If you're looking for insight on how to make money online, this article will give you steps you can take to set the stage for success.
Do you ever feel like your site only brings in revenue on the days you’re actively pushing it? What if your site could convert every day—without you needing to be there in launch mode?
It can... when you reduce the number of product launches for new products and you increase or start building funnels that perform, generating sales while you sleep, work, or sip your morning coffee. It's about creating and promoting more content and products that are evergreen.
What Is Evergreen Content?
Evergreen content and products are items that are not tied to a specific season, date or event. This kind of content addresses ongoing needs, struggles, or the goals your ideal customer has on a consistent basis.
Evergreen content is perfect for sales funnels, drip email sequences, and lead magnets because you can set them up once, and they’ll continue working without constant reinvention.
For example: A guide on “How to Start an Email List” is evergreen, because people always need it.
On the flip side, a guide on “Best Holiday Marketing Tips for 2024” is not evergreen—because it expires.
That’s the beauty of an evergreen sales funnel. It’s a strategic, automated path that allows you to make money online, but nurturing prospects, turning them into paying customers—24/7—so you can step out from behind the wheel and build toward true freedom.
What Your Evergreen Funnel Should Include
We get that your plate is full and you don't have a lot of free time to come up with new content.
The good news is that you don't need to create new content. You can repurpose content that's already in your product or content list, package it up and turn it into an evergreen funnel.
- A high-value, evergreen product: Think workshop replay, template, mini-course—something always relevant.
- A laser-focused lead magnet: Skip the 50-page e-guide—give them a quick-win that aligns with the bigger offer.
- A distraction-free landing page: One goal, one action, zero noise.
- A trust-building email sequence (5–7 messages): Warming prospects gently toward your offer.
- A results-oriented sales page: Clear benefits, urgency, and proof they can’t resist.
- Evergreen urgency: Real, personalized countdown timers that drive action—not doubt.
- Smooth checkout + smart upsells: Make purchasing easy, then offer an add-on while momentum’s high.
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
An evergreen funnel is an automated sales system that runs continuously in the background.
It’s designed to guide new leads through a strategic journey — from opt-in to offer — without needing manual effort, live launches, or event-based selling.
The funnel works 24/7, but that doesn’t mean it’s “set and forget.” You’ll still need to check in, optimize, and improve over time to keep results strong.
Evergreen funnels, generate predictable revenue, they free up your time and reduce launch burnout, and they scale more easily with less hands-on effort.
Launches build excitement and urgency, help test new offers and positioning, and they're great for collecting testimonials or feedback
The moral of the story? Use live launches to validate your offer, then switch to evergreen to scale it.
- Email marketing (e.g. aWeber, ConvertKit, or ActiveCampaign)
- Landing page + sales page builder (e.g. Thrive Architect or Elementor) Thrive Architect is the tool we use here at Making It Remotely.
- Urgency system (e.g. Thrive Ultimatum for real deadline timers) We Use Thrive Ultimatum too!
- Checkout and payment (e.g. Stripe, WooCommerce, PayPal)
- Analytics + behavior tracking (e.g. Google Analytics, Hotjar)
A funnel is only as strong as its weakest link — so test often, and fix what’s not working.
Realistically speaking, most funnels don’t “take off” overnight. Expect a gradual start — maybe a few sales trickling in, providing you with data you can use to grow over time.
That’s normal. The power of evergreen is in the compounding effect. As your traffic grows and your funnel improves, results will snowball.
Bonus Tips for Funnel Success
- Trigger-based emails—when users take certain actions, send smart, behavior based follow-ups.
- Tripwire offers—a low-cost product right after sign-up to filter and convert early.
- Quiz-based segmentation—tailor emails based on responses for a personalized experience.
- Rotating bonuses—refresh urgency and value so evergreen doesn’t feel stale.
Why Evergreen Isn’t Set-It-and-Forget
Your funnel may run on autopilot, but real performance comes from promotion (using the tips below) and intentional optimization:
- You're building more predictable revenue.
- You're freeing up your time and energy.
- You're setting up a scalable, high-value business that can grow (and sell) without burnout.
But you can’t walk away. You nurture, test, refine, and let the data guide you—and that’s what keeps results compounding.
