Damon Burton’s 3-Part SEO Strategy Funnel Builders Are Missing | #Marketing - Ep. 32
What happens when you combine the speed of funnels with the long-term power of SEO? That’s what I wanted to explore with my guest, Damon Burton… The founder of SEO National and the guy who’s been running SEO for me, Tony Robbins, the Utah Jazz, and dozens of others. He’s also been in my Inner Circle for over 4 years, and when it comes to search traffic, nobody breaks it down more clearly.
Most people in the funnel world have written off SEO as “dead”… but Damon showed me how it’s not only alive, it’s evolving in some insanely profitable ways! Especially if you're using ClickFunnels 2.0!!
We covered:
Why SEO is still growing (even in the age of AI and ChatGPT)
The 3 pillars of modern SEO that never go out of style
What schema is… And how it gives you an edge in Google rankings
How to structure your site (and your content) for compounding traffic
The one SEO tool Damon uses that every funnel builder should know
Why backlinks aren’t as important as you’ve been told
How Damon turned his SEO agency into a 6-figure course business using Inner Circle strategies
We even geeked out on some of my own funnels… Including SecretsOfSuccess.com, and what his team is doing behind the scenes to drive more evergreen traffic every month.
If you’ve been relying on ads alone to fuel your business, this episode is a must-listen. SEO isn’t a replacement for funnels… It’s the multiplier most people are missing.

Subconscious Resistance: Inside the Belief Coding Process with Jessica Cunningham | #Success - Ep. 31
This episode of The Russell Brunson Show might change the way you think about what’s really holding you back.
I sat down with Jessica Cunningham, founder of Belief Coding®, to talk about the invisible patterns that run our lives, our businesses, and even our health. I first met Jessica in London, and the more I heard her talk about subconscious beliefs and identity shifts, the more I knew I needed to get her on the show.
This isn’t about mindset fluff. It’s about the deep, often hidden programming that can keep you stuck no matter how good your funnel is.
We talked about:
The link between trauma, identity, and success
Why high-achievers often sabotage themselves right before they hit their goals
How unresolved beliefs can show up as physical pain, anxiety, or even back problems
What “belief coding” actually looks like in practice
Why your brain might be trying to protect you from getting what you say you want
How to spot the subconscious resistance patterns in your own life
She even challenged me to look at what my torn biceps might be telling me… and I’m not gonna lie, I think she’s onto something.
Whether you're scaling your business or just trying to get unstuck, this episode will make you look at your internal game in a whole new way.

The Silent Funnel Killer That Nobody Warned You About | #Sales - Ep. 30
In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, I’m bringing you inside one of our weekly VIP Q&A calls from the One Funnel Away Challenge… and I got on my soapbox for this Q&A for sure! I definitely had some thoughts to share! Haha!
I don’t do a lot of these Q&As on the main podcast anymore, but this one was too good not to share. We talked about offer sequencing, webinar funnels, why most people are overwhelmed, and how to actually build momentum without building 47 funnels at once.
Someone asked, “Should I build the course first, or sell it first?”
Another asked, “Should I share my price on a $2,000 offer or send people to a call?”
And a few just said, “I’m stuck and don’t know what to focus on next.”
That’s when I started going off… because these are the exact mistakes that keep people broke.
So this episode is for the overwhelmed entrepreneur who’s doing everything… Or building the wrong thing… And wondering why the money isn’t coming in yet.
If that’s you, this might be the reset you need.
Key Highlights:
Why I hate when people build the course before they sell it
How to build a webinar that closes - even if you’re not good at selling
The weekly rhythm that helped me go from idea to 2 Comma Club
What to do if you’re scared of selling (but still want to make money)
The easiest path to your first 2 or 3 high-ticket sales without a call center
And why the people who last 10+ years always have a killer front-end offer
Plus… If you haven’t joined the new version of OFA yet, go to OneFunnelAway.com. It’s completely free for ClickFunnels members, and I do calls like this almost every Friday.
Come hang out.

This Sales Funnel Gap is Killing Your Conversions (Here’s the Fix) | #Marketing - Ep. 29
In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, we’re going deep into the funnel foundations that actually build sustainable businesses… And dismantling the flawed logic that’s everywhere in online marketing right now.It all started with a question from my friend and longtime funnel architect Jake Leslie: Why are so many people skipping the core $97–$297 offer? Why do so many funnels go straight from free lead magnet to high-ticket sale, and then wonder why nothing converts?Jake’s rant sparked one of my longest solo riffs ever… And it turned into a full-on masterclass in value ladders, offer sequencing, business longevity, and the difference between strategy and tactics. If you’ve ever wondered why your funnel isn't converting the way you want it to… This episode might save your business.Key Highlights:
Why “free opt-in → high-ticket call” worked for a season (but won’t anymore)
The real reason 90% of online businesses flame out in 18 months or less
What Dan Kennedy taught me about the evolution of advertising costs - and why it changes everything
Why value ladders still matter more than ever (despite what modern marketers claim)
How to keep your audience buying from you week after week with strategic offers
What Napoleon Hill was teaching about customer acquisition back in 1917 (and why it still applies)
The metrics behind our $100 front-end offer and how it ascends 5.5% of buyers into high-ticket coaching
The actual difference between marketers who last 25 years… and those who peak for 25 months
This is the kind of episode you’ll want to re-listen to - especially if you’re in that weird zone where people are clicking, leads are coming in, but nothing is converting.The problem isn’t your funnel. The problem is your value ladder is broken… or missing entirely. Let’s fix that.https://sellingonline.com/podcasthttps://clickfunnels.com/podcasthttps://30days.comhttps://clickfunnelsdropshipping.comSpecial thanks to our sponsors:

Inside the Copywriting Brain That Powers My Funnels | #Marketing - Ep. 24
In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, I sit down with my head copywriter Heath… Who’s been quietly writing behind the curtain for the past five years. And let me tell you… it was a blast to talk copy, creativity, and what actually makes great marketing work with one of the most talented people on my team! We go deep on advertorials (what they are, why they work, and how they’re still crushing it today), plus Heath shares how improv, fiction writing, and a background in comedy helped him become one of the best direct response copywriters I’ve ever met.We also talk about nerding out on old ad copy, why I collect hundred-year-old Napoleon Hill manuscripts, and how lived experience always beats AI when it comes to great copy that connects. This one’s part masterclass, part origin story, and part love letter to the lost art of persuasion. And… 100% fun! Key Highlights:
The surprising way I accidentally hired Heath (and why his 40-minute “No thanks” video sealed the deal)
What an “advertorial” actually is - and why it works better than you think
Why copywriting is really just “copy collecting”
The lost power of voice, tone, and writing from lived experience

I break down 15 qualities Hill believed made someone unfireable, and they’re just as powerful today as they were 100 years ago.The good stuff never goes out of style or becomes irrelevant!We also talk about wrestling tournaments (You know… old dudes with replaced hips still chasing greatness), the true role of an advertiser, and why “a ship in a harbor is safe… but that’s not what ships are built for”!This one’s a personal one. It's part motivation, part business masterclass, and part time capsule from one of the greatest thinkers of all time.Key Highlights:

Two types of “What ifs”—and which one will change your life
The 15 qualities that made Napoleon Hill say: “I’ll hire you on the spot”
