Neil Patel SuccessStory

Neil began his career life at the ‘John F. Kennedy High School’ during his initial year, where his older cousin used to sell burned CDs. Young Neil followed his cousin, but avoided selling pirated media to be on the safe side.

Observing the low return on investment, he shifted to a more lucrative venture of selling black boxes and capitalized on by buying cable black boxes from eBay, making more money. Due to legal concerns, he started reselling automotive parts, for which, he got a resellers permit from the State Board of Equalization.

Early career

Patel got his first real job at Knott’s Berry Farm at the age of 15, where he was involved in cleaning restrooms, emptying trash cans, sweeping up vomit and picking up trash. He loved this job because it paid him some extra cents per hour than other jobs at the same place. 3 months later, he shifted to a sales job at Quality Systems, where he used to sell Kirby Vacuums worth $1600.

When he realized that the job won’t help him get rich, he made up his mind to explore other opportunities, for which, his sister introduced him to his boss, an OracleConsultant. Turning to Monster.com, he studied its business model to launch Advice Monkey, his own job board, an unsuccessful attempt, but he got introduced to the potential of Internet Marketing.Thus, to avail the benefits of this field, he joined Cypress Community College to learn about Digital Marketing, where he got his first lead. Then, he initiated a business venture with her sister’s boyfriend, her present husband, and created the Crazy Egg that created a huge buzz.
