What is Expert Secrets?
Expert Secrets is the second book of The Secrets Trilogy – the best selling book. (Dotcom Secrets, Expert Secrets, Traffic secrets and Unlock Secrets)
Read traffic secrets book & course review here.
The book has 359 pages long, more than 90,000 copies have been given away, and has been rated 4.7 / 5 on Amazon at this time.
Why is this book so successful?
When I was holding the book in his hand, I see the foreword written by Robert Kiyosaki, author of the best-selling book Rich Dad Poor Dad.
“Expert Secrets Is The Map That Will Allow You To Turn Your Specialized Knowledge, Talents, and Abilities Into A Business That Will Work For You! This Is One Of The Shortcuts of The New Rich.”
We often hear that “Money in the list.”, right? I do not refuse this. But the reality is still missing something.
I remember when I start building my business and make money online. I have tried to generate leads, collect emails, and create a list. I admit I didn’t do it in the right way.
As a beginner, I want to “get rich quick” I use the tool to collect email from Facebook and other websites. I generate 10k – 50k email contacts.
Then I start to email them and sell something. But guess what?
You’re right; I have no sales. Nobody care, I can’t sell anything. They’re don’t know who am I. They see me as a spammer.
Why? Because they’re not my audience. I should build a relationship before I sell anything.
After that, I try again. I give away free e-book to exchange email, I create a blog to provide valuable content. My email list increases day-by-day. However, I still have no sales (or very little from email marketing). Now, I realize “The Marketing Message” is matter.
If you want to make money online, you should have two things:
- Audience
- The Message
Would you like to have audiences, more followers on social media? It would help if you had to share your message in the right way.
You want more leads and sales online? Your message is matters.
That is the reason why Expert Secrets coming and help you
- Find your message
- Build a tribe
- And Change the world
The content inside this book is all about precisely what Clickfunnels does from ZERO to a hundred million dollars in sales in just three years.
Before going into the book’s content, we need to clarify what an expert is.
What is An Expert?
According to Expert Secrets, something special inside you. Something you know, you can teach. You already an expert.
Most people think they are don’t have any skill; they haven’t good enough. Well, it’s true!
We’re all starting from ZERO and don’t know anything. However, something you experienced in your life started you on this path, which causes you to want to be more.
You start to read books, study, and experiment with the things you learned, and by doing so, you have become an EXPERT.
Information is really powerful. You can use it to attract interest, increase desire, demand attention, and sell. However, it’s not enough; you should learn how to apply the right information at the right time to succeed.
Inside Expert Secrets, Russell will teach you step by-step to be becoming though leader and building a following people who will pay for your information.
The concepts, the scripts, the technology – everything you need is cover in the book. Now I am going to review Expert Secrets content.
Take A look inside expert secrets book
I have read Expert secrets, so I can show you. Expert Secrets has five section, each section has 1 – 5 secrets. These secrets are connected and interrelated. It was like a piece of a puzzle in a big picture. Therefore you cannot separate and cannot skip any detail.
4 section includes:
- Creating your mass movement.
- Creating belief

Section 1: Creating your mass movement
As I said before, there are so many expert on the world who have great advice and opinion but no one listening to them.
So, the first thing you need to start your business is to focus on building your audience. (It’s maybe offline, Facebook, blog, podcast, Youtube, Instagram…)
Russell found 3 things in common that helped people build a mass movement:
- They each had a charismatic leader or an attractive character.
- Each of them focused on a future-based cause that was bigger than themselves
- They each offered their audience a new opportunity
This section is all about HOW to create those “true fans”, how to target audience. A true fan is people who will purchase anything from you.
Whatever the field you might be in, health, real estate, etc., you need to be able to show your followers where they are headed and convince them it is a place worth going with you.

Pro & Cons of the expert secrets
Pros
Detailed. This is one of the top two books I’ve ever been through. It’s extremely thorough in that it gives you everything you need to build followers and make money from them.
Understand what building an expert business requires. Russell has left nothing out. He provides all the strategy, mindsets, scripts, and plan to crush it.
Low cost: The method he teaches is simply genius, and meager price (just only $7,95 for shipping in the US or 14.95 Int). Russell took 10 years to create and test it. However, you can learn it with a few dollars.
Quick to get results: Compare to another strategy on the internet, Expert Secrets is much faster in terms of seeing results. Because what you should do right now is answer the question in each secret, “fill the blank” and apply it to your business.
Cons
Take a long time to wait: To be clear, if you’re not in the US, you should wait at least 7 – 14 days or more than that depend on your country you live to receive the book.

The Expert Secrets Funnel (Upsell)
Does the book really free?
Yes and No.
In fact, They give it for free, and you only need to pay some money for shipping. Some people think $ 9.95 for shipping may be a bit high.
However, it would help if you thought about printing and advertising costs for the book to reach you.
Suppose we ignore printing costs. If they want to make a profit, then the cost of advertising must be less than $ 9.95 for a person in the US and $ 19.95 Int. It’s really hard.
You get the book for FREE.
The question is why they do that? They actually lose money.
If you have read the Dotcom Secrets book, you’ll know this is a FREE + shipping funnel. Profit does not come from the book he gives away; it’s come from up-sell.
To be clear, I will show you what happens after you get the book. Let’s see Expert Secrets book funnel below

13 thoughts on “Expert Secrets Review (2nd Edition) by Russell Brunson 2020”
So are there any actual cons about the book itself? You just listed the slow shipping time.
I have no ideas about Expert Secrets cons at this time except shipping time. Besides, $19,95 for shipping International may be quite costly for a few people.
I could probably build great funnels, but I don’t know how to get any traffic. Glad to see he covers it. It’s no surprise 90% of people fail since getting traffic isn’t easy. I’d be curious to know if he had any low budget options for traffic in the book too.
He also wrote another book that teaches how to increase traffic to your website and funnel. The book’s name is Traffic Secrets Book. I already write a review of this book, you can read it here https://www.funnelsecrets.us/traffic-secrets/
I think a niche site/blog/social media page is perfect for the “true fans”. This book seems relatively inexpensive but if you say it’s good, I will check it out. Not sure how I feel about the upsell of the funnel blackbox but seems legit if he’s offering a refund if you don’t like it. Surprised he offers a refund for the shipping of his book also, that’s pretty decent of him.
Whoa I didn’t even notive Robert Kiyosaki’s name at the top until I read it in your post. I still need to read his book Rich Dad Poor Dad!
Do you think Expert Secrets is more geared towards physical products or selling online courses, etc. ?
Also please do more book reviews… they are very thorough and it helps outline the key points which makes it easier for me to follow the book when I read it.
*Meant to say notice not notive, lol.
Printing a physical book to “give away for free” plus just pay shipping is a genius idea to launch quality upsells IMO!
Btw is ” Thank You Page Funnel Builder Secrets” really priced at $1,997 like he shows… the one in the right box… I see this all the time but wonder if they just makeup prices to get people to buy the bundle.
I liked your review. $7.95 is a decent price. Just one question though, is it filled with Upsell links in every chapter? I got a “free” ebook like this once and it was nothing but “make sure you go to this site..” on every other page. I felt like the book itself was one giant sales funnel and it could have been half the size and still relayed the same information.
Yes, he goes to sell something after you buy the book (You can read my review to see). However, the book has no links inside each chapter.
Excellent point about people needing to build their audience first so they get their trust before sending out emails. I somehow get on random email lists and get so annoyed by them. Such a turn off when people (especially strangers) add you to their list without asking!
Can’t believe I haven’t heard of Russell Brunson. And it’s awesome he helped Tony Robbins write his book! He must know his stuff.
Thanks for your review of the book Expert Secrets.
Nice article post thanks for sharing the great information ….!
