Lead Capture:
Landing Page: Use a free page builder (systeme.io has a free plan) or your website.
Opt-in Form: Most email platforms provide these.
Lead Magnet: Create a valuable freebie (e.g., a guide, checklist) using Canva (free plan).
Email Sequence:
Welcome Email: Introduce yourself and deliver the lead magnet.
Nurture Sequence: Provide valuable content to build trust.
Sales Sequence: Promote your course.
Sales Page:
This is where people go to purchase.
Delivery:
How the customer accesses your course.
Remember that building an effective email marketing funnel often requires some investment of time and effort to set up the different components and create compelling content.
