Podcast sponsored by: I have a tendency to go through spurts where it seems like I'm traveling a lot or attending a lot of events or I'm doing nothing. Maybe that's just me. :-) Lately it's the traveling a lot (which fortunately I love) and I'm excited to share my 'take aways' and event recap of the first annual Funnel Hacking Live event that I went to at the end of May in Las Vegas. Funnel Hacking Live Funnel Hacking Live was put on by Russell Brunson & his team at Click Funnels. If you're not familiar with Click Funnels, you will be. :-) I'll be doing some free 'funnel training' via hangouts with a private group (no idea what this looks like just yet but I'll keep yo uposted). I figure I may as well share what I'm doing while I do it, right? Click Funnels creates, surprise...funnels. Everything you need is built into Click Funnels. It truly has a drag & drop customizable interface where you can create any type of page you want (again, think marketing pages here - which are listed below). You're not limited to what you see on the template (which is one of the things  I've always disliked about LeadPages. You can change colors or hide elements but that's it). Here's a list of the type of funnels you can create within Click Funnels: O.k, let'e get back to the event. The event was 3 days and completely jam-packed. The first day didn't start until 1pm (which was kind of nice after travelling the day before) and went until about 6pm. They had some 'round tables' after the first day where you could talk to the 'Inner Circle' members (Russell's coaching program members). We hung around for a bit to go in then changed our minds (I love meeting new people and networking but I also appreciate the downtime in between sessions). Here are some of the topics that were covered by the speakers: Book launch Free plus shipping Webinars High tickets services Physical products All of the speakers had great content and great value. No one sold from the stage, which was refreshing and they all 'taught' something. Awesome. The two announcements Click Funnels made during the event were: 1) Affiliate program (where you can run your OWN affiliate program) called Basecamp 2) Email Marketing called Actionetics Both are launching soon (I think Basecamp will be available this month and Actionetics is coming in the next month or so). The topics covered by the speakers ranged from book launch funnels, to webinars, to affiliate programs to nutritional supplements. There was something for everyone - and even if your business wasn't covered there was pletny to take away from watching what other people were doing with their funnels and how they were making Click Funnels work in their business. Click Funnels Next Year Yep, I already bought my tickets for next year at this years event (which fortunately will be in San Diego next year as opposed to Las Vegas). I hope to see you there! :-) *disclaimer: I am an affiliate of Click Funnels*
