Mastering Course Funnels: From Lead Magnet to Loyal Students

In the world of online course creation, having an amazing product is just one piece of the puzzle. The real magic lies in building a course funnel that takes potential students from curiosity to commitment. If you’re ready to master the art of sales funnels and turn your browsers into loyal course participants, this guide is for you.


What Is a Course Funnel?

A course funnel is a strategic, step-by-step process designed to guide potential students through the buyer’s journey. It begins with attracting leads, moves into nurturing them, and ultimately converts them into paying participants for your course.

A well-crafted funnel doesn’t just drive sales—it builds trust, boosts engagement, and encourages students to stick with your brand for the long term.


The Stages of a Course Funnel

1. Awareness: The Lead Magnet

Your funnel starts with a lead magnet—a free, high-value resource that grabs attention and captures email addresses. This could be a mini-course, a checklist, or even a webinar.

Pro Tip: Create your lead magnet with Kajabi for seamless integration into your funnel. Kajabi’s lead capture features make it easy to gather and nurture leads effortlessly. Learn more about Kajabi here.
