What's up, everybody? This is Russell Brunson. Welcome to the Marketing Secrets podcast. I got something exciting I want to share with you right now. So the big question is, how are entrepreneurs like us who didn't cheat and take on venture capital, were 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. Alright everybody. So this is something I've talked a lot about with my inner circle recently. And it seems like a lot of people are launching membership programs, membership sites, and have you guys ever had anything where you did something really successful for a long time and then for some reason you stopped doing it and you don't know why you did? So that's one of these ideas that came out. And so I shared it with a bunch of them and they're all going crazy and a bunch of them are trying it out right now. And I was like, man, this should be a marketing secret we share with everybody else. So bring it to the podcast. So this is what it is. This is a way if you got a membership site to like stimulate growth really, really rapidly. Like help you get 100 signups in like a day or 200 or a thousand, depending how big your thing is, how to get a whole bunch in really, really quick. And I have not yet done this with click funnels, but I'm going to, maybe I'll do it on January 1st anyway, I don't know. But I used this back in the other membership sites and I saw initially person I modeled who did this first was a guy named Alex Mendozian. And they did it to fill up a whole bunch of people in their software programs, which was kind of cool. And so I watched them do it and then I did it four or five times afterwards and it worked amazingly well every single time. Then for some reason I stopped doing it. Cause that's what we do, right? When things work, we just stop doing them sometimes. Oh, the add ness of an entrepreneur's mind. Anyway, so this is a really, really important and really cool one. So this is the strategy and I'll walk you through all the pieces and then hopefully it gives you guys a tool you can use anytime you want to sell some stuff really, really quick. So what we do is we promote it. And I did it back in the day with Teleseminars I think it would still work with tele seminars. In fact, it's almost like anyway, who knows? But it definitely works with webinars as well or Facebook lives or a lot of different ways you can do it. But the big key is like, you're promoting an event and the event is to talk about something cool. A new discovery you figured out that's brand new to whatever it is you do. There's different ways to position. If you read the Dotcom Secrets book, there's five different curiosity hooks we have in there. But my favorite one for this is like, oh my gosh, I figured out this new thing. I want to show it to you guys live. So you have to be on this thing because I'm going to teach you or show you or walk you behind the scenes of this new thing that just came out. And so a new discovery is like the hook that I love this one the most. Right? So, for example, the last time we did this, this was back when we had when we were focusing more on like business opportunity seekers as opposed to entrepreneurs. And we figured out a way to generate leads. It was really cool. What we were doing is we're going to like the CPA networks and there are these offers that were getting a thousand sales a day. And the people have these offers actually sell you the leads. It's not a strategy I believe in or I recommend it, I don't think anyone should ever do. But it was a really cool thing, right? So we were like tapping into these CPA networks to the offers and where basically someone would opt in for an and then they would buy that person's product. But then we would get the lead put into our autoresponder. It's kind of like co reg but a little different. And we were getting a couple thousand leads a day coming in, and it was really, really cool. I probably should have told you that. Now some of you guys are like, teach us that, but don't. It's a horrible idea. It'll get your autoresponder shut down. People won't know who you are. It's not spamming, but it's as close as you can get without having any legal issues. So I don't agree. Don't do it. It's bad. But back then it was like the new opportunity, right? This new thing. I was like, oh my gosh, this is amazing. So I did is. I did this teleseminar. I was like, hey, I want you guys to on. I'm gonna show you this new way that we found out to get like an extra 3,000 leads a day. And it's happening every single day. It's crazy. And people are like, what? They're going crazy. They want the thing, right? And so they get on. And this is a mini. It's not a perfect webinar, so don't think of it as a perfect webinar. This is me talking about a new discovery I just had, and I'm gonna teach them what it is. Okay, I said that with emphasis on purpose. I'm teaching you what it is. What is the thing. Okay, so it's the what, okay? Not to be different, not to be confused with the how. There's a what and there's a how, right? So this is the the what. So this is what this new thing is. And so 45 minutes I told the story about how I figured this thing out and where I met this person and how it worked. And I show them exactly what it was and how. You know, here are the offers that the CPA offers are in there. Here's how you plug in autoresponder. And this is what it was. And from there we're getting 3,000 leads a day coming in consistently, right? And so I show the what, and people are going nuts. Like, oh my gosh, I want to do this. I want to do this. But the problem is that they know the what, but they don't understand the how. Like, how do you actually do it? How do you find the offers, how do you find the people? How do you negotiate? How much is it gonna cost? All those kinds of things, right? So they know the what, but not the how. So you show them the what in a 45 minutes thing, and it's just basically telling the story about how you figured out the what. So you tell them the story, how you figured out the what, and then the result you're getting from the what, and they're like, what? The dump. And that's brunsonism, I think, what? The dump. And then at that point you step back and say, it's been in the clock. So it started at the top of the hour, it's been 45 minutes. And then at that point when they're like, what? The dump. I need this. You say, wait, I actually am not going to show. I don't have time in the context to show you this right now. But for all my members over here, inside of Click funnels out of my membership site, inside of my. Whatever your thing is, I'm going to be doing a 90 minute breakdown. I'm going to show you exactly how to do this. How. H O W big capital how. Show you how to do this. And it's starting 15 minutes. So if you're a member, congratulations. Log in the members area. The call in number or the login number for the webinar is right there on the dashboard. It's there. Just go log in and jump on the training. This is a live training. I'm doing it live. I'm not recording, I'm not going to share it ever again. It's not going to be. It's happening one time, one time only. If you want it, now is the time. So go log in the members area and go log in now. If you're not a member yet, you've got exactly 15 minutes before this training starts. Means in 15 minutes the clock hits the top of the hour. I pulled it off the page and if you sign up five minutes later, you missed your shot, it is gone forever. The only way to ever understand what the how on how to do this is to be on that live training. In fact, I got three other experts, the people you need to meet, the person who's going to like help you get this thing started, whatever it is is going to be there on the call. But this is a one time only, not being recorded. And it starts in exactly 15. Actually it starts in 14 minutes. So you better hurry. Now go sign up right now for the trialhatever.com right?

So that's the marketing secret. That's the trick, you guys. It's like the coolest thing ever. So again, kind of recap, you gotta have a really cool new discovery. If you guys do discovery and you want to show them what it is, okay, you get people come on either the Facebook Live, the teleseminar or the webinar, it doesn't matter the vehicle that you're doing it, you're just getting on a live event that's happening. So you build some curiosity, anticipation, get excited, you get on there, you say, hey, this is the what. I'm going to show it to you. And you tell the story about how you figured out the what. And you show the big result that you got from this what. And you say, look, in 15 minutes for all of our paid members, we're starting the how training. So go log in, jump on the how training. We're going to show you what to do if you're not a member. If you are a member, congratulations. It's in the members area. If you're not a member yet, you have 15 minutes before this puppy goes live. So now is the time to start running and go. And you'll watch your phone with all your stripe notifications. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Like, I've seen times where we've signed up four or five people in 15 minutes for a membership site, which is insane. So it works. And let's say your list is smaller and you only sign up 100 people. It's fine. The conversion rates only. Especially if you have a free trial for membership site. The conversion rates on these things are like 50% of people who are on your webinar will sign like it's crazy. So again, I've not done them for a long time, but I'm gonna probably do one for clickfunnels here. Maybe January. That'd be fun. Anyway, I'm gonna do it. You'll see me execute on, but most of you guys should have enough intel to be able to do it faster. So there you go. The what and the how. It's pretty awesome. So hope you guys love it. Hope you guys use it. Let me know if you do. And if you got any value from this.
