Frank Kern New image...

I can do it. But, it would take some coding skills. So, it's not something that can be explained in a forum post easily.

I've just watched the new Kern video. It's really good, plus if you hang about at the end there's another video worth watching too.

Absolute positioning relative to cented wrapper with a negative margin

Nothing unusual about that.

However there's a huge trade off, since people with a slow internet connection would have to wait seconds for the images to load.

Thanks guys, saw it on my iphone as said, and am now on my mac with a bowl of weetbix and yoghurt...I have seen many sales pages with embeded images and have always considered doing something like that, but have not taken the plunge.
Would need to outsouce it as I know nought about coding or html...being a wordpress junkie...Ill look at his video now...

Where do you get on Frank Kern's mailing list?

that retirement lasted a long time...

video intro looked good but was ripped off from the ANON videos.

gotta give the guy credit... repackage other peoples work and sell it for bucks.

Yeah I have a mid dsl connection and with everything loaded on my computer I would of went off the page. I do like it and he can get away with it but I couldnt swing it. Too many wouldn't like the slowness.

@MaryKathan,

Reckon its as easy as going to his website FrankKern.com Hope this helps.

Just watched the video and registered for the webinar...I do get a wee buzz watching his videos, and as to him ripping off others, I know, I read of the trouble he had in the past. All of his making. and I know he wears it as a suit of armur sometimes... But the way he comes across, and frames his presentations, is quite (for me) inspirational. As a magician and busker, I use pack dynamics, and crowd pulling techniques in my work that I am moving forward to using online, and take inspiration from where I can find it. I found it with Franks. As with others...

Onward and upward, to infinity and beyond...

@MaryKathan,

Im not an affiliate or anything, but do find his videos and presentations very well done. Im sure he knows he gets talked about, which is all part and parcel of getting his stuff and message out there..

Regards

What you can't see is the coffee stain on the shirt..

His backgrounds are ok...

I wish it had bikini girls washing cars or something....that is more like the Frank Kern I know. LOL.

@Celente..I hear you. Great advice, have felt that fir some time, ( not doing any figures yet),but am redoing a wee campaign with more inspiration. Thanks for such a great bit of insight though. Kudos...

James

Yes Frank Kern makes alot of money and he has some good marketing skills...but has he added value to peoples lives? that is the major question.

So if you only want the technical answer ti what you saw I do not know, sorry but I had to at least say the above

He looks half asleep.

I also question that he has added that much "value" to people's lives like he claims. Now I know he has added value to other marketers for sure, but c'mon...he sells niche products. I'm sure he probably does massive CPA and PPV campaigns as well. Is there real value in that besides making a ton of money on quick offers?

But anyway he spins it, Frank is one of the very few guys I will listen to. I like the rough and rugged "surfer" Frank of the past more than this new slicked up, Mercedes driving guy. But hey, it's still Frank.

By the way, I haven't heard much from Trey lately. I wonder what he is up to?

I prefer the surfer dude image, but his content is always superb.

Hahah, that's funny. Frank Kern like a President of the US :-) This is green screen with some Flash Intros in Adobe After Effects. The background smells like a Photoshop.

This guy is doing well and he has a great team :-)
Cheers to Frank!

Frank got married (again) on the 1st. Probably why he's had a haircut.

The one picture in the background of the video kinda looks like Heidi Fleiss

Good old Irwin must be laughing his ass off. I've lost count of how many times he's gone over how he failed at every legit business venture until he got into GROTI (get rich on the internet schemes) and then how he's now saying things like JV deals etc are a waste of time LOL (the very things that have made him rich). Sucking money out of the world's most gullible people (biz opp, make money online etc) is nothing to be that proud of.

And that address crap is just part of a sales funnel that he openly advocates using to suck out as much cash from people as possible.

1 - Pre framing (pretending to be more important than you are)

2 - Indoctrination (get as many gullible fools to believe what you say)

3 - Conversion (hit them on the back end - in the case of his latest address he then offered a cut price version of video black box)

It happens right in front of people's eyes.

For my .02 cents I have benefited greatly from Frank Kern. I have only purchased his $6 book he had some time ago. As mentioned by Celente above, watch how he ( as with others at the top of their game) do what they do, instead of blindly purchasing.

There are lessons to be learned just in that.

Am I gullible....have I spent $$ on wso's that I don't use, as well as a $$$ a training course. Yes yes and yes again. Is the majority of the information I have purchasedavailable for free elsewhere, no doubt. Does my learning curve get shortened by having purchased some of what I have. Have I been inspired, have I been entertained, have I found 'that lightbulb moment', have I got absolute faith in my path. All yes.

Others may be as gullible, but who am I to say they haven't derived any benefit from what they may have purchased...from any sales person. Not for me to say.

But anyway...re the configuration on the page, some helpful advice there Ebet, thanks.

Off now to look at my pages editor and such...

James

OP - if you actually listen to his message you'll quickly realize that worrying about how to do what he did (technology) is the least of your concerns!

Wow...Frank Kern with a Suit.

He looks Great..

I am a big frank kern fan...been on his list for
years and can't imagine opting out.

@Chris. Thanks. Just what I needed to hear. His message is timely, true, and well said.MHD is right in that we ( read I) do focus on the tech stuff more than the product.. Good call again Chris.

James

Ha ha ha ha. Who's the dude Kern hired to look like Kern? 'Cause that ain't the Kern we all grew to love.

You know.... the flip-flop wearing millionaire hippie..... I likely woulda looked right past that pic of him!

If you want that background image like that and also resize it, bit of photoshop then get your self the superized background jquery script. Just google that. It will re-size to the aspect ratio of the browser window.

Don't you think his new look makes him look like a sales rep?

Frank Kern's products aren't cheap but for the great value and information they offer - most people that actually apply it will benefit from it.

Like someone else said, whether he is sucking people up for money, that's up for debate. I know he's helped many who do make a good comfortable living.

I also prefer surfin' style Frank. When I saw that background pic of him, I couldn't help but to think of "Days of our lives" soap opera. I'm not knocking it though, I might style that look when I get older. =D

Liked it better when he was a stoned hippie.

Dear Frank, the video was stellar but in order to complete the effect you were looking for, the round logo should have been behind your head making you appear Godlike with a halo. Bringing a couple stone tablets down off that mountain in the second video would have been cool, but a little on the nose.

Frank has the status he has today in IM because of one simple skill: He knows the human mind. And he's very good at using it to his advantage.

It's amazing how much a change of clothes and hairstyle can change your appearance. I never noticed how blue Frank's eyes are.

The image of a scammer.

Wow, the real main push of my thread was to hopefully get advice on how to embed an image. It was answered helpfully by some, some extraneous advice by others( very helpful...thanks Chris...again), but for some seems to turn into a slag fest...

I could understand the comments if some here had been 'scammed', taken advantage of, or been done bad by FK, but apart from this not being the place, I reckon its egregious to do so.

To my thinking (2 year newbie...with no $$ results as yet) Frank is a salesperson. He sells products. You either buy or don't buy. If you buy and it's a pig in a poke...get a refund. If on the other hand it's not, and it's all down to inaction, then we build our own wee hole. Not Franks fault, or any other well known marketeer fault.

I know from reading some of the posts above that BIG lessons can be learned, just from how 'he' does what he does. And for that I am grateful.

Anyway, thanks to all who have replied, I'm sure all the comments have helped someone along the way.

James

Whom are you talking about??)))))))):p

My raison d'terre for initiating the thread was to hopefully get some helpful advice on how to embed an image (not flash) on the page as Frank has. I have had the pleasure of some helpful advice and have thanked those accordingly.

Nice to see that it gets hijacked though by those wishing to defame and 'blast' what FK does, and allude to what other 'gurus' do.

And yes I 'get it'...selling information, however its packaged, whilst using the information therin to teach how its done is a business model in of itself.

FK is at the top of his game I assume...and the fact that I feel his presentations 'speak to me', makes me feel that I can attain a modicum of success in my area/niche, by using the same psychology.

As said, Im a busker and do know how to generate a large crowd during my show. Using what I have gratefully learned here, and my online education elsewhere, will hlep me seque, an offline crowd to an online audience

But I digress...

I just like the look of an embeded jpeg or png on page, rather than just a pucture, and wanted to ask how to acomlish it. Im busy foloowing up on some info given here, but if anyone else can help please do.

James

The right message, to the right market, at the right time? Frank has definitely been hanging with Dan Kennedy.

Frank's stuff is always cool though, and he helped me alot many years ago after getting on his list. Back then he was putting aweber opt in forms on Directory Generator (remember that one?) pages and then selling niche affiliate products via screen capture videos. Sounds like no big deal now, but this was before the domain YouTube.com was even registered and video was not being used at all in affiliate marketing. And his free videos do have alot of value in them too.

@Paul. Thanks for that. I'm building a page using Headways grid system which I've had before they upgraded and that's got some extra functionality to it. But after having said that, I'll look at the CSS and the coding you mentioned.

I've got a long term project I'm on and this campaign, although is a bit of a sidetrack, will hopefully generate some $$ to invest. Trying to grow from profit as they say.

Thanks again to those who have given freely of their time and advice

JJ

Still can't figure out how to get on his list... going to frankkern.com doesn't work.

I like the surfer dude looking Kern

Should be renamed "Selling Stuff Online for Noobs"

His new wife Natalia Muntean looks good, a fitness model

You've got to love a Frank Kern video!

I think that's perfectly reasonable. Why wouldn't you want to pay $2k to find out how someone just got you to pay $2k? I have bought two $2k products in the past, and am making six figures because of what I've learned from them. One of them was Frank's. I'd call that a pretty damn good ROI.

I don't understand why everyone wants to bash him for succeeded more at the exact same thing we're all doing. It's like if someone makes over a million a year, they MUST be a scam artist. There is no deceit in Frank's videos. He shows you exactly what he does for a living. People keep saying things like, "Don't do what he tells you, do what he does." But, he DOES do what he tells you, they are the same thing! The difference is that his market is MMO and your's might be something else. That's it.

Out of all the people who bash big shots like Frank Kern, I wonder how many have actually invested in a $2000 product? Probably not very many. It's just easier to be so skeptical. It takes courage to try out an expensive course and follow through and take action on what you've learned.

Also, for the people who are saying that he is ripping off or rehashing other's work, you should make note of the fact that Frank Kern is in a mastermind group with all the big name guys. They meet and teach each other new techniques to share with their customers. There is bound to be some overlap between the good ideas you hear from two big name marketers. There is a reason for that overlap, the ideas work!

Frank kern now is making bank off of his brand he built: Frank kern.

Can really recommend the launcheffectapp.com theme if you would like to setup something similar. Or at least learn from their CSS...

Are you aware of Firebug? Plugin for Firefox that lets you dip into a websites CSS. Perfect for learning a few little tricks here and there.

PS: Nice logo design work Daniel! Checked it out from your sig. As an artist/designer myself, I love to see when others really know what they're doing.
