The interview I did with New Straits Times (NST) has been published in today’s newspaper on Page #12, “Casting the Net for money“.

The article interviewed three full-time Internet entrepreneurs in Malaysia: Samsul(Alang), Gobala and me(LiewCF). In the article, we share our stories and experiences of making money online.

Advice to make money online
“When you start, don’t think of making money first. Treat it like a hobby. Be patient and hard working. The rewards are sweet.”
Thanks, Alang. I totally agree. 
What you might not know behind the article
I was contacted by Mr. Chow for the interview first and it had been delayed for sometime. Chow asked me for recommendations of other Malaysian full-time Internet entrepreneurs. I gave him a list and apparently he picked Alang and Gobala.
Alang is my idol. He taught me a lot about Google AdSense. He was making $100 per day when I was still only $10 per day. Although Alang’s main income is not from blogging, he still inspired me a lot and has always been my target.
To your surprise, both Gobala and me are from Kluang, Johor - a small town in the middle of Johor. So, move to Kluang and your children will become Internet entrepreneurs too! 
Gobala is a successful Internet Marketer as you can read in the article. He is making RM20K to RM30K per month. By the way, I haven’t met Gobala before.
I was told by Chow that he is leaving NST. Wish him luck in his new journey. No, he is not becoming Internet entrepreneurs after interviewing us.

Congrat Liew, probably the internet marketer should also assist those in brick & mortar business to switch to internet marketing!
