If you are ready to get into the groove of building a website, Groove funnels is a fantastic platform that provides both web building and sales capabilities. If you don't know how to code or don't want to wait around for coding, use the page builder to put together a website for your business. 

You won't have to pay a lot of money for a monthly subscription or an annual fee. Currently, a special one-time fee will grant access to all of the Groovy elements of this platform. Not only will you be able to use the page builder to create a website, you can also use this platform to increase sales, collect new leads, and to gain insight on how to engage your visitors.

According to the website, the platform has gained 550,000 new users this year alone. When you sign up for an account at Groove.cm, you will have access to 18 powerful apps. Let's look more in depth at all the features that come with this advanced web builder.

Groove Features

The Groove platform covers a lot of ground compared to other platforms and apps. Access to GrooveFunnels allows you to start, plan, launch, and grow not only a website but a full-fledged online business.

Here is an overview of most of the apps that come with purchase.

Groove Funnels

If you've ever heard of ClickFunnels, an app that attracts and educates new users about site products, know that you can now use GrooveFunnels as a replacement. In other words, you can create an automated “sales funnel” to help streamline the buying process in your e-commerce company.

GroovePages

Page is the website builder touted as a replacement for user-friendly services such as Wix or Squarespace. No web coding is required as this type of web building involves using pre-built templates and drag-n-drop elements.

The number of pages that you can build is unlimited. You can build upsell pages, landing pages, or standard web pages. The easy web builder comes with templates that are made for sales conversion.

GrooveSell

This app is the shopping cart for your eCommerce site.

Get A Groovy Education

Learning about the Groove platform can be very overwhelming, regardless of how tech-savvy you are.  As you can see, when you sign up, you have access to all 18 diverse and powerful apps.  Some may be easier to grasp than others. Some apps you may already be familiar with, such as blogging or page building. However, setting up a membership site or using web Analytics may go over some people's heads. Regardless of where you are at in terms of the learning curve of these apps, the platform provides additional training for everyone.

Users have access to a huge eLearning Library. The GrooveDigital Academy provides tons of information about how to generate revenue, get more traffic for your website, and to find leads.

If you don't want to use the online Academy as your resource, utilize the active Facebook community that has over 126,018 members to date.

Groove is so serious about users becoming as comfortable as possible with the platform, they also offer live training multiple times a week. So there is no need to allow the abundance of information to overwhelm you. There are many resources for you to increase your knowledge about the power of the platform. 

Pricing Structure

New users can sign up for all these services for free - including the online academy. Free membership is also Free-For-Life ( well for now).

After further digging, I found out that free membership does have some limitations. You still have access to all the apps. However, you will have to eventually upgrade to a paid membership to access the full suite.  Apparently, this free option will eventually end, so now would be a good time to test it out for free. Soon, basic memberships will be available for $99 a month.

If you are currently ready to move on from the free basic membership, you can pay $1397.00  for a lifetime platinum membership. This lifetime option will also end in the near future. It will eventually change to a monthly fee of $299.

Users always have access to their training academy, live training, and Facebook groups regardless of membership level.

Pros and Cons of GrooveFunnels

Pros

Currently, there is a free membership that provides access to all of the apps. 

The platform offers free intensive training and support.  Unlike other webtools, the amount of support that you get is not contingent upon your membership plan. You have access to the Online Academy and live training whether you have a free membership or a Platinum one.

An active Facebook group provides more informal training and the ability to ask questions of other users.

You can easily build a website with no coding skills.  Once you are done building your website, you have access to almost 20 other tools that will help you enhance, manage, and grow your web business. The platform allows you to build different types of websites based on the business that you have.

The Groove platform successfully combines several powerful tools which save users tens of thousands of dollars a year. You have the opportunity to become familiar with all aspects of a website.

Cons

Having free access to so many web apps is almost unheard of. This unbelievable deal will end soon, but it is not obvious on the main website. The Groove website emphasizes a free sign up that does not require a credit card. However, I had to do a lot of digging to find out about the more comprehensive paid plan. This information should also be on the Groove.cm website. 

There is a ton of information available on the website. The main website itself can be quite overwhelming with so much info. While tons of information is not a bad thing, the platform owners may want to organize the website a little better. They should also add information about the upcoming price change as it is nowhere to be found. 

Who Is It For?

One look at this platform and all the service that it offers, it is hard to say who it may not be for. At first glance, it could most likely cater to almost everyone, such as affiliate managers, online coaches, eCommerce store owners, marketing agencies, and course creators.

With the increasing popularity of remote learning, teachers or anyone else who wants to create a business by sharing their knowledge should certainly consider this platform. Not only can a teacher or other content provider not have to worry about coding, but the scheduling and membership app make it very easy to build a teaching website. Once courses have been added to the website, simply use the email marketing tool to promote it as you wish.

If you provide any type of live service such as live coaching, conferences, or creative content that you desire patron-like support for, this looks like a great platform to set up your business. The ability to have both free and paid membership can be useful for these types of businesses.

The one type of business that may not find Groove useful is web blogging. While web analytics and the ability to connect with customers is certainly useful for blogging, a web blogger may not need all of these other apps at their disposal. For people who just want to write, connect with an audience, and get some affiliate links, paying over $1,300 for membership may not be worth it. 

Final Thoughts About GrooveFunnels and Other Apps

I must say the groove platform is a lot to take in. Frankly, I find this platform to be very impressive as it provides services for just about every need that I can think of on a website.

 As someone with an instructional technology background, I am always impressed by companies that provide training and resources for users on a front or back end of a tool. Groove provides three options for free.

At this time, it would be a good opportunity for the creators to rename their Free-For-Life membership, as it will no longer be free for life in the near future. I appreciate all the info that they try to stick on to their main website but they are missing one particular important bit - the paid price option.  Since the paid membership is a necessity to unlock the full Suite of their tools, I simply don't understand why that information is not obvious on the website. 

When one adds up the amount of money that is saved by using Groove as opposed to all those other separate apps, it's hard not to be impressed. Running a web business can add up. 

A price point of $1397.00 is a huge bargain for all the services listed. While that one-time lifetime membership will not last, it is still a good deal. With an upcoming $299 monthly membership, users will end up paying $3588 a year. This still results in huge savings and increased profits that would not be possible using separate apps.
