April 09, 20251 min read

✨ Introduction

Running an online business without a funnel is like selling a course in the dark. A funnel helps you guide your audience from stranger to soul-aligned buyer — automatically. But you don’t need 20 tools. You just need the right 5.

Let’s break down the essential tech stack we recommend for digital creators, coaches, and course founders.


1️⃣ A Beautiful, Conversion-Ready Website or Landing Page

📍 Why it matters: It’s your digital storefront. It’s where people decide to trust you — or bounce.

✅ Powerhouse Tip: Use platforms like Showit, Kajabi, or Webflow. We build these in our [Surge] and [Power Surge] packages.


2️⃣ Email Marketing Software

📩 Why it matters: It’s how you nurture your people — with value, storytelling, and offers that feel good to open.

✅ Powerhouse Pick: ConvertKit, Flodesk, or white-labeled GHL


3️⃣ Automated Sales Funnel Builder

🌀 Why it matters: It takes your offer and leads your audience through education, trust, and yes — the buy button.

✅ Pro Tip: Use simple templates, don’t overbuild. Focus on flow, not just visuals.


4️⃣ Payment Processor

💳 Why it matters: You want your money — fast, securely, and with credibility.

✅ Stripe, PayPal, or GHL Payments if white-labeling. Make sure it’s branded with your biz name and trust signals.


5️⃣ Analytics Dashboard

📊 Why it matters: You can’t optimize what you don’t measure.

✅ Use GHL, Google Analytics, or Metricool to track conversion points and audience behavior.


💡 Bonus Tip: Hire a tech partner who can set all this up seamlessly, strategically, and in your energy. Cough cough — we do that. 😉
