This no-code platform helps sellers build a system to improve their customers&#8217; buying experience and increase profitability. On ClickFunnels, you\u2019ll be able to sell digital products, courses, software, newsletter subscriptions, coaching services, memberships,  and physical products. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_ClickFunnels_work\"><\/span>How does ClickFunnels work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>ClickFunnels works by having creators and sellers create a lead magnet landing page for their product that they share on social media or via an ad. The buyer then clicks on the landing page to discover the freebie. They might give their email address if they got a free ebook or a consultation. Then, they\u2019re directed to a sales page where the main offer is shared. Since they\u2019ve already given their email address, they\u2019re automatically sent the main offer to purchase your core product. Then, they\u2019re shown upsells and downsells on the checkout page when they\u2019re about to buy your main product to help boost average order value. People who don\u2019t engage after the freebie receive follow-up emails to help re-engage and convert the sale.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_you_need_to_know_about_selling_on_ClickFunnels\"><\/span>What you need to know about selling on ClickFunnels<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>ClickFunnels is one of the more expensive platforms for selling your products online. The plans range from $97 to $297 per month. Overall, given that some platforms automatically include upsells, the pricing can be considered steep for a platform that offers funnels. Beginners or small businesses may find the fee more expensive than a platform like Payhip, which offers upsell and cross-sell funnels on its free plan.<\/p>\n<p>Some sellers have noted that their site load times are much slower than with other tools they\u2019ve used. For instance, site speed is one of the major factors in how high you rank in search. The faster your site, the lower your bounce rate. Plus, you get a better boost in sales conversions. Platforms like ClickFunnels have a lot of scripts and code that bog down the page.<\/p>\n<p>ClickFunnels has a steeper learning curve than traditional ecommerce platforms. Not everyone is a savvy marketer who has set up high-converting funnels. Creating funnels isn\u2019t as simple as just setting them up. You need to rigorously test your funnels to continuously improve your conversion rates and maximize your revenue.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_ClickFunnels_the_best_platform_to_sell_products\"><\/span>Is ClickFunnels the best platform to sell products?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>No, ClickFunnels isn\u2019t the best platform to sell products; Payhip is. Payhip is an ecommerce platform with low fees and even a free plan. Plus, you can set up upsells and cross-sells to help you boost your average order value without having to create a complicated funnel system. The intuitive platform makes it easy to set up and launch your digital and physical products.
