And so I think I did six or seven hours of Q&A rapid fire, two minutes at a time, and we busted through them. And we covered a lot in a lot. In fact, towards the end, we had

30 or 40 people who had the ability to ask questions, like, I got so much value from this. I don't even want to ask a question anymore. I don't even know. I figured it all out. So that's what today's episode is going to be. It's going to be a lot of fun. And for any of you guys who want to come to the next selling online event, if you missed the very first one, I figured it all out. So that's what today's episode is going to be.

We're actually going live next week and I'm doing it live again. I'm excited. I had so much fun last month doing it, I decided to go live.

So September 23rd through the 27th, the event's happening. Basically all day, 24th, 25th, 26th, we're going deep into it. And we're talking about Selling Online, how to do subconscious selling to reprogram people's false beliefs so they'll actually buy your products. But even more importantly, how to get them to actually fulfill on the things you're selling them and a whole bunch of other cool things. So it's going to be amazing.

So appreciate you all. Hope you enjoyed this episode and we'll talk to you soon.

In the last decade, I went from being a startup entrepreneur to selling over a billion dollars in my own products and services online. This show is going to show you how to start, grow and scale a business online. My name is Russell Brunson and welcome to the marketing secrets podcast. All right, let's keep it going. Miles, who else we got? All right. Up next, we have Mike Cook. Mike, how are you? Great hat. Love it. Hey, good. Good, guys. Hi, Russell. Hey. So our program, I've spent most of my life in metal fabrication business. And our plan is to create a community, a young men's mentor group that will help young guys get into the business from a fresh start.

And then we have three different levels that we're building. So beginners, then a mid-range version that helps guys really zero in on specific skill sets, and then all the way up to building their own business and the mentorship around the business structure and everything. This was a 2025 plan. I feel like I need to kind of get started on this right away. So we haven't got all of our course material created yet. My question is, I have considered doing a collaboration with other guys in the industry that already have content? And maybe because I heard you pitch that idea a while back. If I were to do that to get this thing kicked off quick,

how would you recommend structuring the profit share in that? For example, if I went to 10 other guys in the industry and had them create parts of the material and do a collaboration, how would you do that? It's very cool. Okay. My first default would be give them nothing. Because what you're giving them is access to your platform. So you look at my speakers who speak at my stages, people who will contribute content to my courses. I don't pay them. They're doing it because they want access to my community. So McCall Jones, I actually talked to her. I'm having her, she's going to come out for the next one of these events because there's two sessions I want her to teach and I'm paying her nothing because she comes and she has a chance to speak to my entire audience. And some of you guys will go and start

paying her and giving her money. It's great exposure for her. So that's, that's the first pass. Okay. Now sometimes the majority of people say yes to that, like in my position, like I'm doing an event, there's gonna be 5,000 people or a thousand or whatever things gonna be this is um i'd love you to contribute here would you be willing to majority people say yes to that okay because that's the value you're bringing them as you're giving them access to a platform there are people who say no to that so then the next phase like okay can you create this thing i'll license it from you i'll pay you whatever some set fee where it's licensed and you create the content i have have a license. I can use it forever. And that's the next level up.

And so I might pay someone a thousand bucks or 500 bucks or 5,000, depending what it is to create something. I licensed it for lifetime and then it's there and I have the right to use that forever. I've done that as well. I have a license fee for all the members chunks, which is in the members area for selling online for the foundation, primary foundation members. It's this 25,000.

Of course I licensed it from him and now I paid him one time licensing to feed. Now it's in the members area for all you guys for forever. Right? So then that versus that's the second version. And then the third version, which is the worst is coming back and say, okay, for everyone who sells, I'll give you, uh, X amount of, if I sell a thousand, of course, I'll give you $50 for every thousand, of course, that'll pay for your thing. And that's kind of the third tier, which is the worst. Cause then every time you sell something, if you've got 10 people, you got to give, you know, $300 away to other people for every single sale that comes through. And that's, that's the worst version. So I would try to pass number one. They say, no, try to pass number two.

They say, no, decide if you want to do for number three or just find somebody else or just sell it first and create the content as you go, which also works as well. Okay. Thanks, Russell. Solid gold. I appreciate you. Awesome. Next question. All right. Up next, we have Brad Fish. Brad, how are you? Hey, Russell.

Thank you. It's nice to be here. Great three days. I appreciate all the content, all your energy, all this enthusiasm. It's very infectious. It's very helpful. Thanks. I'm a book seller.

Okay. So I have a different question for you. It's very helpful. Thanks. I'm a book seller. Okay. So I have a different question for you. I love my job. And I am a sales rep selling to schools and public libraries. My company is a distribution company that works with hundreds of publishers. So I sell thousands of books. So I don't want to create my own business doing this. I'm an employee.

How do I use the ClickFunnels bag of tools to help me in my existing day job to sell more books? You're selling books to schools, you said? Schools and public libraries. Okay. Good question. So who's the buyer, the actual customer that buys from you? Is there a certain role? The librarians in the schools or public libraries.

Okay. I also sell to educational resellers, but my business is basically one-to-one. It's traditional selling. And my territory is the united states so i can't do one-to-one and be successful or be big yeah i have to figure out one to many is there is there i don't know this market at all but are there librarian facebook groups or email lists or podcasts or things that people congregated librarians together yes there is lots of things including national conferences and state conferences and all of that. Yes. Oh, very cool. Then this is the same game plan, right? You bring all those

people together and get them on a presentation or a webinar or a class or a school or something like it's you congregating those people together so you can make the presentation. So you want sales presentation versus one for every single person over and over, right? Right. That's pretty cool. And no one's probably ever done that before have they no no we not the way the business works till now so i would like look at like what what do librarians want what's something exciting for them like or do they have they have something they look up to or is there a new book coming out or something like even doing a giveaway like hey we've got this i don't know like a signed copy of harry potter i don't know something the library

would geek out about like get on this webinar we're going to talk about this i'm going to give one of you guys a free copy of this thing or whatever. And then from there, that's hooked to get them all in. And they have a chance to make a presentation to them, get them to sign up, and then send them the free gift or the free, you know, whatever that thing might be. Okay. That's fantastic. Thank you. One other idea.

I don't know if you follow. Reid Moon is a guy who owns a bookstore down in Utah. He just every day shows a book and tells a bookstore down in Utah and he's got a, uh, he just every, every day shows a book and tells a story behind old books. And he's getting like 10 million views a day on his TikTok, his Instagram on them, just telling stories of old books. And anyway, just a thought, like even, I don't know, telling stories about books would attract people who are into books. I don't know if it attracts librarians or not, but it just, it's another, like looking at him, there's some, there might be something there. I don't know how it attracts librarians or not, but it's just another – like looking at him, there might be something there.

I don't know how to draw the line correctly, but he's a dude who's making old books really, really cool. And now he just sells really, really expensive old books and makes tens of millions of dollars doing it by telling stories about old books. I would assume that some have requirements. Maybe some schools have to get a certain new curriculum. Are you selling those too? Not textbooks, but regular trade books. Well, that might be something. It's like, Hey, this person just published this. This is how you can get your students and everybody else involved in these trades faster. That might be a good hook too, is they come learn about these new resources that are available. That could be

like a cool hook. Great. Thanks. I appreciate it. All right, Miles, let's keep it going. Who we got? All right. Up up next we have tommy bennett tommy welcome to the party what do you got for russell hey hello okay so i specialize in so i'm an online snowboard coach and i specialize on doing like physical products such as backpacks goggles snowboard jackets that kind stuff. And then I also do an online course. So the first question is, what are some continuity ideas that I can make a subscription model based on physical goods that is so specialized for winter? Interesting. Yeah. Cause your business is probably very cyclical, right? Very much like wintertime feast and famine.

It's not sick. And so then that's like, yeah, then it's not a business, right? So I'm like, ah, what do I do? So making continuity. I wonder if it's like, I know that in that space, there's like the gurus, the experts, right? And stuff like that. Like what could you do that's like the stuff they do off like off season to prepare for the on season or is there like do i get a thought on this like i love you so when when people are are doing this a lot of times that they're very serious about you know snowboarding

or whatever like what are the things that they are also doing in the off season for example my family every saturday we're up skiing and then when the summer comes we're biking. Like most of these people have that same common interest. And if you're selling goggles, then maybe it's sunglasses, right? For the off season or different types of things that may be the same, but I would like do some type of poll or something to your current database. Like what do you do in the off season? Like exactly. Yeah. It's surveying like what do you do in the off season? And then from there, like what are you in the off season and then from there make a community where it's like because i don't know but like i'm a wrestler so i identify as a wrestler but in an off season i lift there's other things we do it's like almost like if you call it the off season or something it's like here's all the

sports you know the off season but it's still for the core group that's kind of fascinating yeah not only physical product but exercises a lot of like – Preparing. Yeah, like coaching or schooling kind of like opportunities. What are the best exercises to make sure that your legs are ready for snowboard season or whatever? Remaining some. If not, you're going to lose out on – One of the biggest problems is like reality is a lot of people snowboard seven days a year. So they don't work out to go snowboard. They just snowboard seven days a year.

So that's been like one of the struggles. Same with like an online course. It's like, oh,board they just don't board seven days a year so that's been like one of the struggles same with like an online course like ah well only snowboard seven days a year so trying to find that description model has been like such a headache yeah it's a great niche but there might be just a little wider niche in there too it might be action sports you know yeah cool well russell if you ever want to learn to snowboard let me know i got you i'm in man i've done it once it was awesome but I was really bad at it. I got destroyed going there. I know it was awesome.

I grew an online following and got a couple hundred thousand followers. It's been a fun adventure. I appreciate all your nerd. That's awesome, man. Great question. All right, Miles. Let's keep going. Who we got?

All right. Up next, we have Matthew Ma. Matthew, great to see you. What do you got for us? I'm a real estate broker with over 17 years experience, and I actually have a tech background and certified funnel builder. So I'm setting up my linchpin and continuity and using an extension model. And I want to ask you, how would you set up the offer stacks to show agents

how to go from zero to $100 million in gross sales? That's a great question. So how do you create the actual offer? Is that what you're saying? Yeah, the offer stack. For example, I can help agents with marketing, sales, and tech and show you each level from zero to 10, 10 to 25, and 25 to 100 million. And I have agents who have got to like 85 million plus already.

But I need to create an offer stack that works for each level. Very cool. So I remember Justin, he sold the company to Bill Allen, but they were in the real estate market. And so they had it as all like six-figure flippers, seven-figure flippers, eight-figure flippers. That was the result of each level of their coaching programs. And then that's what it was.

They pitched people in the six figures. They kept talking about seven, eight, nine figures. So it's like seeding the seed. And then when you get in that process the goal is to get to six and they never know as soon as you hit six then you send the next level and they reset the next one and keep doing doing like that i don't figure out how to break it down that those ways so people see the the ascension the value ladder but all the core marketing focuses on the bottom tier getting people into that and then from there the natural ascension happens afterwards

does that make sense yeah that makes sense yeah you're creating a third lineup and then showing each level and then the skill sets for that level. Yeah. Yeah, in fact, if you ever watch, man, Alex Sharfman did a presentation for us called The Billionaire Code. But the coolest thing about it was he showed, like, here's all different levels. Here's from zero to a million, a million to ten.

But here's the opportunities, the weaknesses for each one. So making a front-end presentation like that almost too, like they're seeing the different tiers, and they self-categorize like, I'm in this tier right now. But then they know this is where it's going to happen, right? Here's the tools, here's the strengths, the weaknesses, all kinds of stuff. They're aware of it, and it's easy to get them into that tier.

And they move to the next tier, next tier, and so on and so forth. Okay, perfect. And by the way, I actually read all your books, listened to all your podcasts for the last year, binge-watched everything, and I'm part of a certified and then a prime mover movement and talking to a brand about it too oh amazing very cool awesome see you in a circle soon thanks awesome thanks for having you in the community man i appreciate you awesome great stuff all right who else we got all right up next we are going to be reading a question for someone who doesn't want to come on camera this is toshihiro yanagia and this is what they said. My product is accessibility overlay software as a service tool like UserWay.

The target is universities and other educational institutions, banks, listed companies, and public institutions. Those are the main targets. Next, nursing homes, retirement homes, medical institutions, hotel industry, et cetera. My question is, what type of funnel is best suited to create? What patterns can we consider in the funnel that will allow us to recoup our advertising costs quickly? Since our target companies are mainly B2B and public institutions, we think that the person in charge of conducting the search will likely not have payment authority and will not make the purchase right away. Therefore, I think that the time to recoup the advertising cost is going to be long,

but I want a quick recoup. Cool. Yeah, so one of the things you deal with when you're doing B2B, especially higher ticket things where there's a decision maker, but there's also somebody who's got to buy, it is definitely a longer process. And traditionally, they've got to have a presentation, things like that. So we see a lot of success with inside the community, people who have similar business models is they are driving people um

to uh to like a book a call right and the book call happens and then the key to the to shorten the the to shorten the the buying cycle the key is getting all the decision makers on that presentation right for example like when we were first selling uh back and they were selling the phones we probably have the sales guy with through the whole sales presentation with whoever was on. And then the person would be like, oh, cool. That's awesome. I'm excited. I need to talk to my wife.

I'm like, what? So that person would go try to pitch it to their wife, and they did a horrible job pitching it, right? So we started doing things like we only do the call if both decision makers or husband might both need to be on the call at the same time. When we do the call, we do one presentation. So I would try to structure where it's like you book the call. We're coming on with the presentation, but they get to have both people on the call to be able to make the decision.

And that's like a criteria for actually scheduling and having the call, making it a thing. And then you give the presentation, which is literally just a perfect webinar. Go into the presentation. Both decision makers are there, and then you can close it. Because it's hard. It's not like a traditional B to C where you're able to do a really simple, like, here's a $20 SLO. Here's a this.

Here's a that. Because that person is not buying an impulse buy on the thank you page, right? They're trying to figure out if it's the right fit for them so they can pitch to the decision maker. But the worst thing ever is having that person then pitch it to the next person. So it's like structuring in a way where it has to be both people. They both have to be on the call. That's how you shrink the time span and then get it to the spot where you can get sales happening fast.

B2B is kind of interesting. Tell a quick, quick story. When I was trying to get funnels, when I did finance for a long time, I was trying to get funnels. Like, we've got to do webinars. We've got to do all this stuff. I had to take my business partner with me to FunnelHuntingLabs. Do you remember this, Eric? Anyways, I think there could be a total angle here for the people who are not the decision makers to give some product to them that allows

them, Hey, here are the best ways that you can get your boss to help you in your business. Right. And then showing them how to maybe approach their boss. Like I need you to get on this call. Like it'd be something like that. We did something similar. We sold a 10 X and the 3.2 million. Um, whenever I bought, we gave them this little envelope and you opened it and there was a letter it said this is to the spouse yeah to the spouse and it says hey i know your spouse just signed for a thing they're excited you're probably like freaking out about the investment uh here's the qr code like scan this link or go here and you'll see the same presentation so my president's done put on online and that way when they got home and they're like i spent three thousand dollars honey they're like why would i kill you like they

hand the letter spouse spouse watches the video and then I'm selling it. And so I was like, oh yeah, you surely have done that. So you can do something similar as like giving the person, like the person doesn't get a decision maker on, like giving them a copy of the presentation or they say, okay, when you pitch us the stone. So here's the eight side slide deck. Here's how you're going to pitch it. Like helping them to like not screw up the sale.

So yeah. What a good question. Hopefully that helps a lot of other people too. I know we took a little bit longer than that. Let's keep going miles. We got all right. Up next we have Jason Mollo. Yes. Jason, good to see you. Thanks. Um, so my question is, um, what ideas can you give me to help my customers have a paradigm shift, um, to reframe what's typically a grudge purchase into something a little sexier and help them see the value in it. So some background context, I own an auto repair shop.

And so typically nobody's excited about buying auto care, but everybody needs a car for transportation. And so over 18 years of doing the business, I've realized that I need to put something together that's similar to the model you guys use in the SAS business. And I call it TAS, Transportation as a Service. And basically, I'm trying to get people to sign up for a multi-year plan for their vehicle so that they're paying on a monthly basis instead of paying for services every time they come into the shop because a lot of times people don't have any way of planning for that they don't know what the costs are going to be ahead of time so i'm trying to put together a program where i can plan it out into the future for them sign them up for a three year program so that they're only coming to my shop for the services of the baby.

Gotcha. Cool. So the hard parts about this is this is what they need, not necessarily what they want. So it always makes it harder to sell. So my question is, how do we wrap in what they want as well and make it basically as free as possible? So this is my deal. I'd be looking at what other partnerships with other companies I can do where when they

join this membership site, they're also getting discounts here, coupons, whatever the other thing is, it's lead gen for these other companies to plug it in. Cause now it's like, you're giving them what they want, which is like discounts or blah, blah, blah, or whatever the thing might be. And then you're giving them what they need. And like, I figure out how to structure something like that. So when you're selling this thing, it's like, Hey, this is the thing. It's a three-year plan.

It's blah, blah, blah, you know, whatever. But like on top of it, it's basically free. Cause now you can eat these 10 restaurants for free, or you get 50% off going to this, you know, whatever those things might be. Now it's like, oh, let's like stuff I'd do anyway. And I get this, it, you know, it, it structures. That's how I try to figure out how do you tie wants into the offer stack to be able to, to sell the need. Does that make sense? Okay. Yep. Sounds good. So anyway, hope that puts down the rabbit hole.

I don't know the exact answer, but somewhere along that's what I'd be thinking is how to wrap wants into the need. Cause people buy it. They want not necessarily what they need. I got, I got that too, but we don't have time for them.

Like if you're in this, this would be so much fun to dive into. And like the Q and A's like figure out what that stack or that offer looks like for this type of thing and how to add this. I had an offer. Chris is a car guy. He loves this business. I love cars.

Anyways, so go to sellingonline.com. Slash go, Jason. Now we can get all the live calls and go with Chris and geek out with him. It'd be awesome. All right, Miles, let's keep it going. All right, up next we have Ryan Cole. Ryan, good to see you. Look at that hardware.

Ryan, what's up? Hey, guys. Thanks. Yeah, so my question here is if you had to get a brand-new network marketing team that sells a four-week cellular health refresh, which is like coaching supplements in a blueprint that then auto-enrolls into continuity, if you had to get them actually hitting their targets of sales and getting people under them within the first 90 days, what would you do to ensure that they crush it? Very cool. Well, most network marketing programs, they have a lot of things we've done, right? Fast action.

The first 90 days, you qualify for this level. And if you don't do it in the first 30 days, if you don't do it, you lose out on the ability to ever be in this founding members pool. They're always having things like that to increase urgency and scarcity. So obviously, the tried and true methods that those guys are doing, I would be looking at modeling those things, right? That's the first thing. Number two is for me, it always comes out in an offer. It offers everything. So I'd be like, hey, if you insert the thing you want them to do, do blah, blah, blah, hit these five things, this is the offer I'm going to give you, right?

And then you bribe me with an offer. So anyone who gets this done in the first 30 days, you're going to get first thing you have a chance to come out to our whatever, our leadership retreat. Number two, you're going to get a free product. Number three, you're going to get my top ten places I get traffic sources. Number five, you're going to get my top 10 places. I get traffic source. The number five, we're enjoying my lead. So whatever, but create some really good, irresistible offer that you take away that gives them the, the desire to like run fast as quick as possible. Right. I talked about yesterday during the advanced session about the fact like for us to sell tickets, the only way we can sell tickets for events is like increase, like adding

something and then taking it away. So that's what I'll be doing is like, we're giving you something, but then we're taking away the first 30 days and when it away. So that's what I'll be doing is like, we're giving you something, but then we're taking away in the first 30 days and when it's gone, it's gone. And they create something like that. We're so irresistible. Like they're going like crazy last day, calm, whatever they need to do to get that. Cause they, that thing means so much to them to be able to have access to it. Awesome.

Thank you so much, man. Appreciate you guys. No worries. What's up everybody. This is Russell Brunson. I've got something really cool for you today from my friend Taylor Wells. Taylor spoke at our last Funnel Hacking Live because I wanted him to share a really cool concept about what he calls the revolving pricing method.

And today he decided to sponsor the podcast to give you guys more access to this super cool strategy that you are going to love. It's something we've been implementing into our high-end coaching program as well, and it is amazing. But to kind of give you some context about this offer he's making for you guys, as you may or may not know, a few years ago, JP Morgan Chase did a study, and guess what they found? They found that the average small business only has about 28 days of operating expenses in reserve. That's right, less than a month of cash on hands. Now, if you're like me, the idea of your business being one bad month away from disaster is enough to make your stomach drop, am I right?

Especially with how the economy's been lately, it's not the time to be gambling with your finances. So Taylor put together this book called the revolving pricing method, and it's awesome. It helps you turn every client you close into a long-term profit machine. We're not talking about one-time paydays. We're talking about creating sustainable and real predictable income for the long haul. Now here's where it gets even better. Taylor put together an awesome exclusive deal just for you guys, my marketing secrets listeners. And if you go over to wealthyconsultants.com slash secrets, you can grab the revolving price method book and over $150 worth of bonuses and get this all. It's at 70% off.

Hey, this is Russell Brunson, and I want to jump in really quick to share with you a new assessment I found out that is insanely cool. You guys know I'm obsessed with personality profiles and assessments, but this one is different because not only does it help you understand yourself, but more importantly, especially for us who are entrepreneurs, it helps us understand our employees, our teams, and get people sitting on the right seats in the bus so they can get more stuff done. I just had a chance to interview Patrick Lanchoni talking specifically about this new assessment they created called Working Genius.

And the Working Genius is awesome. Like this test, I had actually blocked out an hour to take it because I was so excited for the new assessment. And it only took me like 10 minutes or less to get it done. Yet, even though it takes only 10 minutes, like you can actually apply this immediately. I took it for myself. I had my team take it. And what's cool about it is from there, we figured out exactly what people's working geniuses are.

And that's important because if you're building a team or a company, you gotta figure out, make sure that you have, first off, the right people, but make sure the right people are sitting in the right seats on the bus. And this is what this assessment will teach you how to do. Now, normally this assessment, you can go to workinggenius.com and there's two

G's in the middle, workinggenius.com, but I got you a 20% discount on the assessment, which is only $25. So don't stress. It's not an expensive test at all, but you get a 20% discount off when you put in the keyword secrets at checkout. So go to workinggenius.com. Again, two G's, workinggenius, two G's in the middle, workinggenius.com. Again, two G's, workinggenius, two G's in the middle, workinggenius.com, and then use promo code SECRETS, S-E-C-R-E-T-S at checkout. You get 25% off. But then go take the test. Again, it takes you 10 minutes. But even in a 10-minute session, you will get something that is so insanely valuable to help you understand yourself, to make sure you're working in a spot that's going to give you the most joy, number one.

But then number two, it's going to make sure that you are with your teams, getting them in the right seats as well. So anyway, I love this assessment. Go check it out at WorkingGenius.com and enter the promo code SECRETS for 20% discount. Take this test for yourself and for your team. And I promise you it will change the working dynamics amongst everybody and help your company to grow. All right, Miles. All right. Up next, we have Christine St. Laurent.

Hi, Christine. Hi. I'm going to say hi to Chris as well because we're going to meet on Monday. Let St. Laurent. Hi, Christine. Hi. I'm going to say hi to Chris as well because we're going to meet on Monday. Let's do it. Yeah. Very generous of you guys of doing this. I'm going to take like five seconds to just say thank you. And then I have one question that is super important.

So I've been dedicating my life for 30 years in health and wellness. And my niche is Ayurveda, which is the medical branch of yoga. And I always have to simplify that. I am well known in French. I have best selling books. I have TV show and everything. Now is my question. Given the current budget constraint, because Zuckerberg took everything like the past two months. So my cash flow is really low, truly. But I do have a community. That's why I'm here. And my offer will be ready in two weeks. So I'm going to fast forward the prime mover thing.

So given the current budget constraint, what are your top strategies to quickly generate revenue from my established community? And how can I efficiently promote my presence now in U.S. market without starting from scratch? Because I'm not from scratch. I have a lot presence now in U.S. market without starting from scratch? Because I'm not from scratch. I have a lot of experience behind me, too. Very cool.

So step number one, like you said, Dan Kennedy, send the bill to the herd. So go to your existing audience and obviously make them an offer. Traditionally, especially if they've seen your offers in the past, if you want to make a quick cash windfall, like make money quickly, it's, it's creating a new offer. They haven't seen before. Right. Um, like for me, if I'm like, I need to make some money quick, I can't go on like, here's an offer I've been selling forever and sell it again. Cause people like I've seen that a hundred times. I'm not going to buy it. So I'd be thinking like, what's the new offer I can create, um, and put together, especially with the experiential, maybe I'm to create something brand new, but it's like, Hey, we're doing this cool thing. You're coming to my house, you're coming to my whatever.

And we're going to do this cool three day event or something that you can sell quickly for a high ticket that the right people from your community would go crazy to have that experience, right? That would be the first thing I would probably try to do, something like that. You can put an offer out without having to work super hard. Just test the waters and see if people say yes. If not, tweak it. Try something. Try a couple versions. So that would be as far as getting cash coming in really quickly.

Again, I don't think you have to, if it's existing audience who knows, loves and trust you, like you don't have to go through to create those slides. Like I would do like a me or Caitlin style, the perfect webinar. We just like go live,

show them, make them an offer, show them what the experience is going to be like. We're going to be here at my house or here at my hotel or whatever the thing might be, you know, that'd be a fast way. And then as far as like moving into the American market, like bringing your credibility be, you know, that'd be a fast way. And then as far as like moving into the American market, like bringing your credibility over, um, you know, I think a lot, it's, it's

taking the stuff you're doing and like taking your, your clips of you on TV and running those ads over, taking stuff. So like you, you're leveraging the street cred you have, uh, in this kind of a market, right. Um, uh, it's finding the influencers in this market and like starting new partnerships and plugging in with them where you're able to co-brand with people who have existing audiences and you're able to show like, in fact, bringing other influencers from the States in a similar market and say, Hey, I can take you to my country. If you're taking my country, like doing cross swaps, you know, where they get exposure to your audience, you get exposure to theirs within two or three of those, you'll have access to the entire American audience pretty quickly.

Does that make sense? That is awesome. That is awesome. Thank you so much, really. No worries. Good luck on it. Congratulations. See you on Monday, Christine.

Love it. All right. Up next, we have Theo Godson. Theo, good to see you. What do you got for Russell? Okay. Hi, Russell. Theo Goden here.

In 2022, you gave me an advice about focusing on the vehicle rather than worrying about serving the wide market. That advice was a game changer for me. I used to structure my belt entrepreneur, which basically segments African entrepreneurs into insiders, professionals, executives, and partners, allowing me to serve them more effectively through gamified experiences. And I've been using the linchpin strategy to launch Belt,

starting with the summit in November. And I'm also using the dramatic demonstrations to build momentum. So my question is, how would you structure a high impact, one-to-many sales funnels within this framework to resonate with a diverse market like Africa, where we have cultural, economic, language differences that are very significant.

Specifically, how I can use storytelling, dramatic demonstrations to build deep connection, drive mass adoption, and then position Belt as a leading entrepreneurial platform in the continent. So thank you so much, Russell. Your guidance so far has been invaluable. I'm excited to hear your thoughts on this and how I can take this to the next level. Very cool. You know, I don't know if there's anything magical I'll tell you other than it's trying a lot of different things. It's throwing out different hooks for dramatic demonstrations.

Like what's going to resonate with the audience? It's trying one, you know, like if you look at the last three months of my business, like we launched the Thinking Growers Challenge. We did the Info Riches course. We've done the Selling Online event. Like we're just throwing out lots of different funnels to see which ones work. And then when one works, then we double down. Like for example, this event, by the way, this is probably the highest like front end most profitable event we've done in five years.

So I'm like, oh, that hook, that angle works really, really good. I'm going gonna do it again and again and again right so it's like we're just throwing different hooks out into the water and then trying things having fun trying different angles different dramatic demonstrations and then when one works where it's like okay that was that message was correct was triple down like one funnel away was the other one like five years ago we launched one funnel away and it was one of a hundred funnels we launched that year but for some reason that one is one is just like, it resonated and it worked and it was like, okay.

And so for the next five years, we ran that one funnel, which I'm sure today, but it was aggressive being run for five years, you know? And so it's like the same thing is just to keep doing what you're doing, just keep testing things. And then the ones that like the resonate more for some reason, it's like, okay, I found a hook. That's the right one. I'm going to go deeper and they go deeper.

Let me go deeper. Like my goal for this event next month is I have 5,000. A month after that, I'm having 10,000. I want to have 10,000 people a month going through this event experience until it stops working. So that's my goal now that I, again, you nail it and then you scale it. So it's like just throwing hooks out there. So you find the nails, boom, now it's going to scale it. So hopefully that helps.

All right. Do you have a specific timeline you're testing this new things before you try another one? I have ADD. So every month we have at least one coming out. So I'm just trying, you know, and I have different businesses too. So I'm trying one of the Dan Candy business, one of the secret success business. And so I would say if I was just focusing on one business, I'd probably like once a quarter I'd be trying something new.

That's probably more realistic. And it doesn't always have to be a huge three-day event or a five-day event. Like sometimes it's just like my birthday. I did a birthday bash two years ago. I was just like, that's probably more realistic. And it doesn't always have to be a huge three day event or five day event. Like sometimes it's just like, like my birthday, I did a birthday bash two years ago. I was just like, it's my birthday. Come hang out. And we just did it. It was fun. Right. So even trying little things like that, like in, if I, if I thought through this more, I probably should have done like a, like a 90 minute selling online and webinar first, just to see if it, if it would work. I was just, I really want to try a paid challenge. So I, challenge, so that's why I did this. But I probably would have tested smaller first before I went all in. And I'm also testing podcast episodes, Instagram reels. These things I'm putting out

there are also testing little hooks, and we're looking at what resonates, and then we can go a little deeper on those ones. Okay. Thank you so much. Great question. Thanks, Theo. All right, Miles. Let's keep going. Congratulations. All right all right up next we have elizabeth t elizabeth good to see you what do you have for russell hi so it's tretch i know it's a tough word tritch like hitch so um thank you russell for answering my question and so i'm a science-based certified dating and relationship coach. Yeah. And I have my offer, but my challenge is naming the offer as well as naming the master class or sales presentation. Okay.

And the end result they'll get, what I teach them is I teach my framework. I teach them how to choose wisely, how to connect with the person, how to captivate the person's heart and their mind, and then how to get into a loving, committed relationship. Okay. So at the end of the day, the goal is getting them in a committed relationship. Say the mark again. You said at the very beginning. Relationship and dating. I'm a science-based certified dating and relationship coach.

Science-based certified dating and relationship coach. So it's dating through the lens of science, scientific something. Yeah. Okay. Science meaning, I teach a lot about laws of attraction. About your thoughts become things, things like that.

Very cool. Okay. Do you have case studies right now of people you've taken through this process? Yes. What's like the most interesting, weird, unique, different case study you've got right now? So I give my clients two deal breakers. And for this particular person who lived in Hoboken, he had to live or want to move to Hoboken. And because she's 5'10", he had to be 6 feet.

And I know that's a stereotype, but she's tall and she likes to wear heels. So I understood that. And stereotype, but she's tall and she likes to wear heels. So I understood that. And we found them. She actually found them the fourth week of us working together online. Interesting. Okay. So it's like how to, how to magnetically find your dream spouse. Even if, even if like the Prince charming, even dream out seems impossible today,

or people have told you, like, have your friends and family told you to give up on finding your, your, your, uh, your Prince charming or princess charming or whatever. Um, you know, I'm going to show you as a case today, how I was able to find, uh, somebody, you know, how I found someone who's Prince charming had to be six foot, had to live in Hoboken, blah, blah, blah. Uh, and we were able to find that person and get them married in less than four weeks by following a very simple process. I think it's something like not giving up on your Prince Charming or your whatever, despite the fact that everyone's telling you this. This is what you do instead. Some angle like that I think would be interesting.

Because I hear all the time, even my wife, when we got married, she's like, yeah, I always wanted to find my Prince Charming. But I decided that it was going to be impossible to find them. So I married Russell. I was like, oh, I always wanted to find my Prince Charming, but I decided it was going to be impossible to find them. So I married Russell. I was like, oh, I thought I was your Prince Charming. But it's like a thing inside people's minds. And I became her Prince Charming, and now she's very impressed with me, I think. Anyway, does that help a little bit? So what would be a good title?

Because I know it needs to be irresistible. Prince Charming Secrets. Is it for women or for men or for both? For women. For women, yeah. Prince Charming Secrets or, you know, Kiss or like No More Kissing Frogs Secrets or let's look at some playoff of something like that that's in there. I always put tight secrets to everything I say.

So you can use that or, you that or tips or just – yeah. I think you try that. You put some ideas out there and see if they resonate. People thought you can tweak them or change them, but it's just kind of playing with that a little bit. So that would be – go ahead. Honestly, you can even go to AI and be like, this is the offer I'm doing. Give me 22 ideas for names for the course. I use AI all the time now for stuff like this.

When I get stuck, stuck i get my head so like saying i sell courses is this give me 22 ideas based on what russell brunson would say and they're like literally as if i did it's funny i do that tonight well how would dan kennedy write this how would jbram write this how would russell brunson write this and sure not they're right i'm like dang that sounds just like me so i played that a little bit too so that i i'm guessing that would be the master class, but shouldn't the offer be the result? Or the title? The title of the offer or the title of the webinar? The offer.

The title of the offer. I think you're overthinking it. I think you're stressing about too much. Like for me, the offer, like what was the offer's name yesterday? I don't even know. I guess PrimeMover Foundation, but we had Fountainhead was the thing. So like each thing has its own component. But people aren't looking at – it's not nearly as important the naming of it as much as like the result they're going to get.

I bet half of you guys don't even remember what Fountainhead even means. But for me, it means something. I love this name. Most of you guys are like, I don't know why he called it that. It makes no sense. But I'm going to learn how to do one-to-many selling. There's a really cool offer that seems exciting. And then there is.

So usually that's more for us as the creator. We're more about that than the actual audience is. So I wouldn't stress as much about it as much as just creating it and putting a name that means something to you so that when you're pitching it, you're like, this is why this is important to me. And then people will kind of buy into that as well. Great. All right.

Awesome. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Next up we have our boy, Michael Faber. Michael, good to see you. What do you got? Good to see you guys. Appreciate you. First, thank you guys for this. This has been amazing. Second, we modeled our sentence steps pretty much after how you have them, right? So it's like courses and online things that get people to our events,

to get people to our mastermind, to get people to our one-on-one. But we've done it straight organically and in Vegas, where you actually get to walk across the stage. So it's going to be really cool. So thank you for that opportunity. With the organic way for our events, we're at the Gaylord in Nashville. I know you're familiar with there because I went to your events there. I love it there. They moved our room to where we have 100 more seats.

So we go from like 250 to 350. What are some organic ways that you would see about moving an event like that? The ideal client is empowering entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs that want to leave a legacy. Wait, to move the event or to get more people to the event? What was the question? To get more people. So we have 100 more seats.

So typically I can fill a 250 pretty easy. So I'm just looking for how to get another 100 people in the room. One really cool campaign we've done in the past. I haven't done it for a while, but it's the scholarship campaign. So what you do is you say, hey, room size increased. We're going to be whatever. We're going to give away a scholarship and have a contest. If you want to come, but you're not able to come, come and tell us why.

It's like a scholarship application. Why you should win one of these free seats and so what happens is you get your entire community coming and literally selling you on why they need to be in the event and you make that public though for everybody's seat so you have all these people submitting why they need to come to the event which is crazy um and you have them like register for a chance to win and so that happens is they read they submit it for everybody they go register for a chance to win you end up getting five six hundred people who have registered their name, contact information, phone number because you're going to call them if they win.

And then you do a big event. You bring the person on. So-and-so wins. You tell the person, yeah, the person wins. The event celebrates for that person. Now you have 500 new leads of people who wanted to come, who just told you why they need to be there, how it's going to change their life. Then you call them on the phone and be like, hey, sorry you didn't win,

but as a second-place prize, I can give you a 50% discount. And boom, and close everybody else right there. It's like one of those places to fill a room when you need to, when you're in some emergency crunch time. I've seen that play work a lot of times really well. That's awesome. Thanks, Michael. Alright, who do I got in my house?

Alright, next up we have Vishal Sharma. Vishal, welcome out. What do you got for Russell? Hey. Yeah, Russell. So I actually in my day job work with attorneys as an expert witness. And I can do the dream hundred strategy and identify the attorneys and market to them. But my problem is that I am the product.

I mean, they are hiring me. So I don't have a back end in this line of work. So that's one question. And then the other would be then obviously, I mean, they are hiring me, so I don't have a back end in this line of work. So that's one question. And then the other would be then, obviously, I mean, there are other areas of interest. Should I build a funnel in those areas? So I'm struggling with that. But maybe the first question is more important. What could I do in the attorney space, if anything? So they buy right now, they're just buying you 100%. So they're buying my expertise. They're buying me as an expert. That's what I do. I've been doing that for many years. I'm an independent consultant.

So I can identify the dream clients and I can reach out to them and apply some strategies. But at the end of the day, I don't have like a, I mean, the end of the funnel stops at me. So I'm not even sure if, you know, what I could do in such a case. Have you ever trained other people how to do what you do? Actually, I was just thinking about that, that should I, should I, you know, help other expert witnesses do that? And I, that was a thought that crossed my mind.

Now, I mean, I have done a few expert witness assignments over the last 10 years. I mean, there are people who have done 100, 200 assignments, but, you know, I have my own unique way of doing things. I don't do many assignments. I do high-end one yeah so maybe that's a possibility i have two ideas for you one idea is i would look like what if you create a certification program where you certify people on your way to actually do it right and so then certification programs you sell those for 10

20 30 like it's a high ticket thing for them to be certified because you're giving them a new career right so you certify people through your methodology and your processes and number two now now you have a bunch of people who you've trained how to do it. So you can go out there and you can create a funnel where you're selling this as a service and they can pay you to do it for this huge, high, crazy price right here. Or for a less price, you can pay the people I've certified. And the certified people, you split it 50-50. It's like, hey, I got you a client. Here's 50% you go do the work.

I keep another 50% because I'm the one who brought the client to you. I certified you. And now it's like the best of both worlds, right? And someone wants to pay you a ton of money. You do it. If not, you get 10 people who are certified and they go out and do it for you. And now you've got a couple of different offers there and it gives you time freedom where you're not always having to do it every single time. Does that make sense? But yes, absolutely. And I will have to, however, find a way of positioning myself because as I said, there are experts that have hundreds of assignments. I have maybe 20. So, you know, I have to figure out what qualifies me to certify them and so forth.

But that's a different problem. I am officially going to qualify you to certify them. You are now officially qualified. If you look at almost any certification program, if you go back, even like the big medical one, back in time, if you go back to the history of almost any certification program, the person who began it 100% of the time is a marketer like me and you who said we should sell a certification program and it became a thing. So there's no legal things like you have to have these things to be certified. I can certify people to be a funnel builder. You can certify people like you are officially, I give you official certification to be able to do that.

There you go. Congratulations. Permission. It really is. If you go back in time and almost every certification program is a marketer like me or you who's like, hey, we should make some money on a certification program. And it becomes a thing. 100 years later, no one even knows. That's a certification program. That's what it is. What created that? A marketer like me or you

100 years ago, 50 years ago. That's the reality of the situation. So you're officially able to certify people congratulations thank you i've certified you to certify people that's awesome all right miles we got all right up next we have dorothy mashburn dorothy welcome out what question do you have hi hey i am an interview and salary negotiation coach, and my business is career advancement and salary negotiation for executive women with website, landing pages, moving to funnels. Is what ideas, any, because the career coaching market is pretty saturated. It's pretty shark infested. Yeah. Interesting.

So, I mean, I think the question I would ask you first is like, what do you do that's different or what's your process unique from what other people are doing? Do you have like your own angle or own direction of how you're targeting it? Yes, absolutely. So it would be more like you have to rewrite the rules of the game, carve out your own table, and then negotiate your value like a boss. So part of that is you may have to leave your current job. Loyalty doesn't pay, that kind of message.

I mean, none of it is like I came up with it, but the whole program is a program I call Resolute. Gotcha. I don't know the market well enough to know as much as I feel like, um, I don't know, like how's the business right now? Are you getting clients and leads? Is it lead that you're struggling with that way? Trying to figure out a different way to position it or what's the, where's the actual problem you're, you're, you're trying to solve this. I'm curious if there's a different problem that's actually there. I have a high end offer. So, um, high ticket coaching for four months. I have six six clients but i'm trying to figure out

how to scale this thing uh without burning myself out yeah what's the price point right now for you're selling the four five thousand okay i would okay great so what i would do is instead of trying to reframe the whole market because i don't think i don't know if necessarily you need that right now um i think it's coming down like creating a version that's this lower ticket that you can start mass producing. Right. Um, because again, what happens, let's say you, you create a 500 to a thousand dollar version. You start pushing that and you start at the point where you've got, you know, a hundred,

200, 500 people that have bought that. That's when all of a sudden like your value suddenly dramatically increases. Like, um, the best way to increase like what you are charging your end clients is you become more of a celebrity. The way you become more of a celebrity is by more people knowing who you are, right? It's like creating that front end, like $1,000 version where you can be paying ads. You have ads running. People are seeing your face. Like it's branding positions as an expert.

That's what increases the perceived value of you long term. So then first off, you make a lot of money on this front tier, but then you can charge way more. You can even – again, we talked about it about before you could start hiring coaches who are running things below you and things like that. Right. I look at my business. Like when I first got started, people were just buying Russell. Right. And then eventually that, that was my inner circle. And then like we, I moved up a step and I've read brought into common Quebec's, we brought in coaches. Right. And then everything shifted up and kept shifting up. And I think that's the next step for you is like, you need to this bottom tier so more and more people are coming into your world.

So you can raise your prices, be more exclusive, bring in a level in between now where there's people coaching you. Maybe it's $10,000 and they got somebody who's coaching them through your processes, right? And then at $30,000, they get access to you and it starts building out more of a full value ladder. Does that make sense? Yeah. But I think that's the piece you're missing is like, you need to build up that, that demand for you as, as the personality by having a lower ticket that's mass that's, that's, you can sell a lot more of it. Does that make sense?

Yeah. So like a thousand dollars through a perfect webinar course. Okay. Yeah. All right. Thank you. Great question, Dorothy. Your group photos are likely missing someone important.

Hey. Okay. I sell personal image styling sessions and programs. I have sold them through live presentations in other people's events and through client referrals. My vision is to free women from the fashion trap that makes some of us think that to be relevant and avoid criticism, we need to follow every single trend and the others to think that fashion or personal image is superficial and completely quit to it. To achieve that, I have created a new type of salon, the outfit salon,

which is a place where you go to create great outfits with the clothing you already have. My goal is to make the image consultant industry as popular as the hair salon industry. How to create crazy demand for my outfit salon. Very cool. So is your outfit salon in a physical location then? Yeah, it is. Okay. And so the goal though, so is the goal just to figure out how to get more people in there?

Or is the goal to turn this into a movement that goes across the whole world? Both. Both. Okay. So the salon you have right now, do you have a lot of people coming into it? Is it profitable? Is it making money right now?

No, not really. I have sold like maybe three or four sessions. Okay. What did someone pay for a session? $55. Okay. Very cool. And they got to be local to be able to do it.

Could you do it virtually? Well, I do it also online, yes. How much do you charge for it online? $55, too, because they are, I don't know if you know this concept, dry bar. This is a hair salon where you only have blow dries. I have the same thing, but for the outfit. People come with a preset outfit, and i tell them how to style them so if they figure and their goals are flatter and they kind of check okay first thing is you have dramatically raise your prices because right now you think it's only

worth 60 a session it's worth more than that and the way you do it you gotta look at a price you gotta tie it to to the correct of what the alternative is. Right? So I have a, I have a shopper who once a year takes me shopping and we go to this expensive places and I buy, it buys me stupid things. I would never buy my, like, for example, this sweatshirt, the teddy bear, it's so cute. Russell nice teddy bear. Do you know how much this thing costs? This is like an $800 sweatshirt. I would never in infinity years buy it.

Right. I spent $800 on a sweatshirt. Cause he's like, if you wear the sweatshirt, it looks cool. I don't know. It's stupid. Right. But that's the other fashion consultants who said that's what you're selling against. Right. So you're saying, look, if you want, like my prep, my pitch would be like, if you want to look like you to spend $35,000 with a private shopper and you do it with the clothes you already have in your thing, I can show you how to do that. It's only going to be $200 a session or $500 a session, right? Like that's what you're selling against. Like you have to look at what people are actually spending for that right now. Like this is a $800 t-shirt, but one day a year I go shopping with this guy.

Like I'm literally dropping $40,000, $50,000 in a day in clothing. Like that's what a personal shopper is doing. So that's what you've got to sell against is what you're doing. You're getting the same experience whether it's free with the stuff they already have. And obviously like, I'm not like a normal person. So like, but if someone doesn't want to fashion, you're still looking at two, three, four, $5,000 for something to go and actually get a complete makeover, right? That's what they're looking at.

And so that's what you got to price against. So you're coming and saying, look, it's going to be one 10, nine to pay $5,000. The traditional person is going to make you spend in their time. Plus the clothing you got to buy. You already have the clothing and I'm going to show you how to do it in a way that's more authentic. You're going to feel good about it and dah, dah, dah, dah, dah. Right. And now that's worth $500 a session easy versus the $5,000 they're paying. Right. So that's the biggest thing. Now when you get that figured out, now you can buy ads. Now you can do things because now you have enough, enough profit in the

actual offer that you can, you can spend money on ads right now. If you're spending $50 a session, there's no way you're ever going to grow it because there's no money for advertising. Does that make sense? Awesome. Great question. Great question. And you should save me some time because I can fire Bart and not spend so much money on my clothing. Anyway, it's ridiculous. But yeah, now you guys know about my teddy bear t-shirt. That's why I have to wear it so often because it's like, I got to break it down to what it costs every time you wear it. Yeah, I love it. All right, Miles, let's keep it going. All right, this next one, I'm going to be reading the question is from Adam Miros, and this is about his business.

I'm selling a three-month online marketing program for $4,000. I have a lead magnet, which is a free training and a call to book page. I sell for 30 to 60 minutes on a sales call. I get about 1,500 leads a month, but most of them or 50% of them are unqualified, meaning they don't have enough money and they are new coaches. My offer is for coaches who already have paying clients, but don't have a predictable system for getting new clients. I'm doing 20,000 a month and want to scale to 100K. Thank you so much. Now, the question is this, how to target my funnel to more successful, qualified leads and not beginners. Ideally, first steps, options, and ideas for my type of business.

Awesome. Okay, I have two thoughts for you. Number one, the bait we put out into the world is who we actually end up attracting, okay? One thing fascinating about this event, by the way, this is speaking to how great you guys all are, the caliber of people who join this event is different than the caliber of people who join some other stuff. Right. And the reason why is because what the bait I put out there was like, are you selling something online?

Do you want to sell more of it? Sellingonline.com, right? That was the bait we put out there. So the caliber of people who came were different. And we can tell that from the conversations, from the, from the group, from the conversion on the offer, like all those things are different because we put different bait in the market and different people were attracted to that. The right people, great people, which is why you guys are all here, right?

So that's the number one thing to think about is like the message you're putting out is going to attract the people in there. Number two is if the goal, the, the process you get from 20,000 to a hundred thousand a month could be as simple as just like right now you're spending 90% of your time talking to unqualified people. So I start, I started doing is like, what are the barriers I can put in the way that get the unqualified people not to have a chance to talk to me? Right? So one barrier might be instead of going directly from VSL application, what if I put them through webinar? Now they got to spend longer time with me. And then I push into the

application. Sometimes I might start charging for application, right? Instead of giving away a free application, charge a hundred bucks for the application. What's gonna happen? You're gonna charge a hundred bucks for the application. The wrong people are not going to apply, right? Your apps will go from, let's say you get 1500 apps a month. You can go down to a hundred apps a month, but it's a hundred right people, right? And now you're making a hundred dollars on each app. Now I have a hundred dollars to spend to get an application, right? So I can start increasing the, the, the traffic I'm spending to it because I'm getting upfront money from the paid applications. So shifting from a free

application to paid application is a great way to kick out the tire kickers. So you go from 1,500 calls to 150 calls. You get the right people. And now I can spend more money to get the right people. And then I go from 100 calls to 300 calls. And now I'm at my $100,000 a month because I'm only talking to the right people. I'm only spending time with the right people.

I'm getting more of the right people versus having more massive applications. So there's a couple of quick things to think through. Changing the bait or make sure the bait's correct. putting a paywall in front of the application, two levers I would play with really quickly to try to get you there without having to scale a sales team and all the other stuff. Yeah, that's awesome advice. Alright, who else we got? Alright, up next we have Gabber Kirstan. Gabber, good to see you. Hey, man.

Hey, Russell. I'm a huge fan. I started learning about funnels to help me with my mission. I have a free app called Bliss Compass. It allows you one-click journaling by combining time and mood tracking so you can identify the stress and joy factors in your life. And I feel this is important because this is not taught in school, but it's like key for a successful and well-lived life. And that's why it is free. I'm currently JVing with related businesses, like doing webinars together, promoting their offers, and I'm plugging my app in as a bonus. And I would be looking for other strategies to promote the app

by keeping it still free. Very cool. So the app's free and you have paid upgrades aside? Is that the model? Well, I don't have a paid offer right now, but I'm plugging it into other people's offers as a bonus, just like an affiliate. So are they paying you for each sale or how does that work? Yeah, yeah.

Basically, my app is the hook or, you know, a new angle they can promote from. And we are doing this webinar together. I have some relevancy to their offer. And then, yeah, I'm getting some share of the sales. How much, what percentage they give you the sale? I'm curious. I have offers that I get like 20,

20 to 30%. But it's like a hundred dollar offer. What we are talking about. Gotcha. Okay. So it's not much we have to scale. So the question to find more people to partner with is a question. How do you do this outside of those other people?

So you can just have your own. Yeah. Like how to, how to make it more scalable, effective. Cause I have, you know, running costs obviously.

Yeah. Um, okay. Well, I mean, there's two different directions, right? One is like to scale.

You gotta find more partners. So if you're gonna find more partners to do with, I would just go back and like, when I, when I do the webinar, it's converting. Like for example, this event, when it's done, uh, Ben Harris, he has met earlier

today. He runs an affiliate program for us. He's going to go through and show all the stats, the numbers, everything that we're gonna take that. And we're going to start sending that to every single person who has an email list in our space, have them be part of the next one. Right? So if you've done it five or six times, like showing the stats, showing the numbers, and then take that and just start mass marketing to your dream 100, trying to get more and more people to do it with. So that's one obvious option option the second one then is like you coming back and making your own offer where now you can you're not tied to somebody else's success which is great to do but also like how do you have one where it's like you have your own 300 offer where the app's part

of it and now you can just market it externally from everyone else that way you can start buying ads growing and scaling and 100 control your own destiny and not having to rely always on other people and i would probably try to do both those plays if it was me, because I want more control on one side, this side, and then I also want more distribution partners on the other side. So those would be the two things I'd be really focusing on and targeting to keep growing and scaling what you're doing. Does that help? Yeah, that's really helpful. Thank you so much. Great question. That's awesome. All right, Miles. Who we got next? All right. Up next is another one that I'm going to be reading.

So this is from Dominic. He says, I help faith-driven people and the general community to start, grow, and succeed with online business for socioeconomic transformations. His question slash statement is, I want to attract my clients, especially Africans, so they can have financial and life transformation to impact their communities. What should I do? Okay. So you want to attract more Africans. Is that right? Yeah. I'd say, again, it comes back to whatever bait we put in the market is who we attract. So for me, for example, like when we first launched ClickFunnels and stuff like that,

I was doing events pre-ClickFunnels. If If you can remember Russell Brunson event, it was like 95% dudes, 5% women. And I was like, I want more women here. And so what do we do? Well, Liz Benny came to our world. That's the first time I started taking Liz, her story. And that became a friend and hook. I was putting out there. We talked about her and her, she was in the ads, the webinars and also more women showed up. Right. And I was like, I want more, um, more diversity. And so we found people in our community from different diversity and put their stories out there. And now if you look at like a ClickFunnels event, a Russell Brunson event, it's like a mixing pot of every race, nationality, sexual preference. And I guess it's a party.

It's like the coolest thing in the world because we highlight people from all the different places we're trying to bring people into our world. And so for you, if it's like you want more, if it's African-Americans or Africans or whoever you're trying to do, find those case studies and like highlight them, teach them, put them up on a pedestal. And those people will attract more of those people into your world and into your community. And that's true for any of you guys. Like when Caitlin Poland, the biggest problem she had with Lady Boss is that Caitlin, you know, she's a, she at the time, she's a 24 year old girl with tattoos and carrying guns. Right. So those people came to her, but like the moms weren't coming to her, the, you know, all these people that she couldn't get into her world. So she found people who were her, but the moms weren't coming to her. All these people, she couldn't get into her world. So she found people who were successful, who were moms, who were these people, and she put them up and told their stories and put them on pedestals.

And also, it took it from people following her into her business that were just like her to all of a sudden she opened the whole world by featuring other people as the case study. So looking at your market, who's your dream customer? Who do you already have as your dream customer? Highlighting them, put them on a pedestal. That will attract more of those people into your community and into your world. who's your dream customer, who do you already have as your dream customer, highlighting them, put them on a pedestal. That will attract more of those people into your community and into your world. It's a perfect answer. I mean, you've done this too. Like you can tell that potato gun story only so many times in ClickFunnels, but now all these other success stories too to Comic Club Awards.

It was like Gabe Schillinger came in and was successful in the music market. I'm like, that's amazing. So we took his story, blew it up, and now like, I don't know, we've we've got 30 000 musicians on the click phones platform like i don't know how to play any music i got no skills but gabe did and that story opened that whole community to us and like so on and so forth awesome okay miles let's keep going all right this one question quick what's our what's our plan for for lunch breaks and stuff we don't have very many questions left we can either take a quick little break stuff our our faces or wrap these, finish these up. How many do we got? Probably about seven or eight left. Let's keep rocking then. I'm doing it. All right. I am

pretty hungry though. All right. So this next one is Javier Garcia. I'm going to be reading the question again and don't know much about the business, but it says thoughts about a freemium model, free community, and then sell paid plan? Or is it better to have a low ticket entry level and then upsell them to higher ticket, more exclusive program without the free community on top of the funnel? Cool. So the reality is there's a million ways to play this game, right? And most of them work. People are like, should I do a free book funnel?

Yes, that works great if you've got a book. Should I do a webinar funnel? All the things work. Right. Um, I think what a lot of the, the creators inside of like the school, for example, is obviously pushing this idea really well. And it's been interesting watching them. And, um, if you notice right now, we're leading with the free community that you guys are in right now. And it's like, there's, there's something there. In fact, I have a friend who he launched a free community three years ago and it was a Facebook group and he came in and at the time I've known him for he launched a free community three years ago. It was a Facebook group. And he came in. And at the time, I've known him for 20 years.

He's a great marketer. At the time, nobody really knew who he was. And he came and he started serving his face off for like a year. He was just making this community drop in like gold after gold after gold. He didn't sell anything for a year. After a year, everyone showed up to this group because this is like all the cool stuff is happening here. Everyone showed up to the group. And then a year into it, he's like, hey, I'm going to sell a $25,000 mastermind group.

If you want in, here's a Google doc. And it was like a half page Google doc with an order link. And he sold like 350 people in at 25 grand that fast. No sales call, no webinar, no hook, no nothing. Just from a community. And so like me, three months ago, I was like, that was really, really smart. I'm like, we had a Facebook community that blew up and it became, anyway, ClickFunnels Facebook group went from like this really cool thing to like there's 300,000 people and there's chaos in there.

I feel like I'm at, I don't know, it stresses me out, right? And so I was like, I want a place where I can like curate a really good community. So like that's why we, and again, I kept going back and forth, like where to do it at. We decided to figure it out to do school for this community. And so this selling online community is a free community. And you're going to notice my goal of next year is put 100,000, 200,000 people in there. And I'm going to notice my goal next year is to put 100,000, 100,000 people in there.

And I'm going to give so much value in that group that it'll be insane. You buy somebody else's course and you'll be like, I paid $3,000 for this course. And Russell's free group is way better. That's my goal is just to blow everybody's minds. Because I want all you guys to have so much success. You feel so much reciprocity. You feel guilty not giving me money to come into Prime Movers and Prime Mover Mastermind and Inner and atlas it's like that's my plan so i think it's a good strategy it's coming like serve people like serve your face off in a group for a while and then people will naturally the reciprocity

the water sense i'm 100 for that i think it's a great model um is it better than doing a freemium no you should do both like i don't just do one thing i do multiple things but it's a great strategy so you'll notice for the next three or four months like if you start watching the transition like we're waiting to launch this community, but you'll notice that's what about hanging out with russell.com. You'll notice the call to action. All my socials will be like, Hey, we're socially interaction on platform. You want to hang out with me? Come hang out with russell.com. We have a conversation happening over here. Come over to my house over here. In fact, if you read traffic secrets, there's a chapter in there. We talk about

this where the goal of social media is like social media is be social and have a lot of fun and then invite people back to your home. So hang out with russell.com is like social media is be social and have a lot of fun and then invite people back to your home. So hang on with Russell.com is like, come to my house and come see what the cool stuff we have. Then in that group, we can sell you, upgrade you, we can send you all kinds of stuff will happen off platform in this really cool community. We're serving like crazy. So that's the model right now that I'm playing with. I haven't done it yet.

We'll find out, but it's feeling good so far. That's great. All right. Up next, we have Zara Johnson. Hey Zara. What do, we have Zara Johnson. Hey, Zara. What do you got for us? Hi. Hey.

So I handle digital marketing for my family's business, which collectively has gained over 400K followers on Instagram and more on various other platforms. We've had great success with webinars for our supplement brand focused on weight loss, and we're currently building a webinar and high-ticket challenge for our mentoring-slash-coaching program for young entrepreneurs. How would you recommend we implement an affiliate program? Ooh, very cool.

What's the price point of what you're selling right now? For the supplements, the no supplement is over like $30. Okay. Are they selling it for a continuity version where every month they're getting it? No. No, it's one off. Then the webinars on the supplement end are free. So they're free webinars. Okay, cool. Then the webinars on the supplement end are free. So they're free webinars.

Okay, cool. So the affiliate game is fun. And we'll probably do a bunch of trainings inside the conversation, nominations stuff, traffic going deep into affiliate programs. I can talk about this for 10 days because every affiliate is different. The way you structure things are different. But looking back, Dan Canning always tells me, what are you willing to spend to acquire a customer? That's the first question we have to ask ourselves, right?

So right now for like this event, like I'm willing to spend probably $200 or so to get somebody to come to an event like this, right? And so I know that's like the value. So you figure out what you're willing to spend and then you reverse engineer from there, right? And so some affiliates, it's like, you know, if we're willing to spend on paid ads, again, $20 to get a customer, I can go to an affiliate and say, I'll pay you $20 for every time you sell something. Or if it's like right now on Facebook, we're spending $3 a lead, I can go to an affiliate and say, I'll pay you $2 a lead if you send leads to me. So you can pay an affiliate per lead.

You can pay them per sell. Sometimes you pay them a percentage of the sell. But we have some people who are affiliates for ClickFunnels where they get someone signed for 97 a month if they get someone signed for a trial we pay them 200 just for getting that trial and they don't get any continuity but they get the two dollars up front because we're spending that much for mark zuckerberg anyway so i'll pay an affiliate that and they get the money up front but every affiliate's kind of different so the biggest key is for you figure out like what are you able or willing to spend to get a customer and then from there and looking at what you're spending on other platforms or ads, and then you go start recruiting affiliates and making that offer to them.

And what's interesting is everything we talked about making offers to a customer, it's the same thing we're doing when we're making offers to get an affiliate to promote us, right? So if you look at, like, when we did affiliate launch, it's like, hey, if you promote it, the first thing you're going to get is this, and you're going to get this. And you're sort of bribing them through an offer to get them to promote what we have. Right? Like yesterday, if you guys saw, like I bribed all you guys to promote our event, right? I was like, if you promote the event, firstly, if you get one person to buy, I'll give you a free VIP ticket. And then the top 10 or top 15 affiliates, you're going to come and be in person in the room next time we do it. And then we're going to, and we're pushing, you're going to get a hundred percent commission. Like we make a really good offer for affiliates, same way we make offers for customers, we make offers for affiliates. And that's how you start recruiting people then to start promoting your, whatever the

product is that you're going to try to sell. Does that make sense? Makes sense. I know it's just like a little scratch on the surface. We can go so deep on that, but hopefully it'll get you on the rabbit hole. It does for sure. Can I ask one more for myself in terms of what, what skills or people would you recommend young entrepreneurs master in order to reach your level of success within a decade? Oh, good question. I think the biggest thing is learning communication, right? Learning how to speak, learning how to persuade. Also, if we talk about the last couple of days, it's so important because it doesn't matter what role you're in. Like, let's say I want to be on the ad team. The asking mess to understand, persuade,

they write out. So then I'm going to be a copywriter. Why don't we be a presenter? I want to be a course creator. Like, like even if you're creating a course, like you have to understand psychology because like, that's how we get people to actually have success with what we're selling them. Right. And so like, it's really learning that communication stuff. Like for me, I was lucky before I started this business, I spent two years in New Jersey, knocking on doors, trying to convince people. I try to sell people on my beliefs and religion. Right. So it's like, but that was like the best training program in the world for me. So it's like learning how to spell, learning how to speak, learning how to communicate, uh, is the most

powerful thing. And even if it's as simple as like just getting out your phone and like practicing Facebook lives or practicing going live, just doing that stuff to learn the communication skills because that will serve you in any – your own business, other people's businesses. Like it's such a powerful like valuable skill set, right? I talked about Myron's four levels of value. Like the third level of value is communication. Like as soon as you can learn how to communicate, you no longer have barriers on your income. Like you can use that skill set all over the place. So I think that's what I'd be really focusing on is learning the key, like learning how to communicate, how to persuade all those kinds of things are so,

so valuable in any, any role you want to have. Thank you so much.
