VidSell Flows are SEO optimized, multi-step sequences that can have multiple CTA's, different CTA types for different goals, and more to help you convert and sell with video. Here is what to expect when building out your flow steps:
Adding Steps
Adding steps to your Flow is simple. If you're using a Flow Template, existing steps already loaded in your Flow appear in the "Steps" area on the right side menu of the Flow Editor.
From here you can also click the "New Step" button to add a new step to your flow.
Step Types
There are 6 available step types based upon you can choose from to add to your Flows, based upon available types of CTA's for each step.
No Call To Action (None Step Type)
Adding a step with no CTA allows you to share information with your audience that does not require immediate action, or share links without using the default CTA bar at the bottom of your page, and much more. A common example of a Flow with no CTA is a Link-In-Bio Flow where no primary CTA is needed, besides the on-page linking options.
Share a Link (Link Step Type)
The link step type allows you to link your audience to other sites, and can be useful for things like product launch announcements, webinar announcements, or other similar events where a link is the main CTA.
Gather Leads (Opt-In Step Type)
Opt-in steps allow you to create valuable offers and gather leads through your Flows. Examples of opt-in steps may include things like Newsletter signups, free course signups, digital download opt-in's and more.
Sell Products (Purchase Step Type)
The purchase step type in VidSell provides you with an expansive online cart solution while making it simple to sell your products online. Common examples of purchase flows include physical product sales (micro e-commerce) like product highlights, digital products like online courses, and online community subscription sales - both of which can be created directly within VidSell's Engage area.

Upsell Customers (Upsell Step Type)
The upsell step type allows you to create one-click upsells for your Flows using the information your customers have already entered in a purchase step. Common examples of one-click upsells include related products or services such as consultation calls, online courses, or upgrades to a main product like expanded software account limits.
Say Thank You (Thank You Step Type)
The thank you step creates an automatically generated receipt of your customers' purchases and includes all available products you've included in your flow whether it be your main product, bump offers, or one-click upsells.
The thank you step also includes an option for your customers to download a copy of their receipt as well as an additional area for you to include digital file downloads. This can be useful for including digital products your customers purchased like downloadable guides, or for PDF's, further instructions, or more.

The "View Step" button displays the live URL for your step to see in real time.
Note: Flow content is saved automatically in the Flow Editor. Any changes made are viewable immediately on your live Flow pages when you choose to view your steps.
