The Funnel Shortcut Challenge: 3 Days vs 3 Weeks
A few weeks ago, I got fed up.
I had just spent three solid weeks building a new sales funnel. From content creation to page setup to automation, it drained my energy and time.
So I decided to run an experiment:
What if I could build the same type of funnel in just three days using nothing but PLR content?
And the truth I uncovered shocked me.
Week 1–3: The “Traditional” Funnel Build
Let’s start with what I’ve always done.
I:
- Created a digital product from scratch
- Recorded 7 video modules
- Designed all graphics
- Built opt-in, tripwire, upsell pages
- Wrote 7 emails
- Set up integrations and sequences
It worked. But it took forever. And I was exhausted.
Then came the shortcut.
The 3-Day Shortcut with PLR
Instead of reinventing the wheel, I used the Video Courses Collection to grab a course already designed for marketers.
Here’s how it went:
Day 1:
- Picked a course from the collection
- Edited the slide deck and added a checklist lead magnet
- Rebranded everything with my brand
Day 2:
- Set up GetResponse funnel pages
- Recorded a short welcome video
- Built a quick tripwire checkout
Day 3:
- Uploaded files
- Launched to my email list
- Posted teaser content on social media
💥 In just 3 days, I had a fully functioning, branded funnel online and collecting leads.
The Results: Time Isn’t the Only Win
You’d think the longer funnel would convert better, right?
Here’s the shocking part:
| Metric | 3-Week Funnel | 3-Day Funnel |
|---|---|---|
| Leads Collected | 82 | 67 |
| Tripwire Sales | 14 | 11 |
| Total Revenue | $483 | $314 |
| Time Invested | 60+ hours | 12 hours |
Was it slightly less profit? Yes.
Was it 5X less effort? Also yes.
And here’s where it got interesting…
Why the Shortcut Funnel Still Worked
It wasn’t about the depth of content. It was about:
- The offer framing
- The lead magnet hook
- A polished, branded appearance
- A sense of urgency (72-Hour Launch Challenge)
- A simple, clean layout with CTA
Plus, I used a strategic affiliate product —
➡️ Tube Mastery & Monetization 3.0 — as an upsell that complimented the funnel perfectly.
The PLR version looked and felt just as professional as the one I spent weeks on.
The Power of Leverage
I’ve always believed in working smarter.
Now I have proof that smart, rebranded PLR content paired with great funnel strategy is all you need to start selling online.
The Video Courses Collection was the launchpad.
You get:
- 700+ courses with rebrand rights
- High-converting topics like email, funnels, affiliate marketing
- Lead magnets, slide decks, and editable assets
- Full licensing freedom to sell or bundle
Final Thoughts: It’s Not Cheating — It’s Strategic
This test wasn’t about shortcuts for the sake of laziness.
It was about validating a launch system. Fast.
And it proved that with the right PLR tools, you can go from idea to income in days — not weeks.
