Module #3 Recap: Setting Up Products in GrooveSell™

1. Connecting a custom domain name with pages and publishing it

This is your only financial expense for the length of this challenge, though it is optional. It’s totally possible to continue without a custom domain! However, there are serious pitfalls of using a subdomain — one of which is that it makes your funnel look less professional and polished. And when it comes to processing payments online, trustworthiness is key and a custom domain helps with this.

  a. LeanDomainSearch.com

2. Assessing the aesthetics of your funnel map: Imperfect Action Challenge

It’s time to go back to the funnel map that you made in funnelytics.io from the first module. We’re going to create the pages observable by pulling in screenshots of your webpages, using your new custom domain, to just create your map pretty. This isn’t an essential step!

• Select your funnel map
  a. Settings — Mapping — URL
  b. Insert your custom domain here
  c. Click on the camera icon
• Repeat for all your pages

3. Setting up the products in GrooveSell™

This is the core of today’s training. Now that your pages are up and running, you’re going to have to set up your merchandise in GrooveSell™ using a product funnel. Follow this Imperfect Action Challenge, module 3.

With your pages open in one tab, select GrooveSell™ from the list of programs on the left-hand dropdown menu and then open it in a new tab to easily navigate between the two apps.

• Handle your funnel
  a. The cart icon is currently available for each product in the funnel

4. Connecting the products with your pages: Imperfect Action Challenge

Now that you have all the products set up within your merchandise funnel, you need someplace to send a customer who wants to make a purchase. To put it differently, connecting the links to the button. This is a fairly simple step!

• Select your live Product Funnel in GrooveSell™ (that you made in Step 3)

5. Testing the funnel

Now it is time to check everything. If done correctly, you can start earning money on the internet right now!

Navigating through your site on the way to purchase is a pretty intense experience. Keeping that in mind, you need to make sure everything about it is perfect and sells what needs selling.

The following passage is all about navigating through your site as an online customer would while at different stages of their buying journey for a product or service (often referred to as “funnel paths”). Remembering this point will help remind business owners how important these steps are when they’re editing each individual page within their website’s funnel map so every step leads them closer towards converting into customers who have completed transactions with the company from start-to-finish!

In the next module, we’ll be covering all things satisfaction (recall how we skipped that sooner?) As well as establishing an email sequence in GrooveMail™.
