FusionHQ Review
Today I'm going to let you know all about one of the coolest pieces of software I have ever seen for managing and building an online business, called FusionHQ. It's perfect for non-techies and seasoned marketers because it requires no coding at all and is really simple to use.
The biggest challenge that typically confronts would-be marketers is the technical hurdle that must be successfully jumped even before an idea can even begin to be turned into something tangiable.
FusionHQ changes all that because it eliminates the need for programmers and designers (which is why I'm so excited about it). You can now do it yourself or get outsourced staff to do it – it's really that easy (I'll explain in more detail shortly).
I've got nothing against being able to roll up my sleeves and coding manually, but the time-saver that FusionHQ provides is incredible.
For the first time ever, I can actually *think* about where I'm going, and what I want to achieve, instead of getting bogged down in technical blind alleys.
So What is FusionHQ?
FusionHQ is a multi tool platform that allows anyone (even a non-techie) to build an unlimited amount of professional, fully customizable sales funnels, membership sites and affiliate programs without a single line of code.
No HTML, no PHP, not even FTP – it's all automated.
(BUT – and this is the coolest thing, you can *still* do all the tech-head stuff if you have those sort of skills).
Building Websites
FusionHQ uses drag and drop technology which is very intuitive. You can literally drag an optin form onto the page (fully coded). The same goes for videos, buy now buttons, images and much more. This is awesome especially since most other people only allow you to use a WYSIWYG text editor.
I love FusionHQ's split-testing feature because it's very simple to do: I can set up a split test in 20 seconds – all without a single line of code, and then analyse which page converts better…all within the FusionHQ interface.
When it comes to building your site, there are plenty of professional templates to choose from and you can create your own, or modify the existing range.
You can then build out your sales funnel by adding pages to the drag and drop process map. This is where you plan out your upsells, downsells, exit popups, etc. FusionHQ codes it all together automatically. Perfect for non-techies and advanced marketers.
My favourite part of FusionHQ is the membership site builder. It makes it so simple to build an entire membership site in no time at all.
FusionHQ allows you to manage your members, give unlimited membership levels, and build your membership site using the drag and drop technology (again no coding at all).
There are a lot of membership scripts out there that aren't real membership sites.
FusionHQ membership sites…
* Give everyone a unique username and password
* Only allow one person to login at once per username (preventing people from sharing login details)
* Drip feeds content (great for making money with membership sites)
* If someone refunds they will actually lose access to the membership (unlike many other membership scripts out there)
Hosted on Your own Server:
Once you're happy with your site, FusionHQ allows you to upload your website to your own hosting or FusionHQ's cloud Hosting. With the FusionHQ cloud hosting you don't even need to worry about changing DNS settings – it's nice for non-techies who don't know how to do that kind of thing.
Note: FusionHQ is not one of those platforms that force you to upload your website on THEIR server. Platforms that do this usually take your website should you decide to move on to something else (it doesn't make good business sense).
FusionHQ isn't like that, you can upload your files to your own hosting and you can even export your site to a zip file if needed. Giving you all the control. As a retired Linux geek, that's music to my ears 🙂
Payment Gateways
If you intend to sell anything via your website, you're going to need a way to process payments.
Currently FusionHQ easily integrates with Clickbank, Paypal, 1shoppingcart, 2checkout and Authorize.net (with more on the way in future upgrades).
Autoresponders
FusionHQ has it's own in-house autoresponder, making it more of a fully integrated system for online business owners.
Obviously you don't have to use it if you don't want to. You can continue using your own autoresponder. For some of my existing campaigns, I've carried on using Aweber, but for my main membership website, Web Video Explosion, it made much more sense to use the built-in autoresponder, as it allows for easy integration with the Affiliate setup.
FusionHQ integrates with all the other popular autoresponders (as well as Aweber), Getresponse and iContact.
Go2webinar integration
Webinars are a great way to make money provided you have something to sell. Well FusionHQ allows you to set up custom squeeze pages that register people to multiple webinars AND a list simultaneously from one form.
This is very powerful and will help you get more people on your webinars, which means more money. It's also a great way to build your list because they sign up for the webinar(s) and your list at the same time – all from one form.
When I first started using FusionHQ, I didn't spot this feature, and only discovered after we ran our first webinar for Web Video Explosion that it was a pretty much 1-click process.
Affiliate Program
You can build an affiliate program without any coding. Fill out your settings, create your tools and you're ready to recruit affiliates. The affiliate software has double layers of protection – IP tracking AND cookie tracking – which ensures accurate stats for affiliates.
FusionHQ's affiliate software enables you to manage affiliates, create custom commissions, custom tools for specific affiliates, etc.
It can also be used to integrate with Clickbank much in the same way as EasyClickMate.
Conclusion
FusionHQ is an impressive multi tool platform that saves a ton of time and money. If you're serious about building an online business then this is a platform that I'd highly recommend, and I'm using it as the platform of choice for delivering my forthcomging Web Video Explosion Training Program.
I love its drag and drop simplicity, while being fully customizable and professional at the same time. It's an all-in-one business platform that integrates with popular softwares without a single line of code.
I didn't think software like this would be possible (especially doing all this without a single line of code) – but I'm happy to say I've been proved wrong. There are a few platforms on the market though FusionHQ is definitely way a head of the game.
FusionHQ have a complete team behind them and have big plans for the future. As a member of FusionHQ you get all future updates for free – which is great.
FusionHQ has now made the technical side of managing and building an online business simple and I applaud them for that. This is definitely something that is now an essential core part of my business.
No need to waste thousands of dollar on programmers – not to mention all the time it takes trying to explain what you want.
If you're a non-techie, this is dream come true – so many people get stuck on the technical stuff (or, in my case, badly side-tracked!!)).
Now you can focus more on the marketing and getting the money coming in.
