Why Are Book Funnels Becoming So Popuplar

Fact: Many marketing greats from Frank Kern to Russell Brunson use book funnels as the most important method of getting tens of thousands of new customers.

Why?

Because a book is an ideal lead magnet to attract new customers into your world and that a book positions as an expert.

As a result, the new customers trust you to solve their problems and help them get more success.

And, some of those are usually ready to buy your next offer.

OK. What is a Book Funnel and Why is it Important?

The advertising rates per click have been increase over the years and as a result, it is not possible to sell a book profitably by using paid media.

That is where a book funnel comes it.

A book funnel offers additional products after someone has decided to buy a book as an order bump and one-time offers on thank you page.

Usually about 20% of the buyers take up some of these offers and as a result, the average sales amount per buyer becomes 2 to 5 times the price of a book.

This can help you to use paid media to bring customers at profit or at a relatively small upfront loss.

That is why book funnels are becoming so popular.

Book Funnels

In general it costs $30 to $60 to sell a book for $5 to $9.

We see experts offer $37 order bump and $197 upsell. I've seen upsells as high as $999 or 1999.

That is how, a book funnel, changes a loss-making book offer into a profit opportunity, allowing you to use paid advertising.

It is like adding new customers for free, allowing you to serve them and sell to them over long term.

We Create or Improve Your Books, Offers, and Funnels

Your books, offers, and funnels should be designed to move a prospect or client to the next step, whether it is to give you their email address, or buy your product or service.

The book works at these 3 different levels:

Book Title

Getting the book title right is most crucial for the success of your book. As a lead magnet, it has to attract the ideal clients and nobody else.

When your dream client sees the book title, they should feel compelled to get the book. Only if they feel "I want it", the book title has done its job.

Table of Contents

Previewing the table of contents, your dream clients should feel, "These are exactly the issues I need help with."

The table of contents needs to further convince the prospect, "Yes this is the book I need."

Content of Chapters

The goal of the book is to give the readers a sense of certainty that you are the right expert to solve the issue they've been facing.

So, reading your book should create certainty and conviction in the mind of the reader that you know exactly what is needed for them to solve their problems or have breakthroughs to take their life or business/finances to the next level.

The book should provide a lot of proof that your solution works, so the reader feels more and more certain and convinced that working with you will solve their issues.

There also needs to be useful contrarian content in the book as well.
There needs to be some training they can use. In fact, a good strategy is to help them complete an easy first step in the book as well (as a major proof point).

But there should be some content that gets them to say - this system is different than what I've seen before.

Finally, it can emphasize the positive outcome of doing what you say as well as the continued negative situation if they don't take action. Together, this push and pull works to create a sense of urgency, so the reader feels compelled to buy your services/products without delay.

Crafting book titles is extremely tricky. The difference between a good title and not-so-good one can be as much as 10 to 20 times or more sales as shown in the case study below.

Offers

Making compelling offers to your dream clients can immediately make your business very profitable and grow rapidly.

When an offer is "compelling", you don't need great copy to convert.

If your ideal prospects are convinced that your solution will give the result you are promising, without them taking risks, then they are more likely to buy.

Warning: The famous marketer Russell Brunson has popularized the free + shipping book offer. Russell is exceptionally good with videos and has a big ad budget, enabling him to sell thousands of books per month to a wide audience. But his style offer does not work for most coaches and consultant, who have a narrowly focused small audience and a small ad budget.

We Use These 3 Clarifying Questions Help Find Compelling Offers

• Who's your dream client? If you have more than one, list all, and pick the best to focus on first.
• If money and time were not constraints, what is the absolutely best, highest-value results can you offer your dream client?
• What would you do if you got paid only if the client got results?

These questions help focus on what really matters and to create compelling offers that your dream clients would find irresistible.

Funnels

You needs these funnels:

Lead Generation Funnels

These capture the email address, so you can follow up. These can offer free stuff or a low-priced product. Adding a low priced product on the thank you page can work well and pay for part of the ad costs.

Funnels for Front-End Sales

Many coaches and consultants have low-priced products for front-end sales. The funnels to sells them work well with 1-click upsells after the initial purchase and increases the average cart value.

Funnels for Back-End Sales

These are at the core of making good profits.
Your tribe already knows you, likes you, and trust you, so backend offers tend to be higher priced and the real secret behind the profits of successful coaches and consultants.

I used to work at Intel in Santa Clara, CA, as a software engineer. My salary was similar to what other software engineers with similar education and experience earned.

I decided to get more ambitious and see if I could get a higher salary.

So, I applied for a few jobs.

I got a call from Allergan Humphrey (a medical company), and when I reached its office, I was taken to the manager's room.

Phil, the manager, had a large clean desk with just a monitor and a book.

After exchanging "Hellos", I pointed to the book on the table and said, "This is my book".

Puzzled, he asked, "What do you mean?"

I said, "I am an author of this book". Then, I opened the book and showed him my name.

With a surprised look on his face, he said, "Ok then, I have nothing to ask you. Do you want the job?"

It took just 2 to 3 minutes to land the job because I was an author.

What really surprised me was that they agreed to my asking fee, which was 300% of what I earned at Intel.
