My Make Money Online Book Hits One Million Pre-Orders on Amazon

April 1st, 2010 by Michael Kwan

Accepting Pre-Orders for Our Book!

Wow. As you may have heard, I co-authored a book with John Chow about how to make money online, specifically from blogging. It wouldn’t really be fair to say that this has been a labor of love, but it would be fair to say that we both put in our blood, sweat and tears into the project. And now it looks like our efforts are finally paying off.

Several online outlets have started to accept pre-orders for the book and it seems that Make Money Online: Roadmap of a Dot Com Mogul is much more popular than anyone could have expected. As it turns out, there have already been ONE MILLION pre-orders placed on Amazon alone.

That’s pretty incredible. In fact, it even caught the attention of Amazon President and CEO Jeff Bezos:

“Never before have we seen this level of interest for such a niche product. Reaching one million pre-orders a full month ahead of release is quite the accomplishment. A well-deserved kudos goes out to John Chow and Michael Kwan.

Amazon fulfillment centers have been working closely with Morgan James Publishing to ensure we can fulfill this increased demand. There should be no issue with pre-order customers receiving their books in early May.”

This is not the first time that I’ve had something listed on Amazon (you can get this blog on your Kindle too), but this book has truly become something else entirely. I’d like to thank all of you for your continuing support.

I guess it’s a good thing I didn’t get hired by the New York Times after all, eh? Fascinating that both of these major career milestones would happen exactly two years apart.

      If you had left out the Jeff Bezos quote, I would have almost believed you.

      Almost.

      I’ve stopped believing anything on April Fools Day. Don’t even believe anything in the paper or online. Not worth the effort for a day that has no meaning. I worked my butt off today, so when I get home I just read for the sake of falling asleep.

      Congratulations. Success in this “niche” could not have happened to a nicer guy (I don’t know much about John Chow other than he’s rich I hear). I am looking forward to getting a copy! Keep up the good work young man, you inspire me!
