The “Irreverent” Marketing Genius
By Alex Mandossian on January 16, 2008
RECOMMENDED: I just watched a 20-minute video created by a friend of mine who has the initials: “F.K.”
If you′re reading this now, I want you to watch it and then come back to this post and tell me what you think.
Click here to watch my friend′s video now. It takes just 20 minutes out of your day, but the marketing secrets my friend reveals may accelerate your business growth, sales and profits for a lifetime.
I rarely make any recommendations on my blog, but F.K.′s system is unique and different because…his discover already has been proven four times in a row and has brought in $23.8 million dollars in just under 24 hours.
Click here to go deep inside the sometimes twisted world of the biggest launches in Internet Marketing history. This is the real story. The true story that only “F.K.” can tell you because he′s the guy that made it all happen.
WARNING: My friend′s story gets ugly. Things get hairy and people get weird when millions and million of dollars start flying in especially when it′s $23.8 million dollars in just under 24 hours.
If you decide you want more, my friend has also prepared a 33-page Special Report revealing the ugly truth behind the biggest launches in Internet history. He knows the truth because he was the “Master Mind” behind them all!
This course and its content sound fascinating. I know enough about marketing having been in the marketing and advertising business for 30 years, that I understand the power of implicit decision making and the psychology of giving away a thing of value to get someone to buy another thing of value.
But the cost for such an intangible as a marketing course like this is outrageous. It may do all the things that are promised. But it is a hell of chance to take for most people’s money. And from one person who, for all I know, might be quite magical in his abilities and that is not a duplicatable or transferable ability. One either has the talent for selling or one doesn’t. It can’t be learned any more than one can learn to sculpt marble like Michaelangelo, even if Michaelangelo would try to teach it.
If this were done in steps so it could be seen to evaluate the possibilities of one’s ability to learn and do this, then the price might be more palatable even if it cumulatively amounted to the same or more money.
Wow. I’m not ready for this.
Hi Alex!
As a “recovering marriage & family therapist/relationship coach” in my past life, I can tell ya that there is good sound human nature psychology behind everything he is saying in the video.
Thank you for passing it on…

This is an interesting video and I agree that there is human nature psychology behind it. However, I am not sure how I could utilize this type of information while I am still devouring your teleseminar course!
Alex,
Interesting stuff. I’ll at least check out the free gifts for more explanation and tips. Thanks for your earlier blog on Ready Fire Aim. Even as busy as I am with your material, I went ahead and bought it and am half way through it! Masterson is right on the mark! I expect his wisdom will serve me well as I build my own business through the stages.

Hmm. . . Douglas has some valid points in his comment above. Many of these ‘internet marketing secrets’ courses are at this multi $1000 price point. This is chump change to a small %age of people out there who will gladly pay it to get an upper hand and continue their education. Naturally, this allows the creator to make out quite well. But for many people out there, spending that kind of money is the equivalent to betting the farm, assuming one has a farm to bet in the first place.
Besides the cost of these materials/ instruction, one must ask themselves if this is what you want to do and truly have the skillset to accomplish or think they can develop the skill - and not just wanting to do it because the hours and pay are amazing.
Hey Alex!
Thanks for the recommendation. I’ve enjoyed Frank’s videos. He really does provide a lot of content to take note of, even just the free video teaches you a lot of the psychology of selling, and Frank does practice what he preaches, as you can see in the video.
In response to Douglas’ comment, Douglas, I have to respectfully disagree, selling is something that definitely can be learned and improved upon, there is a more natural skill that others have, but really anybody can learn these skills.
In the end, you’ll have to determine if the course is appropriate for you or not. It’s not for everyone, not everyone is at that point in their marketing yet where the best investment is this. But it’s all how you look at it and your personal style if this will make sense for you invest in right now. If Frank’s course is just like his free videos, I couldn’t really see how you could make a “bad” investment in this.
Thanks Alex!

I think this is genius and cant wait to use the materials.
Thanks for suggesting this. I like this guy, just from the sound of his voice.
I have lately been studying copywriting myself, as well as reading some of the classic works about that subject and advertising in general (Claude Hopkins, David Ogilvy, Joseph Sugarman, etc.).
FK’s thematic reflections on human nature and “owning” decisions, implicit vs. explicit triggers, etc., appear continually in these classic works, although of course they are worded differently. These are obviously solid, demonstrated principals which have stood the test of time.
I would respectfully disagree with the earlier post about innate sales ability. Quite apart from my own feelings about it, the acknowledged masters in this field deny this.
I look forward to reading FK’s free reports.
And thanks again, Alex.
Hi Alex!
I really enjoyed it and learned a lot from it. Please take a moment to look at my new “ask campaign.”

I took the original Mass Control course. I would say if you invest in one high end program this year, choose Franks.
If you think what he gives away is cool, you’ll be blown away by the content. It’s worth every penny and then some.
Frank may act like a dork, but he’s a freakin genius!

Hi Alex,
Thank you for creating this opportunity for us to comment.
Many of us know to sell well, or very well is a talent. It is a gift. The way we use our gifts in life is vast and varied.
Alex you are a great marketer,also a talented sales person. I was not so jazzed about what you were doing when you first got online. But you became my favorite internet marketer on the planet because you became Excellent. You found a very high standard of integrity and walk it in every single thing I see you do, without exception. You are clearly more interested in the value you are giving than anything else. Even if this is a way to ensure more success.
I am not sure the techniques presented in this material will bring that standard or awareness of giving with ingetrity or caring about the value of what we are doing outside of mongo sales, to anyone.
