Blog Tag – 5 Things You Don’t Know About Ben Wills

Usually, stuff like this would get glossed over. I’ve never sent a piece of chain email, but it’s fun and I could use the mental break after two all-nighters in a row. Plus, I could say that it’s “viral,” “social” and “engaging” if I really needed to justify its presence.

So, Andy has tagged me to play “Blog Tag.” Basically, I share five things about me that you probably don’t know, and pass on the tagging to 5 others.

1. I used to DJ progressive house music and throw raves. You know, the scary parties that you don’t want your kids going to.

2. I wanted to be a paleontologist for about 10 years before finally giving in to the reality during high school that I was going to end up some form of online business.

3. At my first online marketing job, I was hired as a salesperson. If you know me, didn’t know this and just shot soda out of your nose due to the fantastical humor in that, I apologize for my timing. I almost sold an account to the Bank of Qatar. Well, not really.

4. I went to UT Austin for computer science. I dropped out after that year. It was a fun year.

5. I love lamp.

And, next up:

Cord Silverstein, Abhilash Patel, Todd Malicoat, Garrett French, and one I’ve never met: Tom Chandler

   I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of “our generation” of internet marketers didn’t go to raves. (I’m going to make the leap and assume you are around the same age as me)
