Listen to part 2 of 4 of my keynote presentation from FHL. During this part of the presentation, I start diving deeper into how to create your irresistible offers.
On today’s episode you will hear part 2 of 4 of Russell’s first presentation at Funnel Hacking Live 2019. Here are some of the super awesome things you will hear in this part:
-- Hear Russell give ideas for a written offer, an audio offer, and a video offer, that are all super easy.
-- Find out why it’s so important to not be a commodity and how you can avoid it.
-- And see why Russell always has several things he can use to bulk up his offers.
So listen here to hear the second part of Russell’s keynote presentation at this year’s Funnel Hacking Live.
People always ask me, “How can I make money as an affiliate, Russell?” The first thing you do is you don’t sell the product that they’re already selling. That’s like, “Buy Russell’s thing.” That’s like number one on your list, then it’s like, “Now I need to make my own offer.” How many of you guys bought the one funnel away challenge from somebody and then bought it again from Stephen later because you wanted his bonus? Okay how many of you guys have bought twice from Stephen because you wanted the new bonus the second time? There’s a lesson in this.

Hey everyone this is Russell. Welcome back to the Marketing
Secrets podcast. I hope you enjoyed the first 25% of my keynote
presentation at Funnel Hacking Live. During today’s episode I’m
going to start diving deeper into actually how you create an offer.
We talked about so far the fact that the offer increases the value,
you have to have amazing offers because that’s how you
decommoditize yourself and how you make people desire and lust and
go crazy for the thing you’re trying to sell.
So the next thing is like, “Okay, that’s cool Russell, but you
know I’m selling physical products, and I’m doing this or whatever
and I don’t know how to bulk up my offer.” And the easiest way to
bulk up offers is with information products. So the next section of
my presentation, I started going deeper into exactly how to create
information products. I walk through nine different ways that I
think you’re going to enjoy. We’re going to kind of go through nine
different ways, and then do a couple of potential exercises and
things like that, and then we’re going to move into story.
So with that said, I’m queue up the theme song and jump into
part two of my keynote presentation.
So the question is, how do you do that? Some of you guys are
like, “I sell this thing, how do I make it sexier? How do I make an
offer?” So the fastest way to increase an offer is to bulk it up by
adding other types of information products. So I’m going to go
through a couple of ways you guys can create quick information
products to bulk up any offer without actually having to write a
book. Does that sound like fun?
Alright cool. So I’m going through 3 different things you can
do. Number one, there are written words, but I’m going to show you
how to do that without actually writing any words. Number two is
audio and number three is video. This will give you guys ideas so
no one will be able to say, “I can’t create an offer, Russell.”
With these things I’m going to show you, you can create millions
and millions of offers. In fact, if you start looking at everything
I do, you’ll notice there’s always one of these three things I’m
using to bulk up my offers every single time.
So the first are written things. So the first thing I want to
show you guys is, how many of you guys would love to have a book
but you don’t want to write a book? Books are the most painful part
of anything I’ve ever done, ever. By far. So this is a book that
was a crowd source book called chicken soup for the soul. How many
of you guys have read Chicken Soup for the Soul? How many of you
guys have read one of the 8 million versions since then?
The most amazing thing about this book is that they authors who
wrote this book didn’t actually write any of the words in the
books. Isn’t that great? Yet, they still made millions and millions
and millions and millions of dollars. The other day my son came
into my little office, it was Bowen again, he came in and he saw
this book and he said, “Dad, is that your new book?” and I said,
“Yeah.” And he said, “You wrote another new book?” I was like,
“Well, kind of.” And he’s like, “What do you mean kind of?” I’m
like, ‘Well, I wrote the title and that was it.” He’s like, “Did
you cheat?” I’m like, “No, I didn’t cheat. I have 30 people who’ve
got Two Comma Club awards write how they would get a two comma club
award if they could do it again.” He’s like, “And then they just
wrote the chapter?” I said, “Yeah, then I put it in a book, then we
sell the book.” And he’s like, “But you didn’t write anything.” I’m
like, “I wrote the title. It’s a really good title.” And he’s like,
“I don’t think that’s a real book dad.” I’m like, ‘No, it really
is.”
How many of you guys inside whatever business you’re in could
find a whole bunch of experts in whatever it is, and you could
write a book like this? This book alone, we did the very first
launch of the one funnel away challenge where we gave this away,
and we closed it down for like four months, people were auctioning
these things off. Someone sold one for over $500 on eBay. People
were going crazy for this book.
Now when we’re launching one funnel away challenge again, we’re
like, ‘you guys get this book.” And people flip out. People buy
just because they want the book, and I didn’t write a word of
it.
So think about this, how could you guys like, Chicken Soup for
the Soul trailblazed it for us, I trailblazed it for you, how could
you guys do that same thing in your market? Find people around you
and be like, “Let me interview you,” do 30 of you, or 20 of
you, or 10 of you and put together and make a book. There’s a
million things you could do with that, but it’s a fast, easy way to
create a book but you don’t actually have to do it.
Number two way to get written books really fast is to compile
examples of stuff. How many of you guys have read my 108 Split
Tests book? This is literally just screen shots of 108 of our split
tests and people go crazy for it. How many of you guys are doing
stuff in your business or whatever it is you do, where you have
this byproduct? We weren’t planning on selling this, we were just
doing split tests and it takes screen shots of the split tests and
eventually two years later we’re like, we should just put these all
in a book. We just compiled a whole bunch of examples and we sold
it.
This right here, how many of you guys are members of Funnel
University? Every month we find a couple of funnels, we compile
them, talk about them, and show them to people. Not my funnels,
other people’s funnels. We just find the cool ones and we show them
and put them in a newsletter.
How many of you guys have seen this book, the 74 Funnel Swipe
File? None of you guys have seen it yet. Another product coming out
soon to a funnel near you. Same thing, we’re just compiling cool
stuff. How many of you guys have seen cool stuff before? You should
just compile it then, make a book, and then it’s amazing. More
people have probably read this book than my other books that I
spent years slaving on to write, and they’re like, ‘Oh, this is
better.”
One of my favorite ones, this is kind of a tricky one. How many
of you guys have heard of the public domain before? This is where
Walt Disney got all his ideas by the way, he never wrote anything.
He just went to the public domain and he’s like, “Oh sweet, someone
wrote a story about a beauty and a beast, or about a snow princess,
or about all these things.’ He found public domain stories and
produced movies out of it. Anything that was written pre-1923 in
the United States is in the public domain and you can republish it
as your own.
One of my friends, Matt Furey, he took this old 1914 wrestling
course, Farmer Burns, published the book and made over a million
dollars selling that course. Have any of you guys read Think and
Grow Rich? Master Key Systems? Tons of the books that you guys know
and are aware of are all in the public domain, you can republish
them.
There are two places I go for public domain stuff. Number one I
go to Gutenburg.org, everything on Gutenburg.org is on the public
domain. They just publish, there’s like 50,000 ebooks there, you
could find one in your market, you can take it and republish it as
your own. The second secret, I go to eBay and eBay in the
non-fiction book section, you can search by year, so I search by
year and I start typing keywords in my market. And you will be
amazed at how many amazing books that have been written that people
are selling on eBay for $1.50, that you can then republish and sell
for whatever you want. Bundle inside of your offer to quickly get
amazing books.
Okay, so there’s three fast ways to make books. Crowd source
them, compile a bunch of examples, or go in the public domain.
Okay now here’s a concept I need you guys to understand as we
move from the first three to the next three and beyond. This will
make this whole process simpler for you. The concept is this,
people will spend more money for the exact same content packaged in
a different way. I’ll say it again. People will spend more money
for the exact same content packaged in a different way.
When I first started this business, I remember going to events
like this and the speaker, it seemed like every single time some
speaker would say, “Who here has read Think and Grow Rich?” By the
way, how many of you guys have read Think and Grow Rich? Which is
in the public domain by the way, so you guys can all publish and
make Think and Grow Rich for Dentists, Think and Grow Rich for
Surfers, Think and Grow Rich for whatever, it’s ready for you.
But anyway, I kept hearing that so I went and bought the book
and I was like, I’m so excited to read the book, and I put it next
to my bed stand and it sat there for months and months and then
years. And every time I’d go to an event, they’d be like, “Who read
Think and Grow Rich?” I’d raise my hand, well I haven’t actually
read it. I have it, someday I’ll read it.
And one day I remember feeling guilty and I went on eBay and I
typed Think and Grow Rich Cd’s and someone was selling the CD
course of it. So I bought the CDs, go it in my car and for the next
3 weeks, I started “reading” Think and Grow Rich in my car. What’s
interesting about this, the book Think and Grow Rich cost me $9.97
on Amazon. The CDs cost me $97 on eBay. So I literally paid ten
times more money for the exact same thing packaged in a different
way. Was there any difference between the book and the audio? It
was literally word for word. Some dude read the book and then it
became CDs and I spent ten times as much.
This is the lesson for you guys. How many of you guys read the
Dotcom Secrets book? How many of you guys read the Expert Secrets
book? Why are you here then? Everything I know is in those
books. I got nothing else. Oh, because it’s packaged a
different way. Does that make sense? I want you guys all to
understand that what you have you can package in so many different
ways, and because of the experience, how it’s being fulfilled, all
those things, it shifts the value of it. This is way more valuable
than a $10 book, this experience being here.
So I’m going to shift over to audio now. This is a book that we
republished, this is in the public domain, it’s called the Life
Work of Farmer Burns. I had my father in law get a microphone out,
he read it, we turned it into a CD and started selling, this is ten
years ago, started selling this book on CD. So you can find a book,
you can read it, you can have somebody else read it, find the book
in public domain, find something like that, and make an audio
book. A very simple, easy way to do it.
Number two is you can interview others. So this is a book, how
many of you guys have read this book, by the way? I know all
our Two Comma Club X members, I sent you guys a copy of it.
Everyone’s like, “This thing is bigger than the phone book.” It’s
one of the best books ever. I remember when it first came out,
David Frey, where’s David at? So David got it and he’s like, ‘This
book’s amazing.” And he called up Vince James’ is the author, and
he interviewed him for a whole bunch of stuff, and he made a whole
audio course out of it, and Dave’s a genius, so I should just do
what Dave did.
So then I called him up and I said, “Hey can I interview you
too?” and he’s like, “Sure.” So I interviewed the guy who wrote
this book. The guy made, he was a 20 year old kid and made a
hundred million dollars through direct mail selling supplements. So
I called him on the phone and I interviewed him and he let me
interview him for six hours. When it was done he was like, “You can
have the rights to the audios, I have the rights too. We can do
whatever we want with them.” I’m like, “Sweet.”
So then like 2 years later I launched it and this actually
became my very first ever Two Comma Club Funnel. I made a million
dollars selling interviews of the interview I did with this guy who
wrote the book. Is that amazing? So how many of you guys have ever
read a book before? How many of you guys could call the author and
be like, “Hey can I interview you?” And if someone’s like, “He’s
too famous, he wrote all these big books. He’s never going to
interview me.” I’m going to tell you the life of an author, if you
guys really want to know how it works.
They geek out on a topic, they spend their whole life writing
this book and they’re so proud of it and they’re so excited. And
then they tell their spouse or their family and friends and they’re
like, “Okay. That’s weird.” And they’re like, “Oh, nobody cares.”
And then there’s an audience who gets the book and they love it and
read it and they’re like, “My people did read it.” right. And then
somebody calls and they’re like, “Hey, that book was amazing. Can I
interview you?” The person is like, “Yes, you can.” Just so you
know. They want you to talk to them. They want to share this stuff.
It does not happen enough. If you went to Amazon and find the top
ten authors of books in your market, I guarantee you 9 out of 10
will get you on the phone that fast.
Or you can actually, I don’t know if Jason Fladlien is here this
year, but Jason gave me an idea that was brilliant. He was doing an
offer and this kind of ties back to the story we’ll talk about here
in a minute, but he was doing an offer where he was selling a
funnel course and he was like, “I want to interview someone who did
ecommerce funnels. Well, Trey Lewellen has got the highest grossing
ecommerce funnel right now inside of Clickfunnels, I want to
interview Trey.”
So he calls up Trey and he’s like, “Hey, can I interview you?”
and they’re friends. And Trey’s like, “Sure man, you can interview
me.” And Jason’s like, “Well, I need to wire you some money first.”
And Trey’s like, “No, don’t worry about it. I’ll do the interview.”
And he’s like, “No, no, I need to wire you the money because
otherwise there’s no value in this interview. And Trey’s like,
‘What” so Trey’s like, “Whatever.”
So Jason wires him like $5000 and he does the interview and then
when you see when Jason is selling his product, he does the stack
and goes through the stack, “Number one, number two, number
three….” He’s like, “Number three right here, do you see this right
here? This is the guy, he’s the number one ecommerce seller in
Clickfunnels. He had a funnel that did $20 million dollars in six
weeks selling flashlights and I wired him $5000 to interview
because I wanted to find out, he does interviews but I wanted to
find out the real stuff, so I paid him $5000 to interview him. And
that interview you guys could have.”
All the sudden that bullet point in this stack slide went from,
“Oh it’s an interview.” to “that’s worth $5000 now.” The value
instantly shoots up.
So interviewing people is huge. In fact, when I launched the 10x
Secrets course I had my offer and it was good and I was like, “How
do I make this sexier?” so the first thing I did is I interviewed a
bunch of people. I interviewed this man right here, where’s Myron
at? Everyone loves Myron. Anyway, I interviewed Myron, I wrote a
bunch of people who I learned how to close from stage from. I
interviewed all of them, plugged that into the course, increased
the value of the course. So interviewing people is huge, for any
product. I don’t think there’s a product I put out that I don’t
interview people. I do it even if it’s my product. I’m like, “Who
are the 10 other people I can interview who have done something
similar?” because all those things increase the value of what it is
I’m selling.
And then the last audio one is compiling hard to find podcasts,
and audios and things like that. If I told you guys, I’m like,
‘Hey, my favorite podcast is Mixergy, you guys should go listen to
it.” How much value is in that? Not much, right. But if I was like,
“There’s this one interview that Andrew did and in the interview he
started talking to the guy and he literally, the guy showed three
different websites that were the key to ‘blah, blah, blah’ and I
listened to those things and found the websites. I never knew they
existed. I started doing the thing, and that’s how we got
Clickfunnels to whatever.” If I tell you that, you’re like, “Oh my
gosh, I want to hear that podcast.”
I’m like, “Cool, when you sign up for my thing right now, I’m
going to give you a link directly to that podcast so you can find
it.” You curating stuff for people there’s value in that. YouTube
videos, I’ve done it tons of times with opt ins where we’re like,
“Opt in here to get a free video from Robert Kiyosaki teaching the
number one tax strategy for middle aged Americans.” And I just
found a video on YouTube of Robert Kiyosaki teaching the number one
thing on whatever, and that’s what I give people when they opt in.
So you curating stuff you think is cool, can be bundled into offers
as well.
Okay, so there’s the audio ones. Really quick, so audio books,
interviewing other people and compiling hard to find audios is a
big thing.
The last one I’m going to go through really quickly is video.
There is a program, how many of you guys here use Windows? How many
of you guys use Macs? Holy cow. Okay, there’s a program. If you are
using Windows you should be using Camtasia, if you’re using Mac,
use Screen Flow. This tool has made me and probably most people
more money than anything else on earth. It just records whatever is
happening on your screen. So you make a presentation or slides, or
literally the very first version of Funnel Hacks training, the one
that got us from zero to ten thousand customers, I had a word
document opened on the screen with my notes, on the right hand
side, I had a little picture. I just clicked record on Screen Flow
and I talked for an hour as I read through my outline. We did like
$10 million plus dollars in sales, and that was what the product
looked like.
“But Russell, I have a professional video studio.” You don’t
need one, just get a microphone, screen flow or camtasia, record
your screen, have a presentation and just teach it. It’s super
easy, it’s simple. It’s like the easiest thing in the world to
do.
Number two video thing, just get your iphone out. Literally you
can just get your phone out and just make videos. Where is Rachel
at? Is she in the room right now? We were on, did you finish the
course, by the way? Can I talk about that?
So Rachel, we were on this little cruise thing after the 10x
event and she came up to me and she’s like, “I have an idea, it’s
going to be a course called Selfie Secrets” Am I going to ruin
this? “I’m going to record the whole thing on my iphone.” And then
she the next day, recorded the entire course on her phone teaching
the entire course, which is amazing. And it was all on her
phone.
Okay, so how many of you guys have a phone. You have everything
you need. You guys should all buy her course when it goes live.
And the last thing is you should throw a workshop, teaching
people stuff. You don’t even have to speak, you can bring other
speakers to teach for you. When I first got started, I didn’t have
any product to sell. So the first thing I did, I threw a workshop.
And it was really exciting to have a workshop, I was pumped about
it, but I had nobody coming and so I emailed my tiny list at the
time and said, “I’m doing a workshop, it’s $5000 a ticket.” And
then the first day nobody bought, and the second day nobody bought.
And the third day one guy bought.
And at first I was like, “Yeah!’ and then I was like, “Oh crap,
now I have to do a workshop and there’s only one person coming.
This is awkward.” Then luckily 2 other people bought. So I had
three people buy. I was like, “Okay, now we have a workshop with
three people.” So I called everybody I knew, my friends, my family,
everybody. I was like, “Okay, I’m doing a workshop, people paid to
be here. You have to come and just sit in the audience and don’t
tell them you didn’t pay, because I need this to look good on video
or it’s going to be super embarrassing.”
So we set it up, we had it all set, and it was like not like
this, it was really bad. We literally had curtains, the windows
behind me were too bright, so we got sheets from the bedrooms, and
electrical taped sheets over the, it’s so bad. But we recorded and
that became the very first course I ever sold, the videos from us
at the holiday inn, with electrical tape over the sheets, literally
behind me the entire video and it looked amazing.
So throw a workshop, even if nobody comes to it, or just invite
your friends. Do something at your house, bring people in, just
record yourself teaching your thing, and you can bundle that
really, really quickly.
So for videos, we’ve got screen captures, iphones, and
workshops. So here’s a quick recap of the nine ideas. Crowd
sourcing books, compiling examples, public domain, audiobooks,
interviewing, compile hard to find audios, screen captures,
iphones, and workshops. Tons of easy ways to do that quickly.
So what I want to do right now, is I want to actually, I’m
trying to think if we should do this or not. I’m going to let you
guys do this on your own, but in your paper that I handed out, I
have this little section here for you guys to figure out, what are
potential products I could bundle inside of my offer? This is
something we do all the time. Every time we have a new product that
comes out, I talked about this last year, we have bat meetings. We
literally send out a bat signal to voxer to everyone on our
marketing team, we all come on zoom, from wherever they’re at
around the world, and they get in front of a whiteboard and we’re
like, “What could we create from this product? We could put this in
it, and this…” and just start dumping out as many ideas as we
can.
So now you guys have, let’s say I’m selling this product, “what
else could we do?” “We could interview this guy, I could compile
these things here, I could do this, I could make a video, I could
do a workshop, we could do….” And all these things you can quickly
create to turn this into an offer.
Now really quick, I guarantee I know the number one thing going
through some of your heads right now is, “Russell, that’s cool for
all the coaches and the consultants and the info product people,
but not for me. I’m different. I sell real stuff. I sell physical
products.” Or, “I have a local business.” Or whatever your excuse
is right now. I want to shatter these excuses because the biggest
thing that’s going to keep you guys from having success over this
week, is the thought of, “Oh, this doesn’t apply to me.”
I’m excited, I think either tomorrow or the next day, we’re
going to have Jaime Cross who’s going to be coming up here and
speaking. Jaime is amazing because two years ago she came to Funnel
Hacking Live, she was sitting in the audience, and she sells soap.
And I was on the stage talking about webinars. I’m doing this huge
thing about webinars and stories, this whole thing. And every other
ecommerce person, I’m guessing, in the audience is like, “This is
not for me because I sell physical products.” And Jaime said, “How
could I make this work for me.” Twelve months later she’s on the
stage getting a two comma club award. Twelve months later she’s
onstage sharing her story with you.
She took this concept of the webinar and made an ecommerce
webinar. She took it and didn’t say, ‘This isn’t going to work for
me.” But “How can I make this work for me?” And shifted some things
and made it work for her and blew up her company. I’m so excited
for her to tell her whole story.
But I want you guys thinking the same thing. So I’m going to
some examples right now. This is a product that I sell. This is a
physical product called Viagon. How many of you guys have ever seen
this before? The three people on my team. So back in the day when I
launched 15 companies in a year, which is a horrible idea, don’t do
that, one of them was this thing right here.
I had a friend who had this company and he was getting in
trouble and this little machine here, if you start getting a cold
sore, as you as you feel it, how many of you guys get cold sores?
You feel it tingle, you pull this out, if I can open it. This is a
new one so the seal hasn’t been cut yet. Alright, then you peel the
seal off. Alright so when you open this thing up, when you feel the
cold sore coming on, come on. There we go. Alright you open it up
and there’s these two little electroids, and you take and push the
button, and let’s say you have a cold sore, you put it on your cold
sore, and somehow, I don’t know how, some scientists figured out
something. It’s actually patented and everything. It goes in and
zaps the cold sore, destroys it, kicks it in the face and destroys
it and the cold sore never shows up.
Isn’t that awesome? How many of you guys want one of these right
now? Really, I gotta get my funnel back up. So this is a physical
product I sell, right. And you’re like, “Well Russell, I don’t sell
information. This isn’t going to work for me.” But imagine if I did
this, how do I turn this into an offer? This is a physical product,
it does what it does. It’s just a thing. And the guy who I buy
these from, he sells it to other people, so I’m not the only one.
It’s a commodity. There’s like 30 other people who sell this same
thing, only mine’s better.
So for me, how do I compete over everyone else, when everyone’s
got the exact same thing, it does the exact same thing. So I have
to turn this from a commodity into an offer, because if it’s a
commodity, I gotta be like, “He’s selling it for $150, I’m going to
sell it for $130.” Then the next guy says, “I’ll sell it for $120.”
“Crap. $110.” “$109” “$105” Boom, boom, boom, soon this thing is
like $90.95 right, retail. That’s the problem when products are
commodities.
Or I could say, “Okay, this is amazing. This helps with cold
sores, but what else could I do with cold sores? What else could I
do? What else could I do?” I could go on Amazon and be like, “Cold
sore cures and remedies.” And I guarantee there’s people on Amazon
who have written books on how to do cold sores. I could message one
and be like, “Hey man, you are the definitive expert on cold sores,
can I interview you talking about all the tricks you know how to
prevent cold sores from happening? I’m sure there’s stuff in your
diet and exercise, right?” like, “Oh yes.’
So I get him on the phone and I interview him, now it’s like,
“Okay, when you buy from anybody you get the same thing, but when
you buy from me you get the cold sore inhibiter, plus you also get
the interview with this dude over here who’s the number one highest
stars on Amazon, writer of a cold sore book. You get his book as
well, plus my interview where I actually interviewed him. And then
number three, there are 7 supplements I’ve found that help get rid
of cold sores. 7. There’s a whole bunch of people who claim the
supplements, but there are actually 7 that work, and there’s two
that work almost instantly. The second you feel a cold sore coming,
you pop these two pills, gone instantly.
And I wrote a report about those, because I want to make sure
you get the right ones, if you get the wrong one, you get the right
product but you get the wrong brand, you are screwed. So I’m going
to show you the 7 supplements as well. So you get this first, plus
you’re going to get the interview with the number one expert in the
world, plus you’re going to get the 7 supplements, the actual brand
names, where to buy them, how to get the discounts to all the 7
supplements. And the next thing you’re going to get is, blah, blah,
blah.”
I take a physical product and I’m bundling information around it
to increase the value of the thing. So it doesn’t matter if you’re
selling information or not, if you’re selling physical products,
it’s the same thing. Information is the easiest way to bundle this.
The problem though with infomercials, the only way they bundle is
like, “If you call now, I’ll give you another one for free.” That’s
what almost all ecommerce people do. It’s like, that’s good but
its, “Now I got two of these things. So I have cold sores I can
have one at my house and one at my office. That’s kind of weird.”
But if I bundle with information products, it doesn’t increase the
cost to you at all, but dramatically increases the value.
Now when I’m competing with the 30 other people selling this, I
can sell it for higher and people will still buy from me versus
everybody else because my offer is better than theirs.
Another good example of this is my friend Mr. Stephen Larsen.
How many of you guys know Stephen? So this is a good example for
any of you guys who are like, ‘I’m here Russell, but I don’t have a
product yet.” So Stephen he has his own products, but he’s also an
affiliate for Clickfunnels, he’s an affiliate for a bunch of other
things. So we did the one funnel away launch, the 10x launch, a
couple other things, he said, “Okay, Russell already created an
amazing offer that he’s selling, but there’s a thousand other
affiliates that are all selling this product as well. Everyone’s
doing it, so how do I compete against this.” He said, “Okay, here’s
Russell’s offer, how can I make my own offer to make it
better?”
People always ask me, “How can I make money as an affiliate,
Russell?” The first thing you do is you don’t sell the product that
they’re already selling. That’s like, “Buy Russell’s thing.” That’s
like number one on your list, then it’s like, “Now I need to make
my own offer.” How many of you guys bought the one funnel away
challenge from somebody and then bought it again from Stephen later
because you wanted his bonus? Okay how many of you guys have bought
twice from Stephen because you wanted the new bonus the second
time? There’s a lesson in this.
So even if you don’t have a product yet, that’s okay. Find
someone else with a product and then, “How can I now make an
amazing offer? What could I bundle together to increase the value
of this offer so people buy from me versus somebody else? Or if
they did buy from somebody else, they’ll also buy from me because
my offer is so valuable.”
Alright, so this is kind of the exercise for you guys to start
doing. Going through here and listing out all the different ideas
you can have. So tonight, this weekend with that paper I handed
out, start writing out these things, start putting them out there,
and start putting as many as you can think of, and make it, the
biggest problem you can have is you’re kind of putting in your
potential products that are going to make an offer, is to be like,
“Oh, that’s not going to work. That’s not going to work.” When you
start it, be creative.
When we first did this probably 12 years ago, we sat in front of
a whiteboard and we were doing this and we were like, we were at a
point where we needed a funnel to save us from everything. It was
the bottom of everything. We were like, ‘We have to make the most
irresistible offer ever or else we’re shutting the doors.” So we
sat in front of a whiteboard and I’m like, ‘Okay, what can we give
them? Okay, they can fly to my house and I will give them a massage
and feed them food, and then we’re going to do this, and then we’re
going to do this….” We made all this crazy stuff, we had it all on
the whiteboard, and then we started saying, “What’s the offer
actually going to be?” and we’re like, “Well, pretty sure my wife
would be mad if I come to my house and had to give them massages.
So let’s not do that one.” But it was there. And then it’s like,
“Well, what if we did this and this…”
It gave us the time to brainstorm and then from there we start
pulling things over to actually make an amazing offer. Anytime I
create a new funnel, new thing, I’m always looking at creating an
offer, with as many potential things as possible, then think, “What
can I actually create?” pull them into my little stack slide and
it’s like, “Now I know what I need to create to increase the
software.”
Now, one thing I want to mention is well, the reason why I have
a whole bunch of things as well is because there’s more than just
one offer in every funnel. You guys understand that? So I need a
lot of stuff that I can give away.
So if you look at this right here, there’s an offer on my ad.
I’m trying to get someone to click on something. So I’m like,
“Click on this thing and I’m going to give you your free report.”
There’s an offer happening there. Luckily that was one of my ideas
that I already created, because I can now pull that down and it
becomes this. Then they land on my landing page and I’m like, “I
need their email address, I’m trading them. What am I going to
have? Well I have something up here I’ve already created, potential
products. I’m going to give them my interview with so and so.”
“Give me your email address and I’ll give you an interview with so
and so.” Boom there’s the next product.
Then it’s like, “Now buy this product, I’m going to give you
these 5 things.” Then my upsell is these three or four things. I
think so many of us go into this thinking, “Okay, here’s the
product I’m going to sell and I’m going to try and build a funnel
around it.” And it’s like, no, no, no. Understand that it’s like,
you’re looking at more of how do you serve your customers? What are
all the things you could possibly give them to do that, and then
you’re breaking down the different parts of the funnel.
Okay, alright, come back to the hook, story, offer. So that was
the offer section of this part.
