13 What is sale funnel with examples?


A sales funnel is “a series of steps designed to guide visitors toward a buying decision. The
steps are composed of marketing assets that do the work of selling, like landing pages and
email.”
Example: Netflix changes its background image based on what movies and shows are being
promoted. Their site is very simple. There’s a risk reversal right off the bat. You can cancel
any time and not be locked into anything. You can try it free for a month. They’re not
saying, “Hey, this is movies streaming online.” They’re relying on the power of their brand.

Steps in Sales Funnel

1. Homepage: Their homepage explains their risk-free trial, stating that there’s no commitment
and you can cancel anytime. The emphasis on risk reversal is very heavy. It makes sense. Netflix
is a recurring charge. A lot of people are on a budget. Unlike businesses, which are used to
recurring services, an individual doesn’t always look at it the same way.

They’re more worried about being locked in, and whether they could be spending that $9/month
elsewhere. They’re more loss-averse, and Netflix is addressing that. That’s a big part of what is
working with Netflix.

Their homepage is also very simple. There’s not a lot going on. There are just three little bits of
copy. You know exactly what you’re getting with examples of shows and movies.

2. Pricing Page: You can scroll right down to pricing info. You can join for free for a month. By
default, Netflix selects the Premium plan for you. You can downgrade if you want. The pricing is
very clear.It wasn’t immediately clear, though, that Netflix selected a plan for me. It’s smart to
have a plan selected by default. They might do that on purpose to obscure that they’re selecting
the most expensive plan.

14 What is CRO (conversion rate optimization)

shapes and sizes. If you use your website to sell products, the primary goal (known as the
macro-conversion) is for the user to make a purchase. There are smaller conversions that
can happen before a user completes a macro-conversion, such as signing up to receive
emails. These are called micro-conversions.

Examples of conversions
Macro-conversions:

 Purchasing a product from the site


 Requesting a quote
 Subscribing to a service

Examples of micro-conversions:

 Creating an account

15 What is SEO (search engine optimization )


SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, which is the practice of increasing the
quantity and quality of traffic to your website through organic search engine results.
What goes into SEO?
To understand what SEO really means, let's break that sentence down and look at the
parts:
Quality of traffic. You can attract all the visitors in the world, but if they're coming to
your site because Google tells them you're a resource for Apple computers when really
you're a farmer selling apples, that is not quality traffic. Instead you want to attract
visitors who are genuinely interested in products that you offer.
Quantity of traffic. Once you have the right people clicking through from those search
engine results pages (SERPs), more traffic is better.
Organic results. Ads make up a significant portion of many SERPs. Organic traffic is
any traffic that you don't have to pay for.

16 What is SEM (search engine marketing)
