Do you know what golden nuggets look like or feel like?
Prepared for a long post? … Let’s gooo!
I want to share my successes and the strategies that I use to get the commissions so that someone might potentially make their first commission.
I started promoting Clickfunnels products at the end of January and started making significant commissions this month when I figured that you should not promote books, but mostly OFA challenge and here are a couple of reasons:
#1️ OFA is a steal for the price of what is offered, just think about other courses from Clickfunnels and the prices from $1000 and up, the lessons with top entrepreneurs are just priceless as those who signup get an action plan that will allow them to be profitable with Clickfunnels.
This software was designed for selling, it should not be an expense but an investment that has a positive ROI and that’s what OFA teaches beginners.
#2 Since the product is so great, people will be super grateful that they listened to you and took the leap of faith when enrolling in the challenge, this will build that trust even further, and for an affiliate marketer it’s important that your audience believes in what you say, otherwise even if they enroll they will not be serious.
#3 The point is that promoting OFA is key to having people like you and trust you as the one who recommended.
It significantly improves the stick rate, you’ll need years of passionate studying and testing, geeking out to match the level of Stephen Larsen so it’s better for your audience to go through OFA and to learn from those who have experience in coaching, because most likely people in this group(affiliate marketing) can’t match that knowledge
#4 Don’t sell books until you know the numbers and LTV of your signups, unless you have massive pockets for ads, you’ll need to spend 20 bucks to get $1 in initial commissions, hoping that they will then go up the ladder and buy other products, but you can’t afford to make such moves in the beginning
#5 OFA unlike the free trial has the people put skin in the game from day 1 which makes them be way more serious than when you give them a free trial, anything that is given for free is perceived as free, unfortunately
Now how I managed to sell 10 OFA (my own strategy)
1. I made a list of people whom I know will benefit by taking the challenge (obviously I took it myself and I know what’s inside from A to Z and how it helped me)
2. In Excel I created a table with all the names(these are not my friends and family, it’s my network of people since I’ve been working online for more than 2 years), about 30 names and reached out to them with personalized messages telling how it will help grow from the point they are at the moment
3. Bonus stack (not only courses, don’t ever buy OFA to receive courses, that worked in the past, make sure there’s support groups and consultation, taking you from where you are right now)
4. Use colors in Excel to highlight people who are interested, want to buy, bought, this will help you see the big picture. Also, learn how to overcome objections, people will say
a. I don’t have money
b. I don’t have time
c. This is not for me
d. I’m in a different business
e. A challenge should not cost money
Tell a story or a case study or at least a logical reason to get over each objection.
You’ll have to sell (convince people it will solve their problem) even if the product is free.
This is not only to know, make sure you understand all of the above and you’ll make your first or your next commissions from OFA, and it will be a win for Clickfunnels, a win for you and a huge win for the person who signed up.
I’ll be posting more valuable posts,

How I Develop Content Ideas
Since I started posting regular content in this group daily, members have been asking me how I generate my ideas for posts.
I’d like to share some tips on that.
This post will only cover idea generation. How to write great content will be covered another time!
#1: Document Your Process
Every time you learn or figure out how to do something in your business, document your process and share it. When I wanted to land a TEDx talk, I did some initial research online, figured some things out along the way, got the gig, then wrote a blog post about how I did it.
When I wanted to host a summit, I did some research, figured out how to go about it, did it, then write content about how I did it.
Do. Document. Share.
Bonus: Publish your SOPs (standard operating procedures). Do something in your business every day, and have a documented process to follow each time so you don’t forget? Share it.
#2: Compile Answers to Your Own Questions
Every question you have now that you seek out an answer to is something your clients eventually will need to learn, too. So find your answers, then put them in one place.
Some of the content I’ve been sharing recently I wrote years ago when I was getting my own questions answered.
Bonus: We all create lists, and people love seeing our lists. You googled ‘social media post ideas’ today? Then wrote a list of 100 of them in your phone for your own use? Make that list public in a blog post.
#3: Answer Your Audience’s FAQs
Instead of getting annoyed that everyone in a group seems to ask the same question again and again, write content which answers it. This is the content they are obviously craving.
A lot of the blog posts I created early on were simply because the same questions kept coming up in coaching sessions (since I have my target client really dialed in!), and I wanted the answer written down in a post so I could just send them the link and say, “here, read this.”
#4: Dig Deep to a Granular Level.
Take your one general content idea, and create a mind map where that idea is the main ‘node’, and see how many levels down or deep into that topic you can go. For example: Sales funnels > landing pages > lead magnets > types of lead magnets > worksheets >> “How to Create a PDF with Fillable Fields”
Bonus: Assume no one knows anything. So many people hold back from sharing valuable content because they think it’s just so basic or even obvious to others. I guarantee you, it’s not.
I hope I helped someone today, please don’t hesitate to hit the share Button and comment too. Thank you
