Travis Miller is recognized as one of the nation’s leading experts on attracting customers and creating businesses that are ESP—Enjoyable, Simple & Prosperous. In addition to his book, Gravitational Marketing: The Science of Attracting Customers, he has co-authored dozens of published business and marketing related articles, white papers and special reports.

Miller is the co-creator of Gravitational Marketing—a powerful concept that shows business owners, entrepreneurs and sales professionals how to naturally attract a steady stream of qualified prospects who pay, stay and refer.

Called the “The Big Idea Guy” (partly due to the juxtaposition of contrasting size with his 5-foot high cohort, but primarily because of his rare strategic vision and critical development ability) Miller is a serial entrepreneur and has used his own strategies to build a multi-million dollar business from scratch in six months.

Although traditionally educated (B.A. in radio/television and M.A. in corporate communication and technology) Miller believes it’s his on-the-street experience as an advertising sales rep turned agency executive combined with his entrepreneurial spirit that gives him the ability to conjure ideas and solutions that turn failing businesses around and super-charge already successful endeavors.

Miller and his business partner (and former college roommate) Jimmy Vee have spent over 96 million dollars in marketing and have generated over 12 billion dollars in sales for their clients. Miller attributes the success of his campaigns to his ability to get inside the heads of the customers and speak to them in a language that resonates with their deepest desires. Some people think Travis is a funny guy, but he prefers to think of himself as a seasoned musician and self-taught chef.

Miller is best known for his uncanny ability to dissect complicated business and marketing challenges into easily workable solutions and to create long-range strategic plans that deliver immediate results and sustainable profit.

Travis Miller believes there is no problem in life or in business that can’t be overcome with the proper combination of creativity, flexibility and tenacity. Miller’s marketing campaigns have been seen and heard in almost every major market in the country and he has been behind some of the most recognizable local-market campaigns in the past decade.

Miller lives in Orlando, Florida with his wife Jennifer and baby girl named Ella. His favorite hobbies include cooking for friends and family, attempting to ski, strumming his guitar and traveling (for pleasure) as frequently as possible.

Like many internet marketers, Dean Hunt was on a totally different career path before destiny seized his unique offline social networking style, and steered him towards his present Buzz Marketing Expert status.

From a very young age Dean had his sights set on becoming a pro golfer. But in 2002, when he was just 20 years old and a semi-pro, an injury to his knee changed the universe as he knew it.

Dean has a wicked sense of humor, and stands out in a crowd, so when he began writing about the things that interested him, he found others enjoyed it as well. So he built on these relationships. He found that the more controversial or quirky the post, the more attention it received, and the more its link was shared.

By 2005, recognizing that creating such interest was a skill that could be leveraged by internet marketers, Dean had further explored the concept and used his inherent creativity to build upon it.

Working 12 hour days over many months, studying the nuances of internet marketing, the result was Dean’s creation of his highly acclaimed Buzz Profits membership site. Here he mentors a growing number of students on how, by thinking outside the norm, doing the opposite to what people expect, you can create a groundswell of traffic.

While recognizing the need to understand how to do things yourself, Dean believes in outsourcing wherever possible. Getting others to do the things that you are not good at, or which are time consuming, frees up your time to do the things that make you money. If you are creative, be creative; if you aren’t get others to be creative on your behalf. Putting a real value on your time is vital if others are to value it.

Despite being serious about his business, Dean Hunt takes an impossibly humorous approach to life, one that infects those around him (TWSS). He makes his readers laugh out loud and his onsite and onstage antics can be side splitting.

With over 31,000 followers on Twitter, and 1500 Facebook friends, and an active presence on other social networking sites, Dean practises his buzz marketing techniques as a way of life. Using such strategies he has conducted numerous viral marketing campaigns, one of which resulted in more than 240,000 unique visitors to his blog in 21 days.

Through his live presentations, he shares tips and techniques with both aspiring and experienced internet marketers. He works hard to maintain his position at the cutting edge of Buzzology (don’t bother searching, the name is taken!).

Dean Hunt’s free report “Web Traffic Orgasm” is arguably as good as its title suggests (!)

In addition to his book, Gravitational Marketing: The Science of Attracting Customers, he has co-authored dozens of published business and marketing related articles, white paper and special reports.

Vee is the co-creator of Gravitational Marketing—a powerful concept that shows business owners, entrepreneurs and sales professionals how to naturally attract a steady stream of qualified prospects who pay, stay and refer.

Dubbed the “Five Foot High Marketing Guy” because of his short stature and big results, Vee is a serial entrepreneur and has used his own strategies to build a multi-million dollar business from scratch in six months.

Although traditionally educated (B.A. in advertising and public relations and M.A. in organizational management) Jimmy Vee believes it’s his real world education that gives him the ability to re-invent people’s businesses through effective marketing and fresh, fun ideas.

Jimmy and his business partner (and former college roommate) Travis Miller have spent over 96 million dollars in marketing and have created over 10 billion dollars in sales for their clients. Vee says the secret to his success is the use of inspiring child-like curiosity through his marketing campaigns. Vee draws this creative energy from being an accomplished magician, ventriloquist and improv comedian.

Vee is well known for creative concepts and copywriting style that engage consumers and elicit rapid response. He believes that there is no creative challenge that cannot be solved in a fresh, entertaining and fun way. Vee’s marketing campaigns have been seen and heard in almost every major market in the country and he is one of the top direct response copywriters in the country.

Vee is married to Christy Sue and has a baby girl named Autumn. They live in Orlando, Florida with their two dogs Bella (Aussie) and Oedipus (Whippet). He enjoys hiking, snowboarding, playing jazz on his trumpet and listening to jazz music.

Numbers for Day 2 of UPO were noticeably less than yesterday’s, and began behind schedule.  It was suprising then that the organizers devoted almost an hour to non-speaker ‘infomercials’ – for Dubai itself and for some of the companies that contributed to the event.  Sadly this put the event behind time right from the get go, something that would unsettle less experienced speakers but which for this Day 2 group was just ‘detail’.

Internationally respected copywriter, Harlan Kilstein sauntered onto the stage and quickly established his credentials – no messing about. He is good at what he does, people pay him a lot of money for copywriting, and he can teach you how to be a successful copywriter too.  Do this and you can (a) work as a copywriter for others (b) writer your own internet marketing copy, or (c) do both.

Kilstein is a NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) specialist and is a master at incorporating ‘triggers’ into his copy that elicit the ‘buy’ response.  He shared some really impressive tips with the audience and showed just how gifted he is.

2009 is the second year the team at Right Selection has assembled some of the top internet marketing speakers in the world to share the opportunities for people to make money on the internet with the people of Dubai.

Perhaps one of the biggest hurdles that the population here has is a painfully slow internet connection – but at 5.30 am, when I am typing this – it’s great!

Day One began with a welcome by the team behind Unlimited Power Online, Gautaum and Ernesto – who explained to the audience the untapped potential for internet marketing.  It quickly became obvious that many of the audience were already studying with Ernesto Verdugo, which raised the question of how interested they would be in the programs offered by other speakers.

MC for the event is Dave Crane, a vibrant and engaging former-DJ who did a great job in setting the stage for an exciting weekend of learning to earn online.  A gifted Stage Hypnotist, Dave is one of the most recognized faces in the UAE.

Newcomer to the speaking scene was Ciaran Doyle, a young Irish entrepreneur who was generous in sharing his tips on generating massive traffic in short time.  Throughout his no-pitch session he bounced around the stage, spreading his enthusiasm, and getting the audience ‘in the zone’ for more quality learning from the various speakers.

Americans Jimmy Vee and Travis Miller are best-selling authors, entrepreneurs and marketing maniacs, and when they took the stage they commanded EVERYONE’S attention.  They were loud and engaging, and delivered a polished presentation on how to combine the power of social media and online video to attract customers, build relationships.  They say that social media is ideal for getting ahead in business and putting money in your pocket – FAST!.

Their presentation was entitled (a mouthful) – “Maximum Wake Zone: How To Make Waves, Get Noticed and Accelerate Your Success Using Online Video & Social Media” discussed how to leverage the power of social media (like Twitter and Facebook) to attract customers.

UKs Simon Coulson took to the stage in the afternoon and delivered a presentation that focussed largely on how to make money by publishing ebooks on topics that you don’t have to know anything about – e.g. buying real estate in a country that you’ve never visited (this is how he made his first internet marketing money).  While many wouldn’t consider this ‘ethical’, it worked for him and it was an easy way, at the time, for him to start out.

He offered a package to the audience that included video recordings of a 3 Day Workshop, ‘Unlimited’ Support Package – from his ‘Faculty’, i.e. not from Simon himself, but ‘experts’ on his team, Access to his ‘Library’; Monthly training updates; Custom Software tools, and hosting of 20 websites (which he valued at GBP1200, an interesting figure when a reseller account with Hostgator gets you unlimited domain hosting for USD25 per month!).

Simon’s package proved very popular with an audience hoping to find a push-button way to make money online.

His presentation itself was much like one I saw him deliver in the UK in September, but with new slides and features that were unquestionably similar to those of another presenters at the same event – such ‘modelling’ appears to becoming commonplace in the industry.
