Having an online funnel (or two, or three) in place is THE main way to start scaling your business to more profits and more time-freedom for yourself.

The coolest thing about funnels is that you don't have to have a "go big or go home" mentality to be successful with them: if you're just starting out in business, putting in a small, basic funnel that makes a small handful of sales per month can be enough to make a MASSIVE difference for you.

In this episode, I go over the FIVE main elements every funnel needs, and give you example funnels to mimic for three different business types: freelancers or creative agencies, consultants, and digital product selling for passive income.
