You decide which funnels are live on your site. A live funnel has a working squeeze page, download page and PDF. A switched-off funnel is hidden: its pages show a simple Page Not Found message and it is left off your Showcase page.
Every funnel starts switched on. A fresh install with all files downloaded has all 96 funnels live, so take a few minutes to switch off the topics that do not fit your audience.
Where to find it:
- On the Funnels tab: the switch on each funnel card.
- On a funnel's Edit page: the switch in the Funnel Status section, next to the word Active or Disabled.
Step by step, one funnel:
- Open the Funnels tab.
- Find the funnel, using a category button or Search funnels.
- Click the switch on its card. Blue means on. The card fades when it is off.
The change saves straight away. There is no Save button to press on the Funnels tab.
Step by step, many funnels:
- Click the category you want, for example Video / YouTube (8).
- Choose All (96) in the per page menu if the category runs over one page.
- Click Disable All to switch off every card on the page, or Enable All to switch them all on.
On the Edit page:
The Funnel Status section shows the same switch with a Live badge when the funnel is on, or Inactive when it is off. It also shows the funnel's category and its web address. If you change the switch here, click Save Funnel Settings at the bottom of the page.
What a visitor sees:
- Switched on: the squeeze page, the download page, the PDF and the legal pages all open, and the funnel appears on your Showcase page in its category.
- Switched off: the squeeze and download addresses show Page Not Found, the PDF link stops, and the funnel drops off the Showcase page. Its settings and stats are kept, so switching it back on brings everything back as it was.
A real example:
Sam's audience is mainly bloggers and coaches, so Sam opens the Video / YouTube category, picks All (96) per page and clicks Disable All. Then Sam does the same for E-Commerce. Your Site now shows 82 funnels on its Showcase page, all on topics its readers care about.
Tips:
- A smaller set of funnels that match your readers usually converts better than all 96 at once.
- Switch a funnel off before you share a link only if you really want to retire it: any link to it shows Page Not Found while it is off.
- The Setup Wizard step Choose Funnels lists your categories for reference. Switching funnels on and off is done on the Funnels tab.
