Example: "Learn Email Marketing in 30 Days"

Subheadline: Explain who this is for and what they'll get.

CTA Button: Action-oriented. "Get My Free Guide" not "Submit"

Form: Collect name + email. Nothing more.

Step 4: Set Up Email Delivery

1. Go to "Emails" → "Sequences"

2. Add your custom domain
3. Point DNS records
4. Wait for SSL certificate

Launch and Test

Before driving traffic:

• Submit your own form
• Check email delivery
• Test all links
• Verify mobile appearance

Driving Traffic

Once your funnel is live, drive traffic:

• Share on social media
• Post in relevant communities
• Write content linking to your funnel
• Run paid ads (when ready)

The Math That Matters

With a working funnel:

• 100 visitors × 30% opt-in = 30 leads
• 30 leads × 3% sale conversion = 0.9 customers
• At $97/product = ~$87 revenue

This is conservative. Good funnels do significantly better.

Key Takeaways

1. Start with a lead magnet funnel
2. Deliver value first, sell second
3. Automate everything you can
4. Test, measure, iterate

Systeme.io's free plan gives you everything you need to start. No excuses.
