This is Russell Brunson. Welcome back to the Marketing Seekers podcast. Today, I'm excited. We actually asked you guys on Instagram what you wanted me to talk about on the podcast, and we got back 40 different responses that were actually really, really good. So, I've got the next 40 episodes lined out. No, just kidding, but I do have a bunch that I want to share, and so today's question I'm going to be answering is, how do you get your first client as a funnel builder? All right. As you guys know, I am a big fan of funnel building. I think that everybody should start in this industry building funnels for the people because that's a skillset everyone's got to learn, and the better you get at it, the more valuable your skillset becomes, right? By funnel building, I don't just mean just building a funnel. Here, you get all aspects of it. You got to get good at writing copy and doing the funnel and the headline and connecting things and the graphic design, and all the different pieces because you got to learn it initially, hopefully on somebody else's dime. That's what's nice about being a funnel builder. Someone hires you and you go and you build a funnel for them and they pay you, and you do that and you keep getting better and you get better, and you hone your skill and your craft. Your skillsets get better and better. Your copy gets better. Your funnels get better. Your designs get better. All the things get better and better and better, and during that process as you keep getting better, hopefully you have some idea for a product or a service you can sell, and now you got this funnel skillset that's already dialed-in and perfected. It's ready, and then you can plug in whatever products or service you have, and now you can quit being a funnel builder for other people and you now are a funnel builder for yourself. That's the path I would do if I was to start over again. And so, this question is really, really good, and the question once again was, how do you get your very first client as a funnel builder? What I would do, and I kind of did this when I decided I wanted to launch my Inner Circle coaching program. Some of you guys have heard me tell the story before. I didn't just go out there and launch the program. I thought, I got to go and prove that I'm actually awesome at this process that I'm teaching, that I want to teach people, that I'm doing. And so, the first thing for me is I figure out, well, who is my dream client? I was like, my dream client are successful entrepreneurs who need to grow their company with a sales funnel. I started looking. Well, who would be my dream person if I could go and pick a client? Like, that's my client, that's the person I want to work for. I was, at the time, really big into juicing, and Drew Canole was this guy who I had seen on Facebook a lot. He seemed really awesome. I saw his business and it was good and I was like, I think I can help. And so, I literally went to Drew and I volunteered to work for him for free, and then I helped him. I consulted him. We helped him build and launch their Organifi funnel. They launched it, and the rest is history. I was then able to deliver that story to go and get a whole bunch of people to join my Inner Circle. Now, if I was going to go and become a funnel builder, I would literally do the exact same thing. I would decide what type of business do I want to build a funnel for them. Now, if it was me, I'm passionate about authors and speakers and things like that, so I'd be like, I'm passionate about authors so I'm going to go find someone who's got a book. I'm going to build them a book funnel. Or, maybe you're passionate about something different. Maybe you're passionate about chiropractors or dentists or p
