This episode of The Russell Brunson Show is for all the social media marketing folks out there. Or, pretty much anyone that wants to dial in their social media content and marketing with next level strategies that are working RIGHT NOW in today’s environment! There’s a good chance you’ve seen my guest on this episode, but I had the chance to sit down with Adley Kinsman… AKA the queen of viral content! Her videos rack up billions (yep, with a B) of views every single month. We talk about how she went from bankrupt musician to one of the most influential creators on the planet... and how she did it without spending a dime on ads. We dive deep into the exact storytelling framework Adley uses to hook viewers, keep them watching, and turn casual scrolls into serious attention. She also breaks down how businesses of all sizes (even trash can cleaners and real estate agents) can use her system to dominate organic social, attract followers, and drive real sales. This one is part content strategy, part creative masterclass, and part kick-in-the-pants for anyone who knows they need to show up more consistently online. Key Highlights: The chicken-in-a-bathtub video that changed everything… and what it taught her about attention How Adley reverse engineers videos using the “Missy Elliott Method” The biggest mistake most business owners make with social content Why “retention” is the only metric that matters… And how to improve it What Trial Reels are, and how they could change your entire content game The step-by-step process Adley uses to write, script, and film multiple viral videos a week How cultural relevance will beat contextual relevance every time (this is HUGE for your brand) If you’ve ever wanted to build a bigger audience, drive more organic traffic, or finally show up with confidence on camera, this episode is your roadmap. https://sellingonline.com/podcast https://clickfunnels.com/podcast https://30days.com https://www.instagram.com/adley Special thanks to our sponsors: NordVPN: EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal https://nordvpn.com/secrets Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee!

Welcome back to the show. Today, I'm with someone who I'm really pumped to hang out with for the first time, just meeting her a few minutes ago. But I've been watching her online probably since, I don't even know, probably four or five years. I started seeing her videos go viral, and they're insanely good. And I started watching video after video.
I started following her socially, and then started watching her from platform to platform. And I have a lot of friends who have videos that get like billions of views, and most of them don't ever like transition then into like let me show you what I'm doing.
And just over the last, I don't even know, we'll find out timelines from her here in a little bit, but in the last year or so that I've been aware of, she started like actually teaching her formula and what she's doing. So I bought the course, my team's been going through it and a whole bunch of other things.
And I just, it's, it's really fun to see someone who is executing at probably one of the highest levels. I don't know if there's a top 10 list of like, the influencers are getting the most views, but she'd probably be on it. If not, we should make that list. But then also someone who can teach it as well, which is the harder part. I think a lot of times is doing it, then also being able to teach.
Her name is Adley, and I'm super excited to be hanging out with her today. So Adley, how are you doing?
I'm so good. It's all better now. Honored to be here with your community. I've similarly been following you since I was a bankrupt musician. Oh, wow. So many, many years. Read the books and just followed your journey as well. You've inspired so many people, and it's an honor to be here.
Oh, thank you. Well, let's start there. Tell us about it. So you're a musician who was struggling. How long ago was that that that part of your journey began?
I feel like I have a similar story to most people who end up being marketers is it's you step into this from a necessity, from a need of knowing that for me, God has a bigger calling on my life. And I was stuck in musicianship waiting for a suit behind a desk to give me permission to entertain is what it was for me. Permission.
