As a child renowned for his poetry recitations, Alex Mandossian discovered how to connect with audiences. After a failed business in his early 20s, Alex rediscovered the power of an audience through online marketing and became one of the pioneers of the field. His 1995 website still prospers today.

Making It! explores the lives and stories of entrepreneurs as they share their unique perspectives on their success and the path to making it.

“Making it for me is like a rainbow. I can never touch it, but I know it’s there”

— Alex Mandossian

Since 1993, Alex Mandossian has generated nearly $417 million in sales and profits for his marketing students, clients, and joint venture partners on six continents. His marketing strategies helped convert his personal annual income in 2001 into a monthly income by 2003 and an hourly income by 2006 (16 times). Then in 2007, his proven virtual enrollment strategies helped him generate $1.2 million in less than 29 minutes.

Alex is acknowledged by his colleagues as “the Warren Buffet of the Internet” because of his unique ability to make money for his students and joint venture partners. He has shared the stage with diverse leaders such as Sir Richard Branson, Harvey Mackay, Donald Trump, Tony Robbins, Robert Kiyosaki, Suze Orman, Mikhail Gorbachev, the Dalai Lama, and two other U.S. Presidents. As a “virtual presenter” with more than 20,000 hours of training experience since 1992, Alex’s lifetime goal (with Jack Canfield) is to inspire and influence the training of at least one million other online trainers by his 77th birthday.
