The YouTube Funnel that 4x'ed My Course Sales (BBD Live Recap)

Recently I had the pleasure of speaking on a panel at James Wedmore’s Business By Design (BBD) Live event. I shared my YouTube funnel strategy to generate sales and grow my audience. I’ve always believed in the power of YouTube for audience building. But what if I told you there’s more to it than just growing your subscriber count? Often, we focus on building our audience, growing our list, and then launching. What if there’s a more efficient way to make consistent sales without the hassle of webinars or expensive ad spends?

Enter the YouTube Funnel

I found my answer to that question in the form of a YouTube funnel. I just infused my messaging into my YouTube channel. No need to show up for webinars, or create elaborate sales videos, or run a bunch of ads. The YouTube funnel is about creating a seamless system that guides your audience to your next video, to buy your products, or join your membership.

Building the Funnel, Step by Step

Building a Binge-Worthy Library – At the top of your YouTube funnel is a video, strategically placed in your channel so that people who visit your channel are sure to see it first. There’s a clickable card on the end screen of that video that leads viewers to a “call to action” video. This is your lead getter, or as I like to call it, your “billboard.” In this video, I share valuable content and seamlessly guide viewers to another video, keeping them engaged.
Eliminating Objections – Viewers then can opt into a secret video where I address and eliminate their biggest objection. This is essentially a freebie delivered in video form, ensuring they get all the valuable information while subtly introducing them to my program. I tell them what to do next, which would be starting module 1 of the program.
Sealing the Deal – For the last step in the YouTube funnel, once they opt into the secret video, they are put into an email sequence with a bonus video that I usually provide exclusively to paying clients. At the end of the series of emails, I start getting a little more “sales-y.” I encourage them to purchase my program or membership, whatever I’m currently selling. This exclusive access, email sequence method converts leads at a whopping 20% rate.
