Behind the Scenes of a Brand-New Funnel

Behind the Scenes of a Brand-New Funnel

Author: Polly Lavarello June 12, 2026 Duration: 26:11

In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of a brand new mini offer funnel that became profitable straight out of the gate. Yes, the data is early, and yes, that is exactly why I wanted to talk about it now, because this is the bit most people skip over when they share their shiny “look what worked” stories.

I’m sharing what I’m tracking, what I’m not touching yet, and why testing is such a huge part of building funnels that actually work.

From ad angles and opt-in pages to lead quality, checkout tweaks and keeping ego out of the driver’s seat, this is a very real look at how I make decisions when a funnel is still finding its feet.

Highlights:

(01:35) - Why funnels need traffic, not endless Instagram obedience

(04:25) - Marketing is a relationship, not a one-and-done task

(07:41) - The mistake business owners make when something does not instantly convert

(11:31) - What the first five days of ad data actually revealed

(14:59) - Why the ADHD angle is winning, but I’m not niching down there

(21:57) - How I decide where the ad budget goes next
