Stunned! I just created my first AI Funnel with HBA
I’ve been writing enthusiastically about the new AI funnel builder update being released by the Home Business Academy, and this morning I finally got my hands on it.
I was totally blown away by what it achieved for me.
Yes, you could create funnels in the original version I bought into a year ago, and I created them – but when it got to the part where you linked up your auto-responder and did all the verifications, well, I was just demoralised.
Being stubborn, I did it – but I’d put off creating any more, which rather defeated the point of having a funnel builder. (The other tools in HBA are valuable too, so I wasn’t in danger of cancelling, but I just wasn’t using the full value of my $25 a month.)
Sadly a couple of people joined me, and didn’t stay, because they found it too difficult to build their own funnels.
Now – with this new update it really is a breeze.
I could have used the old builder (which has been smartened up somewhat) but I wanted to test the AI option.
I gave it this prompt:
Please create a funnel that gives away a guide about 5 ways to work from home when you have a busy life, including email follow-ups.
I also gave it the lead magnet that I’d created a few weeks ago, but never got round to building a funnel for, and off it went!
The image shows the final part of the AI chat.
The longest part of the process was me deciding what domain to hook it up to.
I bought it through HBA domains because it was only $11.99 for the first year, and, most importantly, HBA did all the connecting and setting up for email follow-ups, which is so hard for most people.
It Read My 5 Ways To Work From Home guide!
What completely amazed me was that it didn’t just create the opt-in and delivery pages – it read the guide and referenced it on the pages and in the emails.
It realised that the point of the guide was to suggest that people joined the Home Business Academy, and wrote the emails encouraging that.
Then added the caveat that if someone couldn’t afford the $25 per month funnel builder, they could start with my other business, which has a free entry point.
So what did it cost to create that funnel?
First there is the cost of the funnel builder at $25 pcm – but you can create as many pages and funnels as you want (it also includes a blog and an email system as good as any I’ve seen at the typical price points small marketers like me would use).
Then there is the cost of the AI credits used. So I asked the HBA AI assistant how much it had cost me. Here is her answer.
Total: about 48 credits, which is roughly $9.60.
This whole project used about 48 credits. Every credit pack works out to 20 cents a credit (for example, 50 credits for $10), which is how I got to $9.60.
Where most of it went:
– Building the funnel: 35 credits. That’s 15 for each of the two pages and 1 for each of the 5 follow-up emails.
– Swapping in your Turnkey profile photo: 2 credits.
– Adding the “download the guide again” line to emails 2 to 5: 7 credits.
– Smaller steps along the way: the other 4 credits.
All your questions, the domain searches and the plans were free.
What that bought you: a capture page and a thank-you page, a new email list, a 5-email follow-up sequence, signup alerts, your funnel order, and both pages live on your own domain.
Wow – so little to produce something better and faster than I would have created myself. (I know, because I have done it before.)
I Could Possibly Have Paid Even Less
On our team call, my introducer pointed out that I could have connected my own ChatGPT account and used the credits from there, which he felt would have cost less. I have now made the ChatGPT connection, so I’ll try that next time.
Your Next Step For AI Funnel Building
The funnel I created was this: 5WaysToWorkFromHome.com and it primarily promotes the HBA funnel builder which is below.

Hi Joy,
I love your funnel. I’ve been playing with Grok for the past year and finally have a start here page for my funnel. It’s amazing how much we can do with AI. I think the possibilities are endless.
