If you are fired up and you're just ready to rock and roll, give me a quad tap. Dump button's called it a quad tap. All right, cool. The title of this, of our meeting today, this is very important, our marketing quickie today was ... How did I phrase it, I wish I could see my own title. It basically says you're not really a marketer until you've spent your own money. Here is my rant.

We had a chance to interview someone the other day which was really cool and this person was talking about how they're a marketer and has a degree in marketing and all these marketing things right? There was one example, and this was like four or five things that have happened in the last month. Then I was helping some people build out their funnels and I had a chance to work with their marketing team. This is three different companies and I was shocked at the incompetence of these marketing teams. These guys are, "I am a marketer. I have a degree in marketing. I'm a marketing person." Right? Some of them like, "I've read all the books, I've read the copyrighting courses, I'm an amazing copyright." All these things, right?

They're using this as their street credibility on why they're an amazing marketer, right? When push comes to shove, we sit down. Okay, let's figure out a campaign, let's build something, let's do something. They've got nothing. Zero actual skills, okay? I reference that with me on this side. Right now I'm a self proclaimed marketing dude, I've got no degree in marketing, but guess what I do have? I have spent from my own wallet, and on my wallet I've got click funnel sticker so for those of you who want some click funnel swag, the swag store is coming soon. This is my credentials.

I have freaking spent a crap ton of my own money testing marketing and I found out what worked. Guess what else I found out? I found out what didn't work. The things that didn't work, I stopped doing and things that did work, I kept on doing. You want to know why? I was gambling my own freaking money. This is the difference between marketers like all of us and the rest of the marketing world out there who they read books and they talk about it and they spend other people's money and they've got no actual consequence if they screw it up. I got a friend who got a job in a marketing company and they have a budget, like here's our budget it's 30,000 dollars a month.

You need to go spend it and your goal is to get as many impressions as possible. That was it. He's out there spending 30,000 grand a month on ads and he's like, "Man, I am a marketer." You are not a marketer. You've got no accountability whatsoever, all you had to do was just spend money and there's no ... All they wanted was impressions, they want to brand you. That does not make you a marketer. What makes you a marketer is you spending your money out of your own wallet to find out what actually works and until you're willing to do that, you're never going to become a marketer, okay?

That's it. It's very important to understand that because you are going to learn what works and when it's your money and you're gambling your own money, you make difference choices. You think through things. You look at your funnel two or three times like, "Man, is this worth, is someone going to click on this or not? Is someone going to actually give me money or not? Is someone going to give me like?" It makes you think through things way differently when you're gambling your own money and until you're willing to do that, you're not a marketer.

I don't care how much school you go to, how many, how much seminars you go to or whatever. Until you're willing to gamble your own money on your funnel, your project, your dream, you're not a real marketer, okay? That's where we're at. Now it's time for all of you guys to become marketers, okay? I know some of you guys are doing this stuff, projects for other people, which is cool but I want you guys to be good, not ... Actually, I don't want you to be good. I want you guys to be freaking great, okay? The only way for you to become great is for you to take this money and to gamble it on your own thing and try because that is the test.

That is where you figure out what works. I was sitting in this copyrighting things with all these famous copyrighters and they're talking about stuff that they believe and, "Jean Schwartz said in 1913 that a headline with a quotation mark blah blah." All these things that they've heard and they say, but none of you guys have tested out their own money, okay? How do I know these things, right? People are like, "Russell, how do you know so much about marketing?" Because I'm freaking obsessed with it and I spend my own money.

The 108 proven split test, all those tests come from me gambling my own money. The reason why it was important for me to test and find out what works is because that money's coming out of my pocket. If I screw it up, this money is going to my kids, or it's going to the ad network so I've got to make sure that I am good and that I'm sharp and if things aren't working I've got to test them and tweak them very, very quickly and figure out what's going to work. Until you're willing to do that and gamble your own money, you're never going to become great. You could be good, but if you want to become great, that's what it takes and that's the game plan, you guys. I hope that inspires you and gets you motivated and gives you ...

I'm sure it makes some of you guys nervous and like, "Oh, I don't want to do that. I don't want to become a real marketer, then, I'm out." Some of you guys are like, "Man, that's it. If I'm going to become good, this is how we sharpen our ax. It's not just by studying and learning but it's by doing and testing it and that's the way it works. Who needs [inaudible 00:08:11] marketing? Exactly. This is a little bit scarier than blackjack because blackjack, there's a good chance of coming back but you think about, people ask me, "Russell, how did you get so good at building funnels?"

I knew that it was my own money going into this and I didn't have a lot of it at first, so I had to be very, very careful, so I am looking at 1,000 little stones to figure out what do I think is going to be the best possible way to build this? I heard this story one time from Gary Halbert, when he was out there before he launched the Code of Arms sales letter and at the time people were, the big thing was big envelopes with, "Teaser copy," on the outside of it and all of these things. He sat back and said if my life depended on this campaign being successful, or my wife and my kids were taken away and if this campaign's not successful, they're dead, what would I do differently? He started thinking through, he said, "Well, if my life depended on this envelope getting opened, I'm going to make it a normal envelope and I'm going to put the stamp on crooked.

I'm going to hand write the address, because I need someone to think that is real, right? He thought through that and really put himself in that thinking like if this is the end result, either I win or I lose, what am I going to do different? He built this campaign which became the most mailed sales letter in the history of the world, made hundreds of millions of dollars off it, okay? That's the key, you guys. That's the key, okay, because as soon as you're spending other people's money and you're not spending your money at all, it's okay, it's like, "Eh, that's good enough. Yeah, it looks great."

When you start gambling your own money it changes everything. That's when you become a marketer. That's when I'll give you guys the degree, when you start spending your own money, just email me, I will freaking write a degree and send it to you because you will deserve one at that point, okay? I'll give you Master's in Marketing from Bruntson University. It will be awesome so anyway, that's about it guys, I'm going to bounce. It's the end of the day, I'm going to go play with my kids and it's going to be a lot of fun so I hope you guys had a good time today. If you want to keep doing these periscopes and these mentions, I'll do them every, not every day but most days so I'll keep jumping on with you guys and someone asked about dot com secrets.
