Adventures in Marketland [Memorial Day]


Happy Memorial Day! Please note our team is offline today and we'll be back tomorrow (in email and in FG chat).

We've got a new episode of the Gorgeous Effect and more in our weekly round-up of content for our Funnel Gorgeous community!

The Gorgeous Effect - AITA? Bro Marketers in My DMs✨

In this episode, Julie and Cathy tackle the real behind-the-scenes of online marketing, sharing a candid story about skepticism, boundaries, and the value of true expertise in the funnel world. When a self-proclaimed expert slides into the DMs demanding proof that live webinars can successfully sell $497 offers, things get heated and revealing.

They unpack why so many are skeptical about what’s possible with FG Funnels, how bro marketers are missing the mark, and why adding a human touch makes all the difference in successful webinars. Get ready for an honest look at boundaries, proof, and what it really takes to make a funnel thrive, plus a few laughs at the expense of those who just don’t get it.

📱 The Brand New @CathyFunnels Acct 📱

Cathy started a new Instagram account (@CathyFunnels) teaching the art and science of increasing conversions, and it's actually pretty useful.

She's breaking down the stuff that makes people buy (or not buy). Sales psychology that isn't complicated. Real funnel examples from actual pages in FG. How to get people to open your emails and actually show up to your calls. How to reframe what you're selling so it sells faster.

She posts daily, which is either ambitious or slightly unhinged. We'll see.

Worth a follow if you're tired of conversion advice that requires a PhD to implement. Come learn more at @CathyFunnels.
