If you made it onto Class 1 of Marketing Funnel Mastery earlier this month, you know about the “Sweet Spots” in your funnel.
The first “Sweet Spot” is the traffic coming into the front-end of your funnel. Of course nothing happens without good attention placed here.
You have two choices for beefing up this first stage of your funnel:
- There’s the “content funnel” that is slower but free (blog, social media, etc) and
- The “advertising funnel” that can be fast but has a cost.
Many of the people who really excel (like some of the big names you know in the industry) use the advertising funnel and their secret is to sell a low cost information product at the front-end (immediately upon collecting the lead) to break even on the cost. Then they make their money on the back end as they build their list super fast for free. Others can’t compete with them because they can afford to build their lists quickly… they basically get a free ad budget!
If you tried advertising in the past but with using a ’system’ or selling some one else’s affiliate product on the front-end, that doesn’t work (as I’ve explained in my Marketing Funnel Mastery Class 1).
You will do far better offering your own simple free product upfront immediately after collecting the lead (only use affiliate products in your funnel on the back end as I’ve explained in Marketing Funnel Mastery). Your product can be quite simple and low cost (e-book, video series, etc).
When it comes to learning how to apply this correctly using PPC (Google Adwords) no one can show you how to set up your campaigns better than Mark Hoverson and Jonathan Budd.
Their class fits perfectly into the Marketing Funnel Mastery series I’ve created for you, but theirs is focused entirely on PPC (developing out the first sweet spot area using Google ads– to beef up the traffic on your front-end).
That’s why I encourage you to consider this class.
It may appear ’spendy’ at first–but not at all when you consider what it’s teaching you how to do. This is how you build a big list quickly… this is how the big names in the industry are doing it.
While it’s framed for those of you in the networking industry, I believe it can be highly profitable for any funnel and any product or business model.
Whatever you do, stay focused on develping out those funnels!
Bringing you the best,
Mike Klingler

Just a quick heads-up everyone on a few announcements–
Class 1 of Marketing Funnel Mastery is now posted in the Vault.
Anyone who was an active Renegade Professional before today can access it.
The same username and password that allows you to log into Renegade Professional will get you into the Vault.
The Vault is where we will post all future Marketing Funnel Mastery classes in the future (there will be 11 more + some possible bonus classes to fill in any gaps I see while reviewing your funnels throughout the course). You’ll find the Vault at www.MarketingMerge.com (button at top of page).
The next class, Class 2, will be posted inside the Vault on June 8th, where I’ll review in detail examples of complete funnels for various industries, including a properly constructed front-end and back-end for networkers, affiliate marketers, traditional businesses coming online, coaches, consultants)–
In Class 2 we’ll also get started on drawing YOUR FUNNEL. I’ll have hand-outs for you to print to assist you in doing that for Class 2.
I highly suggest studying Class 1 thoroughly a few days before Class 2 if you didn’t feel you grasped ALL the models and concepts.
Sharing MFM with Others
Those of you interested in sharing the entire MFM course, we’ll be offering it soon at $997 and will have an affiliate program for those of you who would like to add that somewhere in the back-end of your funnel. More on that after Class 2.
Considering the Ad Funnel (PPC, etc)
Watch the short video I posted last night at www.MarketingMerge.com and consider clicking on the button below the video to opt-in for some amazing free value from Mark Hoverson and Jonathan Budd on how to improve Sweet Spot #1 in your funnel (traffic coming in).
Live Event in June, Portland, OR
I’m really excited to get to see many of you again, and meet some of you for the first time in Portland at the Live Event.
At the event, we’ll be consolidating the entire 12 course series for Marketing Funnel Mastery into the weekend. You’ll be able to walk out of there with a fully drawn out funnel and have me there standing over your shoulder helping you do it!
It will be the most important event you could attend because it’s so “on target” with where you are at RIGHT NOW in your business career.
And… because you’ll be going home with a road map for your business to give you clarity like you’ve never had it before on how to cash-flow, referring to a very specific structure to start on immediately upon arriving home.
Those who attend will no doubt make strides MUCH faster than those who don’t. No doubt about it.
The cost of the event is $195 – Downtown Portland, OR.
June 25th – 27th
It’s from Friday at 3 PM (networking only on Friday) to Sunday evening at 5 PM (Sat and Sun are the hands-on classwork days).
Since Friday is just a ‘meet up’ and networking period, you could show up Saturday and be there by 9 AM and still get access to the full value of what we’ll be covering.
This should be enough information to prepare and make flight arrangements.
We’ll have more details and a registration form available to you next week.
Over 250 people already indicated they are coming… I suspect it will be less but still, it’s going to be quite a showing–bigger than the first Live Event last January!
Hope you can make it! It will make a HUGE difference for you.
Inspired to help you break through this year!

I’m really sad that I will have to miss this great get together of like minded people. Having some wings would be a great asset but right now, the winter storm I am facing to drive home is enough to get all birds looking for cover!

What People Are Saying...
I think I am mad. At 72 I am getting the information from you and can not stop reading.. All my life I tried everything and did not succeed in anything. It was a road or roads of struggling. My ideas were GREAT, always in front of everybody else's, but lack of support from my family, my husband, my friends etc. was nil. They thought that what I was talking and suggesting, was pure madness. I was going one step forward and two steps backwards. No support from anywhere, many times being even humiliated. Oh,if I only had the knowledge what you are offering to us now....I am slow using the computer because I am still learning. Marija

Mike the first class was awesome I’ve been a Renegade professional for close to two years now and I must say this is arguably the best training that I’ve seen from you so far.
If you didn’t make the first event I’d suggest you do everything humanly possible to make this one, believe me you won’t be disappointed!

This training is coming just at the right time for me. I’m seriously engaged in a partnership where our marketing funnel needs to be defined clearly. We have already started and will compare our attempt to your recommendations and make adjustments as needed.
