Still Stuck at $5k Months? Your Client Pipeline Needs This
When I first heard the word “funnel,” I was too shy to ask what it meant.
So I stayed quiet, Googled later, and cried in a basement listening to someone talk about Facebook ad retargeting. True story.
If marketing has ever made you feel behind, confused, or like you’re the only one who doesn’t get it, I promise you’re not alone.
That’s exactly why I want to break down what a funnel actually is and how you can use one to finally build a steady stream of high-paying, aligned clients without dancing on Reels every day.
Think of a funnel like a fishing net: wide at the top, narrow at the bottom. It’s designed to only keep the right catch.
Let’s break it down.
Step 1: Attract
Help strangers like, trust, and remember you before they ever need your offer.
Some ideas to attract new people:
Instagram content (Reels, carousels, stories)
Pinterest for evergreen visibility
Podcast guest spots or YouTube
Creative collaborations
💡 Quick Tip: If you’re invisible, you’re un-hireable. Make your value loud, clear, and scroll-stopping.
Step 2: Nurture & Invite
This is where casual followers turn into ready-to-book clients.
Ways to nurture:
Email your stories and client wins
Use Instagram Stories like a daily diary
Host a challenge, mini-series, or DM conversation
💡 Quick Tip: Consistency is more important than perfection. Just keep showing up as you.
Step 3: Convert
Now it’s time to make it easy for them to say YES.
Conversion can look like:
Sales calls, Zoom chats, or even quick voice notes
Thoughtful follow-ups with clear next steps
Application forms that do the qualifying for you
💡 Quick Tip: Confused minds don’t convert. Make the “yes” simple, clear, and fast.
The Big Picture
A funnel is not about complicated tech or manipulative strategies. It’s about guiding the right people from discovery to decision in a way that feels natural, authentic, and aligned with you.
