So you want to start an auto webinar funnel?
Looking for the FASTEST way to go from zero to launch?
Here’s the TL;DR:
- Use ClickFunnels to map out and build your pages
- Use EverWebinar to host your automated webinar
But you probably want a more detailed explanation?
Keep reading…
#1. Preparing Everything
Make sure you have your hook, copy, product/service, and the actual webinar ready.
No one said this was going to be easy.
The copywriting on your funnel pages definitely matter. And so do the autoresponder emails.
- To learn how to write better copy, I highly recommend Copywriting Academy.
- If you want some advanced techniques to UP your email marketing, I recommend Inbox Blueprint 2.0.
Both of these are amazing training courses by Anik Singal.
But if you REALLY know your stuff – the entire process can be completed in a couple of days.
Once you’ve set up your entire auto webinar funnel – it pretty much runs like a MACHINE.
That ‘MACHINE’ bit got you motivated, eh?
All right, moving on to…
#2. ClickFunnels for Pages
This isn’t a ClickFunnels page builder tutorial.
So I’ll skip to the meat and bones. These are the pages you want:
Webinar Registration Page
ClickFunnels has a bunch of amazing opt-in templates and some even webinar registration page templates.
Feel free to play around with them and customize the one you like the best AND that fits your marketing message.
The IMPORTANT thing to remember here is to embed the EVERWEBINAR BUTTON on this page.
So you’ll be disabling the ClickFunnels opt-in process/popup from the page and replacing the button with the one EverWebinar gives you.
And THERE is the problem.
I’m a design freak and it makes NO SENSE to use the standard EverWebinar ‘Blue Button‘ on your web-reg page. It’s not a strong CTA.
You might just want a different colored button:
Orange, Red, Green, Black(?)
WITH a different call-to-action.
Something like this perhaps?
Here’s how to get a button like that:
Old EverWebinar:
- Add a custom Javascript/HTML element on your page.
- Add the following code to that page: ew-cf-button
- See where I’ve mentioned: regpopbox_xxxxx_xxxxxxxx
- Simply replace that with your own EverWebinar campaign ‘regpopbox’ id.
New EverWebinar:
- Add a custom Javascript/HTML element on your page.
- Add the following code to that page: ew-cb-button-new
- See where I’ve mentioned: regpopbox_xxxxx_xxxxxxxx
- Simply replace that with your own EverWebinar campaign ‘regpopbox’ id.
- Towards the end of the code, you’ll also notice: ‘aaaaaaaaaa’ and ‘bbbbbbbbbb’. You need to replace these with your respective values from the standard EverWebinar embed code.
- Change the “background-color” RGB values to change the color of the button.
Also, you can pretty much change the colors and text of the button as you wish.
Here’s a video showing you how it’s done:
Now that your web-reg page is all set, we move on to:
Order Page
Your web-reg TY page and actual webinar pages will be hosted by EverWebinar. Hooray!
So the order page (if you don’t have one already) needs to be on a memorable URL.
Something like: yourdomain.com/go
You can map out specific URL’s to specific pages inside ClickFunnels.
There are a lot of order form templates in CF – feel free to choose anyone you fancy.
Order ThankYou Page
This can be a simple TY page with a download/access button.
Just make sure your EverWebinar sales tracking PIXEL is installed on this page.
Here’s how you get that pixel:
Product/Service Delivery
This is basically the product download/access area.
Do you REALLY need me to explain this?
No… Just no.
You got it. I believe in you.
Next up…
#3. EverWebinar for Auto Webinar
I won’t go into the details of how to setup your EverWebinar campaign in here. Because I’ve already done that in my EverWebinar review (Shameless plug).
All your webinar notification emails will be sent via EverWebinar as well.
But here are the PAGES you need in your funnel…
WebReg ThankYou Page (Hosted by EverWebinar)
EW makes it super easy for you to host a custom WebReg TY page.
Make sure you’re getting the newly registered prospect to take some action on that page.
Add a video, some text, and a button.
- Video – Thank ’em for registering for the webbie. And explain their next steps BEFORE the webinar.
- Some text – Thank ’em and briefly explain the next steps.
- Button – Call to action to the next steps.
LIVE and REPLAY Webinar Pages (Hosted by EverWebinar)
These are completely hands-off. Although the webinar is not ACTUALLY LIVE. For real LIVE webinars, you probably want WebinarJam.
EW autogenerates these pages and you can customize some elements of that page:
- Product offers with link to the order page
- Auto-redirect to order page after the webinar finishes
- Chat lines. Once you have a couple thousand, let it roll.
EverWebinar vs ClickFunnels
Now if you’re thinking:
Hmmm. ClickFunnels has a complete auto webinar system built-in already. Why am I using EverWebinar?
Here’s your answer:
That’s what we thought when we first launched the AutoWebinar funnel for our SaaS product.
Optimized all the pages. Every single page, notification emails, webinar delivery – was set up on ClickFunnels.
Then we started FB ads.
Super-Targeted audience. Ads were working. People were getting interested.
The first day, no sales.
Then finally ONE sale.
Then next few days – ZERO sales.
We were sad that it wasn’t converting well. But happy that at least it was converting.
Then we made the SWITCH to the EverWebinar + ClickFunnels combo like I’ve described in this post.
MAGIC!
1-3 sales per day.
Not kidding.
We pulled off a 180 from a negative ROI FB ad campaign to 300% ROI overnight.
It LITERALLY was overnight – because I set it up at night and sales had come in by morning.
You can possibly get the same results WITHOUT using ClickFunnels entirely. Just use a different landing page software (or have pages hand-designed?) with EverWebinar for your AutoWebinar delivery.
I just love using the CF + EW combo – simply because you’ll be using webinars for mid-high ticket anyways. The costs won’t pinch as much.
Now if you’re planning on selling Tripwires using your webinar – just… just STOP planning!
Whaddya Think?
I’d love to hear your thoughts. Lemme know in the comments below:
- Are you using ClickFunnels?
- Are you using EverWebinar with some other landing page software?
- Or are you using the CF + EW combo like I’ve described above?
- Happy that you read this entire post to this very last line? (thank you, BTW)
Ritoban, great post – thank you… But can you please update this for the new WebinarJam / Everwebinar? I did everything you said, and it is not working. See this video: http://somup.com/cbQOb5VbtO – Thanks! – Joe
Hey Joe, thanks for your feedback. I’ll look into this and post an update soon.
Hey, any update on this? I have the new EW and this isn’t working. It def has something to do with replacing the app.webinarjam part with the everwebinar.gendhi.com but I’m not really sure.
Any help here would be highly appreciated! thanks
Hey Curt, I have been able to figure out a solution. I’ll be posting it here in a couple days
Hey Ritoban,
Have you figured this out yet?
Stressssfullll with the code change
Hey Chris, I’ve updated the post with the new EverWebinar button code.
Hi Curt, the post has been updated
Yeah, the button code it’s not working so I right click/inspect the everwebinar registration button and copy the CSS of the actually button into the CSS editor in ClickFunnels and change the color and font size there.
Its working with the new updated code
Hey,
very helpful post. But i need it for the new everwebinar. Do you have a update already?
Yes I do. Will be published in a couple days
Any update on this? Thanks!
Post has been updated
Hi Ritoban — Great post! I’m *hoping* that you might be able to assist with a very similar issue. I’m using WebinarJam (not EverWebinar). The Registration Button code you provided is so very close to the WebinarJam code — but not quite the same. In other words, I can’t get the HTML to work for a scheduled WebinarJam webinar.
Here is the Registration Code straight from WebinarJam:
Register now
The critical URLs which differ from your code are as follows:
script src=”//events.genndi.com/register.box.js”
img src=”//events.genndi.com/tracker?action=registration&webicode=7b7ee52ff3&memberid=169105139238471554
Your URLs for EverWebinar are:
script src=”//events.genndi.com/register.evergreen.extra.js”
img src=”//events.genndi.com/tracker?action=registration-evergreen&webicode=aaaaaaaaaaaa&version=&memberid=bbbbbbbbbbbb
I’ve tried simply removing the “.evergreen” and “-evergreen” coding, but that doesn’t seem to work.
Any other thoughts? Many thanks!
Hi Ritoban,
Do you know of anyway of getting Everwebinar contacts that register BACK into CF Actionetics for follow up?
Thanks!
Could probably be done using webhooks. Contact a programmer or CF team?
Hey Ritoban, thank you so much for this update it’s brilliant, it’s so hard to find code for the new EverWebinar! Do you have a code for the just in time countdown as it’s driving me crazy:/ thanks in advance
Great article! I am in the midst of optimizing my auto-webinar and just testing traffic in week 1.
Two things:
1) You mentioned you made the switch from using 100% CF to Everwebinar hosting everything…is this because EW has superior stats? What about EW made it that you increased your sales?
2) Along the same thinking as the last question, did you change anything about the offer when you initially make the switch?
Right now, my webinar is set-up in EW and my pages in CF and my autoresponder is Activecampaign (webhook to deadline funnel) I was thinking of moving EVERYTHING over to Actionetics…but curious to see why or why not?
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated?
Jay
I have the exact same setup as you do. Page in CF. Webinar in EW and Active Campaign autoresponder.
Great video! I did learn so much. I am using Webinar Jam and was able to get this to work on my CF page but when I use the CF via WordPress it does not open the actual button. Besides that it was straight forward. I did have to modify your code slightly to work with Webinar Jam vs EverWebinar.
Thank you for the feedback
Hey Ritoban, thanks for the info, im having trouble with doing this, i follow step by step with the new script you gave and work like for 10 mins and then nothing happend u know why?? and also how can i edit the size of the text.
Did you try out the new code that was updated? Its working for me.
Yay I finally got it to work! Had to update the code for Webinar Jam
Woo hooo. Great job Melissa
When someone registers for your webinar, if they don’t go to the thank you page on clickfunnels (you said you’re just sending them to the EW thank you page) how do you know:
(a) how well the registration you have is performing for conversions?
(b) If you wanted to split test the registration page how can you track conversions?
Thanks!
Mike
EverWebinar shows you stats on how many people clicked the button and how many registered. You have stats of how many people visited the page inside ClickFunnels. You can use the standard CF Split testing.
