Welcome to readers of Apple Daily that are visiting from the publication this morning regarding the release of my upcoming book, eMillions: Behind-The-Scenes Stories of 14 Successful Internet Millionaires. If you would like to pre-order copy of that book, then head over to Amazon.com or to a local bookstore (preferably PageOne or Commercial Press).
I have also set up a eMillions Blog where I provide you a “behind-the-scenes” look at a best-selling book in the making. I reveal everything from how to write your book to finding a publisher to promoting your book. You may visit that at http://www.emillionsblog.com
If this is your first time to StanleyTang.com then let me give you a quick tour of the place. Grab a coffee and make yourself comfortable while I show you around.
Firstly, StanleyTang is a blog about my life and experiences as a teenage entrepreneur. I post thoughts and opinions as well as document what is it I do. Topics range from internet marketing to affiliate marketing to blogging to ecommerce to personal life. Here’s a couple of links to give you a little information about me.

Hi Stanley,
I wish you all the best! I think you are very talented. You goal of earning billions before 30 is good. However, I wish this is not the only goal in your life.
I hope you could be a role model for other teenagers, contribute to the societies, and helping the poor.
I do not like appledaily which highlight the “money earning” aspect of your talent.
Anyway, I am sure you will have many other media exposures, but please, try to use the best of them , not only to promote yourself, but also deliver good and healthy messages.
May God bless you.
Hi????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Dear Stanley,
Wishing you the best of luck with your book and business. Looks like you are very knowledgeable in promoting yourself online. And the front page news coverage of you and your book can help quite a bit.
Best Regards,
Kempton
P.S. If you haven’t already, I highly recommend you take a look of Alice S.’ new bio of Warren Buffett “The Snowball”. I think it is a good read and I’ve recommended it to my friends.
Nice job! I have noticed your presence in IM since your book on viral marketing. btw I’m in HK as well with similar goal as yours. Probably we could do some JVs together (though I’m yet to get to the same position like you)
@steve yup. used to be PR3 but got decreased in the last google update (there was a period where I didn’t update my blog for a couple of months. I guess that’s the reason). I have plenty of other sites which all have PR3s and PR4s.
@Carrie thanks. Yes, apple daily did exaggerate many of the things I said and put some of my quotes out of context. I did try to deliver a message by telling them money isn’t everything… and there is hope in an economic crisis
@deby sorry the blog can’t read chinese…
@Kempton thanks. Yes the frontpage coverage will. It was all part of the promotion plan
No I haven’t read The Snowball, I will check it out though.
@Ken thanks Ken. Email me if you are interested (go to my contacts page)
See if u dont have your dad what can u do about it eh?
whatever kid… ha ha… see how you going to do? buy a headline in Appledaily eh? LOL
You are not scare of the market? well, I think u had never encounter any shit out there… but anyway u wont suffer anything coz u got a kool dad LOL
Well done. Just to let you know I did not borrow a single dollar off my dad when I made my first US$10,000. The only money my dad gave me was when I needed investment for my book. And you shouldn’t believe in everything that article says… it’s Appledaily. There are obviously many exaggerations and quotes put out of context.
good job stanley
Oh my god Stanley, you are my idol!!! Im sure you must have gone through lot of hard work to become the successful person you are today. Keep up the good work and I’m definitely buying your book!!!
P.S add me on msn if you can, dragonmastersword@hotmail.com
Thanks!
I saw a lot of negative post in Appledaily. Anyway, you have done a great job and just neglect other’s bad comments because those criticized you cannot even write a page of your book.
I don’t like reading, probably I won’t read your book but I do wish you can suceed in near future!
Hot ideas and great success often brought controversy criticism, that’s the law. A lot of people hate Bill Gates and Li Ka Shing but they are successful, that’s why.
Hi Steve,
I am amazed by the essay on Apple Daily. I admit that I wrote some comments at Apple Daily’s page, but I still think you’re a successful teenager. After a few years my webpage is still just load of my hobbies, which only worth seeing, lol.
Actually you are born to success! You are living in a very good family, so make use of everything your family can provide you! Wish you luck!!
Hi Stanley,
Do you know which is the top number one SEO discussion forum in the world?
Regards,
Ken
You are much smarter than I was in your age.
I am planning to start my own business too and I wish you every success in the future.
Hi Stanley,
I see you have set your goal for the following years. I can hardly see a teenager in Hong Kong have such positive attitude towards difficulties. Wish you have good luck in the future!
ANyone interested in reading the article (in Chinese):
http://appledaily.atnext.com/template/apple/art_main.cfm?iss_id=20081020&sec_id=4104&subsec_id=11866&art_id=11741004
@may thanks
@Kenneth thanks. Added.
@Will absolutely. I can think of many examples – The Da Vinci Code, The Secret.
@Harry Thanks
@dragonken digitalpoint
@fredar good luck
@Raymond thank you. having the right mindset is key.
@Josh lol. you read it as well josh?
Well done Stanley! Your positive attitude and perseverance are very good encouragement for everyone, young and old. I wish you every success in your life’s journey.
Go reach for your star(s)!
SHOW ME YOUR SEARCH ENGINE (you made one?)
@Ally thanks.
@keith Would love to… but it’s currently still under development (I work with partners so I can’t expose too much info until it’s officially released). In the meantime, feel free to use the search engine up in the top right hand corner of this blog.
Hi Stanley,
Appreciate what you have done in your age.
In current economic situation, easy money has gone far away. So that entrepreneur and their products must be really useful to users. I was also doing some kind of web 2.0 project (beta.homebloc.com) aiming at create value to users in the reality. If you would like to exchange ideas on web entrepreneurship, feel free to give me an email.

@waszezit thanks. I’ve got plenty of web 2.0 ideas myself. Email me via my contacts page.
LOL!! I read the news and visited ur site. i think ur blog content is not good enough man ….. the news claimed that u design ur own website.. etc…. obviously this theme is not designed by u? one more thing: i think its good enough to learn about internet marketing by reading johnchow and problogger.com? lol… good lucks..
Obviously not… cause its my blog. I create my other sites (i.e. the ones that make me the money). This is just where I post about my personal thoughts. And obviously you didn’t read my other blog post over at http://www.emillionsblog.com. Like I said, AppleDaily exaggerates many things so not everything in that article is 100% true.
And speaking of JohnChow, here’s me featured on his site:
http://www.johnchow.com/emillions-teenager-investigates-internet-millionaires
I suggest you to go read my interview with Shoemoney:
http://www.emillionsblog.com/interview-with-shoemoney-part-1/
Next time put your biography onto Wenweipo and Takungpo, these papers are much better than Apple.
Nice to meet u, your story was also publish by 1 of Malaysia newspaper; oriental daily, and tats how i get to knw u. You hve been giving great tips on many online money making topics.
Well done n keep it up!

our youth in such a tight time
stanley, Chinese medias interest your story I will lead them
to see in my blogs. (Sorry, Appledaily is now being banned

btw, i dont really understand how to make a lot of money on the internet. i am still stuck at the idea of putting google adsense code onto my website and stuff.
@Harry I’m on the newspaper for Sing Tao today (a lot better than Apple)
@AhBoon Thanks! appreciate it
@geoege thank you.
@andy there are tons of ways. Google adsense is one way (thats how I got started). There’s affiliate marketing, SEO, info product creation, blogging etc
welldone
