Creating a healthy sales funnel is a bit tedious task and requires patience. Don’t behave like a seller with your online visitors. More importantly do not give them everything you have at once. All you need to achieve is user engagement. To do this, you must be able to hook your readers and let them wait to hear all the communication rather than look at a pure sales presentation.

The News
This is an important part, in this, you have to talk about a news discussing a need of a said product. Best example could be an upcoming Christmas Eve or a Halloween Season and you are trying to sell special colorful candles with some beautiful designs over it. But wait at this point & don’t discuss your product yet.
The news is just a hook to call readers attention. You will offer yourself a better position here and let people wait for your next advice.
The Tease
This sounds funny part but it has its own importance and can increase your sales to multiple times. Tease them for what is coming next. Tease your product, offer and build a powerful anticipation with readers. This will build a trust in reader’s eyes and more percentage of them will be ready to buy your product.
The Gift
At this stage, give your prospects some gift. This can be anything valuable such as a sample, a deal or a free tool. More valuable your gift is, you will land up with better sales.
Once you give something valuable to your reader, it creates a positive impact on their mind and it’s most likely behavior that they will try to give you something in return. And the best option they have is to purchase your product.
The Offer
At this stage, you must focus completely on your product and its features including pricing, plans, benefits, guarantees etc. This is a frame where a reader will try to grab most of his attention before making a buying decision.
The Pull
This stage is similar to scarcity where a prospectus may buy your product and get all the benefit and bonuses you said just now or they lose the offer if they do not buy at this moment. In the worst scenario, they will lose this limited period offer completely.
