Marketing Secrets

I wasn’t sure if I wanted to share this one. In this episode, I take the hot seat in an impromptu interview led by my good friend Annie Grace during a late-night session at our recent Inner Circle meeting. Annie, who is renowned for her work with This Naked Mind, proposed an intriguing idea to uncover the secrets behind my productivity and how I manage to accomplish so much. After some contemplation, we decided to go ahead with this interview, and the result was an insightful and engaging conversation that I believe many entrepreneurs will find valuable. During the session, Annie asked a series of compelling questions that dug deep into my daily routines, my mindset, and the strategies I use to get things done. We discussed how I handle numerous projects at once, each with the potential to generate significant revenue, and how I maintain my energy and enthusiasm amidst a packed schedule. The feedback from those in the room was overwhelmingly positive, with many entrepreneurs resonating with the insights share

Let’s dive into a preview of what you can expect from this year’s Funnel Hacking LIVE event with Kristine Mirelle, Tim Shields, and Ruth Soukup. Each of these experts brings a unique perspective on driving traffic, creating engaging content, and mastering course creation. You don't want to miss their insights, especially if you're looking to take your marketing strategies to the next level. Kristine Mirelle, known for her hilarious ads, shares her journey from being a musician living in a garage to becoming a successful marketer without an internet connection. Her simple, low-budget, yet highly effective ads have driven significant traffic and lowered ad costs. Kristine will reveal her secrets to creating viral, humorous content that not only grabs attention but also dramatically reduces advertising expenses.

In my last Inner Circle, one of the last strategies I shared was on a topic that, surprisingly, still drives more than 50% of the traffic to ClickFunnels – Affiliate Marketing. Despite the buzz around Facebook, Google, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube ads, affiliate marketing remains a powerful and often overlooked strategy. I shared my insights and strategies on how to build a successful affiliate program, drawing from my personal experience and the journey of launching ClickFunnels. In the early days, traffic generation was primarily through joint ventures and affiliate partnerships. This episode highlights how a properly managed affiliate strategy can significantly reduce the risks and costs associated with paid advertising. Plus, instead of paying upfront for ads, affiliate marketing allows you to pay only when a sale is made, making it a stress-free and efficient way to grow your business. Key Highlights: Two-Tier Affiliate Programs: Understand the benefits of offering a two-tier affiliate program to ince

Almost half the speakers at this year’s Funnel Hacking LIVE are talking about e-commerce, and there’s a reason why! First, we’ve made some incredible advancements in ClickFunnels' e-commerce engine with the groundbreaking partnership with Zendrop. This partnership allows ClickFunnels users to seamlessly add over a million products to their stores or funnels, revolutionizing the way we approach ecommerce and dropshipping. To highlight the focus on e-commerce at this year’s Funnel Hacking LIVE, I inquired from two remarkable speakers for this year’s first-time virtual event, Trey Lewellen and Alison Prince. Trey Lewellen, one of the top e-commerce sellers on the ClickFunnels platform and a co-trainer in the One Funnel Away Challenge, joins me to share his journey and strategies.

A few weeks ago, I had the unique opportunity to speak at Pace Morby's event. Now, I rarely speak at events outside of Funnel Hacking LIVE, but for Pace I made an exception. His community of real estate investors is remarkable, and I was excited to share insights on how they could turn their knowledge into thriving businesses. This presentation was especially thrilling because many attendees weren’t our normal crowd. Most were unfamiliar with online marketing and info products, which allowed me to open up a whole new world of possibilities. During the presentation, I delved into some foundational concepts that have been pivotal in my journey. From Myron Golden’s four levels of value and my three levels of selling, to providing a framework that the attendees could apply immediately. It was a dynamic session where I not only shared the full blueprint, but also showcased how simple ideas can transform into profitable ventures. One of my favorite highlights was discussing the power of selling information products
