Hormozi’s launch was big, but he’s no Henry Cavill
Everyone’s drooling over Alex Hormozi’s funnels, upsells, and processors from the GARGANTUAN launch last week that netted him over $150M from a single book launch…. (and get ready for the avalanche of bros trying to sell you those exact “tactics.”)
Here’s what they’re missing: The only reason it worked is because of his brand.
Alex has said it himself. His brand is the most valuable thing he owns. Years ago he reluctantly went public to build exactly what he just pulled off.
1. Trust compounds. Relationship Capital with Community.
People didn’t buy because of an offer ladder. They bought because Offers and Leads delivered. Years of trust cashed in overnight.
2. Brand equity makes you bulletproof
He could’ve botched the slides, lost power, had his fly open, or completely blanked on stage. None of it would have mattered. When the brand is strong enough, people already decided before you even opened your mouth.
3. Identity beats incentives
Thousands of affiliates weren’t there for a commission. They pushed hard because association with Hormozi raised their own status. That is brand gravity and he was a Red Giant.
4. Brand equals leverage
People didn’t buy a book. They bought the years of trust Hormozi stacked before it. That’s the multiplier only a brand can give you.
YouTube is still the best long-game platform for brand building. If you commit for an insanely long game, you could make Hormozi look like a drop in the ocean.
It’s what I teach everyone I work with and the ones that commit win. Simple.
Funnels expire, hacks fade and tricks get exposed, but if your brand is undeniable and real, you don’t just sell products, you shift culture and rewrite the rules of your industry.
And yes, in case you were wondering, building a brand is exactly like Henry Cavill. Consistency, charisma, and the ability to make grown men question their life choices every time he walks on screen.
Be undeniable. Be Cavill-level.
