From boat refugee to retired millionaire, George Tran made it to the top from humble beginnings.
Eugene, Oregon– April 20, 2013 – From boat refugee to retired millionaire, George Tran made it to the top from humble beginnings. Now, George Tran is proud to announce the launch of his new book, The Social Mobile Marketing Guide for Small Businesses. Even better, Tran pledges to give 100% of the profits from the first 30 days of his book sales to Feed the Children. The book will be released on June 1, 2013 and can be purchasedthrough Amazon for $9.99.
Chinese by decent, Vietnamese by birth and Australian by citizenship, author George Tran was nine years old when he arrived on the shores of Australia not knowing a word of English. He was carried on his mother’s hip while fleeing the Viet Cong as they invaded Saigon in 1975. A year later, his family escaped Vietnam in a little riverboat where they were robbed three times by pirates and left to die on the open sea.Luckily, they were discovered by a German freighter and were towed to safety in Malaysia. After living in a refugee camp for the next three years, the Tran family finally arrived in Australia in 1979.
George arrived in America in 1993 and decided to take the entrepreneurial path instead of finding a typical nine-to-five job. Just five years later, he single-handedly programmedwww.1ShoppingCart.com, a website that has become a mainstay of Internet e-commerce. The website is used by tens of thousands of online businesses worldwide.
Fast forward two decades, and Tran is now releasing a book that promises to help millions of local businesses become competitive using mobile marketing.
“While over 95% of small business owners have cell phones, less than 5% have a mobile marketing strategy,” says author George Tran in his new bookThe Social Mobile Marketing Guide for Small Businesses. This book is unique for a non-fiction title because of its story-like format, making it easy for small business owners to understand mobile marketing without the complicated and unnecessary jargon.
Tran says that he would not be here today if it weren’t for organizations such as Feed the Children that aim to help families like his when he was a refugee. By giving to Feed the Children, he hopes to inspire more people to donate and support such foundations,as some of the lives touched by these groups can eventually become productive and influential members of the world community.
The pre-release copy of Tran’s book is available digitally and free of charge onhis website at http://www.socialmobilemarketingguide.com. The book will be available from Amazon and Kindle on June 1, 2013.
