Now I gotta tell you, I've been through a lot of different email providers and platforms and funnel makers and all that. And I've used stuff like ClickFunnels, and I've used Constant Contact, and oh my God, so many of them. I can't even think of all of them right now. Aweber, I've used Infusionsoft, and hands down, one of the best ones I've ever switched to was Cartra. And I'll tell you, one of the big things I noticed about Cartra, when I moved over to Cartra, my email deliverability was better. And that can make you money right there. I mean, if people don't see your emails, then you can't make any money. But I also saved hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars a month on the services that Cartra provides because they're cheaper. They cost less and they have a lot of these things included. I actually canceled eight pieces of software when I got Cartra and pay less money a month. So let's get into it and let me show you how it works. When I first got introduced to Cartra, I gotta tell you, it wasn't love at first sight. I mean, I thought it was pretty cool, but I started to think about all the funnels and all the pages and all the emails I had set up in Infusionsoft, which I think they call it Keep now. And I thought, oh my God, it's gonna be a nightmare to move it. But the point was it was such a cheaper platform and it did so much more than I just couldn't resist. Now I had some help, but it took us six months to move everything over. If you're starting out, you're very like, you can jump in there, build all your stuff in Cartra and you don't have to worry about moving it. But I did move it. And that's the first obstacle I hear from people is, oh my God, I have so much stuff. I don't wanna move it. I know that and I know that's a lot of work, but if it could earn you another 20 or 30 or 40 or 100% a month, why wouldn't you do that? Why wouldn't you move your stuff over? Take the time and effort and move it. I'm telling you, it's well, well worth it. First off, let's talk about what Cartra is. It's a platform that was created by Andy Jenkins and Mike Falsame. And it's just an amazing platform. I will tell you that. These guys have been in the digital marketing arena for years and years and years. They've had a lot of success. Andy Jenkins has since passed away. His wife, Sarah, is now involved in running it and Mike went off and did something else. But I will tell you, it was started by two guys who knew how to market online and they knew what the online marketer needed. Now the approach in Cartra is really different from any other platform because most platforms out there are task related and in Cartra, it's goal related. So we wanna hit a goal. We're trying to do a particular thing. For example, we typically see and do this. Opt-in, landing page, tripwire page, one-time offer page, emails equal the goal. Now, instead Cartra wants you to work from the goal backwards. So you're gonna have the goal, whatever that is. You're gonna have your emails that go to that goal. You're gonna have the one-time offer page, the tripwire page, and then the opt-in landing page. So the process is still the same. People go through the same process but you have to build it backwards in Cartra. I mean, don't let that scare you at first. It did scare me. It was like, I don't have the part to put in the emails and then we're out. But you'll get it. It's not that hard. So let's look at the features first that are inside Cartra. The first one is multi-dimensional sales funnels and email marketing. Number two, product shopping carts. Number three, opt-in marketing sales and landing pages. Number four, help desk with live chat. I love this, I gotta tell you. Number five, affiliate management. Number six, course and membership sites with multiple pricing tiers. And number seven, video hosting with pre and post CTAs. Now let's not forget, on top of that, Cartra has some pretty amazing analytics on every single part of your funnel, your emails, your sales pages, your membership sites. So you can go in there and actually see what's happening, what's occurring. Now, the first question most people have is how much does it cost? How much does it cost? In the description below, I'm gonna put a link and you can actually watch a video on how Cartra works. And if you're interested, you can actually get a 14-day trial for $1. So you can get in there, play around, see if you like it, I know you will. I promise you, if you do this $1 trial and you put a little work into it, you're never gonna want to leave. It's just too much fun. Now up on the screen, I'll put the current pricing. And that is subject to change. $99 a month for the starter. You get 2,500 leads. 199 for the silver, you get 12,500 leads. And the gold is 299 with 25,499 for 50,000 leads and 699 for 100,000 plus. Now these are for monthly plans. I personally don't do a monthly plan. I pay one year in advance because I get a huge discount. And you can go to their site and you can look at that. Like I said, I have a link below there and you can look at all the pricing. Now I wanna give you an example of some of the things that some of you guys may be paying now. If you had email management, you may use ConvertKit, which is 79 bucks a month. Member Vault for courses and membership is $49 a month. Deadline funnel for evergreen timers and funnel is $37 lead pages, $37 a month. Sam Cart, $199 a month for your payments and affiliate program. And Zapier for connecting everything can be about $50 a month. So that comparison alone, that's $451 versus a Cartre one at $149 a month. So right off the bat, you're gonna be saving a ton of money. And the cool thing is I like about Cartre is I log into one place. I don't have to log in to click funnels and infusion soft and all these other places that you have to go take time. So you have that time savings there and that's really hard to put a value on because if you're an internet marketer you could be worth $500 or $1,000 or $5,000 an hour. And if you're running around to all these sites and logging into all these sites and having one site talk to another site, you're wasting a lot of time. The question is not all software is perfect so is Cartre perfect? I don't know if it's perfect, but I can tell you this, it's a lot better than almost anything that's out there and it saved me a lot of time and money. Now the one thing I especially like is the course management. Now the first thing I'll tell you is it's not the fanciest setup. You're gonna have to use their templates in there and you're not gonna be able to design it exactly the way you want with certain colors and all these other things. However, I want you to keep something in mind when you're thinking about your course design. These guys have been around for a long time. They know what works in courses. So they've done the templates for a course that is gonna work. But here's the second and most important thing. People don't even see the design of your course until they've already bought it. So don't overthink this that it's gotta look a certain way and it's gotta be this. You can put your logos in there and you can put your names of all your modules and your sub modules and all that. You can do all that. That's all there. Maybe you won't be able to put as much text in there you want for a particular name for a module. But the point is they've already bought it. So once you get to the stage here guys, you've already collected money. These are just aesthetics and they don't matter as much as you think they do. If you're marketing your course right now and you've got funnels, if you're a good digital marketer you've got some type of funnel, you're paying a lot of money to build a funnel somewhere and you're probably paying to have your membership somewhere. Now I know some sites, I had ClickFunnels. They have a membership area. Doesn't even compare to Carter, it doesn't. ClickFunnels was a good program. But the problem is they're expensive. You're paying a lot of money every single month and I didn't like their Actionetics. Actionetics was their email program and it didn't really tag people to do the things that I wanted it to do. The other thing I especially like about Cartra is the analytics. Once you've put a course inside Cartra you can run analytics on how far people get on it and you can trigger emails to go out to people. So if somebody has logged into Cartra and they've gone through the first three modules and they've stopped there and they haven't gone any further and they're not tagged with the next modules, you can send out an automated email to them and say, hey, click here to get back to your course, to get back to the training and I see that you've stopped here. Or what's even better is you can send an email once they get to the end of the course and send them a certificate of completion, congratulate them and say, hey, since you've completed this particular course, we can give you a 50% discount for the next 72 hours on this next course. So you can actually lead them to one of your other courses which is a really, really cool idea. Matter of fact, I've gotta put a lot of these things on my courses as I'm talking to you now and think, gosh, there's a lot more stuff I could do. But the thing is it gives you that accessibility to do these things because you're actually hosting your videos in there and since you're hosting those videos in there you know how far they've gone. If you've got a course and your videos are hosted at, let's say Vimeo or the YouTube or whatever, you don't know how far into that video they even watch, you don't know where they're falling out. If you know where they're falling out when you host them inside of Partra, you can maybe make a change at that point in your video. Maybe there's something there that's causing people to leave that video at that time and you'll know exactly what that time is so you can go in there and look at those videos and make those adjustments. Now, I gotta tell you because of pricing, because of the ease of use, and I say ease of use, in the beginning it was really difficult for me. I gotta say really, really difficult. I didn't quite understand it. I didn't wrap my brain around it. I'm not real technically oriented. I'm more sales and marketing. Fortunately, my wife is, so she could get in there and make a lot of those changes and do those things I needed. And I could spend that time on marketing my courses. I could spend that time on making more courses. But once you get in there and you learn it, it's gonna be like second nature to you. I tell you, will, don't quit. Just get in there. As a matter of fact, if you get in there and you do have questions in the comments section down here below, click your comments there.

I love the idea of somebody saying, hey, I made some money online. I was able to quit my job. If you can quit your job, if we can give you that freedom to do that, that would be awesome. I would love that. So, Cartre can be one of those things that can help you get there. So don't forget to put those comments below. Don't forget to subscribe also.
