by Russell Brunson | Pg. 5 If you have followed my journey as an entrepreneur, you know that I like to move
fast. In the first 10 years of my business, I launched over 150 funnels. (Yes, that
means I was averaging MORE than one new funnel—along with upsells and down-
sells and all the products inside of each offer on every page and more—every

JANUARY LE T TER 5
Whoever can spend the most money
to acquire a customer wins.
When you start looking at any good company, you’ll notice there is an evolution over time that allows them to start
spending more money to acquire a customer. The phases look like this.

Most companies start with a product, and if it’s something that the market wants, then they will get some initial
traction and start making money. Over time, most products become commodities. If you’re the only chiropractor in
your town and your product is an adjustment, it’s likely that over time other chiropractors will move into town and
offer the same product. And then you are selling a commodity. Or if you’re selling supplements, or physical or informa-
tion products, as other people start selling similar products to yours, you start to become a commodity, meaning you’re
selling essentially the same thing as everyone else around you.

The biggest problem with commodities is that when an end consumer is looking for something to purchase, and all
of the products or services are the same, they will default to whoever has the cheapest one. Yes, that means the
way you win when you’re selling a commodity is to lower your prices and cut into your margins, giving you LESS
money to spend on acquiring a customer.

I once heard Dan Kennedy say, “There is no strategic advantage to being the second-lowest price leader in
town, but there is a huge strategic advantage to being the most expensive.” So if you can’t be Walmart, then
you want to increase your perceived value to become the most expensive.

How do you increase the perceived value so you can become the most expensive? You switch from just offering
a product or a commodity, which anyone can copy, to creating an actual offer that is unique to you. This will give
you the ability to charge more money for anything that you are selling.

6 BEHIND THE SCENES / MARKE TING SECRE TS


As I started going through all of the Dan Kennedy archives, I
saw this evolution inside of their business over the
decades as well. When Dan first launched his newsletter
in 1992, he had one of the very few marketing
newsletters in the world. When Bill Glazer bought his
company 10+ years later, he relaunched the newsletter
not just as a newsletter, but as an irresistible offer, which
he called the “Most Incredible Free Gift Ever”or MIFGE. Moving from a product or service to an offer is the first
step that will allow you to spend more money to acquire
a customer. Bill ran this offer for over a decade, but most
of his traffic for the MIFGE offer came from affiliates who
emailed their lists to promote the offer. Bill wasn’t able to
spend a lot of money up front on advertising because he
wasn’t able to collect much money up front.

People would sign up for membership, and then he


gave them a free three-month trial. Because it took him
almost three months before he started to make any
money from his new customers, he wasn’t ever able to
1992: No B.S. Marketing began as just a newletter scale with paid ads. In fact, after Bill sold the company,
the new owners never fostered their relationships with
the affiliates, and over the last decade, the company
shrunk every month as people would unsubscribe from
the newsletter, but no new blood was being pushed to
get people to rejoin.

When I acquired the company, I knew that we needed


to relaunch it. I knew that if we created a really good
offer (a new version of the MIFGE) we could get affiliates
to promote it, but that would be a very short-term plan. I
wanted something that I could start spending $10K or more
on per day for paid ads to get a consistent stream of new
customers. To do that, I needed to evolve to the next phase
of business, from product => offer => sales funnel.

Bill used this irresistible offer of giving away $631.92

STEP #2:

Order Form Bump


The order form bump is literally the closest thing to free money that you’ll ever find in your life. If you don’t have
an order form bump, it’s time to stop EVERYTHING you’re doing right now and go and add one to your funnel. Often-
times, this little checkbox will completely cover my advertising costs!

I always think of the order form bump like the gum, Tic Tacs, and National Enquirer you see at the grocery store as
you are checking out. They are quick impulse purchases that dramatically increase the revenue per customer. Here is an
example of an order form bump, and the feedback from one Funnel Hacker (Dean Holland) after he implemented it.

For the new MIFGE offer, we decided to make Dan’s original Magnetic Marketing System the order form bump
at a HUGE discount of just $47.

JANUARY LE T TER 9
STEP #3:

One-Time Offer #1

Currently we have a 55.04% conversion rate on this


order form bump!

At this point, we could spend up to $108.59 to


acquire a customer and still break even!

10 BEHIND THE SCENES / MARKE TING SECRE TS LE T TER


After the order form bump, the next easiest way to increase your average cart value or ACV is through an upsell, or
what we call a one-time offer. The first “yes” in any transaction is always the hardest. That is why we make the front-
end offer SO IRRESISTIBLE that people have to stop what they’re doing and go run to grab their credit cards. The next
yeses are a lot easier, because customers don’t have to go and make a new buying decision—they just have to
say “yes” to an upgrade.

For this first upsell, we decided to offer both a digital and physical version of Dan Kennedy’s Lifetime Of Work swipe
files. We priced the digital at $297 and the physical at $2,497. Notice how we structured the offer: the digital
version comes with five volumes, but the physical one comes with all seven! We structured it this way to try to push
people toward the more expensive offer.

If someone clicked on the “No Thanks” button for this, we had a pop-up that would offer them a downsell version
(without the bonuses) at $197.

JANUARY LE T TER 11
Are you starting to see how this game is played
when you have a funnel that is converting? At this
point, after OTO #1, we have the ability to pay
$252.73 to acquire a customer!

But we’re not done yet. We have one more upsell


in this initial funnel.

STEP #4:

ONE-TIME OFFER #2
In this step, we created another irresistible offer,
giving people access to three of Dan’s Renegade
Millionaire courses for the price of one!

Whoever can spend the most money

When you start looking at any good company, you’ll
notice there is an evolution over time that allows them
to start spending more money to acquire a customer. The
phases look like this.
Most companies start with a product, and if it’s some-
thing that the market wants, then they will get some

products become commodities. If you’re the only chiro-
practor in your town and your product is an adjustment,
it’s likely that over time other chiropractors will move

are selling a commodity. Or if you’re selling supplements,
or physical or information products, as other people start
selling similar products to yours, you start to become a
commodity, meaning you’re selling essentially the same
thing as everyone else around you.

The biggest problem with commodities is that when an


end consumer is looking for something to purchase, and all

Now comes the backend... The most successful one-time offer for ecomm

For example, both the Zuma and Au Bon funnels


offer the same product on the back end as the front
end, but at a discount.

Take a look...
Conversion Tip: The secret to making your first
upsell work, and work really well, is to give your
customers a reason WHY they should add more
boxes, jars, or bottles.

If you were to just throw out more of the same,


people would automatically think, “But I just bought
this...why would I want more?”

So, give them a reason. It can be anything...

“There’s a worldwide shipping problem and our ingre-


dients have become even more difficult to obtain...”

Or…

“Our warehouse made an inventory ‘oopsie’


when ordering more Zuma...and now we have
TOO many boxes

and not enough space.”

Or…

“Because we’re being held hostage and things are


getting scary…”
You can see we’re offering an option to choose either
three more boxes of Zuma Juice and save $84, or It doesn’t matter. Just give them a reason.

little more “breathing room” to choose either/or
instead of a straight “no” to a single option. And when you have a successful upsell #1, then you’ll
have a much more successful upsell #2 (which we’ll
get to in just a sec).

JANUARY LE T TER 19
STEP 5: Downsell #1
So you logically work your way out of buying an
entire shelf of cookies, and you start putting them
back...but you keep one box.

Because again, the deal is STILL too good to pass up,


and one box isn’t going to hurt anyone, right?

Same idea applies to your downsell.

STEP 6: One-Time Offer #2

Okay, next is upsell #2. Have a look...

Now, if someone says “no” to the upsell one, they’ll be


shown our downsell, where we offer “one more” of the
same product but at a 50% discount.

This is an “Oh, why not...go ahead and toss it into


the cart” kind of offer.

It's like when you go to your grocery store and see


that your favorite cookies are on sale. And this deal
is so crazy good you would be silly NOT to take ad-
vantage of it.

So you start loading up your cart with cookies.

But then...you realize your'e simply hungry and that For your second upsell, you want to offer some-

In other words, if you sell a supplement on the front end, don't sell flashlights on the back end hoping it will
convert. I think we can agree on that, right?

Again, back to the grocery store analogy. When you pick up eggs, oftentimes you’ll also pick up butter,
cheese, or milk too, right?

So for our Zuma Greens Juice funnel, we are offering Zuma Red Juice, which is a very logical step for the customer.

They have their veggies, now they need their fruits!

But keep in mind, because we're introducing an entirely new product that isn't shown on the front end,
we need to spend some time introducing a new problem and offer the new solution.

So don't rush it—really take your time and make it "new."

For the Zuma upsell #2, our new problem is "slow metabolism" and our new solution is Zuma Reds.

Same goes for Au Bon Bone Broth. We're introducing a new problem ("late-night food cravings") and we're
offering them a new solution we know they will love, which is chocolate or vanilla bone broth powder that
tastes amazing and works great to curb food cravings at night.

Take a look...

As you can see, we don't give them just one- or three-box options like we did with OTO #1.

Since we are introducing a new product to the customer—almost as if they are seeing a brand-new sales
page for the very first time—we wanted to have the same package deal layout as we did on the front end
(one, three, and six boxes).

JANUARY LE T TER 21
STEP 7: Downsell #2

For our downsell #2, we simply did a rinse and repeat of downsell #1, where we offer “add one more to
your order” with a one-time 50% discount.

And there you have it!

I just took you on a journey through two of our funnels to show you how we’re stacking our offers to make
them “new” and increase our AOV.

Now it’s your turn. Take a look at your ecomm funnel(s) and see how you’re stacking your offers.

Are you offering free e-guides as “companion pieces” to your product? (It can be as simple as a “5-Day
Challenge Checklist” to get people to USE your offer.)

Are your upsells congruent and in-line with your initial front-end offer?

Remember: Don’t overthink it.

As long as you slap something together that follow our stack and upsell/downsell flow, you'll be making
more dough while at the same time increasing your customers' lifetime value.

Okay, this is getting too long and Russell is now pacing the office, shirtless and holding a potato gun,
asking for me to “come out and play...”

Until next month, sweetums,
