The Proven Network Crime TV Shows Formula Can Help Improve Your Online Marketing Strategies!
So basically here’s the main parallel between, the proven crime show formula and your online sales funnel.
Because your basic sales funnel basically has four main components.
1.) Basic must have component # one: In order to have any realistic chance at success, your sales funnel, needs a market tested, free list building, how to problem solving, lead magnet, to give away to your target audience.
In exchange for their online contact information. In other words, you need an ethical bribe, to induce a percentage of your target audience, to join at least one of your opt in email/mobile marketing lists.Right?
2.) Basic must have component # two: And as soon they opt in (join your list), and confirm their subscription.
The initial front end of your functional sales funnel, definitely needs to offer them, some type of market tested, relevant, low cost, how to problem solving, digital information product, which they can purchase, for somewhere between $7 -$27 dollars. The lower the price the better.

3.) Basic must have component # three: Next, sprinkled throughout, your ongoing follow up (drip) email marketing campaign(s), your state of the art sales funnel, definitely needs your main core products and or services.
These are your bread and butter products and or services. And they can and should, range in price from $197 -$997.
4.) Basic must have component # four: And finally, in order to systematically cover all of your marketing bases. Your sales funnel, definitely needs your high end, maximum profit generating products and or services.
Because a certain percentage of your potential customer base, (no matter how small!) it actually turns out to be, they are your premium buyers.
Which means, if you don’t offer products & services, in the price range of at least $1,000 – $25,000 dollars.(Which you -yourself, has also, and or are currently investing in.)
They’ll ultimately purchase them somewhere else! Word to the wise! Do not attempt to market and or promote, high end products or services, you have not personally used and or benefited from!
