Hey guys, and welcome back to Make that Sea Change – as you are all probably aware, one of the main focuses of this site is to assist you in finding good ways to earn money online so that you can fund your own sea change in whatever fashion that may be for you. Those of you familiar with my work will also know that I like to point out what it good and not so good out there so you don’t get burnt with the scams. So with that all in mind, today I wanted to run you through a program which grabbed my attention with my FunnelXpress review.

Now, the reason that I was attracted to this one was due to the wording on the sales pitch above – Done for you Commission machine. I have seen these words before and have been caught out by these words before – I watched the demo video and thought OK, maybe this one could be OK?? So there are two main things I want to check out here – first, is it completely done for you? And secondly, can I generate leads and earn money from this program?

For this review, I will run you through:

• What it is
• How it works
• Pros and Cons
• Cost
• My recommendations

Is it completely done for you? Well yes – regardless of the sales pitch there is some configuration required but in general – yes it is. Can I generate leads and earn money from this program? Absolutely you can!

Do I recommend it? – For those working within the JV/Clickbank affiliate marketing arena, I think this could be extremely helpful. For more general affiliate marketing requirements – maybe not. Read on to see why…

What is FunnelXpress?

FunnelXpress is a funnel creation tool that contains a number of pre-built funnels in a number of categories that can be utilised as is or with a little customisation. The Funnels are built around affiliate marketing categories within a number of ‘proven’ niches with pre-built funnels and affiliate programs to apply for. The whole program is very much driven towards those affiliate who work within the software and program releases sold via platforms such as JV Zoo, Warrior+Plus and Clickbank.

Let’s run through it all in more detail below:

What do you get?

The FunnelXpress program contains all of the pages and screens required to build working and shareable funnels. Within the base program (i.e. no upsells), you get access to the following:

Section 1 – Categories

This is the main section of the product where all of the funnel templates are found. The process works as follows:

1. Select your niche
2. Locate the funnel corresponding to the pre-selected product you wish to market
3. Run through the funnel wizard to create your funnel (see video above)

Each category has a number of pre-set products that can be promoted via the funnel that is selected prior to creation.

Section 2 – Products

In this section, users can set up the products that they have either selected in their funnels in section 1 or can choose which ones they wish to promote. Each product is categorised to match the niches found in section 1 with pre-done blurbs and download pages.

Once a product is selected, the user is required to apply for the affiliate program – which directs directly to the product sales pages where they can apply for their affiliate links. It is important to keep in mind here that funnels cannot be released until the application to join the affiliate program is approved – which can at times take a few days.

Note: Individual products can be added to FunnelXpress via the Add Product button however they must be compatible with the preset writing within the funnels themselves.

Section 3 – Subscribers

This section displays the details of those that have opted in via any published funnels. From here, details can be edited to set applicable tags and exported to an autoresponder for ongoing email list management.

Note: FunnelXpress does not contain the capabilities to email subscribers directly.

Section 4 – Email and Banners

Section 4 contains email swipes and banners that can be added to an autoresponder or social media campaigns to assist with funnel promotion. Each swipe and banner matches the categories of the funnels and products listed in the previous sections.

Section 5 – Training Videos

The final section (on the base version) has a decent range of training videos running users through the ins and outs of the program. Each video is only about 2 or so minutes long so it is not a comprehensive run through but it does give the basics quite well.

Do I recommend it?

This is an interesting one… I like the product itself and if your are an affiliate marketer working with Clickbank or JV Zoo type products then in its true form, there is absolutely no reason why you couldn’t set this up quickly to promote your links. The funnels are simple to build and will lead to a decent email list and affiliate sales.

I guess my only real issue with the product is that in spite of its promotion, I am a little hesitant to believe that a newbie could set it up and make money without the need for any configuration. I see some confusion for newbies in the application for affiliate programs as well as autoresponder configuration – Not to mention social media configuration and management. There is also no way to really use the funnels for non JV affiliate purposes – I mean you can build your own products, but I was not able to find too much in the way of funnel configuration options.

At the end of the day, if you are a JV/Clickbank affiliate, or are looking for other ways to build an email list for your affiliate website, then absolutely I think this program could be of advantage for you – It is way cheaper than many of the other funnel options out there (albeit without the configuration power) and funnels can be build extremely quickly and effectively.

How does it compare to my #1 Recommendation?

As I have said, FunnelXpress is definitely a good product for those in the fast paced software release and competition game.
