Dean Hunt, Buzz Marketer
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 (!)
