Episode #241 – A Few Things I’m Doing To...

Hey everybody, this is Russell Brunson and welcome to Marketing In Your Car. Hey guys and gals and friends and a bunch of people I care about. Today’s been fun; I started my first day of my Snapchat journey. So I don’t know if I’m doing it right or wrong, or if I’m annoying. I don’t know but it’s been fun. So for those that aren’t Snapchatters yet, time to download the Snapchat app and search my name, it’s Russell Brunson. I think you can find me that way, I believe. I don’t know, I’m still figuring that part out. I would recommend doing it, because I’m showing behind the scenes. Everyone’s asking me what I do all day long, “What’s your morning routine?” So I’m showing it in quick little 10 second chunks. I think that’s how you do it right.

Basically the concept is throughout the day I go and as I’m doing cool things, I show the cool things I’m doing. So this morning I woke up, I was in the supplement closet, it showed me taking supplements, which ones. Then I had a morning coaching session with Tara and then I was working my Trello board, so I showed that. Then I went on a run and I showed that. I was about to start this Marketing In Your Car podcast and I showed that. So I’m showing all these little pieces of it, so I think for you guys it’s like once a day, if you log in, you’ll see behind the scenes of behind the scenes.

So as you probably, I’ve been talking about lately, one of the big things, we’re trying to do and I think what you guys should all be doing, but what we should all be trying to do is try to get our community more engaged in the process. So we’re doing a lot of hangouts and live streams, showing behind the scenes of what’s happening, which has been fun, but then Snapchat for me is kind of behind the scenes of the behind the scenes in quick little ten second snips. So you can basically catch up on a full day in like 2 minutes.  Anyway, it’s going to be fun, I’m going to be posting some unique, cool, crazy, funny things and introducing you to some people that I won’t be doing anywhere else. So if you’re not on Snapchat yet, now is the time to go and to become part of that.

Today I’m excited because I’ve been in Inner Circle all last week, and it’s kind of one of those things when you have these projects and things you wanna do and everything’s bottling up and you just want to move and go and do. So finally I have a chance today to move and go and do. I’m excited. We are, this week launching Biohacking Secrets with Anthony which will be cool. But then the other thing, on our side, we have a whole bunch of new updates coming, with just our company. One of the cool things we’re going to be doing that I’m excited for is, and depending on when you hear this, it’ll be live or almost live, we’re changing the Clickfunnels Facebook Group. People don’t like really bonding with the company, it’s kind of bland, so we want to make it more of a movement. So we’re going to change the name of it to Funnel Hackers/Clickfunnels official group or something like that. So that way we can all self –identify with the group and who we are, and not just the software product, which is kind of cool.

And then what’s going to happen is when you first login, and the first time I really saw this I thought it was cool. There’s a Facebook group called the Cult of Copy, it’s a really good copywriting group with really good copywriters hanging out and talking all the time and when you go in that group, Colin, who runs the group, Colin Theriot, I think I can never say his last name right….but he’s got a sticky when you first go in there that’s like, “Hey welcome to the Cult of Copy, here’s all the rules, here’s how it works, here’s the lingo, here’s the core products you need to buy.” Just a list of all the core things when you first join the group. So that’s one of my goals this week, is to build out, maybe even today if I have time. Kind of like, “Here’s the mission statement of our group, here’s the core products and services you need to be able to run your business.” And the cool thing we set up, and it’s not live as of right now, but hopefully by the time you hear this, it’ll be live. If you go to funnelswag.com we have an official Funnel Hackers Kit where you get a Clickfunnels backpack, you get the Funnel Graffiti, you get the I Build Funnels t-shirt, Clickfunnels water bottle. Everything you need to be an official funnel hacker. So basically, I think it’s $100, it basically covers our hard costs and shipping, we’re not making any money on this, we just want to get everyone a Biohacking, not Biohacking, a Funnel Hacking Kit.

So we’ll mail this kit to you, and then from there you get put on a $20 a month continuity program. The $20 a month goes towards a new t-shirt each month. So what’s happening, each month we’re making super cool t-shirts. In fact, if you go to funnelswag.com you can see 5 or 6 of the shirts there. And basically, we’re going to be doing limited edition shirts. So each month, whoever’s a member of that, we will see who’s bill went through that month and we will ship you out that month’s shirt. And they’re going to be one off printing. So that means if you get it, you get it. If you don’t get it, you miss that shirt forever. So there’s some urgency and scarcity built in, because I believe the only that sells anything in this world, besides good copy, and building a good following and personality, there’s a lot of good things. But the number one thing to actually get people to pull their credit card out are urgency and scarcity, so we kind of want to do that. Again, I make zero dollars, in fact, I lose money, I think I lose money on almost all of these because we have so many international people. But I just want to do it so that you guys all have cool funnel swag from us every single month. We also might be slipping in some other cool gifts along the way with the t-shirts. I’m not going announce those, they’re unadvertised bonuses, but cool things you guys will want as a Clickfunnels member.

So that’s kind of what Funnel Swag is all about, is getting you guys all consuming our stuff, wearing our shirts, using our backpacks, water bottles, Mac stickers, oops, did I slip that? We’re working on Mac stickers and a bunch of other cool things for you guys that’ll be part of the Funnel Swag Monthly Kit. For sure, each month you’ll get a t-shirt that will be limited edition and just super cool. Anyway, these are just a few of the things we’re doing, and I hope that it serves as a model for you guys as you’re building up your community and your following and your cult…ture.

That was one of the big things through all of the Inner Circle meetings, was that, as I kind of mentioned through some of these podcasts. So I’m going to start implementing and applying these things and you guys will be able to see them and hopefully you’ll run with them as well. I think I mentioned this before, I see my mission as building cool, creative things and you guys taking them and knocking them off for your community. So feel free to R and D, rip off and deploy these concepts in your market as well, for your people because I think they’re kind of cool.

So that’s what’s happening today. I’m really, really, really excited as you can probably tell, to get to work and to do all these kinds of things. Another cool update, we got last week the float tank in my Biohacking room, so Saturday I wasn’t supposed to float for 3 or 4 days, you’re supposed to let the salt do whatever, but I got excited so the second day I jumped in and floated, is that the right word? Flooted? Floated? So I floated and it was cool, I laid there for 20 minutes and I passed out and woke up 3 hours later. It was almost 1 in the morning and I was getting out and Collette came out like, “I thought you were dead, I was afraid that you had drowned out here.” I was like, “I don’t think it’s possible to drown because there’s a thousand pounds of salt in there to make you float to the top, so I don’t think I could drown if I wanted to.” But I appreciated the thought so, that was cool. And then yesterday was Father’s Day, which was super cool. I don’t know, my kids are the coolest, just seeing them. One of my boys, he drew a big picture of a minion and said, “Dad, you’re one in a minion.” It was so awesome. And then my other son drew a big picture of Yoda and it said, “Dad, Yoda best dad ever!” It was so sweet. I thought that was the two coolest things in the world.  Anyway, it was a good day. With that said, I am almost to the office. I’m going to get to work. I’m building up our community and I hope this gives you guys a couple ideas on things you can do as well. Appreciate you all, have an amazing day and I’ll talk to you guys again soon.
