Part #1: Who Is Russell Brunson?
Russell Brunson is a digital marketing entrepreneur, author, coach, speaker, father and husband who has made a fortune from his various establishments in the online marketing space over the years and has impacted millions in the process.

Russell Brunson was born in 1980 in Provo, Utah, United States, where he grew up to develop an interest in business and other hobbies.
He long started developing his marketing skill when he was much younger as he would collect junk mails, used radio and television ads, seizing every business opportunity just to get as far as possible knowledge and understanding from the marketing world.
Outside marketing and business in general, Russell loved wrestling while growing up which soon turned a hobby for him.
In high school, for example, Russell was a state champion wrestler, becoming an all-American in his senior year, taking second place in the country at the high school nationals. This he continued into his college, learning valuable lessons about competition, hard work and the art of winning. He became one of the top ten wrestlers in the country at graduation.
Fast forward to this day, Russell Brunson has founded, and has also co-founded several successful companies, popularized some of the most effective sales techniques used in the world of marketing today, and had also published several successful books in the marketing category.
However, Brunson’s marketing adventure began while still in college. He developed a great interest in marketing while still in school, which saw him raked in his first million after graduation.
At the moment, Russell Brunson is known all over the world as a leading Internet marketing guru.
After a few years of marketing, sales, and devising new means of earning money online, Russell has had success in such areas as:
- Network Marketing
- Supplement business
- Information products
- Affiliate marketing
- Software development
- Book publishing
- Webinars
- High tickets
And as you already know – ClickFunnels which he Co-founded with Todd Dickerson, having close 100,000 as well as raking in hundreds of millions of dollars in sales. That’s how far Mr. Russell has gone through the years.
With ClickFunnels being the most successful business Russell Brunson has had to build, let’s quickly look at the story behind ClickFunnels.
How and Why…
Part #2: The ClickFunnels Story
With ClickFunnels being an all-in-one software, it’s easy to create a marketing and sales funnel from the ground up, because it incorporates all the essentials needed for a functional and efficient sales funnel.
Traditional online channelization means that you have to manage the hosting of websites, landing pages, Autoresponders, SMTPs, Webinars, Affiliate platforms, Memberships, Shopping carts, etc., and make them work in unison…
IT’S HARD WORK!
Because traditional sales funnels take a lot of time and money, according to multiple sales funnel stats.
That is where the ClickFunnels software comes in handy. ClickFunnels incorporates all of these, and more, into a complete, unified package, so that you do not have to deal with them one by one.
As long as you have a business, ClickFunnels has this special funnel that suits you perfectly. But how was it started anyways?
The ClickFunnels Buildup
Back then in 2014 with Russell Brunson becoming a name in the marketing sphere, he soon found himself facing technical challenges in configuring its sales funnels and marketing campaigns to acquiring new customers, as the price he would spend to get a trail customer wasn’t justifiable in returns.
This led him to engage the likes of developers at the time to find a solution to this seeming problem.
After battling with this seeming unending hurdle, Russell Brunson met Todd Dickerson whom he later partnered with to establish ClickFunnels software founded under Etison LLC to tackle these challenges for marketers.
At first, everything went well as Russell utilized his current followers and lists which he had been building all his time as a marketer to push the software to the awareness of like-minded folks…
However, he still had a problem trying to reach a new audience and prospect. Hence, he started spending about $120 on Facebook ads to acquire a free trial customer of ClickFunnels that isn’t guaranteed to convert into paid.
This proven to be a non-profitable and risky investment, Russell resorted to using the break-even method to acquire new prospect; rather than spending money on free trial customers, he would go on to make even profit upon capturing his lead.
Owing to his versatility in marketing, Russell switched to running ads to have his book which cost roughly $12, be shown to a new prospect who upon purchasing the book would have ended up spending $32 on average after going through his sales funnels.
Rather than promoting ClickFunnels and ending on the losing end, Russell together with his co-founder soon found another way of promoting the software which in turn yielded profits.
This made ClickFunnels to be quickly accepted amongst marketers.
Meaning anyone who needs to implement everything taught inside his free plus shipping Dotcom Secrets book, would need a sales funnel building software like ClickFunnels.

Fast forward to this day, with ClickFunnels utilizing its huge follower base as well as being the first software tool to have launched an affiliate program that rewards its top affiliate with cars, masterminds, and cash.
It has since grown to become the fastest-growing venture-free software company in the world to date.
Some ClickFunnels Stats & Updates
The first year of launching the software, it pulled in around 10,000 paying customers that’s to be doubled in the following year.
Three years later, in 2018 precisely, ClickFunnels pulled in over 50,000 paying customers that in turn brought the company $100 million in revenue earnings.
At the time of writing this (last quarter 2019), which happens to be ClickFunnels’ 5th birthday – Russell made a huge announcement on changes happening with the ClickFunnels platform where he shared the current customer base of ClickFunnels.
Over 95,000 active users!
Click Funnels has also gone to award numerous cars to its affiliates marketers who have successfully brought in over 100 ClickFunnels users. And even awarded multiple car awards and recognition to affiliates like Spencer Mecham and a few others.
Not forgetting the popular 2comma award to entrepreneurs who used ClickFunnels to generate over $1,000,000 in revenue.
