Tom Hua
Tom is one of the real visionaries of internet marketing – a real pioneer.
He can legitimately claim to be the father of Viral Marketing, and was using the processes now labelled as viral long before they attracted that name. – and some of the products marketed that way STILL produce him revenue a decade on.
He was also one of the earliest of the information product affiliate marketers – and he runs an enormously successful business, spanning information marketing, hosting, seo, shopping cart software as a service, and almost the spectrum of internet marketing types – inlcluding an interest in a successful search engines for the chinese speakers.
But If ever anyone started with disadvantages in marketing it was Tom Hua.
He was a refugee from China – who at that time did not speak english well – who started by sleeping rough, and with so few opportunities open to him he had to make internet marketing work and he did.
Aside from his other business empire – Tom is also a founder of World Internet Summit.
If you meet him you are in for a surprise. You would have thought that success breeds at some level arrogance. But it really is not so of Tom Hua - he is a charming and unassuming man, easily lost in a crowd – who is happy to chat to everyone, time permitting of course.
