What advice would you give a young entrepreneur trying to make money online running community driven websites?
You can’t set up a forum, invite people over, and expect it to flourish. Be unique, and think like a businessman. Ask yourself questions. Why do people sign up and leave? Why are people not posting? Do something UNIQUE that makes guests WANT to stay. Strategize on how to be successful. ZuneBoards was established months before the Zune itself was released, because I knew it’d give us a head start on search rankings. We recruited hackers before the Zune was released, and as soon as it was released, we released a Zune hack within days. That Zune hack was our huge “breakthrough,” as we started to receive tens and thousands of hits, and hundreds of registrations in a single day. We continued to release these types of things often, and we, ZuneBoards STOOD for something. It wasn’t just another place to talk about zunes, it was a unique place to discuss the modding of the Zune. But don’t just stop there. Continue to seek more and more ways to make your community stand for something. Monopolize, outsmart your competition. As soon as Zune Games were confirmed, we immediately started setting out plans on how to dominate in that category. We set up forum categories for Zune games (note, that this is still months they were actually released), and immediately started SEO work, and set up a plan of what exactly to do as soon as games for the Zune were released.
Use your resources. Use your staff. Use Digg, Reddit, and other large sites. If you have GOOD content, then Digg, Reddit, Engadget, Gizmodo, and other mega-sites (depending on the niche), should have no problem featuring you.
Don’t overdo your ads, it will turn people away. Try your best to stay away from annoying flashy ads, and those that expand over your content. Depending on your niche, some ads will do better than others. Play around with ad sizes, colors, and types. Don’t make your revenue stream dependent on one network, use a variety of them. You will notice that during some seasons, some networks will do better than others. Try playing around with both CPC, CPM, and even CPA ads. You’ll be surprised to see how well they work together.

Interview with Stanley Tang - Author of eMillions

I understand that you will only earn $3 per book sold, why did you decide to create a printed book rather than a eBook which you could of sold for $67 per eBook sold?
Yes indeed. I get 20% royalties from the profits and the price of my book is $19.95 (remember there are still costs) so you can work out how much I make per book. I don’t actually make most of the money from selling the book, but instead, using the book.
Let me explain:
David Hancock, founder of Morgan James Publishing, once said “An Entrepreneurial Author is an author who knows that they will make the most money from what their book does for them—not from the royalties of that book.” For example, you use your book to help position yourself as an expert in your niche and build credibility. Another way is to use your book as a frontend and help drive the backend sales (which is what I’m doing here with my eMillions book launch). A book is a perfect lead generation tool to attract people into your marketing funnel.

A lot of young entrepreneurs have decided to start their business online, where would you recommend them to start? What do they need to start a successful website online?
I would recommend new Net entrepreneurs to start by building quality content for their website. Google loves content. Don’t focus on making money online in the beginning. Just focus on writing quality content for a few months. Once you have at least 25 pages of relevant content on your site, you need to promote this aggressively. Promotion is easy if you have good content as people will want to link to your website if they find the information useful. Promote in tutorial sites, directories, write to the webmasters if they can add your site in their link pages. I remember when I launched Entheos, I spent the first year just writing content and submitting my tutorials everywhere I could find. You can add Google Adsense to earn revenue from your free tutorial pages. Once you have good resources and promote aggressively you will see the results come in. This increases over time as your ranking gets higher in Google as domain age comes into effect. You will see a snow ball effect over a few years.
