How to Build an Ebook Funnel

Ebooks are a powerful lead magnet. They help you convince readers to buy into your business while helping you establish yourself as an expert in your field. Placing them inside a funnel lets you enhance their attractiveness and collect contact details to grow your mailing or texting lists.

Creating and Adding a Form

The first step in building an ebook funnel is creating a form visitors can fill out to receive your ebook. To do this, navigate to the Forms tab inside the Sites section and click +Add Form.

  • Choose a template to start with. For an ebook funnel, a simple registration form including fields for the first name and email is sufficient.
  • To enhance the user experience, customize the form. Minor changes such as adding your logo or changing your button colors can elevate the form by highlighting your brand.
  • Save your form with a descriptive name, such as “Ebook Registration.”

Building Your Ebook Funnel

With your form ready, the next step is to integrate it into a funnel that guides the user through signing up for your ebook. Go to the “Funnels” section and click “New Funnel.”

  • Select a template that suits your ebook funnel needs.
  • Customize the funnel page by adding a button that users can click to sign up. This button should trigger a pop-up where the form you created will be displayed.
  • Open the pop-up settings.
  • Add a row and a column, then insert the form element and choose the “Ebook Registration” form you previously created.
  • Customize the pop-up to your liking, then click Save once satisfied.

Configuring the Thank You Page

After users submit their information, they should be directed to a thank you page. In your funnel, navigate to the thank you page section and click Edit.

  • Edit the page to include a personalized message or offer, such as a discount code as a token of appreciation for signing up.
  • Once satisfied with the overall look of your funnel, click Save and Publish in the top right corner.
