This Traffic Secrets book, by Rusell Brunson, is kind of like the third part of any successful trilogy. Lord Of The Rings, The Matrix, The Godfather, The Dark Knight, and many others that are very familiar. If you can get this excellent book and read it from cover to cover, you will learn many things that will make your funnels more successful. I can also help here by discussing this through this article.
What is Traffic Secrets Book by Russell Brunson about?
Traffic Secrets shows you ways to drive traffic to your website. It breaks down all the possible sources online to reach your target market and shows step by step how to leverage them.
I mentioned earlier the trilogy of books that this book is a part of.
It is the 3rd in a series of these Russell Brunson books. This is the same Russell Brunson who is one of the owners of the ClickFunnels product that has made many people millionaires and has over 70K members worldwide as of today.
The first book is DotcomSecrets which is all about the science behind sales funnels and the second is Expert Secrets which explains the art behind this same concept.
I kind of like to picture that this Traffic Secrets book Russell Brunson wrote, serves as the one that will complete the story behind this sales funnel idea. It will definitely put the picture together and fill in any missing information that the first 2 books may have missed. It will do what the usual 3rd movie in any successful trilogy will do.
You will have your AHA moment after reading the last page of this book and say to yourself that finally, you know what funnels are all about.
Let me now talk about the origins of this book which is another fascinating story by itself before I discuss what this book is all about.
First, it is not Russell Brunson who really came up with this unique idea for this book and course. And it was from John Reese.
This guy is famous for the simple fact that he earned more than $1 million in a span of 24 hours and without spending a single penny for this same course.
You see, Russell is a very competitive guy and he models himself after John. Of course, he read this book and got inspired by it.
He immediately began looking for ways on how he can set his own record. He wanted to make $1 million in 1 calendar year. He tried for 2 years consecutively but failed.
He finally got this breakthrough in year 3 when he made more than the $1 million goal with months to spare.
Let me tell you another thing about Russell.
He always makes it a point to beat his own previous record and dream of a new one right away. He always sees the next goal as his 4-minute mile.
Why a 4-minute mile you ask?
A 4-minute mile before years ago is always considered as impossible to achieve.
Lots of people tried until finally someone named Roger Bannister did it and finished under 4 minutes. Within 46 days, another guy named John Landy also finishes this challenge. And pretty soon, many people have also done the same.
You can safely say that this 4-minute mile goal is kind of like a challenge that you first think that you cannot simply get over. Eventually, you will do enough that you will vault over it before you realize it. You will go on looking for your next 4-minute mile goal immediately thereafter.
Russell is inspired by his success and wants to share his secrets with others. He wants other people to become successful just like he did. And one way that he thought of is that if he can give away this content to his mentees.
When he asked John if it is possible to give this product away to his members, John flatly refused. Russell did not give up and asked again if he can purchase John’s company so he can make this happen. In the end, they agreed that Russell will pay John just under $1 million dollars for this product.
This is spare change if you will account for the success that Russell has reached since this purchase.
Did you know that he generated $3 million in sales when he presented during Grant Cardone’s 10X Live Event? His presentation is all about sales funnel strategies and driving traffic to it. And he is using Traffic Secrets to do this for his own sales funnels.
And now Russell is coming out with his own version of this book based on John’s original material and has his insights included in it. Since Russell is a direct marketing expert, you can surely expect that the principles behind this concept will be part of this material.
I am sure that by now you are interested in what this book and course are all about. Let me give you an overview of the materials.
What Is Traffic Secrets All About?
You and I are both aware of how important traffic is to any online business. Whether this traffic is coming from paid sources or not, this is critical for without it, you will not be getting any leads that can be converted to sales.
If you find yourself stuck in these following situations, then Traffic Secrets is perfect for you:
- Your business is not doing well right now and you are looking for novel ways to refresh it
- You are selling a physical product and you would like to learn how Amazon and other e-commerce platforms can drive traffic towards your own site
- You do not carry a service or product presently but are looking for ways to make money online; you have heard that affiliate marketing is the right way to go
- You are using several traffic-driving strategies but feel you need to diversify your methods
And that is why you really have to get your hands on this book and the course. It will give you an idea of how to come up with the right traffic system. You will thank yourself later for taking the courage and time to go through with this exercise.
Let us discuss this more.
What Will You Learn From Traffic Secrets
First, you will learn about the 3 types of traffic and how to maximize each one of them to your advantage. These are:
- Hot Traffic
- Warm Traffic
- Cold Traffic
There is a big distinction between these types.
Hot traffic means people who know what products they want because of a pressing need. They are almost there in terms of making the buying decision. You will learn that they are expensive to target through paid ads, although you can get the highest conversion from this type of traffic.
Warm traffic refers to people who know that there are solutions to their needs, although they do not know about your service or product. When they google their questions, they usually search for the “best item for their (needs)”.
Lastly, cold traffic points out to people who are simply unaware of any service or product that will address their concerns. Usually, when they do their searches, they preface their questions with “how to”.
Cold traffic is the cheapest one to target with paid traffic.
