Parts of a typical Sales Funnel:

A typical digital funnel consists of the following:

Top portion (Awareness, interest- Traffic)

Top Portion

The top portion relates to marketing. Marketing is required for something to sell. Now what to sell depends upon your niche. When you wish to sell or render service of something, you first do advertisement to attract traffic.

In digital marketing, you have an advantage to attract the traffic, which belongs to your niche. You do google ads, Facebook ads, SEO to get the traffic having interest in your niche.

A good landing page in your content or blog is needed. You need to have some lucrative offer through the landing page like some ebook, free course etc to get the lead from the traffic. Those, who are attracted to your offer, will share their details through your landing page. They are your leads. Now you have to make sure that subscribers get the content, they are searching over internet.
