Launch a business this weekend — on the free plan.

You don't need $300/month in software to launch. This guide builds a complete, revenue-ready business — landing page, email capture, product and checkout — using only Systeme.io's free plan. Time required: one afternoon.

Step 1 — Create the free account

Create your Systeme.io account (no card needed). You get 2,000 contacts, 3 funnels, 1 course, 1 blog and unlimited emails — free forever.

Step 2 — Pick your funnel template

Go to Funnels → Create, choose the goal "Sell" (or "Build audience" if you're pre-product) and pick a template. Don't overthink the design — speed beats polish at this stage.

Step 3 — Write the landing page in 30 minutes

• Headline: the outcome your buyer wants, in their words
• 3 bullets: what's inside, each tied to a pain
• 1 CTA: one button, one action, repeated down the page
• Proof: a testimonial, a result, or your story if you have neither

Step 4 — Connect payments

Settings → Payment gateways → connect Stripe or PayPal. Systeme.io charges 0% platform fees — you keep everything minus processor fees.

Step 5 — Set the email machine

Create a welcome sequence (3–5 emails) under Emails → Campaigns: deliver the thing, tell your story, make one offer. Automation rule: form subscribes → enroll in campaign.

Step 6 — Launch ugly, then iterate

Publish, share in 3 places where your audience already hangs out, and watch the funnel stats inside Systeme.io. Fix the biggest leak first: no clicks = headline problem; clicks but no signups = offer problem; signups but no sales = email problem.
