The Russell Brunson Show - Rapid-Fire Strategy Session: 24 Q&As in One Hour

Episode Date: August 21, 2024

In our first Selling Online Event, I tackled an intense rapid-fire Q&A session, answering over 80 unique questions from audience members in under 5 hours. This was hours of non-stop insights, light-bulb moments and epiphanies, with an average of 3.5 minutes per question! While attendees who wanted to “Ask Russell A Question” were required to pay a premium on top of their ticket price, I'm giving you a sneak peek into the event that I believe will set the standard in the industry for years to come - SellingOnline.com. At the start of this session, I dive into the key takeaways from rooms where I’ve spent a high price-point to hear the opinion of my mentors, so that hopefully you as the audience can walk away with actionable insights you can apply immediately. These segment of just 24 rapid-fire questions cover a wide range of topics, including: - Launching communities - Choosing the right webinar platforms - Mastering persuasion techniques - Perfecting offer positioning - Crafting non-profit strategies - Getting started on your personal goals - And far more topics packed into this single 1-hour snippet! It's rare to get my perspective on such a diverse array of questions, and I hope that the lessons you'll learn might just be the spark you've been waiting to hear. So join myself and facilitator Chris Cameron as we jump in and answer the top questions on my audience’s minds!

Travel moves us. What's up, everybody? This is Russell Brunson, and welcome back to the Marketing Secrets Podcast. Right now, I'm actually in Sedona, Arizona, on top of, I don't know what this is called. It's like an apartment house thing that we're staying at for my Atlas Mastermind. So my Atlas Mastermind group is our highest level group inside the Inner Circle. People spend up to $250,000 a year to be part of this group. And we rented out this entire, it's like a, I don't know, it's like 30 condo things.

Each one's its own little house. And we have the whole resort booked out and we're having the mastermind meeting here this whole week. And it's insane. We just got done day number one. It was the most beautiful, coolest things ever. And on top of each of these little houses, there's a spot where there's like a bed and a fire pit and like look up and look at the stars. So that's what we're doing right now. We're on top of this little house,

looking at the stars in Sedona, Arizona. Um, anyway, it's been an amazing day, but I wanted to shoot you guys a quick message because, uh, as one of my faithful podcast listeners, I was going to hook you up with really cool things and you may or may not know, but last week, um, we did an event and it was something we put together. It was just something different and exciting and unique. Um, we launched it and it, um, the funnel is literally the highest converting funnel I've had in probably five or six years. Um, and then the event was a, it turned out to be a four day event. It was a three day event. We're playing nine to five, teaching people how to sell online, how to

increase your sales and everything from like story selling to breaking false beliefs, to rewriting the perfect webinar, to the wish funnels to use, how to get traffic. Like it was like one of the coolest, anyway, one of the coolest events I've ever done. Um, and the feedback afterwards was insane. In fact, we have 450 people have submitted full-blown testimonials after the event about how great it was. And it's awesome. So good that we're actually gonna be rerunning this.

I'm gonna do the event live again at the end of September. So if you wanna attend the next one, or we'll live again, if you go to sellingonline.com, you can register. And the event's 100 bucks for a three-day experience. And then what we did, you'll see it in the funnel.

So again, you should go to Fun me because if you want to see one of my highest converting funnels of all time, you can go to selling online.com and see it. So number one, go funnel hack and go look at it. But number two, the upsell and thank you page, um, uh, is basically a VIP day. So day four is a VIP day where everyone comes on. And, um, uh, basically for $197, people can come and they can watch the VIP day. And then for $497, they can come and they can actually ask a question. And what's crazy again, I didn't know until we got into it, but we had 144 people who paid to get a question answered. And so we're opening day VIP day four, and we're looking at all the questions.

And I was like doing the math, like 144 questions. If each person gets three minutes, um, it ends up being like, I don't know, you can just figure the math on that. If we didn't have any breaks or, you know, if it's just back to back to back, um, ends up being like, I don't know, 12 hours or something. And so we shifted it to give everyone two minutes. I was like, so nervous. I'm like, am I going to be able to like have someone ask a question and get answered in this spot where like they leave fired up and excited. Like, I don't know if that's even possible. I'm like, but we have to do it. Worst case scenario, we'll do a second VIP day. I don't know, something, but like, let's just try to do

it. So we started at 9am. We opened it up and basically started doing QA. And so every person who had paid for the upgrade, um, they're all in huge zoom wall. I saw their faces and they all raised their hands. And we did the first person, the second and the third, we put a two minute countdown clock. We're ready to set, go. And so they'd ask the questions fast. I could, I would try to answer as quick as I could. And we did it for five and a half hours, which is nuts. We stopped once for a five minute bathroom break in the middle, but then we skipped, went through lunch, kept going. Cause like, there's no time for lunch.

We're not going to get through everybody. And it takes five and a half hours to get through everybody. And it was one of the, I don't know. I think it was funny. Cause there's some people in the way they go, only get two minutes to ask the question by the time it was done. Everyone's like, Holy cow. That was insane. And people watching it were just like, that was one of the

coolest things. Like we got to see a hundred plus questions get answered. And like everyone, like you could not be in that room and not get one or two or five or 20 ideas from just listening to everybody else. Questions can answer like things that anyway, a lot of people actually didn't ask their question. They came on like, uh, you guys, you completely more than answer all my questions. I got nothing else. I'm like, cool. Thanks. Uh, see you tomorrow. You know, and anyway, it was insane. So obviously I'm not going to post the five hour Q and a for you guys. Cause that's insane. Um, but I thought it'd be fun to show you guys some of it. Um, and obviously everyone who paid for the full Q and a, you know, they paid $197 to go in to watch it and be part of the live experience was really cool.

But I wanted to give you guys a glimpse of it because number one, it was really fun and really cool. Number two, hopefully it's a couple of your questions experience was really cool, but I wanted to give you guys a glimpse of it because number one, it was really fun and really cool. Number two, hopefully gets a couple of your questions answered. Number three, hopefully inspires you to go to sellingonline.com, register for this next event, pay upgrade to get a question answered. And then, um, and then come to the VIP day at the end of September and come ask your question, which will be a lot of fun. So anyway, it was a lot of fun. So anyway, that's kind of the backstory of this episode. And what we're gonna do is we're going to let you guys, uh, in on the, I don't know, somewhere from 45 minutes, an hour worth of fun. So anyway, that's kind of the backstory of this episode. And what we're going to do is we're going to let you guys in on, I don't know, somewhere from 45 minutes to an hour worth of Q&As.

So you do math, you're going to hear 25, 30, maybe 40. I don't know how many questions we get in that time. We kind of do cross-sections of different questions. I thought it would be fun for you guys and hopefully give you some inspiration and ideas and help you get unstuck. But if you want to learn how to master selling, one-to-many selling, like not one-to-one. I'm not a one-to-one sales trainer.

I don't do that. But if you want to learn how to do one-to-many selling. I'm not a one-to-one sales trainer. I don't do that. But if you want to learn how to do one-to-many selling, that's what this event's all about. So again, if you go to sellingonline.com, what a good domain name, huh? Sellingonline.com. You go there for a hundred bucks, you can register for the next three-day event. If you want to buy the upgrade VIP day and get your question answered, that's an option too, but you don't have to. Either way, I hope you join us for the next event. So with that said, I'm going to leave this here. I'm going to jump over to Q&A and hope you guys enjoy a section of the Q&A from our VIP day at this last Selling Online event. Thanks so much, you guys. I appreciate you, and let's jump right into some questions.

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. I've been doing this for a long, long, long time. I remember the very first time I joined a mastermind group was Dan Kennedy's. I paid $25,000 to be in this group. Dan Kennedy wasn't there. It was Bill Glazer.

Anyway, I got there, and I remember I had my moment. I got on stage. You have a chance to ask your question. I remember I was so nervous and excited. I had my moment. I got on stage. You have a chance to like ask your question. I remember I was so nervous and excited. I asked my question and it was like, it was fine. But what I realized I didn't understand is that the value I got was literally listening to everybody else's questions. That was infinity times more valuable to me than anything else.

And as I've been running masterminds now for a decade where we bring people, they pay anywhere from, um, we have 25,000, our mastermind, a 50,000, 150,000 and $250,000 one. The consensus consistently every single time is every single person's like, I got more value by listening to other people's questions. I did actually getting my question answered. Um, and so that's the biggest thing to look at this. Like, yes, a bunch of you guys have a chance to answer a question. I'm pumped for it.

I'm here all day. We, um, are ready to rock and roll. I told my wife, like, I'm, we're going until I pass out or until we get all 144 questions answered. So I'm here for that. But just realize that like a lot of times the values are going to come from like listening to the other questions and getting the ideas for other stuff. Um, and so, yeah, that's kind of game plan. Um, sometimes I may elaborate on an answer where I'm like, I'm going to go longer. Cause I know that it'll serve everybody. It's like, Oh, this is very specific. I go next to two minutes, three minutes. It's going to help even more people.

Um, and sometimes it'll be faster. So we'll just kind of go play it by ear and see see how it all goes but i'm i'm excited for today if i can remember my living room hanging out with you guys so i'm gonna be super comfortable i hope you're okay with that i told russell i said our first question is gonna appear by the end of the day we're gonna be like totally like leaning way back we got our microphones on too that might not be easy all right so should we are you ready for question number one let's go should we get on the clock okay all right yep we're ready for this, everybody. So this is our very first question. We have Kim Irwin coming on.

Two minutes to ask. Well, it looks like there's two people there. So they will ask their question. You guys should be unmuted. The time is yours. Kim, ask your question. Good to see you, by the way. Russell, this is my husband, Sean.

We're doing this together. We are very involved with SOS. We love SOS. We are actually, Justin has probably told you about us. We are very involved with SOS. We love SOS. We are actually, Justin has probably told you about us. We were working on a corporate initiative with that. And our big question for you is this, since we are working with companies, how would you drive traffic? We're trying to figure out how to capture the attention of companies on a larger scale. Would you do webinars, live events? We're trying to capture... Yeah. What would you recommend? Yeah. Great question. So look at this. You look at the companies that? Like, we're trying to capture. Yeah. What would you recommend?

Yeah. Great question. So look at this. You look at the companies that have done what you're trying to do, right? It's like FranklinCovey, Tony Robbins, and Dean are launching a version right now. So you have to understand, like, when you're trying to get a company to buy something that goes out to a whole bunch of people, it's tough to do a webinar or something because the people, like, the decision makers aren't necessarily the end users of the thing, right? Decision makers might be the HR person, might be whatever. So for me, it's like if I knew what that was, I would go back to like Dream 100, like Chet Holmes style.

If you read the Ultimate Sales Machine, right? It's like you're figuring out here's the 10, 20, 30, 100 companies that would be dream ideal where, again, you get the one person, whoever the decision maker is the, the decision makers in the company, if you get that one person becomes, you know, a hundred or 500 sales or a thousand sales, whatever. And that's how I would start focusing on it and literally going to LinkedIn, finding those people's names and then start creating a campaign where I'm like aggressively targeting them from direct mail, the phone calls to all this kind of stuff. And then you can get those people onto a webinar, but it's different. It's going to be really hard to go buy ads, to target the person who's the decision maker inside of a company, right? It'd be more so on my side,

it would be like a LinkedIn play dream 100 aggressively attacking those people to get their attention. And then from there, it could be a phone call, could be getting them on a presentation. Um, but that's kind of the way I would, I would start targeting it. Perfect. Thank you so much. Thank you. Excellent. That was awesome. Yeah. Minutes. We got it. This is going to be the hardest thing though. Russell is, is having your answers in time because you have so much that you can elaborate on. But I think you'll have time throughout the day as these questions come and say, I can build on that. All right, Miles, who do we got next? Yeah, next up we have Anuma Earth.

Anuma, good to see you. Hey, what is your question for Russell? Hey, my question is I have a $97 membership, a 12K certification program, and a 15K mastermind. I wanted to know what is the number one thing I should focus on to scale to 10 million the fastest. Very cool. And I signed up yesterday. Awesome. We're excited to be working with you. Welcome to David.

Thank you. So there's a couple of ways to look at the way I look at it. Like I had, before we launched click by click phones, we had, uh, I had a $10,000 offer and a $25,000 offer. And we, we did well, like it was growing, but it wasn't until like click phones came out and we had a thousand dollar offer that we were doing these webinars every single week. And it was consistent. It was growing. And it was like, it was growing this base of fans really, really big. Right. And so what happened though, that I wasn't expecting is that by doing the $1,000 offer, all these people started popping up to the $10,000 and the $25,000. Almost overnight, those things got filled up to capacity like that.

It didn't come from me driving traffic to the $10,000 and the $25,000 offer. It was having the $1,000 offer that I keep driving more and more people to. What happens is you get more customers. It builds up anticipation. It builds up that pressure. People are seeing you serve. And all of a sudden, that audience, now it pops up to the next level. In fact, if you look at what we're doing right now with the school group, right?

The goal of the school group is to have this really cool group that we're providing tons and tons of value to get more people to want to start popping up because this is so valuable. So if it was me, I would focus on the, you said, $97 a month offer. Is that what it was? I would make like a, do a webinar selling a month offer. Is that what it was? I would just do a webinar selling a year-old version of that, so 12 months for $997 or whatever, make a really solid offer there, and focus all the ads and the effort there, knowing that's going to build this huge groundswell of people now who are then going to want to naturally send up to the other ones. And that's what I would be focusing at. Okay. Thank you. Which I think is perfect, too, that you signed up for fountainhead as well. That's what we're going to go through is focusing on

how to build that presentation to do like an annual product for that monthly membership. So you're in the right place. Awesome. Awesome. Thank you. Very cool. Cool. All right, Miles, who else we got? Awesome. So first off, I will pronounce names wrong, so please forgive me in advance. But our next one up is Kay Nuokorada. Hi, Kay. How are you? Hi. How are you? Good morning.

Doing great. Can you hear me okay? Yeah, we hear you. What's your question for Russell? My question is, so I just recently found out about Russell like two weeks ago and Myron, so I'm completely new to this. And I'm still struggling kind of, uh, identifying my perfect avatar. So from there, I also wanted to know what would be my top priorities. Um, knowing that I'm

starting completely from ground zero. Very cool. First off, congratulations on finding us early. Cause some people find us like three years later, like I went through all this crap before I found like what was real. So, uh, happy for you. So the biggest thing, um, I always tell people like traditionally who your dream customer is, is you five years ago, right? Cause you figured out some results, some kind of process you're having success with. And so you're coming back to that person. So for me, it always starts with like me going back five years ago, like where was that five years ago? For me, for example, like whenever I'm creating an offer, I think about, um, when I was a kid, everyone called me rusty before I didn't know my name was Russell. So I was like in second grade. So, um, but I was as 12 year old rusty, I was obsessed with,

with this stuff. I was, I was ordering junk mail. I was reading it. Like, and like, I was obsessed with how to make money when I was a 12 year old. Right. So I always think about like 12 year old rusty. So that's who I'm, whenever I'm writing an offer or creating something like when I was doing this event, I'm like, what would get 12 year old rusty to want to go buy this thing? Right. What would the offer where he would like go beg his mom and dad so my parents who i go beg them for their credit card because i had to have this thing and that's the lens i create every every landing page through every offer we're creating and so if you have i would think about that like like what were the things five years ago you were like you would have been great like i want i need this this is this solved all my problems right now

and starting there and then from there it's like i would go start finding some of those people and start serving them uh just for free. Even like go find someone and say, hey, this is the result I can help you get. Let me start helping you. And like get some reps in like actually serving someone to help them get that result. And then from there, you get the confidence like, okay, now I know how to do this. Now I can turn this into a framework. I can turn it into an offer.

I can turn it into something else. That's how we get started is really jumping in and start serving some people and getting that confidence and belief in yourself from there. Awesome. Thank you so much. Great question. Awesome. All right, Miles, let's keep it going. All right. Up next, we have Kit Peng. Hey, Kit, how are you? I'm good. I've been so excited for this for the whole entire year.

I'm like, yeah. Yeah, let's have it. What's your question? So the bottom line question is basically, Russell, how would you sell this or the marketing or the funnel? Let me give a little bit of context. So I help executives overcome public speaking anxiety. So we have a product. When they finish watching a presentation, it's a lecture.

Afterwards, they break free from public speaking anxiety. There's no practice, no working on speaking skills. It's basically a lecture. So how would you sell that? Do you charge for lectures or is the lecture free right now? We charge for it. But it's been very far-fetched for people in the past because it is just a lecture.

Most people don't even want to pay for it because it's very far-fetched. Very cool. I love it. So the actual lecture is the tactics to break free from the thing, right? So I was looking at the tactics for what you're selling. The strategy is what sells the tactics, right? So I would do a presentation that literally is just like how to overcome your public speaking fears and anxieties,

and have them registered for web class or for whatever. And I don't think it needs to be super long. I might even structure more as I guess the tons of the price point, but potentially even a VSL or something, but you're going through the strategies that explain here's the, what, this is how it works. Um, and then you have from there, you're selling them. Okay. Sign up for the presentation, then go through and you tactically deliver it. And if you have a high success rate, you can always look at like risk reversal, how to reverse the risk. Like for example, funnel funnel hacking live right now if you look at the sales page people can go

and they put their credit card in they attend the entire thing and then after if it works then they pay we call that an invisible funnel you can do something like that structurally off that way where it's like hey this works we know it works for everybody if you don't believe us like test it out ahead of time go sign up go through the experience and then we'll build your card afterwards if it works and so those are a couple a couple quick ideas what do you chart what's the price point for the lecture uh 997 okay yeah i think i think doing a webinar selling it would be be and that's how i would i would i mean obviously i'm a webinar guy i would tackle with the webinar i think that would that would work and just focusing on the strategy behind the lecture and then obviously you're

selling the the experience of the of the lecture for them. Got it. Okay. Thank you. I got more questions, but no time left. Thanks, Kit. Thank you. Who else we got, Miles? All right. Up next is Karms Fung. All right. Hey, Russell. Hey. Super excited. 1am over here in Sydney. We'll be seeing you for funnel hacking life too what's your question looking for clarity on my one thing so uh nlp trainer 15 years accountant got financially independent at 34 should i lead with the nlp thing or go more broad um currently getting traffic from my personal development book club which has had celebrity authors coming in but that traffic's kind of drying out so how should i best pitch that i find that i'm bringing awareness to nlp but people tend to be going to my competitors oh yeah um yeah i mean nlp is like i love nlp because it's like it's this unique thing it's like a black box it, but they don't really understand it. And there's a lot of intrigue and curiosity behind

it. What I would try to do is like, um, it's like, what's your version of NLP that's different. That's interesting that like, because again, it's like, there's the world of NLP. It's like, it's just like, there's a world of funnels, but if I'm doing funnels to how to create one of many presentations inside of a funnel, like the more you niche it down, the more, um, the more you become unique and they're going to come to you versus everybody else. That'd be my question is like, how do you reframe this? Cause obviously you're probably teaching all things NLP or doing all things NLP, but like, what's, what's the genre inside of there that's unique to you that you can, you can create your own opportunity. Yeah. Like a new opportunity inside of that,

that becomes unique to, you know, when now you become known as like, this is the person who's NLP for so-and-so or through this process or, you know, some, some version of that. Do you have any, do you do that right now or have any idea what that could possibly be? Yeah. So I'm actually helping people do online businesses right now. And I do video challenges that work really well. So seven days, seven videos, and they get heaps of confidence from that. So I tend to lead with that and then try to get them to the next thing. Very cool. And do you brand it with NLP, like using that as part of the. For now, I don't't know if i should that's why i'm asking the question or if i think you should i think it makes it more unique and more interesting because it's okay but saying

like the nlp mind hack that you know whatever that thing might be that creates more curiosity and intrigue and sets you apart from any other online marketers just teaching online marketing you know what i mean? Okay. Thank you. I love that. Very cool. I even think like what most people won't tell you about NLP or something like that, like something that drives them. Yeah, it's a lost secret. I was studying the founder, Bandler, and in one of his memoirs, I found this thing that nobody else knows about.

Come to the webinar. I'm going to show you what it is. I'm always looking for that little hook. It's like, whoa, what is the thing? Yeah. Awesome. Great question. All right.

Up next is Sandy Jankovic. Hey, Hey. Okay. Which book do I read first? Which one do I read first? This one, this one, or, or this one or this one? Oh, very good. Well, in the context of what we've been talking about for the last three days, I would read expert secrets. Expert secrets is the one that's going deep into you helping for your calling, create your offer. Um, you know, figuring out your presentation. All those kind of things are inside Expert Secrets. Dotcom Secrets is all the funnels and things, but from the context of this event, I definitely lead with Expert Secrets. Okay. Now, part of that question is also, how do you market these books? What keywords do you use to market these? Because that's what got

me in on one of your webinars was the book, and I forgot how you market it to me. And then what kind of keywords do you use to market your webinars or your books or your products? Cause I got both. I'm a real estate investor and I own a boutique. So I'm going to have two different, cause you said that yesterday you can have several different funnels. So I'm going to have two. So how would I market those? Yeah. So I'm not, I mean, we do drive some traffic keyword based, but most of it is it's interruption marketing. So it's what we're doing is we are targeting audiences, right? So, um, it's me making an ad of me being like, Hey, this is Russell. Get a free copy of the book. Well, and like, and then we're targeting like Tony Robbins audiences targeting Grant Cardone's audience. So we're targeting audience of people who are similar demographics to the cut to the

audiences that I want to, to, to sell to. Does that make sense? Yes, it does. So are you going to their websites and then finding what keywords or how they're using and copying them? Is that what you're doing? No, we're just going to Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, all those ones you can go in there. And when you, when you buy an ad, it asks for interest. Like what are the interests of the customer you're looking for? And so we're just saying the interests are Tony Robbins. They are personal development.

They are people who want to be coaches or consultants. Like you do that for a little bit. And then the algorithm starts learning who you're looking for. And then it starts finding more and more of those people for you. And so the traffic secrets book actually goes deep into that as well. So the third book in this series of traffic secrets, that's right. Rather than like, I'll get the next series. Yeah. Or again, okay. So target my competition and do what they do. Yeah. Great. Okay, thank you. The competition is already targeted. I already congregated these people together for us.

And so it's like I don't have to go reinvent the wheel. It's like, cool. So for me, it's like with the whole Dream 100 I talk about. Like you build the Dream 100. The Dream 100 are all these people that already have your people congregated, right? They're already listening to certain podcasts. They're already on certain email lists. So it's like we're finding those places and then we're getting our ads out in front of those audiences.

Awesome. Awesome. Great. Thank you. Thanks, Andy. Hey, Funnel Hackers, let's be real. How many of you have forgotten about subscriptions and you keep paying for these things month after month after month? That was my wife and I before Rocket Money came along.

Literally a couple months ago, we downloaded this app and within minutes, we found out a whole bunch of subscriptions. In fact, we had multiple Hulu payments, multiple Disney payments from accounts that my wife had set up and I had set up, and we weren't even using one of them. It was crazy. Okay. Rocket Money is a personal finance app that helps you to find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps lower your bills so you can grow your savings. Rocket Money showed us where all of our subscriptions were in one place. In fact, it was crazy how many recurring payments we had that we had completely forgotten about.

All right, Miles, who else we got? All right, up next, we have Jeffrey Levy. Jeffrey, you ready? Let's have it.

Yes, but Russell, love you. I think you're the best marketer in the world. I'm starting a new digital direct marketing agency for agency for nonprofits where I want to do one to many marketing. And I already had one client. I'm a Freemason. So I did something for the Freemasons. How do I get more clients and what tactics should I use? Should I aggregate all these nonprofits together that I can find and do a webinar, for instance? That type of thing. And what do I say to them? And if we have time, if you can pitch it.

So you're going after it. So your dream client are nonprofits. Is that correct? Let me make sure I said that. That's correct. Very cool. I've never marketed directly to the nonprofit market, but I'm assuming that you can target them on ads. I'm assuming there's probably directories, uh, directories is probably, um, newsletters. There's probably,

uh, industry guides, stuff like that. So like, that's what I'd be looking at is where are these, where are these people already congregated? So we can, we can go to market to them. And then the biggest thing I would do is I would show a success story. Like, uh, that'd be my, I'd be like, Hey, free case study showing how I did, how I helped one profit nonprofit do blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, insert result here, right? And a case study. And I'd be targeting, like free case study funnels work so good, but targeting a free case study funnel, they could then push. So, and that free case study could be on a webinar, right?

It could be a, it could be a video sales that wherever it might be. And then you're coming back, you're doing the same, same style presentation we've been talking about for the last three days, right? It's going through that. So my 35 second pitch. So, um, what's up everybody? This is Russell. Um, if you have been, uh, if you're a nonprofit, I figured out how to grow your company. I'm going

to show you guys a free case that I took one nonprofit. We switched from one-to-one sales, one to many sales. And through that process, we helped them to get 2,365 new customers, adding an extra $2 million to the bottom line. It lasts in 30 seconds. The first thing I'm teaching you guys is, uh, the framework. The first framework is that, that, that, that, that, that, that. Yeah. But some, some version of that is kind of how I would, how I would try to pitch it is showing that case study, the result they got. And then from them, they see like, holy cow, like I'm not getting those results.

Now they watch case study and then boom, boom, boom. All the rest of the stuff comes afterwards. That's, that's great. So I should aggregate a bunch together. Yeah. Super. Like I said, love you. You're amazing.

Love this seminar. Thank you. Thanks for the job, Jeff. Thank you so much. All right. Who's next, Miles? All right. Up next, we have Mark Scher.

Hey, Mark, let's hear your question. Jeremy? Yeah. You know, I've had a difficult situation. I don't know if you can help me. I hope you can. I'm a doctor, but I developed Parkinson's disease about five years ago. I have problems speaking.

So I don't really want to give webinars. I don't really want to do that sort of stuff. Two things. What can I do? I'm a doctor. I want to use that somehow to get higher ticket items. What should I do? Great question.

So I have a friend who has a really, really, really thick English accent, and he created a webinar, and nobody could understand him. Nobody would buy from him. And he just, it was frustrated, but the webinar was really, really good. So he literally took his entire script, um, of him doing it. He got it all transcribed and he hired a voice actor, uh, to, to do the presentation for him and the voice actor nailed it. And he run that and it became a $10 million a year webinar. So there's, that's something you definitely a hundred percent. You can do, you hire somebody to voiceovers, um, to, to give your presentation. Um, I've seen that work more, more than once. Do I say that it's, that it's not, what do I do? Do I pretend that's me or what do I do with that? Um, for him, he kind of did, but you can do what we

did is when we did the road stuff, like I had a group of people that went out and did this. Russell created a presentation and we used a lot of his stories i could still go online on stage and pitch this entire thing in russell's voice but i kept saying hey russell asked me to be here because of x y and z he couldn't be here he wishes that he could but let me tell you some of his stories and it worked really really well yeah so you definitely you could hire someone to do that as well to be your like i said we had four or five guys traveling the country doing my pitch, and it worked as well. Thanks a lot.

I gave time to that last person. Thank you very much. This is great. It still sets you up as the attractive character too. Still use your stories and your face and your product and so on within that webinar. I think that's awesome. Appreciate it. Thank you so much.

Thank you. Excellent. All right, Miles. Let's get going. Up next, we have Jason Mitchell. think that's awesome yeah appreciate it thank you so much thank you excellent all right miles let's get going up next we have jason mitchell jason what's your question good to have you all right how you guys doing guys hear me yeah perfect yeah my question i'll make it quick my question is uh kind of twofold one about market research when you're going into a new market because i do a lot of consulting for different clients so when i're going into a new market, because I do a lot of consulting for different clients, so when I'm going into a new market, I want to know what is your best hacks or tips

in order to find the competition that you're going to go ahead and funnel hack and offer hack. And also, what are your thoughts about building, obviously everybody wants to build a business with recurring revenue, and what are your thoughts on basically just building a business

that is 90% all focused on, um, nutrition based products and services with maybe a few one-off products and services to get people in the door. Cool. Okay. I'll address both of those. So number one, uh, the market research. So what I do typically, and I do this in every platform a little different, like YouTube's a great place to do market research. So I go to YouTube and actually I go into incognito account and I create a brand new YouTube account, brand new email address to brand new everything. And I come into that account. I log in as if I'm a brand new person. I started thinking, what would me, if I was searching for my end product, what would I search for? I start searching for different

things and then the videos will start popping up and I click plan the video and I watch the entire video all the way through. I see what video show up next. I click on those. And if you start doing that, we spend a week doing that, you know, 30, 30, 45 minutes a day doing that. All of a sudden, every single person who your dream customer, like YouTube's algorithm is so smart. They will hand deliver you. Here's every video that your dream customer wants. I subscribed to all those channels. I start watching them, start following their links. And in within a week, I know every single person in the market. I do that on YouTube, doing Facebook, doing Instagram, and just kind of, that's, that's how I start finding the people really quickly.

As far as the other question, that's my business. ClickFunnels is my core business. My core business is a continuity program. 80% of my revenue comes from that. But on top of that, we do events, we do offers, we have courses, other things. And so if you want to go deep into how we do that, there's a book, there's a free book if you go to, I think it's thelynchpinbook.com. The Lynchpin Book teaches how we do continuity as the core offer, and then we're using all these other things to feel continuity

and to sell all our other products and services. Perfect. Great. Thank you. Yep. Awesome. Great question. All right, Miles, let's keep going. All right, up next we have Jackie Burge. Jackie, how are you? Good to see you.

I'm doing great. I'm doing great. Thank you. This has been awesome. I have a question and I hope it's for everybody. I can see that you've really invested in school as a tool for your people. And I'm assuming it's like to keep everyone engaged,

to avoid people dropping off and also to upsell. What are the top tips that you would share with us about how you're using school and how are you promoting that tool? Are you promoting it in your offer stack? Are you adding a value to it? That's a question. Yeah. So this, yeah. So this is new for me, obviously we just, we, I went back and forth between the click funnels has a really cool community platform. There's circle, there's Facebook groups, all these other ones. Um, I wanted something that was separate from Facebook. That's kind of why I decided to school initially. And, uh, I wanted to have a

ton of groups. And so with all the other ones I'd have like log in and out of all these different places. So I picked school because I think if you have more than one group, school's a great place because your customers can have access to all in one spot. If you look at the offer stack I made yesterday, two of the parts of the offer are school groups, right? Conversation nomination is a school group and one to many masteries, a school group. So we're doing those things together. Uh, and then my, my plan right now is the the free community that you guys are all in right now um only people in there now are people who came into this challenge but again we're doing the same challenge next month and next month we're gonna start

promoting it uh you'll see like all of my um front end social media we're switching all the call to actions from me pushing different places like literally it's gonna be i'm on social media teaching an idea like hey you want to hang out come to hangoutthrustle.com we're gonna be we're hanging out going deep on this topic and just keep bringing people into this front end. And then once a month, we're doing this live three-day event. And so the school group will be pushing people to the three-day event every month and then hopefully sending people up. And that's the working game plan right now. I don't know if it's going to work or not, but that's the hypothesis I have right now that I'm running with.

And we'll kind of go from there and see how it goes. Right. Thank you. That's helpful. Awesome question. Fantastic. All right, Miles, who we got? All right. Up next, we have Marlon Mills. Marlon, what's your question? Great day. Thank you so much, Russell. Well, I teach salsa dance in person to build confidence and transition to online teaching. So what strategy to effectively market and demonstrate the value of physical skill-based instruction in a digital course or membership?

I'm not sure, of course, of membership. For audience, I was going to ask general versus affluent, but you answered that with who I was five years ago. Very cool. So the question is, like, how do you capture what's happening in a live classroom through a course? Is that what you're kind of saying? Yeah, to effectively market and demonstrate the value of physical skill-based instruction in a digital format. Gotcha. I think the biggest thing is I look at social media.

I think what you do would be really cool socially because you can keep showing these clips and showing the stuff and showing the before and the after, the bad, the good, the confidence, all that kind of stuff socially, pushing to a course, pushing to a webinar where you're doing it. And then if I was doing a web class, a webinar to promote it, I wouldn't do it like me behind a computer. I would look at Tim Shields, for example. He goes to the side of the Grand Canyon, and he does his webinar from there. With you, I would do your webinar in your thing, showing, demonstrating, talking, actually doing the webinar as if you're in a live class. Because it feels different.

It feels exciting that they're able to see it and experience it. But you're still following the same structure. You're just like, all right, secret number one. We're going, whatever it is. Secret number two. You're going through the all right, secret number one, we're going out, whatever it is, secret number two, you know, you're going through the process in a live class style environment. Um, that would be fascinating. I have a friend who's a hypnosis, a hypnotist and his webinar, he's able to register for free hypnosis session. It pops up as him. He's like looking your eyes and he's doing hypnosis session,

doing the perfect webinar while he's hypnotizing you. And then he pitches at the end. So like doing your thing through the webinar is super cool. I think for what you're doing, salsa dancing would be the coolest webinar in the history of all time. So that's what I would do for sure. Thank you so much. Appreciate it. Great. I totally want to see that webinar. Can you imagine like going through the link? I'll register. My wife would buy that in a heartbeat date night. Yeah, we got miles. All right. Up next we have Lazar Lazar Ros. Hi, Lazar. Good to have you. That was good, man. Most people get that wrong. Nailed it. All right. So this is kind of a three part question, but I think you could answer it pretty quickly. Um, if, if I was running a beta test, how long would I run it? Um, what is the best platform to host your webinar? And what would you charge to help someone create a webinar?

If you weren't well known after running this beta test. Okay. Um, so question two, we use zoom for webinars right now for the live webinars, and we use WebinarFuel for the automated webinars. So those are the two tools that we use for all of our webinars. I think they're the best, especially Zoom. People know how to use it post-pandemic, so that's an easy one. Number two is the beta test. The question is, how long would you run the beta test for a new offer you have? Honestly, there's a really cool positioning when you position something as a beta test. I'd almost call it a beta test for as long as you can

just because it's a unique thing. It's a benefit. This is a beta test. It isn't going to be for anybody else. You have a chance to beta test this. So it is a strategic advantage having a beta test. So I don't think it has to be a week or two weeks. I would use it for as long as it keeps working.

When we first launched ClickFunnels for a long time, it was probably a year or so, it was like, we're beta testing this new software. And everyone felt like they were an inside. And after a year, I was like, I probably should change this because no one's going to believe it's a beta test now that we're a year into it. And then the third one, so how would you charge for a webinar if you don't have this credibility? So if you were helping someone build a webinar, helping someone do what you're doing, but you weren't well known, what would you charge them for that? What's a reasonable price? I would charge equity in it. I would be like, Hey, I'm going to do this thing. I don't

know if it's going to work. It's not going to work. I've never done this in the past, but I'm having a good time with it. This is the deal. I'm going to create this for you. It's a new income stream for your business. How about this? We'll split the money 50 50. If it makes no money, no harm foul, makes a lot of money, cool, we both win. And that's how I would negotiate because I'm guessing for the person, it's a new income stream for them, for their existing business. And so it's not like you're taking 50 away.

Maybe you can't do 50-50, maybe it's 20-80, maybe it's 10-90, but I would charge equity up front the first couple deals because then, again, then you got skin in the game,

then I have no risk on their side. And then after you get one or two of those successful, then it's easy to come back and be like, I want 25 grand. I want 100 grand. I want, you know, whatever that might be. Okay. Awesome, man. Thank you so much.

Great questions. Lazar is smart. He got three questions. That's fast, yeah. All right, Miles, who do we got next? Up next, John Wheeler. John, how are you? What's your question?

Good. Hey, Russell. I'm niched down in a small market. So I work with high school basketball coaches. I teach one specific offense that probably reaches about five, 10% of my market. So I am trying to either scale that up. It's a $47 a month membership or $470 a year. I've got three or four Dream 100 that market free events. And I use the linchpin to get them into the membership. But we also split the VIP so that way I can pay events and I use the linchpin to get them into the membership, but we also split the VIP so that way I can pay them and I can get members on the back end. But I'm trying to decide, I'm chasing my tail so much trying to decide, do I need to run ads? Do I

need to do a DM strategy? Do I need to go create content and all different things that I want to do? But I'm also trying to scale or to climb markets, basically get into a bigger opportunity, like create another membership that can that can talk to the other 90 percent of the market, like more of a general sports, general basketball. So, John, what's the specific question? Or climb to another market where I'm speaking with or working with players as well. So trying to climb markets with different membership models. But I wonder what you would do niche down in a small market and how to scale. Should I climb bigger markets? Should I go all in and try to focus on my 5% of, and it's already a small market and I'm working with high school teachers. They're not very wealthy either. Yeah. It's tough because

sometimes you're in a pond that's this big and it's not that deep. Like you said, they don't have a ton of money. So I think for you, I keep doing what you're doing. pond that's this big and it's not that deep like you said they don't have a ton of money so i think for you uh i keep doing what you're doing obviously don't change that but i think definitely i would up level the market just because you're gonna need eventually gonna need more bandwidth and it's you know it's just you eventually the pond's too small you run you run on a fish right and i've seen that my in business i've done the past like potato guns like great market but it's time you're in the pond right it's and you're like, ah, I want to do more. So, I think going up a market, but especially if there's a way you can go up a market that it's, like, all the stuff you've been doing, it fits together. So, that way you're not, like, have to reinvent everything or maybe that becomes a back end or just some other version of it.

I'm not a big fan of, like, starting a whole new market. Everything is different. It's like, how do I create something where my efforts in both things will both feel the same thing, right? Yeah. And that's why when I climb into the next market, I'm also switching them into another vehicle. It's like, hey, you run this other offense, this other defense. Hey, you can come over here and go into my larger inner circle. Yeah. Yeah.

Does Jacob Hiller still do the jump stuff? I'm not sure. I think he's still there, but I don't think he's actively, he was working for some other company when I met him last time. So I think he's more like doing the marketing side of things more so than the actual product. I haven't seen him for a little bit. I bought that back in like 07, 08 when I was coaching. So great question, John. Thank you so much, Miles. Who do we have next?

Up next is Sean Artisone. Sean, let's hear your question. Good to have you. Hey, uh, it's like, just blew my mind that I'm actually talking to Russell. Anyway, so I have a cybersecurity company, and what we've been doing is giving away our advice for free to families and individuals so they can't afford it. We're three years old, but I'm learning now that the three secrets, yada, yada. How do I – where do I start, right? Because I don't technically have a product as so much as advice. But how do I take – do I need a funnel first?

Do I need – like I got your linchpin book, but I'm so confused because I don't think I started in the right place. So where do I start? What's my next move? How do I turn this into conversions? Because you're not selling physical – you're selling a course? You said you're selling advice? What's my next move? How do I turn this into conversions? Cause you're not selling physical, but you're selling a course. You see some advice with exactly what's the undeliverable. It could. Yeah. So like, yeah, it's like, it could be a course, but it's like advice. Like you get my hacker brain to help you secure your technology for your families, but people don't know how to do it right. And they're doing it wrong. And their kids

are getting exposed to harmful content. And so I just want to stop all of this and help families protect their kids and protect you know themselves so there are products but i want to get them the advice first and then get them to the products after they trust me as a you know cyber advisor cool i would 100 go webinar i think the webinars give you a chance to get people on give them advice uh serve the people who can't afford it but also the people who are able to afford it. Now they're going to send up. And I, if I, I probably have two levels that have like, Hey, if you guys want, there's a course for whatever couple hundred bucks, you can go buy and go learn by yourself. Or for X, you can have me do it. And it's way more expensive. Both are great options. And then what happens is like, you're

able to serve everybody. All the free people come in, they get the value from the webinar. Those can afford a course, get the course. And those who can afford you get you. Um, but it's just, it makes the funnel so much wider and so much bigger. So I would just focus on that a hundred percent if I was you for the next six months. So do I buy the ClickFunnels subscription and put the webinar in it? Do I build the webinar, which is a ClickFunnel? That's confusing to me. So the webinar, you build the webinar separately thing. And then as soon as you got that webinar done, you need ClickFunnels account to make the registration page. You plug that into a zoom account, whatever. and then that's how it works.

So I'd focus right now on just getting the presentation figured out and then after that, plug in the webinar. And again, if you're part of the Prime Mover Foundation we're doing, that's literally module number six. So the first five modules of building out the webinar, module six is plugging in the funnel. We got you. And then we jump into traffic right after that. So yeah, it's the exact process we take care of. Awesome. Thanks, Sean. Great question. All right, Miles, who else we got? All right. Up next, we have Silva Schroeder. All right. Welcome. What's your question for Russell?

Hello, Russell. Nice to be here. Yes. My name is Silva. I'm from Germany, from Berlin, the capital. I'm a medical doctor. And my question is, or what I'm struggling with, is so far I offer one-to-one sessions with clients, with patients. And it's really hard in Germany because most of the people are in an insurance and they expect to get everything paid by insurance. And my goal is to develop, to scale up and to develop programs, group programs for mental health topics, especially sleep medicine, because this is one of my, really my focuses. And what is your advice? How can I promote it?

How can I do the advertisement? Because it's really hard as far as I see it. With business things, it's easier because people want to invest in themselves, but with health topics, they always ask, why do I have to pay it? And I need people who are open and to, to are willing to do something for themselves. What can I do? What is the great question? So I remember, I think day one or day two, I showed a clip from Myron. He was talking about value. I think we have to be able to show in your presentation is what is the value of that, right? So the cost of inaction. So if they're looking

at mental health, like if you have mental health thing and the cost of inaction, if you don't struggle with that, like if you, if you have mental health and you're struggling, like what if you lost your job? Like what, how much does that cost? Right. What if that happens to you and you, it makes your marriage split apart. What's the cost of that? What if, so you have to like in the presentation, start showing those things of like, and you're showing case studies and stories. It's kind of a negative thing, but like showing like, Hey, here's so-and-so's my friend. And they went through this head of mental health problem. And because that they didn't get divorced, which cost them this. And then this happened, this happened like, and showing that

path. So they see like, man, if I stay on this path, this trajectory, this is where I'm going to end up long-term. And they show that cost of inaction. It's like, wow, this could cost me tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars. And then I hear I'm only selling this group coaching for $300 or five, whatever the thing might be. So it's, it's showing the cost of inaction and you have to take people down that, down that, that path. And that's how you make it a not make money offers to how you can, you're able to tie it back to money. Does make sense so annie grace like that was the example that myron showed in the clip with my annie grace she's helping people overcome alcohol addiction and so for his presentation it was hard for her because she's like she doesn't want to talk about the negative sides but she had

to get vulnerable like this is the negative side you guys if you don't do this here's how it destroys your family here's what happens to your kids what happens if you get a car right and like showing and like actually showing studies of people that had done those things. And then people feel like, whoa, these decisions I'm making now, that's what it could result in. And so you got to pay now or pay later. It's way less upfront to pay than down here you paid. It's way more. If you can show them that in the content of the presentation, then it's not difficult then to make that – when you get some money apart from the bank, see the i see the value of this does that make sense yeah that makes sense you think it it should be easy

or it should be possible to bring people away from just to get something for free which is okay which is fine for the beginning but then in the next step of course i want to to have them paying for something yeah you know so far they always they take the free content and then that's it. That's why you've got to have a great webinar. Yeah. You think about it. Even with a great webinar, let's say if I crush a webinar, it's going to rate 10%, which means 90% of the people came for free and only 10% bought. But that's okay.

10% is a million-dollar business or a multi-million-dollar business. So it's just understanding that. I see the whole world in the funnel, right? So like not everyone's gonna say yes, but the people who do like, that's, that creates the business. Like I remember, um, Vince James had a book and it was like, he built a hundred million dollar year business, uh, on a 3% conversion rate. So it's like, I made a hundred million dollars a year, even though 97% of people told me no. And like, that's powerful when you think about it. So it's just, it's coming down like, yes, most people are going to be, are going to be freebie seekers. Not take it.

You only need 3%. You only 5%. Uh, and those people are the ones who, who build the business and build the company for you. Great question. So we got to keep moving miles. Who do we have next? Hopefully that was helpful for other people to spend a little longer that one. But I think a lot of you guys are struggling with that. Like, so the pain of inaction and then understanding again, the funnel is the hundred percent. All All right, funnel hackers, listen up. It's 2025. And let me ask you, are your B2B ads actually driving results? Or are they getting lost in the noise?

You and I both know the pain of running campaigns that fall flat because they aren't seen by the right people. But here's the game changer, LinkedIn ads. LinkedIn isn't just another ad platform. It's the place where professionals live. I'm talking about the decision makers you dream about working with. CEOs, VPs, C-suite powerhouses, 130 million of them all in one place. And LinkedIn gives you the laser-sharp targeting to reach them by job title, company, and even industry. Imagine how your business could scale if your message hits the right inboxes every time.

Now, here's the kicker. LinkedIn delivers up to five times higher ROAS than other platforms. Yeah, you heard me right. Five times more return on every ad dollar.

Up next, we have our friend Cliff DeCebles. Hi Cliff. What question do you have have for us good to see you again i remember cliff what's up man good good good it's gonna be quick um russell what are the top resources

that can help me get better at emotion um opening and closing loop and do you think like having my own award would also help with emotion and all that very cool uh the best stuff for emotion honestly like for me, it's watching really, really good storytellers and notice how they invoke motion for you. So I like actually watching movies a lot. And when I watch a movie and I feel something, I was like, what am I feeling? Why am I feeling this? You start noticing how they produce things. Lamar Tyler is my inner circle. He does it in events through music. So he has his events, DJs play music. He's doing stuff to invoke emotion throughout different sessions.

So you can use emotion. He uses music in his webinars. He has music play. He shows video clips. So it's like different things like invoke emotion. That's the big one. And it's watching good people and it's like studying. What are they doing?

What do they do to make me feel this way? Usually when I'm telling a story, if I want to invoke emotion, I'm getting out of the logical, like me telling you the steps of the story and stepping back into how did I feel about the story and then explaining the feelings. It's like, man, I was sitting there. I was so stressed out. Like I feel like I had a thousand pound weight on my shoulders and my hands were sweating. And like it was, and I started explaining what my body is feeling and people have empathy when they're hearing. So they start like empathizing, like their hands will start sweating. They'll start feeling the pain.

And like, that's the things I'm doing is I'm not just explaining the events. I'm explaining how I'm feeling about the events in the story. And that's how you really invoke emotion. What was the second question again? One was a word. Opening and closing loop.

How about the loop? Opening and closing loop. Yeah, that one's just like, I've never heard people talk about that really outside of me. And I learned it again by, initially, Mark joined it. But then eventually, I started watching reality TV, like watching that. And watch that before every commercial.

They hook you to the next commercial. At the end of every episode, they hook you to the next episode. And I started watching how they were doing that. And I'm like, OK, what are the drop-off points for me? For me, on a webinar, drop-off point. First drop-off point is like three minutes in. So I got three minutes to open a loop really quick. So I'm like, hey, what's up, guys guys? This is gonna be amazing. This is what we're

going to be learning. Don't forget at the end, I'm going to be giving you this amazing thing. So I'm like opening a loop quick, right? And I'm looking, okay, when's the next drop off? Next drop off 10 minutes in. Okay. I'm opening loop there. So I'm just looking at strategically where I'm losing people. I got to weave in a loop, opening loop right before, just like they would on TV, right? For a commercial, they open a huge loop to make sure you stay for the three minutes of the commercial and come back afterwards. And so it's just looking at those pieces in your presentations or anything you're doing, like how to keep people's attention.

It's like right before those drop-off points, it's like I make sure I'm opening a loop and then closing it. And then ideally opening a new one before you close the other one so it keeps pulling people along for forever. All right. Thank you so much. Awesome. Thanks, Cliff. Great question.

All right. Who do we got next, Brent? All right. Next question is from Deval. Thanks, Cliff. Great question. All right. Who do we got next, Brent? All right. Next question is from Deval Shah. Deval, good to have you. What's your question for Russell? I've got two questions. So I'm an ex-consultant.

I have acquired two trucking companies and now trying to create offer for these trucking companies. I mean, they do not do like bundles, software, bonus, anything. So just kind of trying to think like what the 10X offer would be for these kind of business. And the second is, which is kind of a better opportunity, which is acquiring more companies where I'm looking for sellers. So kind of

what can be done over there. So that's it. The question is how you create an offer for, like who's the end customer then? Okay, so end customers are either manufacturers or wholesalers so these are our green trucks okay this is my answer this would be very similar to the answer the very first question so when i'm trying to go directly to something like that where it's a very specific person a lot of times it's hard to target with people online so i'll be doing is coming back

to like chet homes dream 100 101 i'd read the ultimate sales machine by chet homes and i look at that okay here's all the people i'm going after. There's no number. And I would be figuring out, hey, how do I find the end buyers? How do I find them on LinkedIn? How do I find them in places? What email? I'd go to infousa.com. Like, can I rent a physical mailing list of these people?

And I would aggressively start targeting those people and start going after them through online, through offline, through phone calls, through direct mail to start targeting. That's what I'd be doing if that was my company. Your second question is how to buy more companies or how to get more opportunities? Yeah, the second one was to kind of find the people who are willing to, kind of looking to sell

or kind of motivate. I'll give you a quick answer on that one. It's just like, I would position yourself as the expert, somebody who buys companies. Look at Cody Sanchez right now. Cody's got the biggest podcast. It's blowing up. She's talking about how she buys little businesses. And guess what she biggest podcast. It's blowing up. She's talking about how she buys little businesses and da, da, da, da. And guess what she now has?

Unlimited deal flow. Hundreds of thousands of people are sending her like, buy my business, buy my business. Like they're just coming to her because she's the person. So position yourself as that person. Start a podcast. Start talking about it. Like I buy business here. I did over here.

I did over here. And then people are going to come to you. I remember this is a decade ago. I sent an email to my list. I'm looking to buy some businesses. If it was in this, my list was tiny at the time. This is pre-ClickFunnels. I got like 600 or 700 people that feel like a 20-page application begging me to buy their businesses.

So they're out there. Just you position yourself as someone who does that, they will come to you in droves. When I bought Dan Kennedy's business, I would say almost, not almost, I would say 90% of the internet marketing gurus who you know on the planet all messaged me asking if I'd also buy their businesses. Oh yeah. Like it was crazy. So just like tell people you're buying them. Like when, when, uh, it's like when I started buying old books, be like, how do you find these old books? I'm like, when a seller shows up or someone, a buyer shows up, the seller show up, you know? So great question. Thank you. Who else we got Brent? All right. Next question is from Steven Agron.

Steven, welcome. What's your question? What's up? Here we go. So I have atrial fibrillation. I'm a former endurance athlete, sponsored athlete, triathlete. I've also worked in the industry for the past 15 years calling on the top surgeons, cardiologists, et cetera, in the world. I've written a book. I don't have a following. I've sold about a thousand copies of this book on book. I don't have a following. I've sold about a thousand copies of this book on Amazon. I don't have a social media presence. Two questions. One question, two parts. Should I structure the book as a free giveaway to build a list to complement this targeting of the interests, like you mentioned on Facebook, Instagram, which I'm going to do, that's the

advertising side of it, but to get them to actually jump on with me, should I give the book away as part of my strategy to get them to opt in for my paid program? Or should I stack that book with the offer, which also includes my other tactics, basically? And so that would be, say, a nominal value product that I'm trying to get a volume on, or do I do one-on-one and share my tactics one-on-one with folks who are suffering from atrial fibrillation? There are no gurus in this space. It's 33.5 million people worldwide suffer from it. What would you do? Man, well, that's a good opportunity.

So I am a huge, huge, huge fan of free book funnels. I built my entire brand and company off free book funnels. There's an art and a science to them, though. So it's not just like give away the book for free. If you go to any of my book funnels, so dotcomsecrets.com, expertsecrets.com, trafficsecrets.com, go through the process, but buy slowly and notice. Because in each of those funnels, there's like five different offers. And so it's looking like they buy the book for free plus shipping. Then there's an order for a bump for the audio book. Then from there, there's an upsell for a $200 course.

And then there's an order for a bump for the audio book. Then from there, there's an upsell for a $200 course. And then there's a process. If I look at any of those, because they're all the same, the model's tried and true. I've been running that playbook for 18 years of my life. It works. So if you'll look at any of those and funnel hack it and then kind of model that, that's what I would do initially. Because then you can start doing social media, pushing the free book. You can get on podcast interviews, pushing the free book.

Free book offers one of the easiest ways to get publicity because everyone wants you to come talk about your expertise and then give away a free book. And so like it's one of the fastest ways to start growing your email, start growing your following. And then as soon as people start buying your book, sending people from a book buyer to a high end coaching client to mastermind, all the other things is one of the easiest things to book buyers are the best buyers of all time because they read, they, you know, so I 100% would look at, I would, I would model that. So look at my book funnels, Funnel Hack'em,

create something very, very similar, and then get on every podcast, every radio show, every YouTube channel talking about your expertise, pushing the free book funnel, and you will have a list of 100,000 people within a year from now if you focus on that. Awesome. Thanks, dude. You're awesome. Love you, bro. Great question. Thanks, Steven.

All right, Brent, who else we got? All right, we've got Kayla Lipinska. Hi, Kayla. What's your question? Welcome out. Hello. Yeah, super excited to be here. question thanks steven all right who else we got all right we've got kayla lipinska hi kayla what's your question welcome out hello yeah super excited to be here so i want to open new pathways to find people to really test my coaching program it's a super beautiful transformative program and i'm really looking to find people who are ready and ripe and i feel most of the people if you offer it for free they're kind of you you know, not really fully in. So that would be the first question.

And also, how can I really spread this message and what do I need to say to people like you to really find the people that I'm trying to reach? So who's your dream client? Who are you looking to reach? Dream clients are high achievers who are a little bit hindered and they don't know why. But they actually actually if they focused on their connections and their relating life their life would blossom in all the ways very cool do you have a podcast or social media or what do you do right now to kind of start getting your message out i've been starting with social media and podcasting and yeah still the the reach

is quite small yeah and then do you have somewhere you're pushing people to after that say again where are you putting where are you pushing people to after that? Say again? Where are you pushing people to, to give you money? I mean, I have like an application form for the coaching program. Okay. Very cool. So if I was you, I mean, a couple of things, obviously this whole event's about creating one-to-many presentation. I'm mildly obsessed with it. You're here because you wanted to learn that. Like that's what I would focus on. Like, Because again, you said a lot of people are going to be freebie people. That's fine. The freebie people come through the event.

They watch the webinar. And what you'll find is interesting. Some people watch the webinar five or six or seven times before they'll buy it. They're just nervous. They'll watch it over and over. But if you sat down and said, okay, I'm going to create a $500 to $1,000 version of what you do right now if you're coaching.

You create a presentation for that. You start driving traffic. Even if 100% of the money you make from that thousand dollar offer just gets dumped back into ads, that's how you can start growing and scaling quickly. Like social media is great, but it takes longer because it's like, you can't fuel it with money very well, you know, to really, really grow it. But if you had a webinar now, you can start driving traffic and start paying ads that, you know, the way you sell the offer will make the money back. It starts growing them from there. Your social media will follow. It will grow.

Your email list will grow. And then the coaching program will explode because you have this baseline of people that are coming in. Flipping a switch, it's like I know if I'm spending $1,000 a day in ads, I'm getting the X amount of people. It's fuel to your business that fuels everything else on the back end. You know what I mean? Yeah, amazing. I already committed. I want to do one webinar a week and

just yeah take it through the year very cool i want to give you and everybody just one mindset thing so people always ask me like how much i've spent ads like like try and figure out how what's the least amount they can spend ads and i want to shift the mindset like every one of your eyes your goal here should be how quickly can i get a spot to the spot where i'm spending a million dollars a month in ads like that should be the goal not like how do i spend as little as possible how do i spend a million dollars a month in ads because Like that should be the goal. Not like how do I spend as little as possible. How do I spend a million dollars a month in ads? Because that's, that's when your business is growing.

Like if you spend a million dollars a month in ads, like you're getting, you're adding hundreds of thousands of people a month into your, into your webinar funnels, into your books, like everything else will grow from that. And it's not saying just go dump a million dollars in ads. That's freaky.

But it's like, if you sell a thousand dollar course, spend a thousand dollars to, to push your event. And if you break even, so one of them say, cool, if you sell two, take that $2,000,

dump it in ads the next week, spend $2,000. And then keep reinvesting the ad money and you start watching this thing grow. And ClickFunnels at that point, we were spending a million dollars a month in ads and it was like Christmas every day. But that became the goal,

not the thing that everyone, something that everyone tries to ask me the other way is like, how can I get traffic for as cheap as possible? It's like, how can you spend as much as humanly possible on ads? That's you really grow a business so that should be the goal and hopefully that's a paradigm shift for everybody so cool thank you so much good luck in the future congratulations thank you all right we got next all right we next up we've got val val welcome out what's your question for rus? Russell, hey, Chris.

I didn't expect to talk to you in person today, so big surprise, okay? I want to integrate the perfect webinar strategy into my business. I have a copywriter who doesn't speak English, and I need to teach him this method. What's the most efficient way to ensure he can write perfect video scripts and landing pages using this strategy? Wait, so what's the question exactly? You say you're doing it in a different language? Yeah, it's a different language, and I need to teach my copywriter to use perfect webinar strategy.

Oh, gotcha. So it's a different language. You got to teach them how to use the perfect webinar strategy. What language are you trying to do it in? Czech. Czech Republic. Do we have expert secrets in Czech? Yeah, I don't know if we do.

I don't know. That's a really good question. I don't think so. I don't know. That's a really good question. I don't think so. I don't think so. That's a great question. And they don't speak any English, I'm assuming, right? No, no. I mean, the easiest way is if you take any of the trainings, the courses you have, there's some really good AI nowadays that does translation.

In fact, we're looking at potentially taking all of our YouTube videos and just running through these translation things to turn in different languages but you can take any of our trainings run it through uh an ai translator and get get pretty close to that you know what i mean i guess probably i would do out of the gate and then obviously you're probably going to be a conduit of like translation like okay this russell's saying how do we do this over here this is what russell's doing like and and looking at that that translation point um because i mean you understand understand the process now, right? So that's just weaving your stories into that framework, your, your experiences in that framework. Um, but yeah, that's probably, that's probably the, I guess it's probably the easiest

solution. Does that help at all? Sure. But it's really complex strategy actually. And I was thinking what is like the crucial to tell him for a start because he won't be like super excited. Yeah, let's learn a new thing. I mean the crucial is like the webinar framework. So I would like – I would take that. In the free school group, I have the perfect webinar training in there. So there's like an hour-long video in there that's me just teaching the structure of the framework, which is origin story, secret one, secret two, secret three, stack the clothes. Like that's the framework. So an hour, you can learn that whole entire framework, like that'd be the structure. And then to give them the structure

inside there, you can weave your stories and stuff into the, into that structure. It's not different than any other copywriting. It's just, it's, it's a little more strategic than what most copywriters do. Most copywriters just tell a story and try to make an offer. It's just, it's, um, yeah, it's just kind of like the next level, like of what copywriters should be doing. So it's the best thing I learned actually. So thank you so much for that. Yeah. No worries. Thank you, man. Great question. Thanks Val. All right, Brent. Who else we got? Let's keep moving. Next up. We've got Susan Knight. Hi Susan. Welcome out. What do you got for Russell today? Hey, sorry. I tried to unmute myself and you did it for me. Hi, Russell.

I'm so honored to be here learning from you today. So about six months ago, I started, I launched a new business. I don't have any real customers yet. I've got some free pull. Free pull people. But I've got a really decent size, like leadership network and executives. And I've been doing a good mid range, long range game, which I think will bear fruit in the future.

But I need a short range game like right now before my window of opportunity starts to close down. So my product is a sustainability leadership growth accelerator blueprint. And that's a huge mouthful, so I need to work on getting that shorter. I have a framework, but I want to get into group coaching so I can continue to get more feedback and refine it so I can eventually record it as like a greenfield. So the gist of it is I'm teaching corporate leaders how to build a sustainability narrative. And depending on where they're at in that narrative, in that journey, either to start, accelerate or scale their sustainability vision, objectives and strategy. And then some of the things I know I have to do in the process are to overcome the false beliefs. We've got about one minute.

What's the specific question? So what's the quickest and best way I can reach these people and really overcome the false beliefs, I think is going to be a big part of what I need to do. So what I would say for you specifically, but probably for a lot of you guys who are listening so i'll be dual focus is like the biggest thing is like you have to get your message out in front of those people as often as possible right if it was me and i was no i'm going for corporate executives who are in this space i'd be looking uh for me i would leave the podcast i think podcasts are the greatest sources for us to do so i've been looking at the podcast directories the apple has a free listing of all i find the categories my people are in

and i would just go contact every single show coming in with like, Hey, I have a really cool presentation I can give on bubble, but I fill in the blank with the big long thing you said, like, I'm going to show you how to do that. I've got a really cool presentation. It's like 30 minutes. I can, I can walk through your people to help them to do the thing. Right. And, um, podcast hosts are looking for shows of the most part. If you pitch 200 different podcasts, you'll probably get in 20, 30 shows. And then from that 20, 30 shows, every one of those gives you a chance to get in front of those audiences. It's going to give you a chance to learn the pitch, learn how to break the false belief patterns, and then pushing people to something, to a free web class, to a free book, to whatever thing you have.

And that will start siphoning people from these podcasts into your world. And at that point, then you can go and give them a good presentation. But it's going to help you to find your voice, I think, and really clarify. Just getting on the podcast is going to help you as well. And then from there, getting people to a free class, which is just a webinar, you know, a free training, a free whatever. I would set a date for like 30 days from now, I'm doing a free web class. I would go ahead. As many podcasts as possible in the next 30 days to fill that class and then go and do a webinar, crush it, make some money, and then start

reinvesting now back in ads after that. That's perfect. Thank you. Great question. Thanks, Susan. All right, Brett, who do we have? All right. Next up is Octavio. Octavio. Good to see you. What question do you have for Russell? Just wondering if you Russell ever cleaned the windows in your house? It's a good question. Uh, it's funny cause my wife, her love language is like acts of service and things like that so i used to try to hire people to do all kind of stuff and then she doesn't look at that

as love apparently so i take my own garbages out i help clean um i don't mow my lawns though actually i don't wash my windows so i do as many things i can but not those two things so i have a robotic company so we clean windows with robots, which is way better, more cool. We are very successful in e-commerce in my country, in Chile, and also in Mexico. But more than e-commerce, it's the movement we are building. What kind of resources do you have in the prime mover to launch my company in the U.S. as a movement, as an e-commerce, and grow from there? Because I want to go with this slogan, you are just one robot away from having more free

time in your life. I love it. What's the price point of the robot? $300 for the window cleaning, $200 for the vacuum, $700 for the cooking robot. Is it something where they're buying it having it for themselves this is someone's a service provider goes out and does it for them you buy the robot we we teach you how to use it as a as a as an end user or like as a biz op like a business opportunity for the end user the end user the end user buy the robot and we explain

how to take out in touch of it okay cool yeah Yeah, I mean, 100%, $300 offer, $500 offer, that fits perfectly into the web. E-commerce is obviously one thing, but selling a higher ticket e-commerce works great through a webinar. So, I mean, that's exactly what I would do. I would create a web. I think you'd bundle it. Who would have guessed Russell's going to do a webinar presentation?

Right, right, yeah. I mean, I would do a webinar presentation for sure. I also think there's an opportunity for you to turn it into business opportunity. Like that's what I'd be looking at. Cause like making 500 bucks is great. Imagine selling a business opportunity for $30,000 where you give them the thing and teach people how to go door to door, like actually cleaning houses. Like, I think there's another opportunity there that I would look at. Cause I love selling business opportunities, especially in a down recession. I think that offer would crush. And then anyway, so there's two sides of it that you could do. And I think both of them,

yeah, I mean, I think a hundred percent doing a webinar for either of those offers would be the, be the way I would run it for sure. Robot secrets. Yeah. One robot away. Thank you guys. Octavio. Great question. Let's keep moving, Brett. Who else? All right. Next up is Nancy Parsons. Nancy. Good to see you. What question do you have for Russell? Hi, thank you so much for today. I got a couple, I just got a minute. Um, I want to, um, I'm super passionate about helping women transform their lives after narcissistic abuse. It's something that I've already been through and it's a real passion of mine. I want to do high-end retreats. I want to do some courses. I'm like starting from scratch. And I also, I really want to do also, I just see doing all the different things eventually, right, to help them.

Where do I start? Very cool. Do you have an offer yet? It's pre-offer still. Pre-everything. Very cool. Well, I think, first off, I think the market you're talking about is really interesting. I think it's good. There's a lot of pain in there. There's some really cool stories you lead with. Cause that's something that you can put out there. You can test like the, the math behind it will give you enough. You can spend money on ads to acquire customers.

You can break even or be profitable. It gives you a chance to test out the webinar, like getting better, telling your stories, figuring things like that. But that's what I'd be focused on right now for you is like, Hey, first off,

let's create an office between $500,000. That's crazy. There wasn't many presentation. And then from there, it's like now start doing podcast circuits to get traffic to the webinar. Let's start doing all these other things to start doing it. But I think you have, it's a very polarizing,

very, I think it's a solid market. So I think you're in the right direction for sure. It's just starting to put the pieces together one after another and getting everything all built out. So. Right. Okay. Thank you very much, Russell.

Appreciate it. And I didn't mean to cut you off, but here's one thing I think too, is you mentioned like retreats. I think getting people to come into maybe some type of a course and selling that through a webinar. And then the people who become your hyper buyers, now you can charge a large amount to have them go do retreats and work with you one-on-one. But maybe getting some type of course to start with is probably the best way to do it. Can I give one other idea that might help too?

And this might help for a lot of you guys. Sometimes I've seen some people get struggled as they build the course because they're nervous. It's them and the thing. So what I've done, in fact, the very first course I ever built, not outside of Potato Gun, but in the business market,

is I did an event for free. I brought people in and I taught for three days this event and I recorded it and then that became the course material. So one thing you could do is find 10 people who are your dream customers and people you know already, probably people in your personal life that have dealt with this and say, I'm doing an event.

I rented a cabin. I rented an Airbnb. We're going to do three days. You guys come for free and I'm going to teach you guys all my stuff. And I just need you guys to be there, experience it. And we're going to film it. And then our testimonials afterwards. And that way it gives you a chance to go.

You film the whole thing, right? You get testimonials. And then that becomes the course, the videos of it. And then when people see the courses, they're like, wow, that retreat looks so awesome. I want to go to retreat someday. You're like, oh, we happen to have one coming up next month, you know, but it's an easy, fast way to create, to create a course and get, um, to get the content done and get testimonials quickly. Then you can, um, reverse engineer, build a course out of that and kind of scale from there. Does that make sense? Yeah, that's, yeah that's great i say thank you run a free retreat when could you run your first free retreat oh commitments

when can i do that gosh i could have that up and running in a few months i'm sure okay i'm gonna give you 60 days 60 days i want you to run a free retreat and you're inviting 10 people you know they're not gonna charge anything They're coming as your guest and you have a chance to put together a framework, teach them the first time, film it, capture it. I think you can do that in the next 60 days and it would probably stretch you a little bit, but it would get you into the game.

Get this whole game started and then you can everything else come to that. Alright, you're on. Okay, let's go. 60 days. Awesome mission too, Nancy. That is awesome.
