Travel moves us. Hey, what's up, everybody? This is Russell Brunson. I want to welcome you back to the Marketing Secrets Podcast. I want to share with you something really, really cool that I heard today that I'm still sitting here kind of in shock and in awe. And I think we'll give you guys an aha moment. So with that said, let's cue the cute thing song and I will be right back. 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 answers. My name is Russell Brunson and welcome to Marketing Secrets. All right, so as the time I'm recording this, I'm in the middle of this seven-day live launch, the Funnelology launch. Hopefully a lot of you guys had a chance to watch that. We started on January 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. I'm doing three days of live training, and then we're making it off at the end for people to get the recordings from the training and the transcripts and a bunch of other stuff

when they get their ticket to Funnel Hockey Live. So that's kind of what's happening, and it's been really, really fun. But yesterday I did the very first session. It was three hours long. I topped my face off. It was awesome. We streamed to both Facebook and both YouTube. And then when we got done, we came off and we're looking at all the stats and stuff. We had between two platforms, about 5,000 people watching. It's like 2,500 on one, 2,500 on the other, plus a bunch of people on the ClickFunnels homepage.

So anyway, it's kind of cool. And then what's amazing is that afterwards, YouTube and Facebook shows you how much time was consumed or how much video time. It was cool that they don't do it like, hey, it was an average of 22 minutes. I mean, they probably show that stat as well, but they say, look, of the 5,000 people that watched it, if you took like, this guy watched for five minutes, this guy watched for an hour, this guy watched for three hours, this guy watched for 10 minutes, and you put it like, stack that time together. In the three hours I was on stage, 1.2 years of video time was consumed. 1.2 years.

Can you imagine that? 1.2 years worth of time was consumed while it was live. And then it was online for another 12 hours afterwards, which increased as much. I'm guessing probably at least a year and a half, if not more, consumed. That was day number one. They were pulling these offline. Day number two is about to start, and then day number three. Let's just say one and a half years of viewing time happened yesterday, and probably another

year and a half today, and a year and a half tomorrow. When all is said and done, we're at three, four, four and a half, wait, one, two, three, four, yeah, four and a half, almost five years. Let's just say five to round it up. Five years of viewing time was consumed during this launch. Now I'm telling you this because it's interesting. This is the magic of leverage. This is why we do what we do, right? Like let's say I wanted to be a teacher and let's say I wanted to have a huge impact on the world. And so let's say I go and I get my teaching degree, I get a job at a good university and

let's say I start teaching kids and I teach a class three days a week and there's 50 kids each thing, you know, and I'm teaching an hour a day. So if you start looking at it that way, it's like, okay, let's say there's 50 kids. I teach an hour. It says 50 hours times three days a week, 150 hours. How long would it take for me to teach five years worth of content, right? If you hook it back to back to back. I mean, it would take me a decade or two or three, right? Yeah, that's how traditional education is done. That's how most people get their messages out.

That's how most people teach and educate. If we shift this mindset to how do we go live? How do we share a message with tons of people? Again, over this week, we'll have five years worth of education, right? Unless I wanted to go mentor someone one on one, like, you know, that's me spending five and a half years with somebody to get the impact that I was able to get in a couple of days. Um, anyway, it was just like one of those aha moments for me of just like, Oh my gosh, like my, my message can go so much further today because of these tools

we have and these, these crazy things. Um, the seven day live launch concept alone is going to get five years worth of my training out into the market. And, uh, you know, and, and it's just, it's, it's, it's exciting and it's fascinating. So I'm telling you this because, um, I want you guys to understand like how much of an impact you can have on people. That's why these, these tools, these trainings is marketing, all the stuff we're doing and teaching and talking about is so important because the impact that the little old me or little you can have now in the world is huge. Five years worth of education in three days.

Again, back in the day, we were taking traditional educator, how long? Years, lifetimes to do what we did in a weekend. And the same thing is true for you. And so I hope it gets you excited. I hope it gets you more passionate about your mission and more passionate about your job and your ability and your calling to go out there and share it because you can have an impact. I'm thinking about teachers, I don't know, you know, Aristotle, Socrates, like the early philosophers, right? Like what you're able to do in a weekend, they couldn't do in a lifetime, right? And think about the impact that those guys had on their spheres of influence. It'd been huge, right?

And the impact you can have on your sphere is even bigger, right? It's these little tiny hinges that swing such huge doors. And so that's why it's so important and so vital for all of us to be building our platform, building our following, doing training, doing stuff, putting our message, putting our thoughts, putting our ideas out there. Because we're not careful. The opposite of our ideas, the ideas we don't teach or talk about or don't agree with are being published out there, right? And they're being consumed by millions of people. It's like, if we're not out there doing our best to suck the attention away from the negative messages and suck our attention away from things that are

destructive for people and give them light and truth and hope and belief in things that do matter, that are important. Like that's, that's, that's a, that's a pretty powerful calling. And all of us have been called to do that. And so it is not just a way for you guys to make money. It is something where you can literally change people's lives. I hope you see that. I hope you understand that. It'd be fun to actually go back to my podcast episodes and start, you know, look at it. Okay, we got 10,000 downloads times 12 minutes equals how much time times how many episodes? Like, it'd be fun to kind of look at that and try to figure out how many years worth of content has been consumed through the podcast as well.

But I think it's just fascinating and interesting and kind of cool. So anyway, I want to share it with you guys today because it's been on my mind and I just thought it was exciting and got me, got me excited to share more. I'm going live again in about 90 minutes and hopefully I'll get another five or six years worth of view time in, um, and sucking that time away from the distractions that aren't serving people and aren't empowering them and, and, uh, giving them the tools that they need to, to have the life they want to live. So, all right. Thanks, you guys. Appreciate you all. And we'll talk to you guys very, very soon. Hey, this is Russell again.
