The Early Years of Desmond Ong
Desmond Ong may have started his online business when he was still in secondary school, but it took him a few years — and a massive stroke of luck — before he realized how to make money from it.
His family had been running a leather goods business, but it had collapsed in the face of the Asian financial crisis in 1997.
To support his family, he found work at a steamboat restaurant, where he would clear tables and wash dishes after school every day. There was grease everywhere, so the labor was back-breaking. To make matters worse, he was paid only $1 per hour. He gave half of his salary to his parents and used the remaining money to pay for web hosting fees, which allowed him to keep his blogs online. But his mother was less enthusiastic about his ‘hobby’. Little did she know that Desmond had been attending school without a textbook. He felt that it was too expensive and didn’t want to trouble his parents to afford one.
Worried that he was spending too much time on blogging and not enough time studying, his mother tried to ‘sabotage’ his online business.
The Turn of Events
Desmond sold his blog, greatmoney.com, for $300. It was the largest amount he had made from his online business. Excited, he shared his experience — more precisely, how he managed to sell his blog for $300 — on the same Internet forum. As his story became more and more popular, another member of the Internet forum advised him to package his knowledge into an eBook. His first eBook, at just 5 pages long, sold $1,500 worth of copies. Sensing an opportunity, he created a longer version of his first eBook and made $3,500 from it. An even newer version of the eBook garnered $11,500 in sales. By 21, just 6 years after he started his online business, Desmond had become a millionaire.
Today, Desmond is the owner of an online business empire, with over a million to his name — and people from all over the region queuing up for a chance to learn the secrets behind his success.
