Welcome to my review of Russell Brunson’s free DotCom Secrets (2nd edition) book!
If you’re looking for the ins and outs of the book…
Wanting to know if it’s worth reading and exactly HOW it can help you to create a super-profitable Biz using the web, then you’re at the RIGHT place!
So without dragging out the intro, let’s dive straight into this review…
Quick Overview
Book Name: DotCom Secrets (DCS).
Cost: Free + $9.95 shipping (or $19.95 internationally).
Author: Russell Brunson.
My Verdict: Legit.
Summary:
In all honesty, I first thought DotCom Secrets was gonna be just another hyped-up Guru-style book.
But to my amazement, it was actually far from it.
Because (in my opinion) Russell Brunson has absolutely nailed it with his book, which is now one of my top reads in the internet marketing education world.
Not only is it written in an easy-to-read format, which will be beneficial to newbies in the online space…
But the book really is an eye opener – it’s jam packed with essential, evergreen and actionable info for starting and growing a super lucrative sales funnel from scratch for your business.
Russell genuinely leaves no stone left unturned – making DotCom Secrets an absolute must read and a half. Period.

What is DotCom Secrets All About?
Russell Brunson (Expert Secrets and Funnel Hacker’s Cookbook autor, and ClickFunnels co-founder)…
Has published DotCom Secrets – The Underground Playbook For Growing Your Company Online…
DCS is basically designed as a digital marketing blueprint to reveal the processes, sales funnels, and also the scripts…
That Russell has perfected (after thousands of tests) for building a successful web-based business that revolves around sales funnels.
It’s the kinda “golden nugget” info that Russell would charge big companies $25K consultancy fees for!
But you’re getting his secrets for free!
Tony Robbins (one of my biggest inspirations) considers DCS as:
“A simple process that any company can use for improving their traffic, conversions, and sales online”.
Russell has packed 10 years worth of his digital market knowledge and experience into his book.
That takes you from getting started to effective email marketing campaigns to building high converting funnels to closing your sales for a big income.
Mr. Brunson’s freebie book has already helped many marketers to become massively successful webpreneurs.
And also change their lives around from implementing his special strategies that work like clock-work.
But obviously, the info will only work for “action takers” – it’s not something to read and leave lying around the house collecting dust for months.
Which brings me to the next part…
Who is DotCom Secrets For, You Ask?
DCS is intended for anyone wanting to start a web-based business from scratch.
Or anyone who’s struggling like hell to generate online Biz leads, sales, and an income.
In fact, even traditional offline Biz owners (in all industries) can apply the knowledge to grow their businesses using the power of the internet.
So whether you want to build a highly profitable affiliate marketing Biz or MLM, for example – or in fact, any type of Biz…
There’s definitely a TON of value inside the publication for creating a long term empire for yourself.
This book will benefit any newbie or expert in the field of internet marketing…
That’s IF you actually put the book’s contents into action.
However, if you’re hoping DCS will make all your dreams come true in a blink of an eye, then on ya bike LOL.
Because this is for serious business professionals, at the end of the day…
Are you one of them? π
GOOD!
I invite you to continue reading…
Some Amazing “Secrets” You’ll Discover In The Book
I won’t take a deep dive and ruin the surprise for you, so I’ll just keep things brief.
One of the things I love about DCS is that Russell also helps to explain things with fun diagrams, like the ones below:
Inside the updated book, which feels more like a How To/step-by-step guide…
Russell basically breaks everything down into 4 sections to help you generate more leads and boost your overall sales conversions.
The 4 sections:
- Sales Funnel Secrets
- Funnels in The Ladder
- Funnel Scripts
- Building Your Funnel
In the sections, you’ll learn all about something called the “Value Ladder” approach, the hook – story – offer, 7 funnel phases, creating follow up funnels, funnel stacking, funnel audibles, and MUCH more.
Realistically, it may take you more than 1 read for everything to click into place because there’s a lot to absorb.
But as you learn and apply each topical puzzle piece, you’ll eventually have a super successful sales funnel on your hands.
What’s The Cost Of The Book (Is There a Catch?)
The awesome news in that DotCom Secrets won’t cost you a single penny.
But you will be required to invest $9.95 for shipping (or $19.95 internationally), which is the only catch.
(BTW, the shipping fee also comes with a 30-day money-back-guarantee in case you’re wondering).
So considering the book’s worth its weight in gold (in my book – pun intended), the shipping’s such a small price (or should I say investment?) to pay.
But if you want to really take your game to the next level(s), there are the following optional upsells:
- Audio Book β $37
- 2 Day Event β $97
- Funnel U β $147
- Funnel Accelerator Action Pack β $297
- Ultimate Video Marketing Toolkit β $197
And since Russell’s the co-founder of ClickFunnels – this is the software (surprise surprise) he recommends you to use to build your funnel.
Where you can take ClickFunnels for a 14-day free spin, and then the basic plan is $97/month, which is more than enough to start seeing results.
Obviously, there are cheaper funnel builders out there – but it all depends on your budget and preferences.
Final Thoughts: Is DotCom Secrets Worth it?…
DotCom Secrets is the real deal and totally worth it because the info can definitely work when you apply it.
And in my opinion, Russell Brunson should be selling it for an insane amount of money, considering the unbelievable value he delivers.
DCS is the type of book that holds the power for turning both new or struggling online business owners into “.com Millionaires”.
But obviously, it won’t happen overnight – internet marketing takes time for BIG results.
Overall, Russell has certainly knocked the ball out of the park with his clear and thorough step-by-step roadmap.
DCS has gotta be the “holy grail” of internet marketing (namely sales funnels) because it can bring you HEAPS of success for many years.
Here’s to your success as a digital Entrepreneur…
Your Friend, Neil.
Do you have any questions or thoughts on ‘DCS’ that you’d love to share? Please feel free to post your comments below…
I read this book years ago before I started doing affiliate marketing. It was very informative and probably it has shaped how I approach affiliate marketing now.
After reading your review, I feel like rereading it again to gain some new insights from the book.
Lucky for me, back then I almost bought the book from Amazon but I am glad that I didnβt. I wonβt mind a free book of course!
Good on ya, Elegracia!
DotCom Secrets is certainly worth the read from an affiliate marketing standpoint.
Can’t beat a free book. π
Hey Neil, thanks for this splendid review of dotcom secrets. Didn’t have Russel Brunson’s work on my radar yet. The book sounds awesome and although I have become a little allergic to the word “secrets”, I’m sure I can take some valuable lessons out for me.
Even if it is just one action that can help me improve my business, the laughable $ 7.95 will be worth it.
Like many others, who are quite new to affiliate marketing, traffic and conversion is a hot topic. As I’m an achiever, I’ll order it right away and see what Russell’s secrets can do for me.
It’s a pleasure, Felix! π
After reading DCS myself, I can confirm it’s chock-a-block with invaluable info. The small shipping fee is totally worth the cost, in my book! *Pun intended*.
But I do know where you’re coming from with the whole “secret” thing because there are many scam artists online enticing you with get-rich-quick crap by using terms like “secret loophole”, “weird trick”, and “never been seen before”, etc.
But Russell’s book sure will teach you a bunch of stuff you didn’t know when it comes to building a successful online/offline Biz. Heck, even I discovered some strategies that hadn’t crossed my mind inside DCS.
Indeed, traffic and conversions are hot topics because they are the lifeblood of our affiliate marketing businesses. Without visitors (especially “targeted” ones) and ‘Call To Actions’, we have ZERO results.
Fantastic, you certainly won’t regret getting your hands on DCS!
Well, this sounds like a book that everyone should be getting their hands on. Traffic is my big hurdle. I get a little here and there but it seems it never really comes. I have no problem doing the work if I start seeing results. It also seems the price is right. Of all the courses through the years I have bought many books that ended up being duds. I think I will give this a chance and see what happens. Thank you.
It sure is 100%, Dale!
To be honest, I think generating visitors is every marketer’s obstacle, especially in the beginning when they’re new to online business.
The trick is to keep plugging away at building your Biz offering folks tremendous amounts of value, and your traffic will gradually build up.
I agree, the cost of DCS shipping is very reasonable, considering the amount of awesome info you can take away from Russell. Yes, there are some poor-quality books out there but there are also AMAZING ones too! I also highly recommend ‘Expert Secrets‘ and ‘The 4-Hour Work Week’ as fantastic books for the effective Biz-building info you need.
You’re welcome, man! π
Hi Neil!
DotCom Secrets has been on my mind to buy for the past week or so. Now it’s in my face again!
I will definitely buy it. I am currently reading the ASK method by Ryan Levesque. I seem to be reading and digesting a new book every fortnight. I speed read it first to get the gist then go over it more slowly. I also take notes and can definitely see myself implementing Russell’s ideas.
DotCom Secrets is definitely more affordable for me right now over Clickfunnels membership program…
Thanks for sharing!
Howdy, Stella!
LOL, someone’s sending you a message!
Terrific, you’ll LOVE DCS! I’ve heard of the ‘Ask Method’. Is it a great read? Cool, sounds you’ve got this book reading business nailed lol. Note-taking is an awesome practice because it’s a permanent reminder of the strategies you need to implement into your Biz. It’s just like writing down your goals, reviewing them, and taking action on them every day. Very powerful stuff!
Plus when you read so many books, you’ll know exactly what advice and methods are taken from which resources.
I wish you success with Russell’s book and let me know if you have any questions.
No problem! π
Great article and it seems that I have to buy this book.
It covers a lot of things where I’m still struggling with right now, and it seems this book will give me lots of answers, and advantages.
One question, they ship it to Belgium, or they stay only in the U.S?
Thanks for sharing it with us!
Cheers, and you definitely should, Emmanuel!
Yeah, wherever you’re at with your web-based business, DCS can help put you on the right path to profits. π
YUP, DCS is shipped internationally but the shipping fee will be $14.95, which I forgot to mention. Oops, my bad! Lol. Thanks for the reminder and I’ll be updating my review with this international cost info. But still, even if the fee is double outside of the US, it’s still a real bargain!
You’re very welcome!
Hey, Neil!
Well I think my struggles may well be over! (I like to think so anyway). This book sounds fab. I’ve written some top quality posts, got awesome products to promote, but I’m struggling to drive enough traffic to my sites.
This book sounds like just what I need. I need to learn much more, and it sounds like even a newbie like me can understand its message!
I’ve sent for it right away! Thanks for this info!
Hi, Marcie! π
Russell’s DCS book will definitely give you plenty of insights into promoting and building out your online biz.
Internet marketing is a consistent learning curve because strategies change, so it’s important to get all the current education you can. And yeah, this book is also suitable for beginners.
Awesome! You’ll enjoy Brunson’s book.
You’re welcome!
Neli, Thanks for a revealing story on Russell Brunson’s helpful book.
After reading through your post I understand that this Marketing Blueprint could be the way forward.
I am thinking, is this digital biz bulletproof so good to outsource Google, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube?
One of the good things about this book is that it is in hard copy. Will they ship this book to any part of the world?
I will want to get my copy of DotCom Secrets before the stock runs out.
Dorcas
Don’t mention it, Dorcas!
Yep, DCS can help any marketer who’s working towards earning an income on the net.
I’m not 100% sure what you’re asking me lol. But there are references to Google and the social media platforms for driving traffic to your blog/landing pages. However, I’m not gonna discuss the topics in depth and spoil the surprise, so it’s best to find out for yourself by reading the book. π
Indeed, it’s awesome that DCS is an actual physical book you can hold and read, and yeah, it’s shipped out worldwide.
Good for you! Do return and let us know how you’re getting on with Russell’s book.
Neil
Hi Neil,
That is a brilliant review of a book I have recently come across.
I have added DotCom Secrets to my short-list of books to read. I am new to Affiliate Marketing, and any quality help is of value to me. It’s a pity it’s not a free download as an ebook. Most of the books I read these days are the digital kind.
Still a great article and made me think!
Hey, Paul!
Thanks very much! π
Good for you, man! You’ve made a very wise decision along with the others who have also read ‘DotCom Secrets’. This book will most certainly help you to gain extra knowledge in the affiliate marketing field.
To be honest, I LOVE the fact that DCS is an actual printed book that we can pick up and read. Digital format is good, but it doesn’t quite provide you with the same experience as a good old fashioned book.
Cheers, and glad to hear it!
This book seems that it will give you a lot of information when bringing in revenue for your website or company. It’s good to have some sort of knowledge and tips on what secrets may a lie ahead in this given aspect. Good review and I can see many people purchasing this book to help them in the near future with their site.
Hey, Martin! π
Indeed, DCS is a book that will help you to turn your blog and landing page into a successful biz.
I sure don’t disagree with you because marketers need to get their hands on all the knowledge they can if they are to succeed on the web.
Thanks, much appreciated, man!
A LOT of DCS books have already been given away by Russell and also sold on Amazon, with plenty more freebies still to be ordered by online business owners.
Hey! Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction. I’m just starting out with my own website and I can see how valuable the information in this DotCom Secrets book will be. I am excited to learn more and try these in my own business.
It’s my pleasure, Jessica! π
That’s great! As a newbie to website building and blogging, you will certainly get a lot of benefits from reading DCS.
SWEET! You won’t regret reading Russell’s book!
Hi Neil, I am also waiting for Dotcom Secrets hardcopy that I placed an order for during the last two weeks. Can’t wait to read it and apply the strategies taught by Russell in his book.
I can see that a lot of pictograms are given inside the book, which is a great help for me, as a picture speaks a thousand words.
Thanks Neil for your review and I will share my opinion about it after read through it.
Hey, man!
SWEET! You certainly won’t be disappointed with Russell’s book. There are a number of ClickFunnels users who are implementing the knowledge inside DCS and building profitable landing pages/sales funnels. π
YUP, pictures definitely help to tell a story. Who likes reading books without pictograms anyway? lol.
You’re very welcome, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the book!
This book looks really interesting and is something I definitely want to find out more about.
Does the book come in digital format?
The quality sounds amazing for such a low price. Is there a catch? Do you have to make more purchases later on??
I will give DotCom Secrets a try and let you know what I think.
That’s great, Craig! π
Yep, Brunson’s book is also available in digital format.
I know, it’s crazy stuff, huh? DCS is 100% free. You just pay to have it shipped to your house. There are upsells within a sales funnel BUT you’re not required to spend more money.
AWESOME, man! Will be cool to hear your feedback on Russell’s publication.
Sounds like an interesting book that could help people who do marketing online. As an affiliate marketer, I try to do a lot of research online as well as get the occasional book.
It’s important to try and stay current on such matters if you derive any sort of income from online work.
Great review – I will certainly add this one to my list to buy.
Yeah, definitely! Even if you’re not building squeeze pages and sales funnels, DCS can help you to become successful using any internet marketing strategy. If you’re an affiliate, even better! π Good for you! You want to become as knowledgeable as possible when it comes to earning on the web.
I certainly agree that we should stay on top of things, especially when the internet’s evolving all the while.
Thanks very much!
Thanks Neil for your really engaging article. As an online business owner starting out, I can see how these tools would be useful to transform the small amount of traffic that visits my site to a hell of a lot more.
Would you mind sharing with me your personal story of how you have used this Dotcom Secrets book in order to improve your business?
It’s no problem, James! π
Yeah, DCS certainly offers you heaps of invaluable information for crushing it with your website/blog and also landing page.
Most of my online biz training has already come from Wealthy Affiliate before I even looked into DCS. Russell’s blueprint covers some stuff I already know, but I’ve found a lot of value in learning about creating sales funnels and scripts, and also brushing up on my social media marketing skills.
