Clickfunnels Review: Why We Like Clickfunnels
Clickfunnels plays a key role in some of our marketing activities and as such there are members of the Scam Report team who use Clickfunnels daily. There’s a reason we do – and that reason is simple. Clickfunnels works.
Any paid promotion we run or when any new episode of Scam Report TV goes live, there’s a 95% chance that Clickfunnels is powering the web pages where visitors arrive. If it’s not immediately used to create that page, then we guarantee that the next page visitors land on will be running on Clickfunnels.
Why do we use Clickfunnels for paid promotion?
It comes down to control, because with a “funnel” we’re able to create a natural intuitive journey for our visitors. They arrive on our landing page and there’s typically two options: 1/ click to carry out a beneficial action, whether that’s watch a video or fill in a form – or 2/ leave the site. On the next stage there will be two options, do something specific, or leave – and so on until the visitor gets exactly what they came for. (If they do leave all is not lost, clickfunnels has a solution for that too)
With a regular web page such as the one you’re on right now – you have 50+ options as to what to do next and so you could easily end up someplace else and forget about your original intent – learning about Clickfunnels. Regular web pages are by their very nature distracting.
Another key advantage of Clickfunnels compared to our usual website production method is when we want to test several versions of a page for layout, the written copy, design or colors – our team can quickly with some easy drag-and-drop editing, test and analyze user results to ensure we end up with a landing page that’s both easy to use, quick to load – and gets the results we want. We’re able to run all versions at once and then focus on the one with best results.
For our new staff with little or no prior experience of web design and coding, they are able to have a good looking page set up and live within minutes and can fall back on a huge library of pre-built and thoroughly tested templates to really hit the ground running.
If you’re new to web design or even if you’ve a long track record, there’s just no simpler or more powerful way to be able to rapidly launch and test an idea, product or offer with near immediate feedback.
Clickfunnels integrates easily with email autoresponders and has one built in, plays nice with e-commerce, has solutions on-board for affiliate promotion and can even help you write page copy, headlines and other sales elements that converts with an incredibly clever AI called FunnelScripts, written by award-winning copywriters.
In short it does everything an entrepreneur could possibly want in any online situation, from an easy to use a self-contained package – and all at a low monthly price.
Although we don’t feel the need to get up on a stage and scream, Clickfunnels does a lot of heavy lifting here at Scam Report and we wouldn’t be without it.
What’s in the Software?
Clickfunnels is a paid software service consisting of a range of connected applications all focused on increasing a businesses commercial success.
Tools and Materials Available Include:
- Landing Page / Sales Funnel Design
- Website Hosting
- Use of Multi-Million Dollar Templates
- Integrated Payment Systems

The core service is Clickfunnels’ drag-and-drop landing page and funnel builder, where users can either choose from a huge choice of pre-built templates each designed for a specific function and tested to maximize performance over millions of clicks – or they can build their own using a straightforward and foolproof interface.
All pages and funnels are created and hosted on Clickfunnels’ lightning fast and reliable web servers, with these hosting fees fully inclusive in the monthly software cost.
In addition to the included multi-million dollar templates there are hundreds of experienced funnel builders or “funnel hackers” as they are called in the community, who can sell one of their templates or will build a new funnel from scratch.
As mentioned previously, one of our favorite tools in Clickfunnels is the ability to A/B Split-Test – that is to test version A of a page with version B, on live traffic – and to make instant changes as required to ensure pages are working to their optimum best.
Although we don’t use Clickfunnels’ Email Autoresponder ourselves (we use an in-house system) this is another one of Clickfunnel’s bullet-proof integrations that business owners rave about thanks to the way everything throughout a funnel is automated, creating a seamless journey for visitors and reducing friction in any sales or lead generation process.
For those who have trouble writing compelling sales copy or even when you’re just having a blank day, Clickfunnels offers an add-on automated copy writing service called ScriptFunnels – which through a powerful AI and based upon 10’s of thousands successful sales presentations will generate copy that with little to no tweaking can sell your products or services.
The icing on the cake for people selling products or services using the Clickfunnels system is how easily affiliate promotion can be added to any sales page or funnel thanks to an integrated affiliate software called “Backpack”. Clickfunnels perhaps say it best:
Imagine Having An Entire Army Of Motivated, Commission Only Sales People Selling Your Products For You Around The Clock… (And You Don’t Pay Them ANYTHING Until AFTER They Close The Sale!)
While affiliate promotion isn’t for everyone, there’s barely a business in the world that wouldn’t prefer to pay based on results. No sale, no money – effectively de-risking their promotions with no up-front marketing costs for ads.
Finally, Clickfunnels’ training materials and support are second to none in the industry. Alongside how-to video content and written guides, their official help desk is usually fast and responsive and for people wanting immediate help 24-7 will find answers in both the official and unnofficial communities on Facebook.
Clickfunnels Review – In Conclusion
Unusually for Scam Report, Clickfunnels is a product we didn’t need to run special tests on because we use it literally every day.
Although we create most of our standard web pages using WordPress and a few with good old fashioned code, Clickfunnels is always our first choice when we want a page we can rely on to perform when it matters.
This is no exaggeration: we depend on Clickfunnels to keep Scam Report growing.
We can’t guarantee it will make you the 6 or 7 figure income enjoyed by many of it’s users but we do guarantee an easy to operate and enjoyable package that will open your eyes as to what’s possible with a website.
At the end of the day, yes it’s only software – but it’s hardly surprising that Clickfunnels has managed to achieve a cult-like status among it’s fans.
To review Clickfunnels’ we wanted to test it’s claimed ease of use, so we asked one of our shoppers with no prior experience of web design or marketing and what seems to be an average level of computer skills.
Dick P –
Clickfunnels are good but they’ve had their day especially up against companies like GroovePages who’ve taken the best bits of CF and got rid of the annoying parts, the variable service and the scammy community. I still use CF because it formed an integral part of my business however after all their recent changes I’m making moves to other platforms and I know I’m not alone
