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, what's up? This is Russell Brunson.

And I hope you don't mind, but I want to brainstorm an idea and a concept that I'm playing with in my head that I think may be the greatest thing since sliced bread. But I'm not positive. But I think it might be. So I'm working on two of them right now. So I will have practical, real-world data back be. So I'm working on two of them right now. So I will have practical real world data back in a week or two or a couple of weeks. But right now I'm in the brainstorming phase and thought I would share here on the podcast. So the big question is this,

how are entrepreneurs like us who didn't cheat and take on venture capital, we're 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 answer. My name is Russell Brunson and welcome to Marketing Secrets. Hey everybody, Hope you're great. So I keep trying to figure out like, you know, how to, how to increase everything, right? What's the next step? What's the next, the next thing to, to grow our business. And with quick funnels, it's, it gets harder all the time because like we've tapped out of all of them, the little things, right? Like if you're trying to go to a company from zero to a million,

there's a whole bunch of low-hanging fruits easy to do. But trying to go from 150 million to a billion, it's different. It's not like, oh, we need to create one more ad or one more front-end funnel. The little things of that don't drive the needle big enough at scale. And so that's where I try to figure out

different ways to drive things at scale. So there's big things we're working on. There's like internationalization, right? Like, like doing, doing, uh, you know, all the books, different languages and the software, different languages, and those things we're working on that'll, that'll be big needle drivers, right? There's in fact, Oh, did you guys listen to the Joe Rogan interview with Mr. Beast? Kind of fascinating. But one of the biggest things he said is that the way they grew their business, the fastest or the biggest was taking all their YouTube videos and then like translating them to different languages and having the entire channel in different,

different languages, which is so cool. And so we're doing the books right now, and then we're going to be doing it to, you know, all the other things. So a lot of really cool, fun, exciting things happen in there. But, um, anyway, this is one that I'm excited to try. So this, this is something anybody who's got a lot of content could also try and test out and things like that. So what I'm like the working hypothesis in my head, and I have a couple of names for, I'm calling this like internally, I'm calling this the funnel wrapper, but it'll probably shift to like an actual sexy name later. But as of right now, it's called the funnel wrapper. But right now, as you know, like we have funnels.

We have a book funnel and webinar funnel and things. And so we drive ads to a funnel. They hit the funnel. They go through the process and then it ends, right? There's a beginning and an end. And then we push them to webinar funnel. And so we're always kind of like we have our big email list. We have traffic. We have all these things.

We're pushing them and they're bouncing into these different funnels going through the process. And then it kind of ends and we start back over. And maybe we have ascension and value lad kind of ends and then we start back over. And maybe we have, you know, ascension and value ladders and moving from step one to step two and they, all those things are great, a good marketing automation. This is kind of like, I want to like take a step back and like, and how do we, how do we like really change the needle, really move something? And so I had this idea and we're testing it in two different places. One of them is, and this will probably be live by the time you guys hear this, you could see it. So if you go

to fhlsecrets.com, fhlsecrets.com, this is an example of me creating this funnel wrapper or this universe that's wrapping a whole bunch of amazing content into the sales gauntlet or something. I don't even know. And so the principle is like we're trying to sell more Funnel Hacking Live tickets, right? So I have, obviously, FunnelHackingLive.com. We push people to there. They register and they can buy tickets, right? So we drive emails there.

We drive ads there. I do webinars there. A whole bunch of stuff happens there, right? And people buy tickets there. And so I'm like, well, I want to be able to talk about it more often because with selling events, it's just got to be in front of people's minds all the time. And so how do I get them to want to keep thinking about it and talking about it? And how can I keep bringing it up without being like the annoying pest Russell, right? Like, yeah, Russell, we know Funnel Alchemist is coming.

Thanks for the 500th email. How do I put people into a universe where they're excited to get the emails and all that kind of stuff? And so this came on the back of, for the Funnel Builder Certification Program, I've been recording all the modules on summit funnels and squeeze page funnels and survey funnels and just all different funnel types and all sorts of stuff, right? So my mind was kind of in the middle of this whole thing. And during, as soon as I finished recording, I went actually, from there I went and went hiking

for four days with my kids. I had no internet access, so I just thought, was thinking these things in my head. And so this funnel wrapper principle is kind of the output of all those things, right? So here's the principle of the funnel wrapper. So someone go to like, again, fhlsecrets.com and on there it's like, hey, if you opt in, you can bring and give you 10 of the best presentations of Funnel Hacking Live. And these presentations are like, they're amazing, they're rare, they're whatever. It's some really good hook to get them to register, right?

So after they register, they enter into this universe. And so this universe has an email list that's not coming from Russell Brunson because I want to put people through a lot of different universes. And so instead of just having it be 20 emails from Russell a day, they're getting, there's like, you enter FHLsecrets.com, the email's coming from FHLsecrets. That way you know where it's coming from, it's very specific, and it's this universe you've entered into, right?

So they opt in there, and then what happens is we kind of do a little mini product launch wrapped on, or tied to content, right? So for example, we have the FHL, if I'm not going to have documentaries, so the very first thing they do is they get the documentary. And we're planning on using DeadlineFunnels.com, the software, to make it so that after they opt in, they have 72 hours to go and watch the documentary, and the documentary expires.

So there's this built-in product launch happening with an opening, a middle, and a close. So the first email is like, hey, go watch the documentary. It's going to be here for 72 hours. Second one's like, hey, tomorrow goes away. And third email is like, it's gone. That was your shot to listen to, right? So it's a limited product launch. And the documentary is content, but then obviously it's talking about FHL and it pushes people to go get a ticket to FHL, right? Then it transitions. Now I pick a presentation from Funnel Hacking Live. So let's say I pick Prince EA's presentation. And so now that they finished the first content product launch inside this little universe, inside the funnel wrapper, now it's like, hey, here's one of my favorite presentations from Funnel Hacking Live. It's

from Prince EA. It's going to be live for 72 hours. So they go to the presentation on the page. There's an intro for me saying, hey, this is who the video is by. This is why I had him speak. This is why it's so cool. And they show the actual presentation. And when the presentation ends, I come back on and I can do a stack in the clothes to sell tickets, right? And so now we have 72 hours to go watch a Prince of Ye. So they have an opening like, hey, new video's live. Hey, it's going down tomorrow. Hey, we're closing card. The thing disappears, right? So now there's an open and close, urgency, scarcity, and then it disappears. And then the next day we open a new one.

And so we're going to have 10 presentations happening in this thing. And so every three days there's a mini product launch. It's not tied to like hardcore pushing, like an offer, but hardcore pushing a content that expires and it disappears, right? And so we look at this whole thing, people opt in, but now I have 30 days to give them three days of basically launching three content pieces that are wrapped with a pitch that pushes people now to the actual funnel.

So someone does this, basically they opt in, and it gives me 30 chances to present them funnel hacking live tickets without them feeling like i'm presenting in funnel hacking live tickets right and so that's the gauntlet or the funnel wrapper or the universe or whatever dramatic demonstration i've got a dozen names i keep using interchangeably but that's the principle right so think about this with all different like things like content stuff you have right i was thinking about the summits i've done in the past like we did the 30 you have right i was thinking about the summits i've done in the past like we did the 30 days summit right and 30 days summit's amazing but right now

if you go to 30days.com and you register basically day one you get the first five presentations day two you get the next five day three you get the next five it expires um or excuse me first 10 20 30 so it's like three days of promotion the ends i was like what if we took all these recordings instead dripped it out to be like this product launch where we figure out what's the core offer we want to sell in the back of 30 days. So maybe it's the One Funnel Away Challenge or maybe it's ClickFunnels Trial

or YourFirstFunnel.com or whatever the next thing we want to sell is, right? And so then they enter this universe. They register for 30days.com. After they register, then boom, it's like, hey, here's the first presentation. Let's say it's Trey Llewellyn's. And so we go and we show them Trey Llewellyn's presentation. We explain it.

Or I video me explaining why I picked it. And then boom, it shows Trey's presentation. And afterwards, I come back on and I do a stack on the clothes, present, pitching, whatever the core offers for 30 days, right? And then again, 72 hours, boom, boom, boom. And that becomes the first one. And the next presentation is, say, Liz Benny's. And that happens for three days.

And the next one is, and each of these content pieces, now instead of just being a typical summit model, they get three emails, three different days of training, it disappears. Now it's 30 trainings that are all wrapped over three days. So that's 90 days of me trainings that are all wrapped over three days that's nine what's that 90 days of me dripping the most amazing content of all time that are anxiously excited for and then wrapped around that content is the offer for whatever the front end thing is i'm trying to actually pitch and promote and that just keeps happening so now also this this content i created

this is underperforming now now becomes this 90-day gauntlet or funnel wrapper or something where it's just insane value insane things things, expiring content happening every single day. Email's coming from 30days.com, 30days.com and not from russellbrunson.com, right? Or from Russell Brunson. So it's like it's only a universe of content and product launch and expiring and all that kind of stuff. And I have a million things I could do that with, right? And I'm sure you do too. Like how much content have you created? How many podcast episodes?

Like every podcast episode should be this content that's wrapped in a pitch back to whatever the core thing is, right? Anyway, so yeah. I feel like this is like a way to wrap your entire value ladder in content that gets, I don't know, who knows? So this is the working hypothesis and the working name. I don't even know if this name is any good. But like I said, we'll be testing it out. The first one that will be going live is fhlsecrets.com. So I'm assuming it'll be live by the time you guys get this. Go check it out. Let me know what you think. If it works good,

you'll notice I will be doing a lot more of these funnel wrappers that bring people into these content universes with expiring content that pushes people into the front end funnels and the goal of it obviously is to provide value warm the customer up and then get them

to where we need them to go so anyway I'm excited I hope that this helps at least stimulate thought in your minds of cool ways to increase how much money
