Stumbled across the Marketing Secrets Podcast this morning (Originally called “Marketing in Your Car“) and totally judged Russel Brunson due to his open-collared baggy club shirt and consistent overuse of the term “Click Funnels”, but he referenced Gary Vee and we decided to give him a shot.
After the initial not-so-subtle sales pitch, he does highlight a valuable point: The need to understand the difference between controlled traffic, owned traffic, and uncontrolled traffic.
- Controlled Traffic: Zuck owns Facebook but you can buy an ad and control traffic coming from Facebook to your website.
- Owned Traffic: You drive people from a controlled traffic source to an email capture on a landing page. Now the traffic from your email list becomes owned traffic.
- Uncontrolled Traffic: SEO, PR, etc.
Key Takeaway: Brunson discusses how you can leverage your email list to organically promote and amplify content on platforms like Youtube where technically you don’t own the traffic.
