Have you heard of Systeme.io?

If you’re just starting an online business it’s something you should definitely take a serious look at.

This article will explain everything you need to know about this great platform and why it’s got to be one of the most exciting tools available to you for ensuring your success (you can probably tell already, I love it)!

Let’s face it, starting an online business can be daunting at the best of times.

You need all kinds of digital tools from website builders, email capture pages, landing page builders, content management… no end of things and often you have to search far and wide all over the net just to find what you’re looking for.

Not only that but once you find these tools, they can be extremely expensive and beyond your budget, especially when just starting out!

Luckily there’s an amazing software package called Systeme.io which includes all the tools you need in one place and the most exciting thing is…

 … you can try it out completely free of charge… forever!

Now when I first heard of System.io, because it was so powerful I assumed it was going to cost an arm and a leg but it didn’t take me long to find out I was wrong!

In fact it’s one of the best value programmes I’ve ever seen for digital marketers and with a powerful free version available, it’s pretty much unbeatable!

Here’s my review and why I love it.

What is Systeme.io?

In a nutshell it’s a complete business platform that has everything you need to develop and run an online business all from a single dashboard.

It’s founder, a French computer whizz named Aurelien Amacker developed it because he was fed up with jumping all over the place to find the tools he needed when working for his clients.

Since he launched Systeme.io in 2010 the platform has just got bigger and better and is now one of the leading players in the online business management field.

It’s also one of the cheapest (after all, you can’t get cheaper than free)!

So, is Systeme good value?

Absolutely, in fact I’d say it’s incredible value!

The thing is, anyone starting an online business will face all kinds of hurdles, let alone have a huge budget to throw at understanding all the tools needed to be successful.

Even those with some technical knowledge can be overwhelmed with everything they have to learn and very often the result is excess cash being spent on tools they don’t need and startup costs just running away.

Which is why I love Systeme.io!

Firstly there’s a starter plan that you can run your entire initial campaign on…

… completely free of charge!

It’s amazing.

And no I’m not talking about a heavily reduced version of the software where you just have to keep paying extra for more functionality as and when you need it.

This is a full working version for a single business that is so powerful that you may not ever need anything more.

Of course there are paid plans if your requirements change and your business grows but even these are way better value than the competitors!

More on this in a bit.

Who’s Systeme.io for?

Basically anyone who wants to run a successful online business.

Because it’s all in one place, it just makes everything so much easier, more efficient and saves so much time, money and general faffing about.

In other words, whether you’re a total beginner, an intermediate blogger or an experienced entrepreneur, it’s perfect if you offer anything over the internet that includes any or all of the following…

• Sales funnels
• Email marketing
• Website building
• ECommerce
• Your own custom affiliate programme
• Online courses
• Evergreen webinars
• Blogging
• Split testing
• Membership sites
• Business automation
• … and so much more!

Try Systeme.io for FREE!

Bottom line, this incredibly powerful software just takes away the headache!

When you have to source all these elements from all over the place it makes it hard work but by bringing it all together ‘under one roof’, the whole process not only becomes enjoyable, but also incredibly easy!

Systeme.io Functionality

Here’s a quick overview of what’s available both on the paid-for plan and the free version as well.

#1 Sales Funnels

Very often new marketers don’t even know what a sales funnel is (if that’s you, I’ve written an article on it which you can view here).

However for now let’s talk about the funnels from Systeme.io.

In the past building a sales funnel was hard and very often expensive, requiring a lot of skill and expertise.

But now, with Systeme.io that’s not the case, in fact it’s an absolute doddle.

If I’m honest this is probably the most exciting part of the whole thing because what used to take so much time, effort and money…

… can now literally be done in a matter of minutes and cost absolutely nothing!

This is because Systeme comes with an extremely simple editor that you can use with an extensive library of high-quality, fully customisable templates, all selectable at the click of your mouse.

Because they’re so good, it enables you to produce professional-looking sales pages, landing pages, thank you pages, email capture pages that you can be really proud of… and all without having any technical ability.

You can also integrate email lists, payment systems, and membership sites with hardly any effort and automate the lot making it so much easier to market and sell your stuff without having to do any major thinking.

Even with the free version!

#2 Email Marketing

Email Marketing still plays a huge role in the success of any online business and system.io makes this super easy.

Again, because the email tools are designed and built in it allows you to send targeted messages and increase your subscribers without any technical knowledge or know-how.

It also helps with follow-up emails because of an extremely powerful autoresponder.

Essentially you can…

• Send unlimited emails to all of your subscribers or contacts
• Set up fully automated messaging sequences and follow ups
• Use in-depth statistics to keep track of your email campaigns
• Categorise your customers into various groups for targeted message

Now in order to capture people’s email addresses you need a special type of landing page which is very often referred to as a squeeze page

Naturally System.io has a large library of squeeze page templates which again are fully customisable using the built in editor, making setting up a professional grade email campaign a walk in the park.

And how about this?

Even with the free package you can have up to 2000 contacts who you can target with unlimited emails!

Of course, when your needs grow or if you need to increase the number of contacts it’s easy to upgrade your plan and pay for just a little more functionality (which is still significantly less than some of Systeme’s competitors).

#3 Website Builder

Another great feature of system.io is the easy-to-use website builder.

It’s essentially what you use to build a funnel but once you get used to it, you can easily set up a website in under 10 minutes using ready-made professional quality templates which are fully customisable.

All you need to do is select your template from the library and then create professional looking pages with the included user-friendly drag-and-drop wysiwyg editor (what you see is what you get).

You can also use this tool to easily integrate your email capture, payment systems, online courses or even create a blog… it’s all here, everything you need to deliver first-class content to your audience, even if you’ve never built anything like this before!

#4 e-Commerce facility

If you’ve ever tried to set up an online store before and integrate a fully operational ecommerce system, you’ll know that it comes with all kinds of issues.

Well regardless of what you’re selling, whether it be digital products, physical products, services or any other kind of thing, Systeme.io has a fully functional e-commerce platform built in and because everything’s in one place, it’s easy to create a superb online store.

It’s even got ready made facilities to take Paypal and Strike payments already included so you can activate everything with just a few clicks and start taking money!

#5 Affiliate Programme

This is another extremely powerful feature to improve your business.

System.io enables you to start your own affiliate program with all the management needed so you can generate even more sales.

The software makes tracking your affiliates easy and takes away the complexity of managing commissions and payouts and I know I keep banging on about it but because everything is done in one place it makes it all so easy.

You can even publish your offers on Systeme’s dedicated marketplace for thousands to see, which is another way you can stand out from the crowd, increase traffic and get more sales to your website.

#6 Online Courses

Yep you can even do these too!

Again with all the tools available to you in one place and an easy to use editor, you can quickly and easily launch an online course without having to find all the technical stuff from elsewhere.

Of course you also have the facility to take money on the platform as well so you can easily integrate your course access with payments from your sales funnels and websites.

#7 Webinars

Without doubt, webinars are a highly effective modern way to generate leads, build email lists and make further sales so having the right software to do this is really important.

Well if you decide to upgrade to the Webinar Plan or above, System.io has everything you need to produce high quality webinars without needing any technical skills.

Even if you’ve never done anything like it before, being able to offer a decent webinar is something many online marketers will want to do at some point so having this facility in your arsenal is another plus!

However, the bad news is, webinars are one of the few things that aren’t available with either the free package or the next grade up, the Startup package.

If this is something you want, you will need to upgrade to the ‘Webinar’ package which at $47 a month offers loads of extra power and is still considerably cheaper than all the competitors.

#8 Blogging 

Let’s not forget blogging.

Nowadays a Blog can be a fantastic tool to help you improve sales in all kinds of different ways, especially by getting organic traffic flowing to your website.

Well, the user interface of System.io makes it easy to launch a great-looking blog because of the many professional templates that are available.

Keeping it updated is also an absolute doddle and even if your goal is not to actually sell anything directly, the blogging platform is extremely powerful which all helps make your content highly visible.

#9 Membership Sites

Imagine having a membership site where you receive regular recurring payments.

It’d be exciting wouldn’t it?

Well because of the way Systeme works it’s also possible to set up any website in such a way that makes this possible.

There’s even professional design templates you can take advantage of as well which can easily be customised using simple drag-and-drop elements that can be included on any pages you need.

Again it’s all very user-friendly and intuitive, just like everything else!

#10 Business Automation

The holy grail for any business owner has got to be to build passive income, agreed?

Obviously the best way to do that is to have as much of the business as possible running on autopilot.

Well, you’ve guessed it… Systeme.io gives you a massive boost when it comes to automation.

Whether you want to capture leads automatically so they’re integrated with the funnels or emails or you want to automate repetitive email sequences for products and courses, whatever you want to do, it’s all here.

In other words, you can pretty much automate any aspect of your website and customise it to how you want it to perform.

The whole thing is just extremely powerful which is why I love it!

Let’s talk pricing!

I’ve obviously made no secret of the fact that I think Systeme.io is brilliant and as you can see from the following screenshot, what you get even with the Free plan is mind blowing.

Try system.io for FREE!

In fact, apart from the facility to offer webinars, get 1 on 1 coaching and the chance to have any other website you may have, migrated to Systeme, you can literally try out every other aspect of the system without paying a single penny!

You don’t even need a credit or debit card to sign up!

I don’t know about you but I think that’s more than fair, after all, Systeme is there to make money as well but they’re giving outstanding value to anyone who wants to get started.

Of course as your business grows the chances are you may well want to unlock more power from the software.

It’s simply a case of switching over to one of the paid for plans and Bob’s your uncle, you’re on your way!

Systeme.io has 4 plans to choose from – Free, Startup, Webinar and Unlimited.

You can pay monthly for each of the the 3 upgraded plans but you also have the option to pay for 12 months upfront which saves around 30%!

Free Plan – $0/month

The key features of the Free plan to my mind, apart from everything else you get are the inclusion of 3 sales funnels and the facility to send unlimited emails to up to 2000 contacts.

When starting out this should be more than enough and once you’ve built your list to over 2000 contacts and need more funnels, the next plan up will seem like peanuts!

Startup – $27/month (or $228 a year giving an annual saving of $96)

With this plan you can send unlimited emails to up to 5000 contacts but now up to 10 sales funnels are included. There’s more of all the other features as well so once you’re ready to scale your business this is where you’d probably go next.

Webinar – $47/month (or $396 a year giving an annual saving of $168)

10,000 contacts, unlimited emails and up to 50 sales funnels, all for under $50 a month! On top of that, you get so much more of all the other features as well as the facility to offer up to 10 webinars! Let’s face it very few people will ever need any more than this package!

Unlimited – $97/month (or $828 a year giving an annual saving of $336)

Obviously this plan is for serious players and big hitters!

With the Unlimited package that’s exactly what you get, everything unlimited and as an added extra you also get a 1-on-1 ‘kickstart’ coaching session which is effectively a personal training on how to get the best out of the system and the facility for any other site you might have to be migrated over to Systeme for no further charge.

So what else is there?

Well once you sign up for Systeme.io on top of all the features listed above you also get instant access to an extensive knowledge base, online training and all the help and support you need.

Knowledge Base

Here you can find lots of articles on every aspect of using the system, from email integration all the way through to setting up Paypal!

Each of these articles have been carefully written to guide you, step-by-step when setting everything up so you never have to wonder what to do next.

Video Training

Of course if you prefer to learn visually, there’s a free online course that consists of a series of highly informative video tutorials.

Here are the titles of each:

• Overview of our features
• How to Manage Your Contacts
• How to Build a Sales Funnel
• How to Build a Lead Generating Funnel
• How to Build a Funnel to Sell Products
• How to Send and Manage Your Emails
• How to Automate Your Business
• How to Create Membership Sites

Great Customer Support

In the highly unlikely event you can’t find any information you’re looking for in the knowledge base or the online course there’s also an excellent support team who are available 7 days a week to help you if you get stuck.

Is Systeme.io the same as ClickFunnels?

You may have heard of the other main player in the funnel building field which is Clickfunnels.

While Clickfunnels is without doubt an extremely powerful programme for building highly effective sales funnels in the same way you can with Systeme.io, the main difference between the two is quite simply cost.

• ClickFunnels offer a 14 day free trial – Systeme offers a free trial forever!
• The most basic Clickfunnel plan is $97/month whereas with Systeme.io it’s $27/month!
• Top level Clickfunnel package is $297 as opposed to $97 for the top plan at Systeme!

Basically it’s a no brainer.

Systeme.io offers so much better value for money especially for people just starting out but even more experienced entrepreneurs would benefit from paying considerably less!

And so to conclude

I think I’ve made it clear throughout this review that I think Systeme.io is absolutely brilliant!

So much power for so little money, let alone free, forever, is quite simply staggering.

When you think about it, it makes perfect sense to be able to build a successful online business with tools that are all accessible from one dashboard so why would you do anything else?

Just to recap, Systeme.io is a highly intuitive user-friendly platform that makes it easy to set up complete sales and marketing campaigns without the headache and expense that you may have had in the past.

You can also run highly effective email campaigns, set up your own affiliate programme, create membership sites, host webinars and much, much more.

Obviously this makes it especially useful for beginners with absolutely no experience who can now set up professional looking sales pages, funnels and everything that goes with them with minimal effort or expense but it can just as easily be extremely valuable to more experienced marketers or business owners.
