Neil Patel is one of the most famous people in the world of Internet marketing, although he would never admit it. He is a prime example of where all the buzz about young Internet millionaires comes from. Born in London, England in 1985 and raised in Orange County, California Neil watched as his mother and father used their strong work ethic to support he and his sister.

Being surrounded by many entrepreneurs in his extended family helped him to catch the bug and realize that he was born to be one. As he started many small businesses in high school, from selling bootleg movies to buying and selling discounted auto parts to his classmates, Neil eventually learned about online business and marketing through creating his first website, an online job board modeled after monster.com called Advice Monkey. After losing a lot of money to Internet marketing firms, he thought it might be profitable to get on their side instead. After starting his own Internet marketing company and investing in other companies, Neil made his first million and later invested most of his money into and Internet marketing company called Crazy Egg.

By the age of 21 Mr. Patel was named one of the most influential members of Digg by the Wall Street Journal. Mr. Patel has been named one of the top 100 bloggers by Technorati, has been interviewed in Entrepreneur Magazine, and has graced Samsung, HP, General Motors, Amazon, AOL, GM, and Viacom with his brilliant ideas.

He is also the co-founder of KISSmetrics and KISSinsights and is one of only a handful of people who have been asked to speak at Jeremy (Shoemoney) Schoemaker’s prestigious Elite Retreat.

Neil is a very good listener, and even though he is bringing in millions a year, there is nothing even the slightest bit pretentious about him, and he is always ready to help anyone who needs it.
