This is the funnel you’ll use to collect email subscribers, grow your audience, nurture new leads, and introduce people to your offers. Inside FEA Create, we’ve made it simple for you to create a beautiful lead generation funnel without needing complicated tech or design skills.

In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through how to set up your lead gen funnel, customize the pages, and connect your email sequence.


What Is a Lead Gen Funnel?

A lead gen funnel is a simple system designed to encourage people to join your email list in exchange for something valuable, such as:

  • A freebie

  • A checklist

  • A guide

  • A workbook

  • A mini training

  • A template

The funnel usually includes:

  1. An opt-in page

  2. A thank you page

  3. An automated email sequence

This helps you consistently grow your audience and create more opportunities for sales in your business.


What Do You Need Before You Set This Up?

Before building your lead gen funnel inside FEA Create, you'll need to make sure you have connected your domain and set up your email marketing services.

What’s Included in the Lead Gen Funnel Template?

The FEA Create Lead Gen Funnel template includes:

✅ An opt-in page
✅ A thank you page
✅ A connected email sequence

Everything is already designed for you — you simply customize it with your own branding, copy, and freebie.


Step 1: Customize Your Opt-In Page

Your opt-in page is the page people land on before joining your email list.

This page should clearly explain:

  • What your freebie is

  • Who it’s for

  • What result they’ll get

  • Why they should sign up

Your opt-in page includes:

  • A headline

  • Supporting text

  • A signup form

  • A call-to-action button


What to Include on Your Opt-In Page

Here are a few important elements to customize:

Headline

Clearly explain the transformation or result.

Example:

  • “Download the Ultimate Weekend Packing Checklist”

  • “Get My Free 5-Step Launch Guide”


Supporting Copy

Share a little more about:

  • What’s included

  • Who it’s for

  • What problem it solves

Keep this short and easy to read.


Call-to-Action Button

Use action-focused wording like:

  • Download Now

  • Get the Free Guide

  • Send Me the Checklist

  • Access the Training


Step 2: Customize Your Thank You Page

After someone signs up, they’ll be redirected to your thank you page.

This page confirms their signup and gives you another opportunity to guide them toward the next step in your business.

You could invite them to:

  • Follow you on Instagram

  • Join your Facebook community

  • Book a discovery call

  • Browse your shop

  • Watch a training

  • Explore your course or offer

This page is often overlooked, but it can become a powerful conversion opportunity.


Step 3: Set Up Your Email Sequence

Once someone joins your list, your email sequence will automatically begin.

This sequence is where you:

  • Deliver the freebie

  • Welcome new subscribers

  • Build trust

  • Introduce your offers

Your sequence might include:

  • A welcome email

  • Freebie delivery email

  • Value-based educational emails

  • Storytelling emails

  • Offer invitations


Example Email Sequence

Email 1

Deliver the freebie and welcome them.

Email 2

Share a helpful tip or lesson.

Email 3

Tell a story or build connection.

Email 4

Introduce your product, service, or next step.


Don’t Worry if You Don’t Have Everything Yet

If you don’t yet have:

  • A course

  • A shop

  • A coaching offer

  • A paid program

That’s completely okay.

You can still start building your audience now and grow your offers over time. The most important thing is beginning to grow your email list consistently.


Best Practices for Your Lead Gen Funnel

Keep It Simple

Your funnel does not need to be complicated to work well.


Focus on One Clear Offer

Avoid overwhelming visitors with too many options.


Use Strong Calls-to-Action

Tell people exactly what to do next.


Make Your Freebie Specific

The more focused your freebie is, the more likely people are to sign up.


Final Tip

Your lead gen funnel is often the very first impression someone has of your business.

A simple, clear, and valuable funnel can help you grow your audience consistently while building trust with future customers.

The best part? Once it’s set up, your funnel can continue working for you automatically in the background while you focus on growing your business 💕
