- Do I need expensive funnel software?
- No. Every model here can be built with a website builder, a form, and an email tool — typically under $50 a month combined. Dedicated funnel platforms package those together conveniently but they are not required, and they are a poor first purchase before you know which model you need.
- Which funnel should I build first?
- Chapter 2 gives you a selection framework based on your price point and how much trust the purchase requires. For most solopreneurs selling services between roughly $500 and $5,000, the consultation funnel is the right first build.
- How long does it take to build one?
- The lead magnet and consultation funnels are typically a weekend of focused work if your offer is already clear. Webinar funnels take considerably longer because the content itself is the main build. The blueprint gives you the build order so you ship something live rather than perfecting one stage.
- What if I already have a funnel that half works?
- Start with the metrics chapter. Find which stage has the largest proportional drop-off, then read the chapter covering that stage. Rebuilding a whole funnel when one stage is leaking is expensive and usually unnecessary.
