The One Comma Club Challenge: The Real Starting Point for Making Money Online | #Marketing - Ep. 106
The Russell Brunson ShowShow Notes
In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, I wanted to give you a little behind-the-scenes context for what we’re about to do and why I’m so excited about the One Comma Club Challenge. Over the years, I’ve talked a lot about being “one funnel away,” and I’ve lived it myself — through the ups, the downs, the wins, and the moments where nothing seems to work. This episode is me pulling back the curtain on what I’ve been working on, why this challenge exists, and who it’s really for.
I’m not teaching the process yet — that’s coming over the next few episodes as I share recordings from the live challenge — but I am sharing the thinking behind it. Why making your first comma matters, why most people don’t need more tactics, more funnels, or more platforms, and why giving yourself proof that this works is often the thing that changes everything.
Key Highlights:
◼️Why I believe one funnel can still change the entire direction of your business
◼️What inspired me to create the One Comma Club Challenge
◼️How I rethought the structure of this challenge after studying what actually works
If you’re at the beginning of your journey, or you’ve been stuck trying to get something to work and wondering if you’re crazy, this is for you. I built the One Comma Club Challenge to help you get proof — real proof — that you can make money online.

Last week I told you the story of everything that led up to launching ClickFunnels — my original “One Funnel Away.” I ended it like the hero coming home victorious with the elixir. But here’s the thing about a hero’s journey: it always has a sequel. And the sequel is where it gets real.
When I was a kid, I mailed 38 hand-stapled sales letters to names I picked at random out of the phone book, absolutely certain I was about to get rich. Zero people responded. That was my very first funnel — and it flopped like almost every one that came after it. I’ve failed at more funnels than anyone I know. And that’s exactly why I eventually found the one that changed everything.
I have millions of followers across every platform… and when I go live, maybe 150 people actually see it. Back in the Periscope days, I’d hit “go live” and five or six thousand people would show up instantly, and we’d just hang out — that’s how I really built this community. Then the algorithms changed and quietly took that away. So I built my own way around it.
For years people have asked me the same question: Russell, if you could only build one funnel, what’s the best one? And my answer always frustrates them — it depends. But here’s what almost nobody realizes: inside every business, there’s only ONE funnel that actually matters. You might look at the two hundred funnels I’ve built and think it’s chaos… it’s not. All the rest are just appendages to the one funnel that rules them all.
A year and a half ago, I walked off the Funnel Hacking Live stage, took my shoes off, and left them there — the wrestler’s way of saying a career is over. FHL 10 was “The Last Dance,” and I meant it. We shut it down, and I honestly didn’t know if it’d be a year, five years, or forever before we ever did anything like it again. Well, I’ve got news: it’s coming back — once. This September we’re doing a one-time-only encore called Funnel Hacking Live AI!
