The Funnel Formula That’s Made Coaches Millions (Step by Step)

In this week’s episode of The Social Media Takeaway (available on all the leading podcast platforms including iTunes, Spotify, and YouTube), I chat with Ellen Finkelstein, a seasoned coach and online marketer who’s been building profitable funnels long before most of us even heard the term. With decades of experience helping experts grow their email lists and sell digital products, Ellen knows exactly what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to converting visibility into sales.

We break down how to turn free content into paying clients, why email lists are still your biggest business asset, and how to build a funnel that works on autopilot.

What we covered:

✅ Why social media without a funnel won’t convert

✅ How to create a free offer that builds your list

✅ The email platform setup you need (without overwhelm)

✅ What a simple funnel looks like (freebie → upsell)

✅ How to automate your emails and follow-ups

✅ Where to promote your funnel (without paying for ads)

✅ How to test and tweak until it works

You don’t need a massive following to get clients. But you do need a system that builds trust and delivers value…consistently.

And that starts with a strong funnel.
