An Epic Tale of One Man’s Journey to Find Success by combining his two professional Loves: Internet Marketing and Show Business
Why Harris Fellman?
Simple…
Results.
“Harris Fellman is one of the brightest, most creative figures in online marketing today. He’s proven over and over that his methods deliver online buzz, and more importantly, bottom line results. My association with Harris has always been positive and profitable.” ~ Shawn Casey, CEO, Success Management Corporation
No ordinary marketer, Harris Fellman has experienced the expansion of the World Wide Web since the very beginning:
Starting with a metoric rise as Employee #7 in a little company called Galacticomm in which his efforts helped the company shoot from less than a million dollars a year to over a million a month in sales… in his next position as Employee #8 in what would become the company that pioneered online payment processing and online billing, iBill, Harris played a crucial role in creating and launching two of their most successful flagship services, Web900 and Online Credit Card Processing.
Harris has been at the heart of the internet even as it was growing by leaps and bounds into the form we now witness every day. During a stint at another little company called Microsoft he helped build the very earliest social network communities at MSN Classic, sites and even the first foray’s into what would become online entertainment in the form of an early online talk show, far before its time, called Nelson’s World.
Harris recognized very early on that the world of bricks and mortar would soon be ecllipsed by the digital skyscrapers that we now see. Even taking a turn in the sultry underworld of Adult Entertainment Harris continued to pave the way. When he joined Kwan Interactive in 1997as “Ambassador of Kwan”, Harris brought his keen insight to the Adult market and helped to create the very first *wired* house in the vein of many more mainstream copycats like *Big Brother* and other reality shows. Peepshack.com was the first of its kind with 3 women living in a house with 12 cameras all live…24/7. In the short span of just 3 months *Peepshack* had over 10,000 paying monthly members.
All this using the internet of the 90’s.
No small feat indeed. From that, er…*fertile* launching ground Harris finally decided to become Employee #1 and form his own company: Ion Entertaiment. Ion was formed when Harris and his then partner realized that the very same model that they used for the relatively narrow focus of *Peepshack* could be broadened and used to successfully market a vast array of other things. Ion Entertainment specialized in Email marketing and deployment.
And in just three years the company had annual revenues of over 4 million dollars.
It’s not always been just fun and games. Harris has faced his fair share of adversity and overcome each and every challenge he’s been dealt. With declining revenues in the face of new regulations and restrictions on email marketing Ion Entertainment suffered and eventually closed.
Undeterred, Harris decided on a course of action that would propel him even further into the world of online commerce. With literally no budget and a shoestring staff Harris started his current company, Tangled Web, Inc. (as a shout out to William Shakespeare and staying true to his Internet roots) and within mere months of inception Harris had squarely positioned himself as an “Internet Marketing Guru” to 100,000’s of thousands of followers & his peers.
In his original 12 Week Intensives he interviewed dozens of internet marketing experts about everything from adwords to copywriting, search engine marketing, social media, viral marketing, and more. Armed with this knowledge and his past success at Ion Entertainment, Harris started to create his own products and continues to derive his primary income from creating and selling his own branded products online.
“Harris Fellman is an Internet Marketing Wizard. I’ve witnessed him command hoards of people with his hilarious marketing antics. He gets the job done and then some.” ~Mark Joyner, #1 Best Selling Author, “Integration Marketing”
After utilizing Social Media Marketing and Viral Marketing to create several product launches ranging from $50,000 to $350,000 in a single week, Harris is thought of by his peers as a go-to guy for Buzz Marketing and Product Launch Consulting. This is why a good portion of Tangled Web’s income also comes from Affiliate Marketing as well as Consulting. Tangled has since created many successful buzz campaigns for it’s clients. Often leading to doubling and tripling the client’s year-to-year results.
“Harris Fellman is the most innovative new energy to hit the web in a long time. He has proven again and again that he is not only innovative but really awesome at pulling out the core of the principles and teaching it to people in a step-by-step simple format so that anyone can master it as well.” ~Joshua Shafran, The “50 Million Dollar Man, creator of the NPOD system
Harris has always had a bent toward entertainment and comedy as well. From his early days in Florida he’s been acting in short films, live improv, commercials and the like. Throughout the 90’s he’s continued to dabble in entertainment in various ways with the idea that one day the worlds of the internet and entertainment would become intertwined in such a way that his unique skills would create a vast range of opportunities. Harris produced, wrote, and starred in the short film, “Spice Guys” which won second place behind a Pixar short at Caroline’s New York Comedy Festival. He also produced the short “Legs to Stand On” which snagged a cameo from Ben Stiller himself. Harris starred in an International Video Game commercial, had a bit part in Snoop Dog’s first film: Tha Eastsidaz, and starred in a number of shorts and independent films. But alas, the life of the starving artist is NOT for Harris.
Presently, Harris has taken character marketing to a new level with many memorable and crazy characters that he’s created to help brand his, and others products allowing him to become a household name in those circles.
“Harris Fellman is the best Internet marketer at making character videos go viral, weaving profitable content with entertaiment worthy of spreading.” ~ Ben Mack, Branding Genius, Amazon #2 Best Selling Author, Former Senior VP at BBDO
With his eye back in the direction of entertainment, Harris hopes to apply his unique online marketing genius to the world of entertainment finally combining his two loves: Internet Marketing and Show Business.
