Offer Lab: The New Way to Make Money Online (That’s Actually Fun Again!) | #Sales - Ep. 66

CRM was supposed to improve customer relationships.

Instead, it's shorthand for customer rage machine.

Your CRM can't explain why a customer's package took five detours?

Reboot your inner piece and scream into a pillow.

It's okay.

On the ServiceNow AI platform, CRM stands for something better.

AI agents don't just track issues, they resolve them, transforming the entire customer experience.

So breathe in and breathe out.

Bad CRM was then.

This is ServiceNow.

This is the Russell Brunson show.

Hey, what's up, everybody?

This is Russell.

Welcome back to the show.

I hope you guys are doing fantastic today.

If you follow me online anywhere, social, email, all the other places, you know that this week and last week, all I've been talking about is this brand new platform that we are launching called Offer Lab.

I'm curious, have you seen it?

Have you seen the noise I've been creating?

Hopefully, you have.

I'm really excited about this platform because it is a new way for people to make money.

In fact,

we have a live event coming up this week.

I'm going to be showing 17 different ways to make money on this platform.

And the platform is really cool, as you will see.

But

it's something that affiliates can use to make money in a brand new way.

It's like the evolution of affiliate marketing for offer owners.

If you have a product to get other people to promote and sell your products inside of their funnels, inside of my funnels.

It's one of the coolest things in the world.

Anyway, if you haven't been paying attention online, we've been doing some really cool pre-launch videos and visually, ideally, you can go online and actually watch them because they are beautiful.

But I'm going to let you listen in behind the scenes because the message is still the same and very important because it's the future of selling.

You know, I've been talking about

marketing on the internet for 25 years.

The last year I spent a lot of time talking about selling online because our big selling online event we've been doing.

But I believe the future where things are going is all about collaboration.

It's the next big shift for entrepreneurs.

Instead of just selling things in your own silos, it's selling them with people, cutting out Zuckerberg, and cutting in friends and partners and a bunch of other cool things.

And so, what I want to do is I wanted to actually let you guys plug in and listen to the very first of our pre-launch videos.

So, it doesn't matter if you're at the gym or working out, whatever you're doing, I want you to listen closely because this will help you understand the vision behind what we're doing.

Why I'm creating Offer Lab, what's the purpose of it, why are we doing this whole thing, and why should you actually care?

So, I hope you enjoy this.

And we'll jump right into Offer Lab pre-launch video number one.

We've seen so many breakthroughs in how we sell online, but every online sale today is built on moments like these.

1991, the internet goes public.

Pizza Hut sells the first large pepperoni.

Amazon sells its first book.

2000s, websites explode.

Cyber Monday is born.

Visit our website at www.shop.

Victoriously.

All you do is point the click.

Here are my grave.

Facebook ads flip the script.

2014, ClickFunnels arrive.

Funnels go mainstream.

This will be a comprehensive review.

The influencer economy explodes.

Attention becomes a new currency.

I will have everything linked down below.

Then, TikTok shops, Snapchat ads, AI.

Tension got faster.

Sales got harder.

Everything starts still

cluttered.

And now,

where are we?

So, what's next for selling online?

You think about it, AI is rewriting all of the rules.

People's sales are up, they're down, they're sideways, and nobody really knows how long this is going to last for.

Or why, like, I don't know, right now everything just kind of sucks.

Entrepreneurship is the loneliest job in the world.

Right now, everybody's competing against each other as opposed to working together like we used to.

don't know where to go.

I'm feeling lonely.

Lonely,

something gotta change.

Entrepreneurship in the last decade has become a solo sport, which is unfortunate because it wasn't supposed to be that way.

I've been looking for you.

I think it's because all of these all-in-one platforms tell you that you could literally do it all by yourself.

But the reality is, should you?

Maybe that's the problem.

What's up, guys?

Hey, Hey, Offer Lab, team meeting.

Let's go.

I'll tell you what we're betting on.

We believe that the future of selling is collaborative.

It isn't about just making sales.

It's about making connections.

Yes.

The next big shift isn't what we sell.

It's who we sell with.

So here's what we're trying to do.

It's really simple.

We believe the future of selling is collaborative.

And boom, that fast, that's the very first product in the funnel.

Offer lab is a marketplace where you find offers from all across our community.

It helps all those beginners that that possibly don't have something to sell, they can immediately go grab a product and go out in the marketplace and just start rolling.

I can just grab anybody's offer from anywhere, any platform, pull it into my funnel, and just make the ultimate offer.

It's like the coolest tool ever.

It's a platform where you can sell anything with anyone at any time.

It really maximizes your ROI ability as an affiliate, but it lets you be hands-off as a creator and just let your product go change the world.

Now let's say I want to change this funnel and sell my own products in it.

I can as well I can upload my own offer and check this out.

I I could be like, you know, instead of Robert Kiyosaki, I want to throw in my product on the front end and boom, the funnel works the exact same way, all in under 30 seconds.

That's Offer Lab.

Yeah, let's go.

All right, that's what we're building.

But it only works if you also agree that selling online doesn't have to be a solo sport, but instead that it's better, it's easier, and it's way more fun when we actually work together.

I'm Russell Brunson and our mission over the last decade has been simple.

Help entrepreneurs build and sell their products online.

And with ClickFunnels, we did that.

Over 2,700 entrepreneurs joined the 2 Comic Club.

417 earned a 2 Comic Club X Award.

146 received a 2 Common Club C Award.

And in the process, we created something the industry had never seen before.

More than just a software, a true community.

But over the years, we noticed something.

As the industry exploded, a lot of entrepreneurs began to struggle.

and they started drifting apart.

Not because they were bad at selling selling or because their funnels didn't work, but because they were forced to do it alone.

The industry became fractured.

It was flooded with copycats and trends and closed systems and platforms that refused to work together.

It made the dream and the goal of what we were chasing empty and hollow.

There was a time when I wake up every morning so excited to come to work, to create, to collaborate, to build things together with people I loved.

And now I was isolated.

Me with my own offers, my own ideas, not working with others because we all felt like we were competing for the same customers.

Everything started falling apart.

How would you like to start your own software company for Venice?

Take go high level.

And white level.

You can add your own logo.

You can create a white level software.

A lot of people are doing that.

Ad costs went up.

Funnels stopped converting so much noise in the marketplace, so many offers.

Because of that, we couldn't serve the customers in the way that they deserve.

Instead, we just confused them more.

I've done tons of collaborations over the years.

In fact, it's how I grew my business before I could afford paid ads.

It's how I scaled my businesses after I started using paid ads with friends and partners working together.

And it was magical.

Holy cow.

Yeah.

Over time, it's gotten harder and harder.

The software and the tools we were using that we thought were going to bring us together as a community actually separate us and took us apart.

So where do you think the state of affiliate marketing is right now?

It's been such a nightmare because you're relying on them to pay you out and not like a platform that just automatically sends you the money at specific intervals.

You promote the product, you push it really hard, you even make the leaderboard, right?

You get the prize.

Prize money doesn't get paid and the commissions don't get paid.

Do you think we've gotten more collaborative as industry or less?

Oh yeah, people are in their own little world.

I think a fear for people is like, hey, I'm going to go above and beyond promoting their side.

Are they going to do that for me?

I do think that businesses are suffering because of lack of collaboration.

I see it as a lost art.

Maybe it's because technology's changed.

Maybe, you know, made it easier to kind of do their own thing.

What's your favorite part about affiliate marketing?

That you don't have to create anything.

That's my all-time favorite part.

Like, I can go promote ClickButtons and you got to do the work.

I just love the fact that someone else did all the weight work already and we just get to take what they already proved and go and monetize it.

I think the greatest thing about it is like, hey, here's a link.

Cool.

promote it, make money, don't do anything.

You know, that's kind of the fun part about it.

Talk about easy money.

If I only knew how easy we had it back then, yeah, I still think about that.

I look back on that time and I'm like, oh man, I missed that.

Like, that was the stuff that makes affiliate marketing freaking fun.

I think a lot of times people we get in our this is the problem we're trying to solve with offer lab.

So, what exactly is offer lab?

Actually, uh, let me show you real quick.

It's a platform where sellers and promoters join forces to sell things together.

For context, a seller has something to sell and a promoter sells it.

Also known as...

Are you guys keeping up?

Now a sales funnel traditionally looks like this.

But imagine, instead of creating your own product and your own order form bumps and your own upsells, Instead, you create a collaborative funnel.

It looks similar, but it's different.

The funnels are now made out of people

well other people's products so instead of your own products you now have access to other people's products and you can sell in any way that you want so his offer right here your upsell right there her continuity program over there if you want you can put my order form bump right back over there which means you don't have to create everything yourself i repeat you do not have to create everything yourself

All right, so the first thing I want you to understand, okay, right now you're probably already selling your product on a different platform.

That's okay.

That's not ever going to change.

But what we wanna do is we wanna create a version that now can be collaborative where other people can sell your product, you can sell theirs, and you can have a lot more fun.

And so the very first step is you have to import those products over here inside of Offer Lab.

All right, so I wrote a book.

Obviously, I already sell it on my own website.

I sell it through ClickFunnels.

I also have it on Amazon, but I want other people to be able to sell this as well.

So I'm gonna import this entire page that sells this book into Offer Lab.

Then anybody can add it as an upsell, a downsell, an or a form bump and start selling my book with me.

Okay, now the process is very simple.

Step one, click on new offer.

There's going to be a little wizard you go through.

It takes 30 seconds.

It's going to ask you a bunch of questions.

I'll skip to that because that's not important.

After I've gone through the wizard and put in the basic information, I'm going to click right here on sales page.

And this is where it gets really, really exciting.

It's going to ask you where are you currently selling this product?

What's the page URL?

So if you're on Shopify, you're going to grab that link and paste it here.

If you're on ClickFunnels, you can grab that link and paste it here.

Wherever you're selling it currently, you're going to grab that link and paste it right here.

Then you click next.

Now, it's going to give you two options.

One, you can have AI go and actually scan the entire page and build you a new page, sell inside Offer Lab, or my favorite one right here, it says use my existing page.

page.

So they've already spent tons of time and effort making this page convert, right?

So I'm going to click on that, click continue, and it gives me a little teeny tiny piece of code.

I'm not going to copy that into my ClickFones page, into my Shopify page, into my GHL page, wherever you're selling.

You just copy this code right here, and you're going to paste it on the page like this.

And as soon as that code's been copied, you sit back and wait for about 30 seconds.

Offer Lab will detect the code, and boom, there it is.

Now I can go here, I click on the editor.

And this is where the magic happens.

Instead of me having to redo the page or edit anything, Offer imports this entire page into the platform.

And right here, you say, I want to connect my own pricing options.

You click on the button here.

And then all I do, this takes 20 seconds.

I click on every single order button.

I tie a price to it.

I scroll down.

I click on this one.

I hook my price to it.

I do an every single button when it's done.

I click save.

It's finished.

Now my entire offer that is being sold on ClickFunnels is now also able to be sold inside of Offer Lab.

Now anybody can come and actually take this product and add it as an order form bump, as an upsell.

They can sell us to the front end and put their coaching program on the back end.

They can do anything that fast and that's how you import your product into Offer Lab.

Dodd, where are you going?

Hey, let's just say you're in the pickleball industry or the pickle industry.

Kind of like Sarah who sells custom pickleball paddles or Mark who's got an online pickleball course.

Let's say they wanted to do a collab.

How would they even do it?

One, they could create their own custom affiliate program, which has high startup fees and is a technical nightmare, and both offers are still sold separately.

Option number two, they could try a JV launch, which may take months of planning, postpone launch dates, and honestly, most situations, one person quietly doing 95% of the actual work.

What are you doing, Dad?

Just give me two more minutes.

Who are you talking to?

Custom

mom, he's doing that thing again.

Just ignore it, honey.

Number three, they could try a co-branded offer, which then kicks off a three-day debate about whose site is to go on, whose stripe accounts they're going to use, and who's technically in charge or number four a simple handshake deal but let's not even go there i got it

or number five they can both upload their offers into offer lab sarah uploads her custom pickleball paddles mark uploads his online pickleball course they pick a revenue split and just like that they can create a funnel collab a simple sequence of pages going from one offer to the other and all i have to do now is explain why they recommend this other person's offer so when someone clicks an ad and then buys sarah's paddle immediately they'll see mark's course as an an upsell, backed by her personal endorsement.

And guess what?

It doesn't have to stop there.

They can bundle and upsell as many different products as they like.

Adding one of their friends' pickleball retreat or their pickle merch or pickles.

Why are you talking about pickles?

I'm not.

The actual sales flow is endlessly customizable and best of all, it has automatic payouts for everyone involved.

This is an entirely new type of funnel.

But if you don't have a product to sell, that's why we created the marketplace.

All right, I'm back in, guys.

Imagine really quick for a second.

We're here inside of the marketplace, right?

This is a visual representation.

These are all different products that I could actually sell.

I just got to grab them and then build out a funnel with the people who own these offers.

It's pretty cool.

Let me show you how it actually works here inside of Offer Lab.

As you scroll down, you can see all the different offers that are currently inside of the marketplace.

And I can go through here and I can see all the different sellers.

And inside that, I can see the stats.

I can see their star ratings.

I can see if they're actually fulfilling on their promises.

Is this offer actually actually converting is it not converting that way you know exactly what the funnel is building what you can expect when you start driving traffic to it let's say for example I want to promote Spartan B-bread one of my favorite products of all time right so I'm gonna go in the marketplace and I'm actually going to send them a quick message as soon as I do that then they get a notification on their side that I want to collab with them and they say yes I want to collab they click a button to approve it and all of a sudden this product jumps into my vault when it's in my vault now I can add this to anywhere inside my funnel.

This could be the front end.

This could be an upsell, it could be a downsell, right?

And so what I want want to do is I want to go and find all the offers I want to promote, contact those people, and as soon as they approve me, then they're inside the vault.

Okay, that's how this works.

Okay, so let me show you how simple it is to build an entire funnel inside Offer Lab in less than 30 seconds.

First step, I can click here on new funnel, and then you'll see on the right-hand side are all of my own offers I put in here and all the offers that are inside of my vault, other people's products that I've decided to partner with.

So when I create the funnel, I say, okay, what's the first product I want to sell?

Let's say first product I want to sell is Steve Larson's Capitalist Pick t-shirt.

So I click a button and that fast page number one the funnel is finished

Steve already created the sales page I don't create anything just click on a button and it's done

and then if I want to add an order form bump I click right here and it shows me which ones are eligible for an order form bump so I'm gonna add his MLM hacks and boom that fast I got the sales page and the order form bump done

Now I'm gonna move on to offer number two.

What's the first upsell?

Let's say, okay, I'm gonna add in Pedro Deo's challenge secrets.

Okay, someone who buys a capitalist pick t-shirt may want to join challenge secrets, which is an amazing course.

So I click a button and that fast, Pedro's entire challenge is now upsell number one.

And again, because here I wrote the copy, I don't have to do anything unless I want to.

I can if I want to.

I can explain to my visitors and people who go through my funnel why they should buy this.

So I click this button here.

And now if I want to add a video explaining why my audience should buy this offer, I'll do is I grab my phone, click record.

Hey, what's up?

This is Russell.

Thank you so much for buying the Capitalist Pig t-shirt.

I think you are going to love it.

I cannot wait to ship it out to you.

But I do know that if you just bought the Capitalist Pig t-shirt, you're looking for more ways to make money.

Am I right?

If so, i've got a really special offer for you down below is pedro odeo's challenge secrets it's one of my favorite offers of all time i got a special discount for you all you do is click link down below and we'll add this to your order right now pedro someone you can trust he's a great guy and this course is amazing click link down below and i'll see you inside the members area thanks so much boom in about 15 seconds my video is done i can copy and paste that in there and now that video is me pitching why they should buy pedro's upsell and i do that for every single step inside of the funnel which is pretty cool

after that i say okay what's upsell number two gonna be well for this one maybe i want to add my selling online event for upsell number two.

So I can go and I can add my own offer or someone else's if I want.

I click on that button, and literally that fast, my funnel is done.

I see there's offer number one, order form bump, upsell one, upsell two, and then the order summary page.

I come back here, I click on published, and just like that, my funnel is live.

In less than 30 seconds, the entire thing is done.

I can go take this, I can post on social media, I can go put it in the link in my bio, whatever I want.

That fast the funnel is live.

And the coolest thing about this is when somebody sees my link, they click on it, they're going through my own custom funnel.

They're gonna see my upsells, my downsells.

And when somebody buys Steve Larson's t-shirt, the money is instantly split.

He'll get his half, I'll get my half.

When they buy Pedro Dale's horse, he'll get his half, I get my half.

Everyone gets paid in real time.

There's no one trying to fight over payments.

There's no links breaking.

There's no, my cookie got deleted because this is my own custom funnel.

Okay, that's how powerful this is inside of Offer Lab.

It gives you the ability to create funnels very, very quickly that are yours, and you get paid instantly.

All right, hopefully now you understand why Offer Lab matters, the problem we're trying to solve and why it's so important today.

And you're probably also wondering, how could I use this for my business to make more money?

Am I right?

If so, you are in the right spot.
