Is It Better To Outsource My Digital Marketing Funnel or Build The Funnel Myself?
Before you started your business, you probably dreamed of the days when you would be a six-figure entrepreneur. Entrepreneurship may have felt like the answer to your problems. You saw it as a ticket to freedom and a life you’ve always imagined.
The thing you probably weren’t ready for were sleepless nights, 12-hour days, and living and breathing your business 24/7.
Where is that four-hour workweek you were promised?
Even if you hire a great team, and outsource a majority of your workload, you need to be able to generate leads and make sales. This process can take a lot of training and trial and error to get it right.
There is an easier way.
You’ve probably heard of automated sales funnels, but the process of actually building one and implementing it sounds overwhelming and complicated.
You could outsource that process to an agency who builds the whole thing for you. However, that usually involves them making you a plug and play funnel that is based on their formula or template. It won’t be customized to your business’ needs.
Another option is to build the funnel yourself and make sure that includes everything you want in your funnel.
But learning how to create an entire digital marketing funnel from scratch is no easy task. It can take weeks, sometimes months, to determine what strategies you should implement. That doesn’t include learning all of the technical aspects and software that you need to make the funnel run.
What if there was a hybrid option? An opportunity to build the funnel yourself, for your exact needs, while working with experts who can fast track the learning curve. And what if these experts could teach you how to implement a successful funnel strategy in nearly half the time of learning how to do it yourself.
Let’s explore all three of these options so that you can find the best solution for your business that will save you time and keep working for you in the long run.
First, let’s talk about outsourcing your funnel.
Outsourcing your Digital Marketing Funnel
There are plenty of agencies out there who can help save you time and build your marketing funnel for you. If you’ve never done anything like this before, then they could get it done faster, depending on their capacity and timeline. Outsourcing your funnel also gets rid of some of the stress and frees up some of your mental bandwidth.
When you outsource your funnel building, you save time, but you also don’t get as much control over the process and what your funnel will look like. You need to have a lot of trust in the agency that you’re hiring to make sure that you’re on the same page and have the same goals in mind for your funnel.
You also won’t fully understand how a digital marketing funnel works. You will have to rely on the agency to make updates or changes to it as your business, and your offers evolve.
So while it will save you time in the short-term, it might become difficult and costly to maintain in the long-run.
The second option is to build the funnel yourself.
Building Your Own Digital Marketing Funnel
When you develop your own marketing funnel, you’ll have full control over the entire process. You’ll have a better understanding of the whole funnel as well as be able to tweak certain parts of it as your business evolves. If you want to extend your funnel or scale it at any point, you won’t be dependant on an agency to make those changes for you.
You know your business better than anyone else, so building your funnel yourself gives you an advantage down the line.
Although it is better to be in control of the process, it can be a very long and time-consuming process to implement a digital marketing funnel from scratch.
You might not even get it right the first or second time. It takes plenty of trial and error the first time you build a funnel before it starts working well for you.
Your time is precious. When your time is occupied with the intricacies of building your funnel, you have less time to focus on the other aspects of your business and your life.
In case you forgot, your time = money.
If this is your first time building an automated funnel, it will take an average of 1000–2000 hours to learn how to do everything on your own. Assuming you pay yourself $50/hr (which is a pretty conservative estimate), that’s $50–100k worth of your time.
So, to recap: You can outsource your funnel to an agency and save time, but lose control of the process. Or you can learn to build and implement the funnel yourself, which gives you all of the control, but will take a significant amount of your time.
There is one other way that will save you time, money, and allow you to own the entire process from start to finish.
Let’s take a look at how our consulting strategy program, is the hybrid option you need to build the automated sales funnel your business deserves.
