Watch this if you want to make money FAST.

If you’re new to my channel, my name is Frank Kern. I’ve been selling things online since 1999.

My first 7-figure business sold downloadable audio-books about dog training. I sold that business in 2007.

Over the past 25 years, I’ve had over 80,000 (and counting) business owners pay me for marketing advice.

My sordid past: (OK fine it’s not particularly sordid but I wanted to make it sound interesting.)

I have zero credentials of any kind.

Dropped out of college to play music.

Tried that for four years and it didn’t work.

I’ve been a pizza delivery guy, a roofer, a ditch digger, a fry-cook, a car salesman, and even did door to door sales. I was bad at all of it.

Discovered online marketing in 1999 when I saw an ad for a course about online marketing.

1999-2001, bought the reprint rights to a bunch of direct mail seminars on cassette tapes. Tried using spam to sell them. It was roughly 10000X harder than actually doing things the right way.

2003: Got sued by the government for violating advertising regulations. (If that’s not bad enough, what’s really embarrassing is I didn’t even know that the advertising regulations existed. Turns out that ignorance is not bliss. It’s simply ignorance.)

2004: Start selling downloadable “how-to” products to dog owners.

2007: That business had grown to a 7-figure business, was producing really good semi-passive income with only one product, and had a database of over 300,000 pet owners who opted in (legitimately) to learn about dog training. …And I sold it. For a song. Which wasn’t smart of me.

2007 - 2010: Created (and co-created) some of the largest marketing campaigns in the history of the “Internet Marketing” industry. I then wrote several courses that taught people how I did it. During the process, I also got kind of “Internet Famous” even though I didn’t use Social Media. The “fame” stuff was sort of cool for a while but got old because I’m an introvert.

2011 - 2021: Focused mainly on consulting, offering marketing services to more established companies, and getting good at advertising. Deliberately tried to be more “behind the scenes” and tried to become less famous. Made significantly more profit and still ended up growing my personal brand despite being reclusive. (It was because of the ads.If your ads actually help people, it grows your brand as a byproduct.)

Today: I have one client (giant tech company) …and that’s plenty. In addition to helping them, I also do all the marketing for my family's software company, which helps businesses grow their revenues through AI and automation.

Biggest things I learned in past 25 years (and counting):

If you build a brand based on goodwill, the brand will stay strong even if you quit trying to build it.

The best way to grow a business, a brand, and create goodwill is by helping people.

The easiest way you can convince someone that you can help them is to simply demonstrate you can help them …by actually helping them.

The fortune really is in the follow up.

Also, all this stuff is harder than it looks.

But it’s not nearly as hard as being a roofer, a ditch digger, or a fry-cook.

I know because I’ve been all of them.

Keep your head up, use common sense, and do people right. You’ll get where you want to go much faster by doing that than by trying to take short cuts.

IN CASE IT ISN’T OBVIOUS:

I make content like this because I want to sell you something eventually. It’s fun to make and all …but at the end of the day, I want you to become a customer. Content like this is part of my “demonstrate you can help them by actually helping them” strategy. If it’s working, get my book. You’ll probably like it.

I have been following Frank for over 10 years. My company does digital marketing for the largest pharma companies, but whenever this tattooed guy opens his mouth, I listen, learn, and get motivated. I have not found anyone else like him. Thanks, Frank, and God bless you!

From $3K to $45K that's the minimum range of profit return every week I thinks it's not a bad one for me, now I have enough to pay bills and take care of my family.

I'm an introvert. My strategy has always been to promote my publishing company and not myself as an author. It just felt more comfortable that way. Then, I got your book. I finished reading it. I realized that my brand is ME and I've been hiding behind my publishing company. Now, I'm changing all my social sites to my own name, throwing out my current marketing strategy, and creating a new one this week. I will implement it on July 1st. Thank you for showing me the light! I'll be recommending your book to everyone I know:)

1. Do the thing that works last 12 months again
2. Automate sales process. Put the customer through thing that works best, then put them through second best thing.
3. Holiday sales. Every other day is a holiday. Use them as a reason to get people into the first 2 things.

So happy Frank Kern is still a thing. Something oddly comforting about seeing the Kernmeister pop up every few years

[jamesscott]

Simplicity is brilliance. Thanks Mr Kern.

Frank Kern is a living legend in digital marketing. I love his laid back style and sense of humor that go along with his enormous competence so well...

This video is absolutely incredible! -- "Every obstacle conquered brings you closer to success."

[ceacillea]

What a humble, gentile and fun video this is Frank. Love that you had 'three words'. I use a couple of 'three words' in my training and the students love them. I re-start after a three year isolated hermit period (passed husband) and this was a new warming up for me again. Thanks.

[the.incubator.mastermind]

Frank is telling an "ABSOLUTE" truth right now ... I was in one of the "ROOMS" and that is exactly what he said and did, no magic pill, no fancy funnel (yes he can do it all) ... SIMPLY do more of what is working, automate it ... polish it then do it faster... that is it! Peoples EYES popped out of their heads .... but it is really that simple... Love and Light Kern you are the man!

I'm captivated by your video! -- "Your determination is the key to your dreams."

[ThommyTy]

My goal is to get this answered for myself now & work with my "Best Day" "Best Moment" for me it always seems to be introductory conversation.

I've been following Frank for over 20 years and bought several courses from him, he is the 'Guru's' guru. I cant understand why he's taken until today to show up on my YouTube feed though!

Hi Frank, SOOOO glad to see you making videos again. Please keep em coming, greatly appreciate you! Patrick P.S. May just be a dream, but I'm working on the most epic traffic product imaginable (I know you can imagine a lot, and I think I got you covered), been my dream since John gave you that guitar that you'd mail for my product. But back then didn't have one, very close to having it now! Let me know. Thank you Sir, Patrick
