For Checkout: 

1. SamCart—Affordable SaaS Tool

SamCart logo, checkout tool.

What Is It?

This digital marketing tool allows you to create simple checkout pages for your business. 

They also have a ton of templates to choose from so you can A/B test your checkout page copy.

SamCart is a great and affordable tool to use for upselling too. 

You can create upsells and downsells that are dynamic based on how your customers respond and whether they take an offer or not.

For example, if someone rejects the paid trial for your training, you could have a downsell for a free trial instead. 

Maybe it could be another tripwire. 

Or you could also cross-sell something at a similar price point, maybe a complementary product to the tripwire, for example.

Then, if prospects reject that, you can upsell or downsell them on the trial again. You can do that up to 10 times with SamCart.

When we started using this tool 2 years ago, we thought it was kind of clunky because there’s limited ability to kind of put things where we want them to go.

But after getting the hang of things, now we use it for all of our info products checkout pages.

This is how one of them looks like by the way...

AutoGrow sales funnel service pricing.

Pricing

SamCart is a very affordable tool.

And there are 3 packages to better fit your needs.

Launch at $49/mo, Grow at $99/mo, and Scale at $199/mo.

SamCart pricing tiers: Launch, Grow, Scale.

Why Use It? 

When we first used SamCart, we were worried because they didn’t have a 2-step opt-in or 2-step click where you click on a button and instantly a checkout form would appear on the page. 

But they came up with a solution for that based on feedback we shared with them.

So not only is it now easy to create a checkout page, but it’s super easy to integrate with PayPal. 

And customers can check out faster.

I recommend SamCart if you sell any kind of products online where you want to have a seamless checkout experience with multiple payment options, and the ability to do upsells, downsells and cross-sells to maximize the customer lifetime value. 

Also, as a customer, I found their feature set to be perfect. 

It’s not too much. It’s not too little.

They take feedback from customers very seriously.

If you make an argument or show them an example of how you would want to use a new feature or tweak it, they’re actually very open to it and iterate that change very rapidly.

Examples of Marketing Success With It

Freak Athletics’ founder, Rocky Ullah, used Infusionsoft for years. 

His basketball training website made a considerable splash. 

It had YouTube hits in the 17+ million mark and Facebook fans in the millions.

And one day Ullah gave SamCart a try.

He liked the advanced analytics, 1-click upsells, and checkout page customization. 

After using SamCart on his website, Ullah reported 29.3% of added sales

This translated to about $36,773.45 in revenue over a year.

For Building Landing Pages: 

2. Leadpages—Affordable SaaS Tool

Leadpages landing page builder logo.

What Is It?

Leadpages is a landing page builder.

We use it to create and optimize all of our landing pages and our clients’.

We’ve been their customer for 3 years already. 

And it’s the best tool we’ve used so far for building landing pages.

It’s a good plugin to add to the foundation of your site because you’re capitalizing on opportunities to capture new leads who might be stopping by to check out your content or service offerings.

When it comes to Leadpages’ brand effect on the way your products are sold, Leadpages is the best option. 

Their pages are simpler, more “casual” in presentation, and it has a better content upgrade feature.

Users can automatically opt in to get a free downloadable piece of content.

It also has more value-oriented content with a heavy focus on content upgrades. 

And not only that, but their templates are less busy.

Pricing

Leadpages has a solid referral program.

They have a 30% commission rate–—not too shabby in the world of affiliate marketing. 

And they also throw in a few perks for successful affiliates. 

If you get over 20 sales per month, you can unlock the ability to offer exclusive Leadpages discounts and limited-time offers to your audience. 

And they offer 3 very reasonable pricing packages: Standard: $25/mo, Pro: $48/mo, and Advanced: $199/mo.

Leadpages pricing tiers: Standard, Pro, Advanced.

They limit their features on purpose by an order of magnitude.

Standard comes with only email support, Pro comes with email and chat, and Advanced is the only one that allows for phone support along with email and chat. 

A few other notable differences are that only the higher tiers come with unlimited A/B testing, email trigger links, and online sales and payments. 

Why Use It?

Leadpages is easy to use.

Anyone who starts using it will have a good experience because it’s a user-friendly tool.

It doesn’t take much time to learn how to use it.

And for beginners, it has different templates designs that you can choose from. 

All templates include pre-built sections with placeholder widgets that you can edit and customize.

Landing page templates for websites.

Also, their customer support is great. 

You can get to chat with someone from Leadpages’ support in real-time and open a ticket request for assistance.

Help chat and support options.

Leadpages has a pretty vast network of resources for members and non-members to choose from. These resources include:

  • Blog
  • A wide collection of well-made and informative ebooks
  • A weekly podcast
  • Webinars and other marketing training programs
  • Free marketing training university (ConvertedU)

A lot of this content focuses on increasing audience marketing know-how and how Leadpages can help supplement your marketing goals. 

Examples of Marketing Success After Using This Tool

Leadpages founder Clay Collins is of the philosophy that it’s a mistake to try to build the ultimate marketing product. 

That’s because so many have tried and failed (probably him included at some point).

For marketer and entrepreneur Dan Henry, he turned $441 in Facebook ads and Leadpages into $900,000 in real estate sales.

And this was the simple landing page Dan created with Leadpages.

Chirag Kulkarni, the CEO of Taco Agency, who specializes in content marketing and link building says:

“Leadpages is one of my favorite tools to use. Finding, managing and creating great landing pages can be a tedious task, especially if you aren’t technical. One of my favorite ways to use Leadpages is to create landing pages for driving specific audiences to my website.

For example, if I got quoted in a magazine like Inc.co, I will run an ad and send people to my site and have a title that says something like ‘Welcome Inc.com readers!’ By personalizing my landing pages, I get a much higher conversion rate on my campaign.”

Man in glasses, smiling confidently.

And Chet Holmes International who specializes in boosting the success of small and mid-sized businesses, switched to Leadpages in 2014. 

They decided to use it to boost the presence of their eCommerce store. 

And sales spiked to 1100% after their landing pages went live.

For Email Automation: 

3. ActiveCampaign—Affordable SaaS Tool

ActiveCampaign link.

What Is It?

ActiveCampaign is a cloud software platform that offers software for customer experience automation which combines email marketing, marketing automation, sales automation, and CRM features.

We use ActiveCampaign to send our newsletters and email campaigns. 

Pricing

You can pay as little as $15 for their cheapest package, and $279 for their most expensive.

ActiveCampaign pricing tiers.

And for a limited time, they’re offering CRM with Sales Automation for 3 of their packages for free.

They’ve got tons of features and their prices are pretty low compared to other options.

Why Use It?

ActiveCampaign’s customer support isn’t that great to be perfectly honest. 

And the tool’s a bit buggy but your emails do get sent.

Despite the downfalls though, I still recommend it because the functionality it provides is worth its weight in GOLD.

And the cost savings are worth the money.

So, instead of trying to immediately convert a new site visitor, use ActiveCampaign in your sales funnel to nurture a relationship with them first.

This requires less thought from the prospect, and they’ll generally be more willing to do it, especially if they get a free resource (such as a lead magnet).

Once you have their email address, use this tool to automate a follow-up email sequence to nurture them so they eventually buy. This is the “follow up” stage of your funnel.

Examples of Marketing Success After Using This Tool

E-signature resource ApproveMe allows WordPress users to get digital signatures for notarizing documents. 

They tried ActiveCampaign to find out which leads were using their demo service. 

For instance, if a lead used the demo service, ApproveMe labeled them as “tried demo.”

Marketing automation workflow.

To see how much money was coming in from these leads, ApproveMe used Site Tracking in ActiveCampaign. 

Site Tracking allows you to see what users are doing on your website, and use your marketing to respond to what web pages they’ve visited.

Finally, they crafted automated emails that went out to different audience segments that were broken up by engagement level, previous behavior, and other factors. 

They reported more engagement and a 110% sales spike in a month.

One of the best ways to discover where your sales funnel is “leaking” leads is understanding the fundamental levers of online growth.

It reveals a lot about your funnel—if you know where to look.

It’s a two-step formula that will unveil the largest holes by tracking your visitors and their actions.

Just make sure it’s set up to track your website’s traffic by creating a conversion goal in Google Analytics.

Then, set it up to track your funnel and let the data come in for a period of 2 weeks to 30 days (at minimum).

Once you have the data coming in, you can clearly see where your funnel is leaking leads.

For example, take a look at where numbers are dropping off in the example below. 

Funnel conversion rate analysis.

This will give you a clear sign of where the bottleneck is.

Finally, all of your tweaks and changes can be focused on that specific area of your funnel.

For A/B Testing on Landing Pages:

12. Leadpages—Affordable SaaS Tool

Leadpages logo, landing page tool.

Why Use It?

Leadpages is not only great for building landing pages but also for A/B testing.

You can create a landing page and actually test two variables to compare the results on which gets you closer to completing your goal.

Examples of Marketing Success After Using This Tool

One of our strategies to recession-proof our business was to A/B test our homepage. 

With one small change to the copy in our headline, we saw a whopping 80%+ increase in conversions at a 99% confidence interval. That’s 80% more people going (at least) one step deeper into our funnel.

And when you multiply those results by every single day of the month, that’s a huge boost in money coming in.

Take a look at the two headlines we A/B tested and see the tiny tweaks we made…

“Watch Your Digital Marketing Tasks Get Done” 

Digital marketing tasks, solved.

Vs “Delegate All Your Digital Marketing Tasks—Without the High Costs of Hiring” 

Digital marketing tasks delegated.

The second variation ended up winning. We were making an assumption that our “all-in-one team” would sell more. But the word “Delegate” was conveying more value to the audience and the messaging was clearer.

A/B test results: higher conversion.

We invested zero money into doing this A/B test. We just used Leadpages for it and it’s already massively optimizing our conversion rate.

For Personalized Email List Building:

First, you want to create a visually appealing landing page or lead magnet to attract visitors. Then you want to convert those visitors into leads with an enticing offer.

Examples of Marketing Success After Using This Tool

Joshua Earl wrote a case study about how he gained more email subscribers using what he calls the 80/20 “Peel and Stick” Technique and Thrive Leads.

He explains it as such: 

“When you’re buying clicks on AdWords, 80% of the customers will come from 20% of the keywords you bid on. And among those top 20% of keywords, there are probably 3-5 that drive 50-60% of your total business.

Those 3-5 keywords deserve special treatment, because every little bit of juice you squeeze out of them can have a major impact on your sales…’Peel and Stick’ is…the technique for improving the results of those top keywords. You single them out and test custom ads and landing pages JUST for those keywords.”

By following this technique and obtaining email information via Thrive Leads, Earl had a 372% increase for those interested in The Ultimate List of Programming Books.

Here at Growbo, we’ve found that Wufoo is very useful.

For instance, after someone opts in on your email list, they get redirected to your survey page. 

This is the beginning of your survey funnel.

And that’s where you should ask people a couple of basic questions, like their biggest challenges and more about their respective businesses with a Wufoo form.

Then, based on their answers, you should personalize the experience for them in terms of content.

This increases engagement, especially email open and click-through rates. 

Examples of Marketing Success After Using This Tool

Lawrence Watkins, founder of Great Black Speakers said that their email subscription rates have increased by 30% with Wufoo’s Mailchimp Integration.
