Starting point is 00:00:00 When it comes to Smart Water Alkaline 9.5 plus pH with antioxidant, there's nothing to overthink. So, while you may be performing mental gymnastics over whether the post-work gym crowd is worth it, if you'll be able to find a spot for your yoga mat, or if that spin instructor will make you late for dinner again, don't overthink how you hydrate. Life's full of choices. Smart Water Alkaline is a simple one. Hey everyone, this is Russell Brunson. Welcome back to the Marketing Secrets Podcast.
Starting point is 00:00:33 All right, I got a special treat for you guys over the next three episodes. So not the most recent Funnel Hacking Live, two Funnel Hacking Lives ago, I did a presentation I was really excited about and it's called Conversation Domination. And where the kind of the backstory behind this is one of my friends had a course about a decade ago called Conversation Domination. His name is Howie Schwartz and it was all about Google SEO. And the concept back then was basically you'd go to Google and you type in your, you know, Boise dentist and like
Starting point is 00:01:05 all the listings, all 10 would be you, all the paid ads would be you. Like you would dominate the conversation. You'd be at everything all over Google. And it was awesome. He had a big company and a brand teaching that for a long time. And then he went off and, you know, he's got a ton of other companies and he kind of shut down his, his training company. But I always loved that concept of conversation domination. Like I want to dominate the conversation. Um, and a lot of you guys know, like I'm not a huge SEO dude anymore. I, I, I dabbled in, in the dark arts of SEO for, for a long time. We still do it. Um, but conversation domination for me became bigger, especially as social movement started happening. Right. And we have all these amazing channels. We have Facebook, we have Instagram, we have YouTube, we have Pinterest, we have all these,
Starting point is 00:01:44 these things that are popping up. And, uh, because I always used to hear back a decade ago, Howie talking about conversation domination. You want to make sure that everywhere you're all omnipresent, everywhere you look, you are there and you're entertaining and you're educating. You're there. And he was talking about from a Google standpoint, but as I was building ClickFunnels, I'm like, I want to be omnipresent everywhere on social. So when you pull out your cell phone, you open it up, it doesn't matter if you're going to the Facebook app or the Instagram app or the YouTube app, like you were seeing me and my message and all that kind of stuff.
Starting point is 00:02:11 And so I did this initial presentation kind of going through the initial principles of that. Now, I'm sharing this with you because I'm working secretly behind the scenes. Nobody knows about the shit on my team, so don't tell them. But I'm actually working on more of a training, not a training course, that's not the right word, but kind of a training course, going deeper into these concepts and like actually showing you, okay, if you want to dominate the conversations, here's how you do it specifically and going deep dive on like how to dominate the podcast channel, how to dominate Instagram and Facebook and all that kind of stuff. And so I'm working on that right now. And so as I'm working on that project, I want to kind of just bring this up into your
Starting point is 00:02:48 minds and get you guys start thinking about it again. Cause I'm sure sometime in the next couple of months we'll come out with that, that project. You guys have a chance to kind of tap into that and, and, uh, and see it all. And so, um, I just wanted to kind of rebring this up. So what I'm gonna do over the next three episodes is I'm going to show, I'm gonna let you guys listen to that presentation from funnel hacking live. Um, and so that's kind of the game plan. And so with that said, I'm going to cue up the theme song, and we're going to dive into the first part of this presentation. I hope you enjoy it.
Starting point is 00:03:10 If you like this episode and this little series we're giving you right now, please go and take a little screenshot of it and post it on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, any of the social channels you're in. Tag me and use hashtag marketingsecrets. That way I'll be able to see it, and it means a ton to me. And also same time, if you are liking this podcast, please go to iTunes, rate and review me. That means the world to me as well. And with that said, this cute theme song, and then you will jump right into session one of the conversation domination presentation. So the big question is this, How are entrepreneurs like us, who didn't cheat and take on venture capital,
Starting point is 00:03:47 who are spending money from our own pockets, how do we market in a way that lets us get our products and our services and the things that we believe in out to the world, and yet still remain profitable? That is the question, and this podcast will give you the answers. My name is Russell Brunson, and welcome to Marketing Secrets. All right, so I want to share a presentation with you guys. This is, I have so many fun presentations at this event. This is what I'm really excited for.
Starting point is 00:04:18 So the title of this presentation is called Conversation Domination, How to Get Your Dream Clients Addictively B binge watching you on every platform that they live on. But there's one kind of caveat here. This isn't for people who are just dabbling. This is for people who believe so much in their message. I'm expecting to read my handwriting. It's only for people who are so passionate about their message. They're willing to go out there and try to be everywhere to all people, okay? That's what we're talking about today. Now, a couple things is,
Starting point is 00:04:50 with most of my presentation, most of what I'm talking about today, there's gonna be different levels of this. So those who are at the beginning, there's gonna be pieces, like, sweet, I can go and start this implanting immediately. And for some of you guys who are further along, there's gonna be more and more of it. But the end picture, the end goal of this entire thing is get to the point where you are dominating the conversation in your market. Okay, right now, since we've launched ClickFunnels, that I'm aware of, there have been 37 ClickFunnels killers that have come out. 37! Guess how I know that? Every time one comes out, I get every person on planet Earth messaging me, forwarding me all the emails, like everything. 37 people
Starting point is 00:05:20 have come to try to take down ClickFunnels since we started. Okay? But I've done something strategically in the middle of it. I've tried to make so much noise constantly and consistently that nobody can hear anything else besides us. It's done pretty well so far, right? There will be more competitors, and we'll continue to have fun with this process, but this is a big part for all of you guys. Like, you want your message everywhere so that people are seeing you all the time everywhere you're going. So that's what we're talking about. Now to begin to kick this presentation off, I want to share a really quick video clip from Gary Vaynerchuk. That's
Starting point is 00:05:51 going to kind of set up this whole presentation. I think this is the television in 1965. If you, I'd actually like, I know a lot of you are like, whatever, just really pay attention to this because this might be one of the better things I say. This is the television in 1965 and the TVs, they're the radio, right? So people, and if you go and study, so what I do well for somebody who's a student, the one thing I do study is history because history loves to repeat itself, right?
Starting point is 00:06:21 And so if you go look at the brands, the beer brands that were romantic about staying on the radio because that's how they did it and didn't shift to television while things like Miller Lite that nobody's ever heard of went TV only and became the brands.
Starting point is 00:06:38 If you look at TV 1965, that's what I think this is. And I think YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook are ABC, NBC, and CBS. So do I think, and then I think I, within it, is MASH and Happy Days. Got it? So that's the system.
Starting point is 00:06:58 So do I think over time ESPN comes around and HBO comes? I do. There will be more channels built on this platform and there'll be more competition that's what's happening and so what you need to do is for your business figure out the channels where you could be the star of that network there's the context what we were talking about for the next hour now ten years ago when I first had a chance to meet
Starting point is 00:07:23 Tony Robbins the very first time, he invited me out to his event. I had a chance to sit with him. And he told me, he said, look, Russell, I'm looking for help. I'm like, you're Tony Robbins. What do you need help with? And he told me a really interesting story. He said, if you look back, he's like, the way I got my start, it was on TV.
Starting point is 00:07:39 We ran infomercials. He said, when I got started, though, there were three channels, CBS, ABC, and NBC. He's like, I was everywhere on every single channel because there were three. He's like, you nbc he's like i was everywhere on every single channel because there were three he's like you couldn't get away from you know how hard you tried um how do you guys remember that this is before my time but how many guys remember on every channel all you saw was tony all the day long because there's three channels and he dominated all of them and i actually found an infomercial from him from back in the 80s see anthony robbins live author of the international bestsellers unlimited power Power and Awaken the Giant Within. You've seen him on national television. Now is your chance to see him live. Monday, January 11th at the Ottawa Congress Centre. During this full day seminar, you'll learn
Starting point is 00:08:12 techniques used by top business leaders, Fortune 500 companies and Olympic athletes alike. Thousands have enjoyed and benefited from the dynamic and powerful presentation style of Anthony Robbins. Take action now. Call 224-3037. This event will sell out. Call 224-3037 now. All right. Isn't that amazing? Look at his hair. I'm going to tease him about that on Saturday. Just kidding, I won't. It's Tony Robbins. Whatever he wants. No, but it was interesting. So when I met Tony, though, I was in a hotel with him eating dinner and we're talking and he said, he told me this. He said, look, when I got started, three channels, we dominated, and I built the biggest brand on earth. He said, what happened, though, is then cable came out, and all
Starting point is 00:08:52 of a sudden, there was a splintering, where all of a sudden, there was 10, 20, 30, 50 channels. He's like, I've been trying to buy ads on all these channels, and now I cannot, I can no longer do it profitably, and Tony's business was in trouble at the time. That's why he reached out to a bunch of us internet nerds. He was like, what should I be doing, you guys? And we gave him some strategies. And over the next 10 years, Tony has blown up. His empire now is bigger than it was ever. But he was intelligent enough to know, like, look, channels, media splitting.
Starting point is 00:09:15 Like, I got to figure out how to play this game. And so I saw this clip from Gary Vaynerchuk. I was like, that's amazing. Like, we have this really rare, really unique opportunity where literally these phones right here, like Gary said, these are the TVs from the 1960s. So if all of us didn't know that, if I was to go back to the 1960s and I was gonna be on TV,
Starting point is 00:09:33 I would be on every channel like Tony. I'd build the biggest brand possible. But we can do the same thing today. That's the whole goal. So I'm gonna walk you through kind of my model because this is what we are doing. We're trying to dominate the entire conversation in our marketplace.
Starting point is 00:09:47 And I'm gonna kind of walk you through what we're doing and how we're doing it. And hopefully with some of the presentations you heard earlier about vulnerability and building your tribe, if you weave those type of things into this of getting your message out to people, it's going to change the game for you. Okay. All right. So we'll kind of briefly go over the history of TV. Okay. So step number one with TVs is that we had to get distribution into people's homes. People had to build TVs and actually get them into people's houses, right? That must have been a horrible process. But eventually, there was TVs in everybody's houses. Then the next step is there was channels.
Starting point is 00:10:12 So on each TV, there was ABC, CBS, and NBC, right? Three channels was all that there was. And then each channel had individual shows, okay? And that's how TV worked. So distribution, channels, and then shows within channels, okay? Today the game is a little bit different, but it's similar. So how we play today, number one, people already have the TVs. Everyone already has the phone in their pocket. Is there anyone in this room right now that doesn't have a phone in their pocket? Not one hand, okay? Distribution's
Starting point is 00:10:38 done. That's nice. That's taken care of for you guys, okay? Step number two then is they already have the channel. How many of you guys have a Facebook app on your phone? YouTube app? Instagram? The channels are already there as well. So our step now is we need to create shows on their channels, on those channels, and promote those shows. That's it. Like that's the game. It's really fun. So here's how we plan it. This is the framework on the right-hand side that we're going to be walking through for the next 45 minutes or so of this presentation. So I'll kind of go through every step, but that's the framework of what we're going to be talking about during this presentation, okay? So step number one in this framework is we have to get distribution for our shows, right? How do we get an audience who's actually going to watch our show?
Starting point is 00:11:16 Okay, step number two is that we need to grow our channels. There's a lot of people that are on the channels. And then step number three, we're going to promote the actual shows that are happening. And if you do that, which I going to promote the actual shows that are happening. And if you do that, which I went too far, if you do that, you can literally become the Tony Robbins in your market. Okay, so that's what we're going to be going
Starting point is 00:11:30 over here right now. Does that sound like fun? How many of you want to be the Tony Robbins in your market? Yeah. All right. Me too. That'd be so fun.
Starting point is 00:11:39 All right. Step number one. This is the secret I need everybody to understand about business as a whole. I wish somebody would explain. Like, grab me by the ears and explained this to me 10 years ago. It took me a while to figure this out. The secret to winning in this business and any business at all is distribution.
Starting point is 00:11:53 The person who will win is always the person with the best distribution. The ability to get their message to people. Distribution is the key. Okay, how many of you guys watch Shark Tank? I want you to understand this. If you watch Shark Tank, you'll see something interesting. Each of the people on the Shark Tank have a different distribution channel. Have you noticed this? Damon John has got really good distribution in retail. So he sits back and all the different people in there and he's like, I'm out, I'm out,
Starting point is 00:12:17 I'm out. And someone's like a clothing line. He's like, I know distribution. I'm in. Gives them some money, connects them as a distribution channel and makes money. That's it. Okay? Lori Greiner, she's on there, and all these things come back. She's like, I can't do an infomercial, can't do an infomercial, can't do an infomercial. That's an infomercial product. She bids on it, plugs into the distribution channel, boom, explodes. Like, that's the key. Every shark on Shark Tank has a distribution channel they understand.
Starting point is 00:12:38 That's it. And so they sit in there, wait for an offer, they know they can plug into the distribution channel, and then they win. Okay? So the big secret in this whole game is building your own distribution channels. When you have that, you can sell whatever it is you want. You can sell seminars. You can sell events.
Starting point is 00:12:51 You can sell supplements. You can sell, like, whatever you want to sell, you can sell. But you have to have a distribution channel. Okay? Now, the internet, most distributions happen a couple ways. One is our email lists. How many of you guys have an email list right now? Good.
Starting point is 00:13:04 That's your distribution channel. My email list has saved me over a decade of stupid choices, right? How many of you guys have been saved by your email list at least once, right? It's a distribution channel. You create a product, create a service, send an email out to that list, and they make you some money. I remember when I first got this. This was probably, man, 13, 14 years ago now. Someone was explaining to me this concept of an email list. They said, look, if you have an email list of 100,000 people and you send an email selling like a $30 or $40 product,
Starting point is 00:13:30 it's like.001% buy. Like, that's like $8,000. And I was like, holy crap, I need one of those list things. That sounds awesome. And that was kind of key. Now, if you look at the metrics in math, this number people would say, and I think it's low, but if you have an email list, you should average, on average, at least $1 per name per month on your email list.
Starting point is 00:13:50 And that's on the low, low, low end if you're really bad at this, okay? So if you understand that, you know, what's my goal? If my goal is to make $100,000 a year, my goal is to make a million dollars a year, whatever that is, you just have to reverse engineer this. Okay, I need, if I have 10,000 people on my list, that's 10 grand a month, $120,000 a year. Boom, that's what I'm going to be focusing focus on how do I build that distribution, okay? If you want a million dollars a year, say, okay, I need 100,000 people on my list, that's $100,000 a month times 12 months, 1.2 million. Like, that's the key is the distribution channel. So you're building a list, okay? And again, this is $1 per name per month, it's like on the lower end, especially nowadays
Starting point is 00:14:20 when all this if we're tying in with social media and connection and vulnerability, those numbers go up. I've seen people 10, 15,15, $20 per month for a name. So this is like the low end if you're really, really bad at it. Is that exciting? It should get you guys pumped, okay? Number two now, which is growing rapidly, almost probably bigger so, is social lists, okay? And Messenger is one of the biggest ones. How many of you guys have been using Messengers in your business?
Starting point is 00:14:45 Yeah. Yes, this is a gift from the marketing gods, so I'm grateful for Messenger lists. So the question is, well, should I build an email list, or should I build a Messenger list? Like, which one's better? And the answer is, you need both.
Starting point is 00:14:57 Do not rely on one distribution channel in anything, okay? I promise you guys, Mark Zuckerberg does not like your business, and someday he will screw you over. Promise. How many of you guys have Zuckerberg already kicked you once or twice? Okay, I learned this the hard way back 15 years ago when Larry and Sergey at Google, I thought they were my friends, and I found out they don't actually need my money, no matter how much I give them, right? They kicked us. So one is like the scariest number. If you build nothing but a social
Starting point is 00:15:24 list, you can be in trouble. If you build nothing but email lists, you can be in us. So one is like the scariest number. If you build nothing but a social list, you can be in trouble. If you have nothing but email lists, you can be in trouble. So I like to have a blend of both. I'm going to show you guys a strategy we're using now where everyone who joins our list, they're being put on both instead of just one, okay? And I'm going to show you some really cool stuff. So seven to one is how do you build your distribution, okay? If you've read the Dotcom Secrets book, I talk about a concept that's very, very important. My mic's still live? When I come close to that, my mic dies.
Starting point is 00:15:51 All right. Basically, there's three types of traffic online. Who remembers this from Dotcom Secrets 101? Like three people? We're going to study hall. All right. Three types of traffic. Okay, the first type of traffic is traffic you control.
Starting point is 00:16:13 Okay? I don't own this traffic, but I control it. Zuckerberg owns traffic, right? So I can go to him like, hey, man, can I write you a check for some of your traffic? He's like, sure, where do you want to send it to? And I'm like, yeah, I control this traffic. I'm going to send it over here. And I can send it somewhere, right?
Starting point is 00:16:27 That's traffic I control. Any kind of ad you are paying for, you are controlling traffic. You do not own that, but you are controlling it. The second type of traffic is traffic that you don't control. Traffic you don't control is like, people just show up on your site.
Starting point is 00:16:40 How many of you guys have a blog and somehow people show up and you don't really know how, but like, they're there. You know some of that? That stuff's really nice. But I don't control it, so it's like, they show up and they're there, that's awesome, but like, I don't control it, right? A lot of times SEO, PR, things like that, where people are just showing up because of stuff you're doing, and it shows up, okay? Now, I see a lot of people talk about like, this is your business is buying ads. A lot of people are like, this is your business is buying ads. A lot of people are like this is your business doing free search and PR.
Starting point is 00:17:06 Like for me, it's like neither of these. These are like two really bad distribution channels. I want to build my own distribution channel. So all the traffic that I control and all the traffic I don't control all gets pushed into one thing where it becomes traffic that I own. The only reason why I give Zuckerberg money is so I can take clients off his platform and turn them into something that I own. So now I can own that distribution. Does that make sense? When I own the list, it's really cool. I can wake up one morning and be like, hey, I think we should do an event. Let's call it Funnel Hacking Live. Think anyone will show up? I don't know. I own some traffic. Let's throw some traffic. I can throw traffic. And all of a sudden, we find out if people want it or not. Sometimes they do. Sometimes
Starting point is 00:17:40 they don't. If I did a good what and how, then they buy it. And they're like, sweet, let's do more of this. But when you own traffic, you can make up offers, you can make up ideas. Like, it becomes, this game becomes really, really easy. Okay, so if you shift your mindset from like, I'm gonna buy ads, I'm doing free search, whatever, to like, okay, all the traffic that I can, I'm gonna try to get traffic I control
Starting point is 00:17:56 and traffic I don't control and turn it into traffic that I own. Because after you own it, then you can do anything you want with it. Okay, so that's my goal. Every time we're building up our companies, that's my goal. Converting traffic you control and don't control in traffic that you own.
Starting point is 00:18:08 Okay, so a couple ways. Number one, traffic you control, traffic you don't control in traffic you own. So I'm going to show you guys how we do this. So the first is traffic you control. Okay, so I control this. I'm buying it from wherever I'm buying ads from. I'm sending it somewhere. Typically, I'm sending that to some type of a funnel, right?
Starting point is 00:18:24 And they come to the funnel, they fill out a form. And usually when they fill out the form, I'm sending that to some type of a funnel, right? And they come to the funnel, they fill out a form, and usually when they fill the form, I get their email address. But we've got a new feature coming out in ClickFunnels that I will be showing you guys off tomorrow called opt-in bumps, where no longer do we just get their email, we get their email and their messenger. This is when we're doing it on our two-step order forms. And this is when we're doing all of our opt-ins now. Yeah. It's really exciting. What's up everybody. This is Russell Brunson. I've got something really cool for you today from my friend, Taylor Wells. And 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
Starting point is 00:19:04 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,
Starting point is 00:19:16 a few years ago, JPMorgan 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
Starting point is 00:19:41 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.
Starting point is 00:20:52 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 got to 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
Starting point is 00:21:23 only $25. So don't stress. It's not an expensive test at all. But you get 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 Gs, working genius, two Gs in the middle, workinggenius.com. And then use promo code secrets, S-E-C-R-E-T-S at checkout. Get 25% off. But then go take the test.
Starting point is 00:21:42 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.

Starting point is 00:22:10 So all the traffic I control, if I'm buying any kind of ad, I'm not sending it random. I'm sending it to a funnel. And on that funnel, I'm trying to get email and messenger. Now I've got two distribution channels. So if one of them breaks off,
Starting point is 00:22:20 I still have a business. I've got both. Okay. So for us now, everything we're pushing through, we're trying to get both of those things at the exact same time. Okay. And like I said, tomorrow we'll show you guys all the new, I think we have 25 new things to show you in ClickFunnels.
Starting point is 00:22:30 That's one of them you're going to love. Yeah. Okay. Traffic I don't control now is some of these other ads and stuff I'm running. So this is, I want to show you something cool that we learned recently that was like a big aha for us. Okay, so this is an ad we created. I'm just going to show you like five seconds of it because I don't want to show you the whole thing. Hey, my name is Russell Brunson, and this book, my new book, is literally on fire. Okay, so I lit another book on fire. It was awesome, right? And I pushed people, like, go to expertsecrets.com to buy the book.
Starting point is 00:23:00 And that was working, but I was like, is there a better way? And then I was listening to the radio, and my man, Brandon Bouchard, I heard a radio ad, and all of a sudden I had like this light bulb moment that was insane. How many of you guys have heard of Brandon's radio ad? Okay, how many of you guys, when you heard that, you started freaking out and jumping on like a little girl like I did? Only you? Okay, and you. All right, a couple of you guys were excited like me. So listen to this ad.
Starting point is 00:23:19 This is the older one, so the 1-800 number doesn't work anymore. But listen to the concept. When you listen to it, I'm going to explain why this is such a huge breakthrough for me. So listen to this. Hi, I'm Brendan Burchard. Some people call me the world's highest paid motivational trainer, and some people call me crazy because I've just authorized a nationwide giveaway of my recent New York Times bestseller, The Motivation Manifesto.

That's B-O-O-K, the number 10 to 99000, or go to motivationbook.com. Message and data rates may apply. All right.
Starting point is 00:24:29 So check this out. When you text that to the number, again, I think his phone number is dead, but this is an older ad. When you text it to it, all it did is it took and it shot you a link to his funnel. Okay, now the reason why this is exciting, prior to Brendan doing this, guess how radio ads ran? You have a radio ad run that you have a whole team of salespeople, hundreds of people that answer the calls as fast as you can, try to order, try to sell, it's like crazy.
Starting point is 00:24:51 Literally let go of 100 plus people, now we text them a link to the funnel. Okay? The next night after I saw this, I was online watching infomercials, because that's what nerds do, and I'm watching infomercials, and I see this supplement offer, and the guy has this whole supplement offer, and instead of saying, call this number to talk to a sales rep to buy a supplement, to text this number to whatever, I'm like, what? I text it, boom, she's being linked to his funnel. I was like, we just took humans out of this whole sales process all together. Like, how magic is that? And I'm like, how can we use that with what we're doing? So we started shifting our ads to
Starting point is 00:25:19 this same concept, where basically, instead of me saying, here's my free book, go to expertssecrets.com to go get a free copy. I say, if it's Facebook, here's my free ad, or excuse me, my free ad. Here's my free book. If you want a free copy of it, message me on Facebook and I'll send you a link to it. So I messaged him on Facebook
Starting point is 00:25:37 and now this new feature, since I click funnels here tomorrow, it comes back, says, sweet, you want a free copy of the book? What address should I send it to? I type my email address and boom, now I'm on Facebook and on my email list. I got them both. Okay, so now all my ads turn into something that are building both of my things as opposed to just one. Okay, so these are some of the things that we're doing that are insane.
