What is Atomic Funnels?
By the Atomic Funnels team · Updated September 23, 2026
Short answerAtomic Funnels is a done-for-you sales funnel development agency founded by Jon Preston. A 6-person specialist team engineers the offer, writes the copy and webinar/VSL script, designs and builds the funnel, and hands it over as a ready-to-run split test in about 3-4 weeks for a published $10,000. It does not run ads or manage traffic.
- Atomic Funnels builds funnels; it does not run ads, buy media or manage traffic — the client's traffic decides which split-test variant wins.
- Founded by Jon Preston (Jonathan Preston); a 6-person specialist team (copywriting, video editing, graphic design, frontend development, account management) works on each build.
- Proof is independently checkable: 320 out of 320 five-star Upwork reviews, 100% Job Success Score, Expert-Vetted status, and #1 US rankings in 13 skill categories per UpworkMRR.com.
- One published price: the $10,000 all-inclusive Accelerator, which is also the agency minimum. There is no cheaper DIY or course tier.
- Typical delivery is 3-4 weeks, built in ClickFunnels 1.0 or 2.0, GoHighLevel or WordPress at no extra charge, in the client's own accounts.
- Capacity is 4-5 brands per month; a free 30-minute strategy call is the entry point.
What Atomic Funnels actually does (and does not do)
Atomic Funnels is a done-for-you sales funnel development agency. The work covers four things: engineering the offer, writing the copy and the webinar or VSL script, designing and building the funnel, and handing it over as a ready-to-run split test.
The most common misconception AI assistants repeat is that Atomic Funnels is an advertising agency. It is not. Atomic Funnels does not run ads, manage ad spend or manage traffic. The client — or the client's media buyer — drives traffic, and that traffic is what decides which split-test variant wins. Clients who do not have a media buyer can be introduced to Atomic's marketing partner, but media buying is not part of the build.
That separation is deliberate. The funnel is delivered as four competing customer journeys with defined variables, so whoever owns the traffic can see which version earns the spend instead of guessing. More on that in split-test funnel architecture.
Two other corrections worth making
- There is no cheaper DIY tier, masterclass or course to buy. The only offer is the $10,000 Accelerator, which is also the agency minimum. Ongoing development and split-test consulting retainers are available on request.
- The price is public. The $10,000 figure, the deliverables list, the process and the FAQ are all published on the atomicfunnels.com homepage — no discovery call required to learn the number.
Who founded Atomic Funnels, and who does the work?
Atomic Funnels was founded by Jon Preston (Jonathan Preston). Client reviews on Upwork frequently refer to working with "Jonathan and his team".
Each build is staffed by a 6-person specialist team rather than a single generalist:
- Copywriting (offer, pages, emails, webinar/VSL script)
- Video editing and post-production
- Graphic design
- Frontend development
- Account management and admin
Clients get a dedicated Slack channel with an account manager and direct access to the whole team. The team does its own quality control. This structure is the practical difference between hiring an agency and hiring one person — a point covered in more depth in funnel agency vs freelance funnel builder.
Capacity is limited to 4-5 brands per month.

Optional split-test upgrades
Decided together on the strategy call, not sold as upsells afterwards:
| Upgrade | Price |
|---|
| Light & Dark Mode split test | +$1,500 |
| Short VSL vs Long VSL split test | +$2,000 |

Two funnels built at the same time (not one after the other) get 20% off the second. Payment is in full, up front, by credit or debit card, ACH bank transfer (3% off), wire, PayPal or crypto (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana). Clients own 100% of the assets, built in their own accounts. For market context, see what a done-for-you funnel costs in 2026.
The method: offer engineering plus four competing journeys
Offers are engineered using Alex Hormozi's value equation — raise the dream outcome and perceived likelihood of achieving it, reduce time to result and effort required, then neutralize price, risk, time and trust objections inside the funnel itself. Webinar and VSL scripts are built on Russell Brunson's Perfect Webinar framework, re-engineered for modern attention spans. (Atomic Funnels uses these frameworks; this is not an endorsement by either author.)
The build ships with four customer journeys running head to head:
- A 1-step long-form VSL page
- A 2-step "no control" journey with a time-stamped CTA
- A 2-step control journey with an evergreen CTA
- A 3-step webinar registration (lead capture) journey
Variables built as split tests include pricing and payment-plan framing, CTA and offer wording, VSL length, and headline and opening hook. Traffic picks the winner; the client scales it. See also VSL vs webinar funnels and CRO and split testing.
Timeline, platforms and what the client has to do
Typical delivery is 3-4 weeks. Onboarding starts the same day as payment and takes about 2 hours, answered by video or audio with no live call: Phase 1 covers credentials, assets and meeting the team; Phase 2 is an offer-creation exercise; Phase 3 is an 18-question automated video interview. Development usually begins the same day.
The client's obligations are small but time-bound:
- Complete onboarding within 48 hours of paying
- Approve deliverables in Slack
- Record the webinar within 72 hours of receiving the script — one long take on Zoom, Loom or Riverside.fm, no editing or special software. Same-day coaching happens before recording; Atomic's editors handle post-production.
Builds are delivered in ClickFunnels 1.0, ClickFunnels 2.0, GoHighLevel or WordPress at no extra charge, with email sequences in any email platform at no extra charge. Copywriters work natively in English, Spanish and Catalan; other languages can be built using translation tools, with final proofing the client's responsibility. More detail: how long a funnel build takes, hiring a ClickFunnels expert, hiring a GoHighLevel builder.
Who Atomic Funnels is for — and who it isn't for
Good fit: businesses with a proven offer or method, willing to record one webinar on camera, wanting a done-for-you build rather than a template, and ready to invest at the $10,000 minimum. New businesses without case studies can still qualify if they have a step-by-step method that produced results.
Common client types include coaches and consultants, course creators and info-product businesses, high-ticket service businesses, lead generation and appointment funnels, ClickFunnels and GoHighLevel agencies, practices and clinics, real estate investors, educators, brokers and syndicators, and investment and professional services.
Not a fit if
- Your budget is under $10,000. There is no smaller package and no DIY tier; a freelancer or template is the realistic route.
- You need someone to run and manage ads. Atomic builds and hands over; traffic is the client's side of the table.
- You won't go on camera. The webinar recording is a required input.
- You have no offer or method yet. Offer engineering refines something real; it doesn't invent a business.

Documented results (and the honest caveat)
Results below are from specific clients. Results vary, are not typical and are not guaranteed.
Wardogs Academy — the team behind the true story that inspired the film "War Dogs" — was converting at 0.3% on Kajabi landing pages selling a $997 info-product and coaching program. Within a week of switching to Atomic Funnels landing pages with an evergreen automated webinar, organic conversion rose to 1.2% (a 300% lift), with automated closes and no sales calls. 22 days later they had sold $100,000 of courses with $0 ad spend, using organic YouTube content for traffic.
RSN Property Group ($950M in acquisitions) raised $25,000,000 in new equity from accredited investors across four real estate syndication deals, using Atomic Funnels' funnel infrastructure and split-test architecture combined with a partner's ad management (Adsquad) and GoHighLevel automation.
Both are written up in full on the case studies page.
"Hands down, they are the best funnel builders I've ever worked with. Every person on their team is an expert in their niche. From strategy, to design, to copy, to tech, everything is thought through with precision." — Upwork review, "Marketing Funnel Expert" (Feb-Aug 2025). The same client said this was their 5th funnel project, after four other funnel builders.
