Thanks!

We had a discussion about it here

Please note that it is a funnel builder only. You still have to send it traffic. It may save time but that's it

It´s just as jeremie said, Clickfunnels is no way to promote your product.

It just helps to build a funnel but be aware that it´s not the best solution for all kinds of products.

One question, do you plan to promote your own products or do you want to promote affiliate offers?

Well, to give a bit more context.

I'm fairly new to AM. I tried it several months ago but quit after 2 weeks due to Analysis Paralysis. Now i give it another shot because i have a great product that i want to promote the sh*t out of (don't know if one can swear on this forum ).

Anyway, I have four products that i want to promote: the main one is related to education, mainly for students. The other 3 are kind of different niche but can overlap with the main one and are great products to upsell.

I want to sell them the following way: each product as an individual purchase; and all of them together as a bundle (with reduced price ofc).

My initial idea was to create a website (e-com, probably Shopify) and just place them there, with pricetag and all of the shabang. Then, promote it on Instagram, FB, etc.

Now, my fear is. That i'll set up the website, do all the work, and not have any sales because i can't drive traffic.

So yeah, My product idea is great (i've done research on it and there is a gap in the market) but i can't launch it because i have no idea how to run traffic (i mean, i have a faint idea: FB, Insta, but these accounts get banned and shadowbanned and i'll become trafficless )

If you can give me some advice now, that would be great.

Thanks!

Launch an affiliate program. So you handout a certain amount / fee /% towards publishers when a sale has been done. This way you don't have to find out mediabuy yourself. Ofcourse be sure your website, landers etc are optimized for mediabuy and other traffic sources!

If you know you'll get stuck on how to promote your products, then you should really work on a plan on how to promote your products first, then worry about Shopify or clickfunnels - which btw both their page loading speeds suck.

Also, if your products are whitehat, meaning that they really provide a justified value for their price, you shouldn't really worry about getting banned on FB or any other traffic source. Keep in mind that the bans hat usually happen with affiliate offers, are often related to negative user experience with the product, fake claims and so on.

Do a preliminary estimation of how much budget, time and man power you'll need and can allocate to the promotion of your products, then start putting the pieces together step-by-step.
