IF THEY CAN DO IT, YOU CAN DO IT In my early days of entrepreneurship, I'd had some small wins. Nothing big. I wanted to make a million dollars… but I also sorta figured that was impossible. Until I watched John Reese launch a course that he was selling for $1,000. He was the big internet marketing guy at the time. I was studying the launch — he'd bought ads, had affiliates promoting it, and did a ton of other cool stuff. And I'll never forget… in an 18-hour window of time, he'd sold 1,000 copies of the $1,000 course. That's a MILLION dollars. I was this young 23-year-old kid… I couldn't believe it. It destroyed a lot of beliefs I had about entrepreneurship and making money… that it was hard… that I couldn't do it… that it took a long time to build wealth… And then I saw this guy. He had the same amount of time as I had. He was a normal human being just like me. He didn't seem particularly special. But in 18 hours, he made a million dollars. The realization hit me… If he can do that, I can figure out how to do that. It changed my life. Ever since that experience, I'm constantly on the lookout for the next "breakthrough" where I can watch someone just like me do something that I thought was impossible. That's why me and my team visited Dreamforce in 2018, to reignite our vision for ClickFunnels. It's why I've created an inner circle of my dream clients. And it's why I attend so many masterminds every year. For me, it's not only about watching other people do the impossible… but about showing other people what's possible. If you find yourself doubting yourself… or thinking that you aren't capable of achieving your goals… Then watch someone else do it. It's one of the most powerful ways to break through your own glass ceiling 🙂 - Russell "if I can do it, you can do it" Brunson DON'T OVERSELL YOUR PRODUCTS OR SERVICES Let us know if this has ever happened to you. You go somewhere and you know exactly what you want. Maybe you've gone to buy a specific car, or you're going to look at a house, or it could be something as simple as a specific piece of clothing. But you already know what you want… and you're just going through the routine to go and get it. Then a salesperson comes up and talks your ear off. They show you other stuff you hadn't even thought about buying. They tell you stories you don't really care about. And in the end… you're so flustered that you just end up deciding to leave without buying anything. Been there? Us too. In this recent Instagram video from Russell, he shared the results of a two-landing-page test. The first landing page was quite long with a lot of additional copy, testimonials, etc. The second landing page was a lot simpler and shorter… In this case, the second landing page converted 80% better! Even though it's way shorter and provides a lot less detail, that's actually a good thing… probably because the offer is clear, it's simple, and people just want their problem solved. It's entirely possible to "oversell" people on a long landing page for an offer that is clear and simple — like the car salesman who talks too much. So make sure you test to see whether your offer performs better with a long landing page… or with a short and simple landing page.

The campaign featured a website where users could type commands for a person in a chicken suit to perform in a live video stream. The tagline "Get chicken just the way you like it" was tied to promoting Burger King's TenderCrisp chicken sandwich. The interactive and entertaining nature of the campaign encouraged users to share the link with friends, making it one of the first major examples of a successful viral marketing campaign. The campaign's innovative use of interactive media and user engagement set a new standard for online marketing strategies.
