Desmond Ong (born 28 October 1990) is a serial entrepreneur, digital marketing expert & a speaker in the field of business. He is also the author of the book, "Against All Odds " -- which shares the story of how he got started with his online business with just $14.

He first tried to sell mobile phone keychains at the age of 15 but was unable to get started due to lack of capital to purchase the wholesale keychains. Frustrated, he went online and found many different ways to start an online business while being anonymous. In 2006, he launched his first blog which was later sold for $300 -- the first batch of money that Ong ever made.

In 2008, he got into affiliate marketing and digital products and started teaching people how to build a blog via his courses online. He made his first $10,000 online after launching his course, "Blog Flipping Secrets".

Inspired by the successes of many digital marketers in the United States, Desmond booked a one way ticket to fly to the United States in 2010 for a change of environment due to stress from his peers and family in Malaysia. Between 2010 and 2014, he was residing in the state of Nebraska, where he would went on to build his first multi-million dollar internet business in.

Today, Ong is an international speaker and is conducting seminars worldwide.
