15-Year-Old Interviews Jeremy Schoemaker aka Shoemoney...

    I recently conducted an interview with shoemoney. It's going to be part of my upcoming book called eMillions: Behind-The-Scenes Stories of 14 Internet Millionaires (thats a real published book, not an ebook).

    But I've decided to give away one of the interviews for free on my blog. It's pretty long (8,000 words) so I broke it down into 3 small, digestible chunks. Part 1 is here:

    http://www.emillionsblog.com/interview-with-shoemoney-part-1/

    I'll put up part 2 later today, and part 3 tomorrow. Enjoy :)

    Very nice, he is one of the few big famous internet moguls who I can seem to personally relate to; I guess his blog is somewhat more personal than those of the other super-bloggers and I'm in the position where I too am seriously thinking of quitting my day job so your interview came at the best time for me....

    How lucky you are to have a chance to interview Shoemaker... have you tried John Chow too?

    Nope... cause he wasn't an internet millionaire. My book is called "eMillions: Behind The Scenes Stories of 14 Internet Millionaires"

    :)

    Probably for my next project.

    Well, they don't exactly do get rich quick things... they build proper businesses and services.

    Some people consider them to have a big ego, flaunt themselves or whatever...either way you look at it, what people say about them is more advertising for them and there blog. They still get plenty of people flocking to there websites to see what they will write about next. Jeremy took an idea for a cell phone site, made his own app and that stie took off. The revenue he made from that is what bolted him into making even more money. He took that income and had other business/websites built, some were sold (like auctionads) and others are still just lingering around the net, like his underabuck site. All in all it is a great read, and to some people reading the interview it might inspire them to finally get up and try there own ideas to making them money on the internet.

    Absolutely. He never gave up and never settled. I guess that was the reason I decided to write my book in the first place, to profile the STORIES of successful internet millionaires to hopefully inspire and motivate others to do the same.

    Thanks man. Appreciate it :)

    LOL... no offense but you obviously didn't read the interview... (I guess just trying to inflate the post counts)
