How the computer mastermind earned his name and took the internet by storm.
What began as a 13-year-old computer prodigy turning his passion into an idea has evolved into an online empire led one of the smartest businessmen on the internet. Hunter Johnson has successfully and single-handedly built a multimillion-dollar business at only 24 years old. Hunter began designing video games as a young teen, and it was immediately apparent that he had a unique gift. In fact, one of the first games Hunter created accumulated more than 1 million users, and generated over half a million dollars by the time he was 20 years old. He also gained over 50 million YouTube views on influencer marketing. Although highly impressive, let alone for someone as young as Hunter, this was just the beginning.
It’s safe to say Hunter’s computer skills paid off at an early age, but what would come only a few years later took his career, and lifestyle, to the next level. So, what is it that turned him into a multimillionaire? It starts with his knowledge of programming. Hunter wrote an artificial intelligence trading program called $oteria. From there, he entered the field of information aggregation, a field he is still finding great success in to this day. In fact, Hunter created an algorithm to compile everything on the internet about any given person. Essentially, the technology brands users to send them targeted advertisements.
Johnson’s algorithm collects everything including social profiles, past addresses, phone numbers, emails, criminal history, and can identify personal interests. Today, he provides this as a service, which is successfully making him over $700,000 per month just in subscription revenue alone. As far as his own business endeavors, Hunter has found much success in using his own algorithm to his advantage. He is known for identifying profitable business models, precisely imitating them, then using his artificial intelligence experience to create marketing campaigns targeted at his ideal audience. Therefore, taking the customers of his competitors for himself.
Is this a morally sound business? Some would think not; however, it has driven Hunter to become wildly successful in just a few years. Hence, the nickname he has coined for himself: The dark prince of the internet. So, how did he get into this line of entrepreneurship in the first place? According to Hunter, he read about a man that was able to outpace Facebook in his early years offering similar subscription-based services.
“The attractive part about this business is due to it being so technologically intensive, that the barrier to entry for other competitors is incredibly high once I enter the space and drive ad prices up,” says Hunter. “Beyond that, once everything is set up, the business runs itself as a fully automated system. At this point, I could die and my company would still process millions of dollars in sales throughout the year.”
A business that does all the work for you once it’s built and launched? That doesn’t sound so bad. While it may be a controversial endeavor, we’re sure to see more coming from Hunter in the near future. He certainly isn’t afraid to go to bat with his competition, and won’t back down until he comes out on top with another victory.
“I am the dark prince of the internet, computer prodigy, and I’m coming for your business next.”
