Does your business need visitors? What we call TRAFFIC?!?!
Do you have a ‘going business’ with a proven sales system, and great products and services? Or a startup idea that doesn’t need operations funding so much as immediate marketing thrust to get off the launch pad?
If getting in front of many more customers is the only obstacle holding you back from ‘scaling up’ to a truly GREAT business, pay attention . . .
Introducing an Exclusive Domain Name Leasing OR Joint Venture (JV) Opportunity to Quickly Explode Your Company’s Lead Flow, Make More Sales Every Month & Effortlessly Multiply Your Profits — with Zero Risk and Zero Cost!*
NOTE: The “domain leasing” deal scenario is the only real exception to the “no cost, no risk” verbiage you’ve seen throughout this offer letter. If you are selected for the domain name sales and fulfillment partnership joint venture, there is no cost and no risk to become a member of the eRealEstate Family of Sites and use your chosen domain name because we will benefit when your company makes money in a pay-for-performance fashion. If instead you choose to lease one of our domain names because you are confident in your company’s success using this asset and do not want to share profits, OR if you apply as a joint venture partner and are not accepted, then there will be an affordable monthly fee to use one of our domain names and you keep the profits. Domainnames listed on JointVentures.com with a MONTHLY LEASE PRICE are in MOST cases available ONLY for leasing or leasing with option to buy and not partnership joint ventures...but it never hurts to ask via a full partnership application.

Hi, I’m internet entrepreneur Rick Schwartz and I have a joint venture proposal for you.
Since 1995, I’ve spent over $7,000,000 creating an internet empire that produces consistent daily targeted website visitor “traffic”.
Over 3,000,000 consumers per month visit our company Targeted Traffic’s website internet properties, visitors looking for products and services to buy RIGHT NOW across over (50) different niche industries, niches such as:
Education, real estate, adult entertainment, outdoors gear, gambling, business opportunity, travel, staffing, luxury goods, online entertainment, movies, virtual technologies, flowers, gifts, legal services, lodging, fashion, men’s and women’s clothing, web development, auctions, marketing services, aviation, medicine, wholesale products, jewelry, HVAC, the arts, online gaming, furniture, wedding services, technology, novelty items, horseracing, precious metals and gems, video services, snacks, dating and personals, telecommunications, and so on.
Our business does not have the resources, time, or infrastructure necessary to actively go into all of the businesses for which we own “internet real estate” domain names receiving traffic and generating over 100,000 potential customers each and every day.
Instead, we LEASE our domain names or joint venture with companies to develop them into website businesses, website domain names such as Homemade.com; HelicopterCharters.com; ModelHomes.com;Tradeshows.com; or SexyUnderwear.com— among over 500 similarly valuable domains available— perhaps even one you've already got your eye on since you found this information.
If you’re an existing business owner, CEO or marketing executive — or an aspiring entrepreneur planning a startup business — looking to generate PROFITS selling products & services in one of the industry sectors in which we have proven customer DEMAND clamoring for a quality SUPPLY….then the business-growth and scaling breakthrough you’ve dreamed about is knocking at your door right here, right now…
We’re going to give ONE company in your niche industry a chance to be our sales and fulfillment partner, either through a joint venture or a domain lease.
We’ll structure a JV or lease deal (all deals are unique) that might include monthly lease fee or some of these elements: pay-per-lead, pay-per-sale, pay-per-call, profit percentage, equity stake in your company.
Then we’ll start sending you targeted website and phone sales referrals. When you sell your products and services to our prospects, as JV partners we’ll split the profits with no cost and no risk to you*(qualifications apply), and as a leasing client you keep your increased profits.
If you have a ‘going business’ that already generates sales from a proven customer acquisition model, or a great idea for a new startup business and just need more customers, then what you need to EXPLODE your business immediately to record levels is available through doing business with our company.
But here’s the bad news: there is a very NARROW opportunity of time for YOUR company to win this unique marketing partnership with us before one of your competitors applies and is chosen FIRST!
We live in challenging times economically. I don't need to tell you that getting heard and being seen as a business in today’s busy, hectic, keyed-up, complicated world is getting more difficult — and more expensive. In my experience, a marketing joint venture is quite literally the most powerful and effective form of marketing, positioning and client acquisition on earth — without exception.
And when you consider that in this case it can be a no-risk, pay-per-performance proposition where no money comes out of our pocket until you’ve generated leads and/or made sales*, you may be like a growing number of businesses thrilled to partner with our company, Targeted Traffic.
Some of the biggest, most recognizable companies in the world have “keyword-rich domains” that receive “type-in traffic” just like mine. Domain names like these can and do sell in the secondary market for hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars. I could sell my valuable internet properties to big businesses — in fact, earlier in my career I made over $10,000,000 with sales to major companies like CNN — but many valuable domain names owned by our company have been set aside for free use by eRealEstate Family of Websites member companies since I choose instead to joint venture with smaller companies with big ambitions, and create a lifetime win-win for both parties.
Here are just a few of the exciting website businesses in the eRealEstate Family of Sites Network: Candy.com; RumorMill.com; PunchBowl.com; Luv.com; BirthdayParty.com; ExtraCash.com; BestMan.com; HelicopterCharter.com; Carnations.com; Widgets.com; CubicZirconia.com; Property.com; PersonalAds.com; TopSecret.com; and many more!
Our joint venture partners and domain lessees end their dependence on search engines and paying for online traffic through risky advertising options that are “impression-based”, leveraging the traffic we have coming in daily without you or we having to lift a finger — plus they get all kinds of other marketing, branding, positioning, credibility, memorability, and business growth benefits of operating their business online from a category-dominating domain name.
We have your customers locked up right here.
If your company is chosen we’ll set up a 3 month (90 day) test program where our company sends your website and sales funnel qualified, targeted prospects to see what you can do. If it goes well, then we’ll make you our exclusive partner and keep sending you leads for years to come. All we ask is fair compensation as your partner in exchange.
Don’t hesitate! Apply NOW for this exclusive limited-time opportunity.
To Making More Profits!

This is a deal made just for you, for a premium domain name available in YOUR INDUSTRY
Education, real estate, adult entertainment, outdoors gear, gambling, business opportunity, travel, staffing, luxury goods, online entertainment, movies, virtual technologies, flowers, gifts, legal services, lodging, fashion, men’s and women’s clothing, web development, auctions, marketing services, aviation, medicine, wholesale products, jewelry, HVAC, the arts, online gaming, furniture, wedding services, technology, novelty items, horseracing, precious metals and gems, video services, snacks, dating and personals, telecommunications, and so on . . . we’re talking DOZENS of different business categories.
Our digital media marketing business does not have the resources, time, staff or infrastructure necessary to actively go into all of the businesses for which we own 'internet real estate' domain name website addresses receiving traffic and generating potential customers each and every day…there’s no possible way we canservice all of these hundreds of thousands of customer prospects in the highest and best way across so many industries that we are daily generating leads online.
In fact, we have ZERO plans now or in the future ourselves to provide travel services, wedding services, video services, real estate services, or staffing services; we also have ZERO plans now or in the future ourselves to personally sell gambling, jewelry, outdoors gear, novelty item or business opportunity products to the millions of captive audience prospects each month who visit our websites looking for these very products and services as a result of our unique marketing methods.
Same goes for the dozens and dozens of other industries where we have a source of customer demand for products and services ready and waiting to be fulfilled by a quality source of supply.
Because our business is NOT actively designing, manufacturing, making, promoting or selling products or services in any one of those individual industry sectors!
In fact, from the founding of our company we have worked to develop one – and only one— variable of the sales and business equation: our business focuses exclusively on creating consistent and growing sources of internet TRAFFIC, the equalizing success “x-factor” of any company with big ambitions doing business online today.
Here's the skinny: We have "stores" that potential customers come inside to browse, and they do it all the time! These are online website visitors who visit our storefronts, and we personally have NOTHING to sell them!
Here's A Brief, Concrete Example
In 2009, when I owned premium keyword domain Candy.com, the website received an average of 40,000 visitors per month and earned a respectable, but low, "per visitor profit" of $100 per day, with ZERO advertising (paid OR requiring effort) and almost ZERO work. This was from a business model sometimes called “domain parking”, which earns money from what are sometimes called ‘click advertisements’ (I’ll define these terms in depth as you read on, okay?).
In 2010, the small candy company that now operates Candy.com in partnership with our company recouped their $3,000,000 investment in buying the domain name within about 12 months by way of new sales and business growth. And that growth has continued, as this small company gets bigger and more profitable— a growth some attribute to upgrading their domain name website address to a generic category-name and improved online presence.
In 2011, the company that acquired Candy.com from our company continued growing quarter over quarter, and had a record-setting $6,000,000 sales revenue year.
In 2012, these smart entrepreneurs have transformed an underutilized internet property into a premiere online destination no one can match as the “world’s corner candy store”, selling 6000+ products to hundreds of thousands of customers around the world— and personally I’m thrilled since the domain name has been developed much better and more profitably than I ever could have managed alone (not being in or knowing anything about the candy business), and I had the foresight to ask for and receive as a silent partner a small ‘royalty’ percentage of ongoing sales from the company that did a deal with me to acquire, use, and develop that domain name into their company’s new website address and ‘home’ on the internet.
Is it surprising to you that 40,000 monthly visitors and a premium domain name like Candy.com would only earn me $100 per day in profits, but in the right hands could be the backbone of a multi-million dollar firm able to recoup a $3,000,000 domain investment in just months?
What is the benefit for YOU to read every word of this very important letter and unique, time-limited opportunity to do something JUST like what I just shared with you?
Well, if you’re an existing business owner, CEO or marketing executive— or an aspiring entrepreneur— looking to generate PROFITS selling quality products and services in one of the industry sectors in which we have proven customer DEMAND clamoring for your SUPPLY….then this could mean the business-growth and scaling breakthrough you’ve been dreaming about is knocking at your door right here, right now . . .
In brief, we’re going to choose ONE company in your niche industry a chance to be our sales and fulfillment partner.
We'll "JV" (Joint Venture) together: And when you sell your products and services to our prospects, we'll split the profits with no cost and no risk to you*.
Do you want better qualified traffic? YES!
Do you want more sales? YES!
Do you want more money? YES!
Do a deal with the eRealEstate Family of Sites and you can take care of all three . . . Guaranteed!
Why not Joint Venture with us?
No risk . . . No Costs . . . No Brainer!

This website domain name
address is available for lease OR for development joint ventures.
That’s bad news if you’re a consumer looking to research your options or make a purchase here. Because this website, as of today, can’t help you meet your need. That’s a shame; you’ll have to look somewhere other than where you intuitively came, just now, to find what you wanted.
But, the lack of an online business here, on the website address domain name you just typed in, could be GREAT news if you are in this same business, or want to be, and have a healthy ambition. Let me speak directly to you the businessman or businesswoman, and tell you how lucky you are to have visited this website address today (Hint: soon, when consumers visit this website address, they could be seeing YOUR company).
"How did I get invited to read this exclusive webpage and Joint Venture opportunity?"
If you reached this webpage, it’s likely because you typed in a website address domain name among the 7000+ premium websites in my company portfolio, maybe checking out 'what the competition was up to' or looking at our website address for advertising or strategic alliance opportunities…and this domain URL — maybe even one of those mentioned above — is currently “forwarded” or “linked” for a LIMITED TIME to a copy of this letter describing our exclusive joint venture opportunity for ONE company in your niche industry to become our chosen sales and fulfillment partner.
And I do really mean “exclusive” and for a “limited time”.
In fact, just a short while ago if you visited the website address you typed in to be redirected to this webpage, you would have seen something ENTIRELY DIFFERENT than this website partnership offer letter…Instead, you’d have seen a webpage filled with a bunch of “click advertisements” that when you (or anyone in the world) clicked on them, my company would get paid.
This screenshot gives you an example of the kind of ads I’m talking about:
You probably recognize that screenshot as coming from Google.com’s search results, right? If you’re anything like billions of others on the planet, you use search engines like Google to find information on stuff you’re interested in learning about or buying just about every day. Here’s something most people do NOT know, however . . .
“Click advertisements” just like these - those shaded in the tan background - show up not just on search engine results but also on the private websites of information publishers like AOL, online newspapers, blog owners, ESPN, and thousands of other websites owned by smaller online publishers just like mine!
BUT when the advertisement click originates NOT from a search engine like Google but from a website like mine . . . the revenue paid by that advertiser for that clickthrough referral gets SHARED with the website owner. That’s an oversimplification, and I’ll touch further on this concept often called “domain parking” later when the topic bears on our discussion, but for now, I just want you to know that . . .
When anyone in the world clicks an advertisement on a search engine, the search engine pockets that revenue and delivers the click-through referral to the business paying to advertise their website. These “click advertisements” have earned my company a very lucrative income for over 17 years, but it’s always been part of our “master plan” to develop bigger income streams by LEASING my domain name properties and by PARTNERING with real businesses to operate my domain name properties in a profit-sharing arrangement.
In my opinion, there has never been more opportunity and less leadership in the world than there is today.
In this narrow window of time you’ve fortunately found yourself here…if you happen to be a business owner or marketing executive in one of the niche industries where our company controls one or more premium keyword-rich domain names with significant customer prospect internet traffic…you can profit greatly by joining the growing “tribe” of LEADERS and their companies participating in our master plan.
. . . proud of the growing number of websites and companies that lease one of our premium domain names for an affordable monthly fee, or from whom our company receives a percentage ownership and/or royalty income in joint venture with my eRealEstate family of website operator partners.
This network includes such websites as Candy.com, RumorMill.com, PunchBowl.com, Luv.com, BirthdayParty.com, ExtraCash.com, BestMan.com, HelicopterCharter.com, Carnations.com, Widgets.com, CubicZirconia.com, Property.com, PersonalAds.com, Cowboys.com, TopSecret.com and more… a rapidly growing group of businesses run independently by companies that lease our domains or else partner with us in exchange for our passive ownership/royalty interest and sometimes role as an advisor to the business’s operators.
Current JV partners and firms that lease our domain names have said that their decision to do business with our company was among the very best actions they took in the entire history of their business— whether they pay an affordable monthly fee to build their company’s premium website presence on one of our domain names (i.e. “lease”)… or whether they instead pay us a percentage of sales, royalty, or provide company equity in exchange for the opportunity with no up-front cost and no risk (i.e. “joint venture”).
Don’t hesitate! Apply NOW for this exclusive limited-time opportunity.

Now that I have your complete attention, grab a cold (or hot) beverage, turn off your cell phone, click off that social network I may have been sharing your attention with, close the door to the room, and settle in comfortably so you can fully read, understand, and be ready to act upon this exclusive time-limited opportunity.
Allow me to start at the beginning of our company’s history, share my vision with you, and help you realize that— like some of our existing joint venture partners and the companies that lease one of our valuable domain name properties — reading (and acting upon) this offer may be one of the highest return-on-time-investment activities you’ll EVER complete in your business career.
To continue my story, starting in 1995 and working from a set of rigid value-based criteria of mw own design, I bought and bought and bought every one of these premium keyword-rich domain names I could get my hands on …I had my eyes on a future explosion of the Internet I believed would happen even when people thought I was a little crazy investing millions of dollars in something intangible you couldn’t see, taste, touch, smell or hear.
Before slowing down to implement the next phase of my plan, that I’m telling you more about in this letter, I spent a total of $7 million dollars investing in premium domain names.
That is really not a very big number relative to the seed capital that infused some of the truly great companies in the world early in their development.
However, when you look at bang for the buck, history and the ever-increasing appreciation of the domain name “internet real estate” market has proven that my capital investment represents a true value many, many, MANY times more than what I actually paid.
And that “increase in asset value” is not even counting the addition of the daily dividends those domains provided for over 17 years now from those “click-advertisements” mentioned before that provide what I call “nickel and quarter” income to my company. Anytime someone in the world visits one of my “parked” domains and clicks on those little advertising links similar to what you see also on search engine results, our company makes money—something at present that happens just about every minute of every day.
And all those nickels, quarters and dollars in income from “click advertisements” ADD UP FAST. To make it simple, even though my investments in domains in terms of earnings and asset value appreciation have out-performed Microsoft, Dell, Amazon, eBay or any other stock on the market on a dollar-for-dollar ROI basis In my opinion, what our company has earned so far is just the TIP OF THE PROVERBIAL ICEBERG.
Few people would believe if I told them exactly how much money I’ve made online from these simple “click advertisements” on my website domains.
As you’ll learn in this offer letter, I’m giving you a unique opportunity to ALSO profit outrageously from my foresight and investments if you are chosen to partner with our company with no cost and no risk, implementing the “next level” monetization plan for some of my domain names that receive prospect traffic in your industry with plans to share in the profits...or else if you make the decision to lease one of our company’s domain name properties for an affordable monthly fee to use as the new online home for your company.
Just like with physical real estate where the land is valuable in and of itself but the income potential can be increased a hundred-fold through the building of shopping centers, apartment complexes, skyscrapers and office parks, so too does the equivalent possibility exist in my world of digital domain name website addresses, sometimes now called “internet real estate”.
My couple million dollars in investment has a current net worth of over $1 billion in RAW and UNDEVELOPED dotcom “internet real estate” assets just waiting to be brought to the next level of monetization through development and joint venture partnerships with companies like YOURS that are capable of selling to and servicing the customer demand we have across so many niche industries.
In fact, I am on record over 15 years ago saying in public numerous times that what I was doing in buying up my portfolio of domain names was nothing more than staking an umbrella in the sand, and sipping my drink on a
glorious, beautiful virgin undeveloped beach I was fortunate to discover — while I waited for the rest of the world to stumble on my discovery and want to join me.
I approached doing business on the internet with a 20-year plan. That always raises some eyebrows. But it was with this 20-year plan in mind that I have always moved forward. That plan is now more than 50% complete, and this offer letter will reach a group of talented and ambitious individuals and companies that will profit in helping me complete the rest of the plan.
Are you intrigued by what I’ve revealed so far?
Well then, keep reading, because if your business qualifies for a no-risk, no-cost joint venture website partnership, and if you’re chosen as the company we believe has the best potential to monetize traffic and prospects from our targeted domains in your niche...OR you have the confidence and cash to lease one of our domain names and you keep the profits…business (and life) is about to get VERY exciting as the newest member in the eRealEstate Family of Sites.
From the mid 1990s and for more than a decade, while some big companies were sleeping at the wheel and the so-called “Ivory Tower” marketing intellectuals trying to get into online marketing were worried about ‘branding’ and ‘impressions’, I was quietly investing in the fuel for ANY business—floods and floods of targeted customer prospects.
While the mediocre advertising executives of the world struggled to get a handle on whether this ‘dot-com Internet thing’ would turn out to be a fad, I was creating ASSETS capable of producing leads on demand for a huge array of niche industries—all for a one-time expense with minimal maintenance or ongoing cost . . .
You betcha, that’s in a sense exactly what my company has created by harnessing “keyword-rich domains” and the power of a little-known marketing strategy called “type-in-traffic” that requires almost ZERO COST to maintain and can flood any business with pre-qualified prospects interested in buying their products and services.
Every day the internet grows, and every day the value of my domain portfolio and its resulting ability to make SALES to internet prospects through targeted traffic grows too.
Which means good news for you:
And for your company to get the benefit, the investment of millions of dollars has ALREADY BEEN made by the "Domain King", yours truly, so you don’t have to! I mean think about it . . .
Not to mention, by making initial sales of your products and services to these fresh, hot, eager-to-buy prospects, you’ve also just been given a boatload of new, cash-spending customers that with a little effort on your part to create a RELATIONSHIP will buy from you again and again…because IF you know anything about business, the BIG PROFITS isn’t in the first sales but in developing the relationship with repeat customers.
Fact is… using keyword-rich domains as my vehicle, and leveraging the phenomenon of type-in traffic, closing sales is just a matter of putting it all together with the right companies that have the right products.
What that means is that I can transform the business of anyone willing to embrace this dimension and have their minds leave the confines of a brick-and-mortar-only business.
Show me any business on Main Street that is able to take advantage of the Internet and I’ll show you a business I can double, triple or quadruple the size of in just 18 months. If I fail….it will take 36 months. But even in failure that business will double in volume and even more in raw profit earnings.
Want to know why I can be so confident to state that?

By now, you are probably wondering how all this can be, but surely you must realize that you’ve just stumbled on an opportunity of a lifetime to grow your business with a unique marketing partnership with our digital media marketing company that can flood your business with new, eager-to-buy prospects each and every month for the life of your business…To define ‘unique’: if you get this almost unfair advantage in your industry, your competitors cannot…and vice versa).
Listen to this simple little Business 101 quiz, and you’ll get a peek into what we can do for our joint venture partners and those companies that lease our domains.
If you and your competitor both owned restaurants in the same city and hosted a competition to see who was more successful, your competitor can have every advantage they want: The most highly trained wait-staff, the biggest wine cellar, the most mouth-watering steak, luxurious decor and amazing reviews from local news.
All you’d need to make more money every day of the week is this ONE advantage: a starving crowd waiting outside ready to buy and eat ANY food you put in front of them immediately.
That’s the advantage keyword-rich domains and type-in website traffic provide to your business: a unique and affordable way to profit ‘feeding’ your products and services to a ‘starving crowd’ of your customers already looking for someone to give their money to right now, every single day.
A great domain name allows you to ‘suck’ and still stay in business.
Think of it in terms similar to the pizza parlor on the boardwalk by the ocean in a tourist-rich location.
Each day a new group of tourists come to enjoy the boardwalk and the ocean, some by themselves enjoying a few hours of local culture and seeing the sights before or after the business that brought them to the city, others having come specifically to enjoy themselves on vacation. You’ve got some single travelers, some couples, and some families. And somewhere around lunch time, and again in the evening for dinner, these visitors get HUNGRY.
So what happens is that each day the pizza parlor right there on the boardwalk by the ocean serves up their pizza to these hungry visitors.
The pizza they serve is hot and filling but not really the best pizza around, not served with a smile or good service, and definitely not the best deal.
In fact . . . the pizza sucks, the staff is surly, and the prices are higher than these folks are used to paying for pizza. But that pizza parlor on the boardwalk is always busy with visitors even if their pizza isn’t the best, because nobody knows it sucks, going somewhere else is inconvenient and the restaurant location is RIGHT THERE when they get hungry.
The pizza parlor’s customers are out-of-town tourists who could never hear by ‘word of mouth’ that they should stay away from there, and after eating there once they’re not likely ever coming back…but the pizza parlor owner doesn’t care.
That pizza parlor owner knows the only reason his starving crowd of customers eat there for lunch and dinner every single day in the first place is because his restaurant has a perfect LOCATION right on the boardwalk by the ocean where everyone is already coming!
Hear that before?
So if that pizza parlor with poor food and bad service will always make money because of its superior location and the number of visitors the restaurant gets each day simply because of that . . .
What if, on the other hand, instead of an inferior and over-priced meal, this pizza parlor served up a good product — fresh, hot, delicious and affordably-priced pizza, delivered by attentive wait-staff in a charming environment?
Then that business would not only tap into the ‘starving crowd’ of location-based customers among the tourists daily coming by the boardwalk after a day enjoying the ocean, but the pizza place would become a destination popular with regular customers who could come back again and again, in addition to referring their friends.
What might happen then? Well, imagine that pizza parlor owner then being able to grow his business and expand to open new locations.
So while the pizza parlor in a great location but with a ‘product that sucks’ will always make great money, the business owner will never be able to do what the passionate entrepreneur with great pizza who cares about serving the customer does given the same advantage of that superior location.
Follow me here…because this is VERY important and relevant to our discussion today…and the opportunity you have in front of you. Here it is: when you marry a great domain location like ours with your quality products, great marketing plan, sound ideas, and a desire to serve the customer, you have created lightning in a bottle.
One company among your peers will be able to affordably lease our domain name location in your niche, or be chosen as our no-cost, no-risk sales and fulfillment joint venture partner to take over and use OUR superior location (domain name) and immediately begin making money monetizing our targeted traffic of “hungry” visitors!
I realize that "immediately" seems like hype…but in the world of type-in traffic and keyword-rich domains (don’t worry, as promised I’ll define and elaborate these terms as we go along) such as those owned by our company and operated by our domain lessees and joint venture partners…
IMMEDIATE sales and business growth can truly be the case quite easily, when all we have to do is CLICK A BUTTON in our domain registry account to start sending internet traffic your way once we reach an agreement.
The highly targeted people that are guaranteed to be interested in your product are right there for the taking.
Not freebie seekers, not people that are hit and miss; they are the ones who are interested. They're spenders without any pre-existing ‘brand name’ preference. They've bought before, and they'll buy again.
That’s the big difference between type-in traffic and almost any other form of conventional marketing or customer acquisition method.
The people visiting our domain portfolio of generic keyword destination websites are people that are going to see something they like and pull out their wallets to buy right away IF it matches exactly what they are already looking for!
If you understand the true power of this highly targeted, almost untouchable traffic source and the importance of being able to quickly and effectively get access to them in a give and take situation, then….with this knowledge alone, you're light years ahead of those people out there struggling in today’s business climate.
The bottom line is that…if you have a ‘going business’ that already generates sales from a proven customer acquisition model, or a great idea for a new business and just need more customers . . . then:
Or instead of pursuing the joint venture option…would you instead have the confidence to pay our company an affordable monthly “domain leasing” fee for the exclusive opportunity to build your company’s online presence on our superior online location…and KEEP all the profits yourself?
Have you ever thought, ‘I’m just one strategic alliance away from success, but I don’t know where to find it?’
Many of our successful partners can tell you … the domain leasing and domain partnership options available with our company Targeted Traffic create an easy decision (as you’ll come to agree as you review this offer letter and exclusive opportunity in full). Because every deal is unique, I’ll detail a couple possible partnership or domain leasing scenarios for structuring our arrangement as you read along.
But remember … here’s the bad news: There is a very NARROW opportunity of time for YOUR company to win this unique website partnership with us before one of your competitors applies and is chosen FIRST!
Once, all business sales had to come from a local market. Today that market is any and every place on the globe. The realization of this new global commerce has been slow in being adopted by mainstream business. And, the power of the internet that has yet to be fully tapped will unleash a wave of change that will last for generations. All business is local, and all business is global!
If you don't think we are in historical times, in which this unique opportunity can be the catalyst to help your company thrive — even while your competitors bite the dust — as we approach a HUGE tipping point in the world of online sales versus a past of only brick-and-mortar business . . . then don't read any further. At this point there will be nothing I can say to convince you, and your business is already toast.
Otherwise . . .
NOTE: The “domain leasing” deal scenario is the only real exception to the “no cost, no risk” verbiage you’ve seen throughout this offer letter. If you are selected for the domain name sales and fulfillment partnership joint venture, there is no cost and no risk to become a member of the eRealEstate Family of Sites and use your chosen domain name because we will benefit when your company makes money in a pay-for-performance fashion. If instead you choose to lease one of our domain names because you are confident in your company’s success using this asset and do not want to share profits, OR if you apply as a joint venture partner and are not accepted, then there will be an affordable monthly fee to use one of our domain names and you keep the profits. Domainnames listed on JointVentures.com with a MONTHLY LEASE PRICE are in MOST cases available ONLY for leasing or leasing with option to buy and not partnership joint ventures...but it never hurts to ask via a full partnership application.

If you've been a business owner or marketing executive responsible for driving revenue and sales for a few years, you likely know that your company is without doubt being affected by the current volatile market in these turbulent times.
And if you’re at the helm of a start-up or trying to develop an inkling of an idea into a cash-producing business, whoa boy it’s an exciting but scary time to be on the launch pad, isn’t it?
I don't have to tell you that the economy has changed:
Mortgage crisis. Tens of millions unemployed. Property holding costs increasing.
Credit markets tight. Sub-prime meltdown. Volatile dollar currency. Jobs being outsourced. Banks collapsing. Housing crash. Skyrocketing fuel prices.
Higher education criticized. Wall Street faltering.
I'm not yet telling you anything new.
Unless you’re completely clueless about the world we’re all living in today, in your own little world and paying no attention whatsoever to current events, you can hear about any number of economic "crises" all around you.
To make it worse…when it comes to communicating your company’s marketing message to potential customers,I don't need to tell you that getting heard or seen by consumers as a business in today’s busy, hectic, keyed-up, complicated world is getting more difficult—and more expensive.
Business 101: “Nothing Happens Until a Sale is Made”
You’ve followed me so far because you believe in your business ideas, believe you have quality products and services, and know you have a need for more customers, right?
You know that your products and services can become great sellers because the feedback you’ve been getting from customers so far has been very positive.
But there’s that nagging problem…you can’t seem to market your business and website on the internet as well as you would like, and your plan to ‘scale up’ to get more sales, more profits and a bigger market share seems to be just a pipe dream without a big change.
A website with no traffic is ineffective to your business. It is useless until you add traffic -- the hottest business commodity on the planet today!
If you don't have a high-profile, memorable, easy to spell and communicate web address that receives great traffic…you will find it more and more difficult to compete on and off the Internet as the 21st century progresses.
And yet, so many business owners tell me the same old story of struggle trying to get traffic to their websites . . .
You spend hours upon hours trying the next big marketing method.
Maybe you’ve invested thousands of dollars on pay-per-click (PPC) advertising and gotten some results only to see your cost per customer acquisition continue creeping up and up until only break-even on the front-end, scrambling to create a more robust back-end of your business so that front-end sales can liquidate advertising costs spent on this costly marketing method. Maybe you’ve gotten no results at all, struggling to figure out what you’ve heard was simple and turns out to be a full-time job to manage.
Maybe you get flyer coupons printed up to mail to local houses looking to entice new customers to do business with you the first time, but even when it works, you fail to follow-up effectively enough to turn one-time buyers into lifetime-customers— causing your direct mail coupons campaign to basically only “break even” with new sales created.
Maybe you run radio spots hoping to make a spark, only to find that advertising on the radio is tricky and the most important element in addition to having an offer people actually want, is a call-to-action that includes a MEMORABLE communication method in your ad. For the same reason vanity 800 toll-free phone numbers are better in this area than normal telephone numbers, memorable keyword-rich domain names out-perform any other website address when used in this medium (all other things being equal).
Maybe you participate in “Deal of the day” discount programs like Groupon only to find that long-term customer loyalty buying at regular prices is DAMNED HARD to gain when your first purchase from a customer is deeply discounted.
Maybe you put up big money to professionally create and produce television ads, only then to still have to pay bigger bucks to run them, risking your next month’s cashflow (or worse, next quarter’s payroll) if it doesn’t work.
Maybe you spin the social media roulette wheel and try your hand creating “viral content” videos and blog posts only to find your results coming up DOUBLE ZERO. You realize yeah, customers may buy products in your industry but are bored to tears with watching a video about your stuff, or what you do just doesn’t lend itself well to interesting things to write about it.
Maybe you read an article in Entrepreneur magazine about the power of the press and the basics of how to get publicity for your business, and figure you’ll give it a try. You do a little research on journalists, put together some interesting press releases about your products and things that are unique about your company, and then send out electronic copies to hundreds of media outlets. You don’t receive even one response, as your releases are never read and get deleted like so much e-toilet paper.
Maybe you get a sales call on the phone from a silver-tongued telemarketer who tells you how the ‘big boys’ all advertise on billboards and sells you an advertising package that inflates your ego…until it deflates your bank account when those billboard ‘impressions’ don’t translate into prospect phone calls, website visitors, or sales.
Maybe you try selling retail with a few excited wholesalers promising the moon only to find that each competes with the other discounting prices so far until your margins get sacrificed so much you threaten the very solvency of your company to sell wholesale at the prices they’re demanding. In today’s competitive and transparent marketplace, where consumers can compare prices in an INSTANT, the small business has a HUGE competitive disadvantage attempting this strategy without proper planning.
You may not have tried ALL of those marketing methods, and some you’ve tried from those listed may be working at least okay…but you’ve got to realize that when it comes to growing your business, NOTHING HAPPENS UNTIL A SALE IS MADE!
If you’re anything like the business owners and marketing executives I’ve spoken to over the years, the point is this . . .
You spend exhausting hours working on developing marketing methods through trial and error, ROBBING that time you could be spending on better selling and servicing the customers you’re already getting and turning them into raving fans, repeat customers and referral evangelists . . .
And you’re certain that without significant, easy-to-find, and CONSISTENT sources of prospects for you to sell your products and services to, you’ll never see your business getting the traction necessary to really scale up your business to its biggest potential.
I know these things because I hear all the time that finding traffic and ways to market effectively is the biggest roadblock that most business owners will ever face to building the business they know they’re capable of leading.
HOWEVER, I do have good news for you. The point here is to show the dire situation we are in, on one hand, and finding the silver lining on the other.
It’s true. I’ve said any number of times that in challenging times therein lies the greatest opportunities to PROFIT!
If you are reading this, I am telling you that times have NEVER BEEN BETTER to do business. To make a business grow. To share ideas and take risk.
This is a time to steam roll the competition. To put other folks in your niche and local area out of business. To BUY their business. But for those that are trapped in a bunker mentality, they will surely pay a price IF they survive. Folks it does not get better than this. However, to profit in times of crisis you MUST learn to see what most cannot:
- talented labor is out of work and can be snapped up for cheap with a scarcity of jobs and a plethora of job seekers (because of unemployment and overseas outsourcing) such as hasn’t been seen in decades
- lending is slow so cash is king and discounts can be negotiated on everything your business needs
- companies can position themselves for future expansion by acquiring real estate for warehouses, offices and more at dimes on the dollar compared to what they’d pay if “times were good”
- the opportunity to seize market share expands every day when other companies go out of business
- suppliers are more open to working out easy terms (because the credit markets are tight)
- competitors can get stuck in a maintenance cycle, afraid to innovate
- startup businesses can go from idea to launch faster (because there’s unused equipment, product supply, and employee labor just lying around waiting to be put to efficient use)
- And on and on, the advantages to seizing opportunity in “down times” is significant in many ways!
cr
Did you know that the Chinese character for "crisis" is made up of two others: "danger" and "opportunity"?
Can you SEE the “opportunity”
amid the “danger” today?
While some companies are willing to reinvest capital and resources into infrastructure, staffing, real estate, product development, management, and many other areas crucial to the health and success of a business, in “tough times” MANY STUPID COMPANIES cut their marketing budget!
How does that make any sense?
Marketing fuels sales, and sales create PROFITS!
Do you have a truly great product (or service), yet simply don’t have enough money, time or “contacts” to get it in front of the right buyers?
Here’s my #1 advice: You the business owner and/or marketing executive MUST take an active role in learning about how internet marketing works and implementing best practices in terms of what fuels sales and PROFITS if you want your company to make a serious go of transitioning from ‘bricks to clicks’, from the 20th century of business to the 21st century of business.
In ONE SINGLE STROKE, you can quit trying to go “every which way” and solve your customer acquisition struggles almost overnight by being selected for this no cost and no risk website joint venture— or else deciding to pay our company an affordable monthly fee to lease one of our premium domain names matching what your customers want in the “.com” name generic version of an internet address, making this superior location and branding asset the new home of your company’s enhanced online presence …
NOW push the throttle of your business into high-gear leveraging OUR consistent, day-in-and-day-out, month-in-and-month-out prospect traffic ready and waiting to become YOUR customers.
You probably already know that a “joint venture” is simply a partnership between two or more companies, or people, that takes advantage of the resources already available from each partner—such as time, money, energy, labor, customer database, connections, products and services, or TRAFFIC-- to create an instant win/win situation – and in most cases,a lot of money fast ‘almost out of thin air’…
In this fast-evolving world, Joint Ventures give us the opportunity to move at warp speed to take advantage of new products, services and developments, without the need for a big learning curve, investment or personal risk.
In my experience, a marketing joint venture is quite literally the most powerful and effective form of marketing, positioning and client acquisition on earth-- with the only possible exception being type-in internet traffic naturally received by the very best keyword domain names. And when you combine the two: a marketing website joint venture giving you access to keyword domain names that generate type-in internet traffic…that is amazing!
And it only takes ONE successful marketing joint-venture to kick your business (and your income) into overdrive, generating a TIDAL WAVE of sales– which can create a lifestyle of freedom for you that most can only dream about…
So, right now, as a business owner or marketing executive looking for lucrative new channels to promote your products and services — where do you find business growth opportunities that can catapult your company income through the roof?
Perhaps RIGHT HERE, right now…
To bring us back full circle to why you’re here with me reading this letter now, here’s the ‘kicker’ relevant to our discussion today…
When it comes to domain names, only a few companies (big or small) in any industry seem to really understand how powerful it can be to harness the “starving crowd” in their marketplace by exploiting the use of relevant and valuable keyword-rich domains available for any certain business category.
This can be attributed a few reasons in my experience:
1.) There was a limited opportunity initially to acquire the very best of these internet real estate assets, an opportunity our parents and grandparents did NOT have. Many of us dreamers have secret desires to “go for the gold”. While 6 billion people had their chance to get in on the “domain name gold rush” a decade or more ago, just a few hundred people on the planet really grabbed a pick and shovel to mine that gold. Today, when you joint venture with our company, you don't have to risk your life or your financial future in Alaska to strike it rich doing business online. The gold is all around you with the internet, and we’ve got some tools you can use to mine it well.
2.) No one was sure that the “Internet” would catch on and take off in the mainstream. Believing that the online arena was a “fad”, by the time it was indisputably the future of business in the 21st century and beyond, risk-taking entrepreneurs like me had already “staked our claim” on the most valuable internet real estate properties in the last years of the 20th century for the most part.
3.) Business owners don’t yet know how BIG the impact of keyword-rich domains can be (although more and more the word is getting out), so many keyword-rich domains are UNDER-EXPLOITED because they are owned not by ‘end-user-businesses’ actually doing business and selling products and services in the industry category for which they own and operate these premium websites, but are more often owned by domain investment companies like ours. And these domain investment companies simply cannot afford the time and capital infrastructure investments necessary to fully “mine the gold” of every gold mine they own on the internet frontier (which is GREAT news for you!).
4.) Business owners don’t know how to get their hands on the best domain names for their niche — e.g. who from and how to lease the domain name they want, or that it’s even possible to do that or to joint venture with the domain owner to get access to the traffic even if they can no longer buy the domain name itself, which is often impossible today for small end-user companies. Think about it. Have YOU ever read a letter like this detailing a unique opportunity for you to partner with a domain investment company willing to invest their assets in YOUR BUSINESS and give you access to its most profitable resource— targeted prospect traffic? I bet you haven’t because while “venture capitalists” are well known, our company may very well be the first term-inventing “Clicks Capitalist”.
NOTE: “Clicks Capitalist”? Yes, it’s true. If we determine that you have a good "Sales Mousetrap", we will consider sending you traffic. We can send thousands of daily targeted click-throughs of real website visitors and help to get your website going in high gear in exchange for stock in your company and/or other performance considerations to participate in your revenue growth in a joint venture that has no cost and no risks for you. On the other hand, we can also lease you the domain name of ours that you want to use as you wish, for an affordable monthly fee with no profit share necessary.
5.) The business is operated by employee managers and not entrepreneurial profit creators, and so no one takes a serious look at the risk-reward ROI of this strategy. In many bigger companies, the decisions are far removed from the people who carry out the instructions, and that disconnect gives big businesses a weakness in competing with smaller, more nimble entrepreneurial companies…
and those companies are run by the guy or gal with whom the bucks stops, many of whom in the early 2000s even were the small businesses investing in keyword-rich domain names for their company that luckily no bigger companies in their niche industry grabbed before they could. Just WATCH as many of these smart smaller companies continue progressively to dominate and gain market share in the 21st century.
6.) Business owners are clueless to the logistics of selling their company and products through the medium of websites and online marketing— and so put these things in the hands of ‘techies’ instead of ‘marketers’.
There is a simple explanation for much of this, I think— and for the failure of many small businesses that first attempt to market their business on the internet. The business owner too often relies upon the technical “geek” staffers who understand I.T. but don’t have a clue about marketing. The technician is, with all due respect, not capable of making decisions about what results in sales. A website developer does not think the same way you do as a marketing-oriented and sales-driven professional or entrepreneur— and likely never will.
7.) Business owners have been ‘seduced’ by the millions of self-professed “search engine optimization gurus” out there, promising to get their clients “free traffic” and “page 1 rankings” on search engines. Have you ever stopped to think how difficult that accomplishment is in many niches where you’re competing not just with dozens or hundreds but thousands or MILLIONS of other websites and businesses, all hoping to get in the “top 10” listings on Google’s search results? Not everyone can win, and that makes the ridiculous promotional promises of those so-called ‘SEO gurus’ marking them in stark black and white not as experts but HUSTLERS in my opinion. And even when you DO get great rankings on search engines for the most relevant keyword phrases for your business, do you REALLY WANT the future prosperity of your business— not to mention your family’s livelihood— to be DEPENDENT on the whims of the search engines who are constantly monkeying with their algorithms determining who gets that organic traffic and who gets left out in the cold?
These are some of the very reasons that a company like ours came to hold one of the most profitable domain name portfolios in the entire world…and it also explains how this opportunity came to be for ONE company in your industry to monetize the traffic WE receive among customers seeking products and services produced and sold by companies like YOURS.
Because we own the keyword-rich domains for your business category, we OWN an ASSET on our ledger that produces income by gaining new customers with an ROI over time, a curious and powerful ‘negative-cash-flow-not possible’ phenomenon that the EXPENSES of an advertising budget that has to be paid every month simply cannot match. Now you too can experience this amazing phenomenon in your business.
There are 2 ingredients needed to make a sale online. When you put these 2 ingredients together...it makes a spark.
And when you’re the first (or even better, ONLY) business found online by “hungry” prospects in your business category looking to BUY NOW…which can happen with generic keyword-rich domains that receive type-in traffic…and you have the products and services for sale those prospects are looking for . . .
And THIS is a competitive advantage we’re ready and willing to share with one company in your market, starting today as the newest member in the eRealEstate Family of Sites, if you are ready to lease one of our domains for an affordable monthly fee, or else apply, qualify and are chosen our no cost and no risk joint venture sales and fulfillment partner where we take a small percentage in your company’s upside potential.
If you’ve read, heard and seen enough— go ahead and apply now for the risk-free and no-cost joint venture, or inquire about details and monthly costs for domain leasing of the internet property you desire.
For those of you who want an even clearer and more complete understanding of what these opportunities entail, I’m going to continue pulling aside the curtain to reveal more of what has left me sleepless with excitement any number of nights in the last 17 years . . .
Read further only with risk of severe excitement-induced insomnia tonight.
NOTE: The “domain leasing” deal scenario is the only real exception to the “no cost, no risk” verbiage you’ve seen throughout this offer letter. If you are selected for the domain name sales and fulfillment partnership joint venture, there is no cost and no risk to become a member of the eRealEstate Family of Sites and use your chosen domain name because we will benefit when your company makes money in a pay-for-performance fashion. If instead you choose to lease one of our domain names because you are confident in your company’s success using this asset and do not want to share profits, OR if you apply as a joint venture partner and are not accepted, then there will be an affordable monthly fee to use one of our domain names and you keep the profits. Domainnames listed on JointVentures.com with a MONTHLY LEASE PRICE are in MOST cases available ONLY for leasing or leasing with option to buy and not partnership joint ventures...but it never hurts to ask via a full partnership application.

If you’ve read this far with me, you now know who Rick Schwartz is and in a general sense what our company Targeted Traffic does. You're starting to get an idea of how our eRealEstate Family of Partner Sites and Companies fits into the picture with the options both for affordable domain leasing, and joint venture partnerships, as well as starting to see the magnitude of the opportunity in front of you right now.
It's been a process of almost 2 decades getting here, and during that time I've been communicating the value proposition of domain names, their value, and how the internet would evolve both to people who invest in domain names for a living (mostly to re-sell), a group called "domainers"...as well as talking to "Main Street" small business owners and the leaders of corporate America with their bigger businesses, pointing out the significant business benefits of type-in traffic and keyword domain names so they could see for themselves what I saw years ahead of the curve.
In communicating to these groups over the years, I've used a number of platforms from forums to chatboards, in person and phone conferences, as well as through a habit of blogging extensively for many years.
In fact, I've probably written a book or two of length in blogging/article posts alone over the last decade-- dating back to before there was really even a word for "blog".
And on the one hand, my Targeted Traffic domain conference has become the pre-eminent conference of its kind in the world, attracting the most successful and ambitious domainers every year all together in one place at one time for education, networking, and domain auctions. That part of our business, and leadership in the industry will continue...but now is the time for the "end-user" company to come in and take advantage of what we've already learned.
By "end user", I mean putting a domain name property like CubicZirconia.com not in the hands of an internet marketing company like mine but arranging for it to be used by a company MUCH better positioned to exploit its advantages for profits-- i.e. a company ALREADY in the CZ jewelry space with existing products, market knowledge, sales processes, infrastructure, legal compliance and so forth. The company might already be big, or it could be small and growth-oriented...but either way, already able to supply the demand of visitors to that generic website address without any help from me.
To that end, I've realized that alot of what I write about on my blog is more pertinent to the domainer group than to the "end user" 2 groups I'm reaching with this offer letter:
That's why here in this letter I'm speaking ONLY to you the "end user", and helping to educate the next group of companies and individuals looking to do business with our company through a joint venture domain partnership agreement or domain leasing deal. To that end, I've brought over much of those blog post nuggets of wisdom pertaining to your goals and how we can help you reach them, but without all the extraneous chatter about things that don't interest you or are irrelevant to taking one business and putting it on the map in a big way using the most premium ".com" domain name you can possibly get your hands on to use as the online home for your business.
Now, let’s dive deep into the nitty-gritty details and fully immerse you into OUR WORLD, okay?
(Trust me, the lessons you learn here will absolutely be worth learning! But make sure you keep one eye on the sky while you’re reading…because the forecast says very soon you may witness it RAINING CUSTOMERS)
In case you’re entirely new to the concept of “internet real estate”, let me give you a brief primer on the two most powerful related concepts: “keyword-rich domain names” and the phenomenon we call “type-in traffic”.
‘Internet real estate’ has become a popular phrase to include the online 'property' of domain names and websites. Like physical real estate, which includes vacant land and the improvements that can be built upon it such as houses and buildings, internet real estate has domain names (vacant land) and websites/businesses (building improvements).
Like in the real world of physical real estate here on planet Earth, there is only a finite amount of prime 'land' on the internet; each domain name property is unique and while technically there’s an infinite number of domain name variations, the total selection of valuable internet properties is limited. We’ll talk more about why this is later.
Building improvements upon the online 'land' is also similar. You could put a small “domain parking” webpage of “click advertisements” on your domain name with very little effort and earn easy money with the right keyword-rich domain name that receives some traffic, just like a parking lot on the physical property equivalent can turn a flat paved surface in a popular location into an easily created and maintained income stream allowing people to park their vehicles for a fee. And whenever visitors came to your website and “clicked” those 3rd party advertising links, you’d make a little money in advertising revenue.
As mentioned previously, our company has made many millions of dollars doing just this during ‘Phase 1’ of our long-term business strategy.
But in the real world of physical real estate, a parking lot isn’t necessarily the “highest and best use” for a prime piece of land, is it? Instead, an "end user" is in a position to increase the property’s income potential by building a shopping mall, skyscraper, office park, apartment complex, or even just a humble little country store.
With that same piece of internet property where you currently have the digital equivalent of a parking lot, you could build a massive online store with hundreds of web pages— akin to building large department store or mall in the world of physical real estate— or simply move an existing online business with great products and services but the potential for more customers and profits to this better, higher-traffic location.
This is exactly what our end-user domain lessees and joint venture domain partners are in a better position to do than we are…which of course causes hundreds every month to contact us about wanting to BUY one of our domain names, which we’re just not interested in selling. However, we CAN build something great together.
In either case, physical real estate or its digital equivalent among internet domain name properties, developing the land with physical buildings and infrastructure costs time and money—so only prime land warrants a large investment.
Keyword-rich domains are the prime land of internet real estate—the very asset my company has been investing heavily in buying since 1995, long before many but a handful of people in the entire world realized how very VALUABLE these internet real estate locations would (or could) become.
Keyword-rich domains feature one or more generic words that match exactly what your starving crowd of potential customers are looking for every day online already.
This most valuable group of domains have the premium “.com” URL version of exact same words that mirror your business type, products and services—namely, the same words your prospects are typing into the internet and search engines looking for a product, service, or business just like yours.
Depending on how much you’ve researched the infrastructure of the internet and domain name ‘extensions’, some of what I’m about to share with you will be shocking.
Numbers have always been my road map, and I follow them to their conclusion.
Numbers cut through all the motives, agendas, unfounded hopes and bullshit.
Domain names can have a number of different extensions; an ‘extension’ being the characters to the RIGHT of the “dot” in an internet domain name website address.
Here are some common domain name extensions, ones that you’ve seen and others you’ve probably never heard of since they are not widely used and just have never really caught on with the public.
“domain.com”
“domain.net”
“domain.gov”
“domain.edu”
“domain.biz”
“domain.info”
“domain.org”
“domain.co”
“domain.mobi”
“domain.xxx”
“domain.tv”
“domain.me”
“domain.travel”
“domain.jobs”
“domain.tel”
“domain.pro”
“domain.asia”
Regardless of the fallout or who is involved, I have tested and publicly reported my findings as a domain name investor by blogging since 1996. I have invested in many domain extensions over the years and my testing has revealed some truths many people find hard to swallow. I’ve even made mistakes that cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars, and had the integrity to admit my mistakes and share my findings with others so they don’t do the same thing.
First of all, let me be clear that anything can be sold. Any domain name extension has an aftermarket and value to people who invest in domain names for resale to someone else. Even manure has value. And you always have the “Greater Fool” theory where a buyer can be duped to spend more money for something than it’s worth by a seller with an agenda. In the coming years, you’ll see a TON of this happening with the release of literally HUNDREDS of new domain extensions (more on this in a minute).
But in my opinion, and the facts bear me out, all non-“.com” domain name extensions have VERY much reduced value to their “.com” counterpart.
For example, consider how from an investment and usage standpoint both, GoTopless.com is more valuable for instance than GoTopless.net or GoTopless.org, or any other “GoTopless” domain name with an alternative extension. Same goes for Property.com being superior by a far margin to Property.net or Property.org, or any other “Property” derivative domain name extension.
Right now, you may see these couple sentences in this paragraph as ‘opinion’.
I will show you as you read on that they are in fact, FACTS.
Of the numerous extensions currently available – and of the many more that will soon be in use around the world— “.com” is typically the most valuable and widely used.
→ Let’s discuss the various reasons for WHY that is, one by one.
The consumer has chosen “.com” as the superior domain name extension, and that choice is firm.
Alexa.com is a data publisher compiling information about the traffic and consumer reach of the top websites in the world. To be in the top 200 ranked “most trafficked” websites in the entire world on Alexa is a VERY BIG DEAL.
How many of those websites around the world are/have “.com” addresses?
Despite there being literally HUNDREDS of domain name extensions— and many more on the way— a full 132 of 200 of the most trafficked websites in the world have a “.com” domain name extension (66% as a total) as of this publishing.
But wait a minute! I’ll show you that it’s actually skewed MUCH MORE heavily towards “.com” dominance when you consider a few factors.
How many are “.org”, the alternative non-commercial top-level extension typically associated with non-profit organizations? FIVE…and you’ve likely heard of all of them: Wordpress, Craigslist, Mozilla, Wikimedia, Wikipedia. Type in the “.com” version of any one of these websites, and you’ll see they own that too, and “forward” that domain name so visitors who type it in with the “.com” extension come to the same place as the “.org” extension website anyway— so using the “.org” is a preference they can afford.
How many of the top websites in the world are “.net”, which the companies that have an agenda in SELLING domains to you call the ‘next leading top-level domain extension’? FOUR. And you guessed it… all four of those organizations also own and use the “.com” version of their domain name, making their use of the “.net” extension in their branding a preference and nothing more.
Let me walk you through some of the reasons for this being the case.
Reason #1: You cannot easily regulate consumer behavior (human nature)!
What do I mean by that?
Because all of these hundreds of ‘alternative’ domain name extensions were created too late to affect consumer behavior, they are in all actuality inferior to the same “.com” counterpart.
Reason #2: The majority of everyday consumers don’t have a CLUE that non-“.com” name domain extensions like “.tv”, “.net”, “.biz”, “.info” or “.WHATEVER” as I call them…even EXIST!
Reason #3: MASSIVE branding dollars have gone into burning “.com” into the minds of the masses.
As a conclusion, I present you with . . .
Average people see “dot com” as synonymous with the “Internet” in their mind, and that mind share is not likely to change in our lifetimes.
“.com” has become the international ‘standard’ in domain name extensions worldwide for business applications.
What about internationally, outside of the United States? Many people worldwide think we here in the United States seem to believe we’re the center of the world and resent it.
What about with respect to the Internet? Aren’t there differences on how people use the internet from country to country?
Yes and no.
Many average folks aren’t even aware that there are “country code extensions” for domain names on the Internet, and each country has its own. There’s “.de” in Germany, “.cn” in China, “.au” in Australia, “.co” in Columbia and so on.
Even the supposed ‘country code’ domain name extension for the United States— which is “.us” – is not often used (and the average American on the street has no idea it even exists).
Remember those 132 of 200 (66%) of the top 200 most-trafficked websites in the world according to Alexa are “.com” domain extensions?
What ties them all together? One big factor is that they are all primarily websites in the English language (even when those same websites are translated into other languages for users around the world, their base language is English).
Of course, the United States having primacy of place in the beginning evolution of the Internet has a factor, but it’s more language-based than country-based.
And English is the language of finance and business, a reality that is not likely to change in our lifetimes.
There were a handful of “.org” (5) and “.net” (4) extension domain names listed among that top Alexa 200, but remember…all 9 of those companies and organizations use the alternative extension as a PREFERENCE, and happen to ALSO own and use the “.com” counter-part to protect their branding and online presence.
If we remove the TWENTY-SEVEN “country code” international mirror versions of Google.com (like Google.co.in for Google in India, Google.co.uk for Google in Britain, and Google.com.it for Google in Italy, and so forth), the numbers in the top 200 most trafficked websites in the world are even MORE skewed towards “.com” dominance.
Not to mention another DOZEN or so country-code extensions for major U.S.-based companies that primarily operate using Amazon.com, Ebay.com, and Yahoo.com (all of which obviously use and started with “.com” alone, as that remains integral to their brand— even while these multi-national companies expanded internationally to service users in other countries and communicated with them in different languages).
So now how does that Alexa.com top 200 world ranking list look when you subtract away the 9 alternative extensions that also own the “.com”, and the 39 country code versions of Google.com, Amazon.com, Ebay.com and Yahoo.com?
You’re left with the same number that I get!
180 of 200 (90%)
180 of 200 top most trafficked websites in the world according to Alexa use and operate the “.com” extension version of their domain name.
Again, we’re back to consumer choice driving this phenomenon.
The consumer masses didn’t make “.com” names dominant consciously but through EXPECTATION…over time they have come to EXPECT credible companies to have the “.com” domain name extension for their business’s website address, and so that behavior has driven businesses not just in the United States but worldwide to operate their online business from that domain name extension platform—or risk losing money!
These consumer expectations happened many years before the ‘johnny come lately’ internet address ‘country code’ extensions for different countries came to be used, and just like the regular ‘alternative’ domain name extensions mentioned like “.net”, “.biz”, “.info” and so on, the country code domain extensions— even the one for the United States, “.us”— are all proven inferior in the mind and choice of the consumer, far less impactful than the now international standard “.com”.
NOTE for international (non-U.S. and English-language based businesses): country code domain name extensions are fine if you are targeting ONLY the local market within that country. They DO work, depending on where you are, and they are “catching on” much better than alternative domain extensions like “.biz”.
But even if an international company has a country code domain extension like a company in China that has Property.CN, it could never hurt them to have the “.com” version of Property.com IF they want to play on the world stage.
This means that smart companies with global ambitions are increasingly wanting to acquire and use website domain names in different languages and with country code extensions…but the smartest marketers around the world make sure they’ve FIRST secured the ONE domain name that matters most, the “.com”.
TRILLIONS and TRILLIONS of branding dollars from countless companies have gone into burning “.com” into the minds of the masses worldwide.Plus, as you likely don't even know, there is a set of literally HUNDREDS of domain name extensions that are called “country codes”, set aside for use by individuals and organizations in certain host countries regionally. These “country code” domain names are a special case I’ll talk more about as we discuss “international” domain names.
There’s a problem on the way to the wedding of new domain extensions and the reality of creating a profit-making business. Branding costs a lot of money. Branding a new domain name extension is MUCH harder than branding your product or company. It is a monumental undertaking.
The biggest brand in the world known by almost every man woman and child on the planet is NOT Wal-mart, Nike or Coca Cola. It’s DOT COM!
Did you know more money is being spent on the advertising of “.com” than any other word, phrase, product or brand in the entire history of mankind?
.COM as a brand has TRILLIONS of dollars invested in usage, Advertising, Marketing, and Branding via TV, Radio, Billboards, Signs, Magazines, Newspapers, the Net, PR, Movies, Music, and on and on.
Not only that, but the beauty of it is that every second of every day, “dot com” is being advertised via every media all over the world for FREE as well.
If you look to recent history and the evolution of the Internet as a central player in our lives, television was a huge influence on how the world wide web developed.
This is my opinion and my memory, but I think it could be argued that international TV news network CNN branded "Dotcom" earlier and more powerfully than any other medium online or offline. As I can remember, they were the first mass media institution to really ‘get’ the internet. All day, all night, 24x7 news when the internet was just a baby and domain extensions meant nothing to 99% of folks— CNN was talking about “.com” this and “.com” that. Is there any surprise that this multinational media conglomerate invested $750,000 to a acquire the “.com” domain name they absolutely had to have? (from my company in fact…more on that story in a bit).
And that trend has accelerated over the last 20 years significantly.
Every non-“.com” domain name extension will ‘LEAK TRAFFIC’ to the “.com” domain name counterpart.
Did you know that because to the common man and woman on the street, the Internet is synonymous with “.com”, studies have shown that a business that operates and advertises a “.net”, “.co”, “.us”, “.biz” or any other alternative domain name extension website, will “leak traffic” to the owner of the “.com” domain name that matches, who will capture some of the visitors trying to find the alternative-extension website through simple customer confusion?
It’s true.
If you try to run your online business using any website domain address EXCEPT “.com” you are going to LOSE MONEY! It doesn’t matter if you have “.net”, “.biz”, “.tv”, or whatever…many of your customers have NO IDEA what these extensions mean because “.com” has infinitely greater mind-share.
Let me give you a scenario that happens every second of every day to businesses that ignore this reality in the marketplace.
For example: the customer hears an ad on the radio for “Domain.NET” and by the time they get to their computer they are sure it must have been “Domain.COM”. When they go to type the domain name they heard for your company in their internet browser, they don’t type your company’s website address “Domain.NET”, as they are confused.
Instead, they type in “Domain.COM” because the “.com” extension for domain names is the standard they are familiar with seeing more.
No, it is worse than that…just like that in many instances, their advertising dollars went to enrich their COMPETITOR’s business!
What if your potential customer, acting on your advertisement, paid for by your marketing dollars attempting to get them to visit your website and make a purchase on “Domain.NET”, and they instead visit “Domain.COM”…what if when they go to the “.com” website address counterpart of your domain name, they find exactly what they are looking for?
Because when it comes to retail products online, many times no one cares WHO they buy it from— so when this customer finds what they wanted, they go ahead and BUY from your competitor who was smart enough to operate their business only using the standard “.com” domain extension. And if you hadn’t read here about this phenomenon, you’d probably never even know that “traffic leak” occurred and those lost sales would keep happening!
The SAME “traffic leak” to the “domain.com” counterpart happens when a domain name website address with ANY other ‘alternative extension’ is communicated and marketed not just on radio, but through billboards, television commercials, print ads, from word of mouth passing from person to person…and many other ways.
Don’t believe me?
Let me give you a concrete example and documented proof by a major company whose CEO and executive marketing team made a HUGE MISTAKE.
You’ve heard of Overstock.com, right? The giant online discount retailer for overstocked goods is a frequent television advertiser, even well remembered from some entertaining Super Bowl TV ads you may have seen.
NUMBERS!!! NUMBERS!!! NUMBERS!!!
They are all weak for commercial purposes because of the reasons previously mentioned…but perhaps the MOST DAMNING OF ALL is the traffic leakage to the “.com” domain name counterpart, which happens through pure human nature. Overstock.com and their CEO is just the first of many bigger companies that will spend MILLIONS making a COLLOSSAL MISTAKE that will continue to validate what I have insisted on for over a decade.
The grand experiment of O.co has crashed and burned to put it bluntly. After a huge advertising budget they found out the hard way that overpowering the entrenched branding in the mind of the consumer that “.com” = the internet is going to be no easy task.
So this is nothing new, and “.CO” with all its fanfare as an ‘alternative extension’ proved no better than the other domain extensions that tried to win market share from “.com”.
What is new is that a large mainstream company didn’t just sweep it under the rug, but actually articulated these facts for the world to see and hear, and a CEO of a known well-known international brand is saying flat-out that if his company continued with marketing “O.co” as their domain name it would spell financial ruin.
This is not a low-level employee; this is the chief executive of the company.
This powerful and INCONTROVERTIBLE knowledge is out there publicly now and I will hang my hat on that statement for years to come. You can't put this back in the box. You can't un-ring this bell.
Until that story was repeated throughout the business media world and even in mainstream cultural news, most folks did not know or maybe even did not believe that there is traffic leakage from ANY alternative domain name extension to the “.com” counterpart.
Did you know, for example, that there is a big movement going on in recent years about being "Topless" for women? So they have a website at GoTopless.ORG which I mentioned earlier. Would you like to know how much traffic the .ORG is LEAKING?? Right now to the tune of up to 2000 visitors a DAY at times, and a smaller consistent amount every single day (I know since I own GoTopless.COM from before they developed their organization, and I never spent a dime to advertise that website.
Now I like “.org” as a domain extension. I believe it is the #2 extension behind “.com” of course, and have stated that for about a decade now. Problem is when the average person tells others via word of mouth, or when an organization does marketing to the masses using “.org” as their domain name (without owning the “.com” as well), the confusion with dotcom is HUGE!
Now if you ran a business and you lost a many as 2000 customers in a single day having something other than .COM maybe an intelligent businessman would figure out it is costing them a lot of lost business. And if I were their competitor, I would be eating their lunch and owning THEIR customers. That leak can sink a ship. A person could make a living off a "Leak".
If you’re a non-profit maybe it doesn’t hurt you so bad…but it still hurts and it’s SO EASY not to make the mistake by just securing the “.com” of your chosen business or organization name before doing anything else— even if you have to change your naming plans to make it work.
This happens in more scenarios than you can count, not just this one example.
There is no question here, folks: a business online today MUST deal with this issue or they are FOOLS. Period.
How do you ignore that?
Whether it be “domain.us”, “domain.co,” “domain.net,” “domain.biz” or HUNDREDS and soon to be THOUSANDS of other extensions soon to come…each and every one is going to “leak” traffic to the owner of the same “domain.com”.
Never confuse the customer.
That's just one of the takeaways from the O.co disaster.
If you are going to mass market, you MUST own the “dotcom” version of your website domain name.
SIMPLE.
Here’s that direct quote again from Chief Executive Officer Patrick Byrne of Overstock.com:
One quote pretty much says it all!
Those that continue to close their eyes to these facts and attempt to operate a real business on the Internet using an ‘alternative extension’ domain name, will ALWAYS have a gaping hole in their advertising and marketing strategy that is a costly mistake if they don't have the ".com" counterpart. In the worst case scenario, they will be SLAVES to people they don't even know, sending “leaked traffic” to the owner of the “.com” version of their website domain name— with every dollar spent on their own marketing, enriching someone else.
Seriously…what SCHMUCK wants to argue the FACT now that using a “.co” or other ‘alternative extension’ domain name and losing more than 60% of your HARD WORK, advertising dollars, prospects, sales, new customers, etc.
is somehow worth doing?
Now, before someone gets all defensive and feels like the Domain King is not being fair in judgment…
I am NOT calling the guys at Overstock.com ‘idiots’.
Quite the contrary. They had the gumption to try something new and when it did not work, they had the wisdom to change course before the mistake was compounded for years. They even had the balls to announce the actual numbers of their failed experiment.
So the folks I am calling idiots is anyone that has that information and still ignores it or buries their head in the sand hoping they can make a go of it online using anything but “.com” as the platform for their business. That's an idiot by my definition— ignoring important information and not learning from other peoples mistakes.
With hundreds more domain name extensions coming out (I call them “.whatever”), consumer confusion will continue and more and more the masses will accept only the standard “.com” they are familiar with.Many non-“.com” alternative domain name extensions have been released in the past 20 years that have come on the scene with a flurry of fanfare, only to fizzle out without much impact at all (again, most people have no idea many of them even exist).
Seriously, have you ever heard of alternative domain name extensions like “.jobs” or “.travel”?
Yeah, very few people have ever seen a single website or company advertise using one of those domain name extensions, and they’ve been around for years.
We’ve already talked about the fizzle with “.co”, one of the newest kids on the block— an extension proven with real numbers to LEAK TRAFFIC to the tune of 61% of your visitors (potential customers) ending up somewhere else than your website.
And right now there are literally HUNDREDS more ‘alternative’ domain name extensions slated to potentially be made available for registry in the coming years (post 2013) by the ICANN governing body of domain name registration.
We’re talking about such new domain name extensions like:
domain.paris
domain.london
domain.melbourne
domain.tokyo
domain.miami
domain.moscow
domain.art
domain.shop
domain.hotel
domain.movie
domain.home
domain.search
domain.oracle
domain.abc
domain.maserati
domain.google
domain.microsoft
domain.visa
domain.apple
domain.netflix
domain.youtube
As well as any number of new proposed extensions where your guess is as good as mine what the hell these organizations paying $185,000 each to ICANN for the right to create them are thinking.
To be polite we’ll call these…
Domain.yamaxun
domain.maif
domain.meo
domain.mopar
domain.weiso
domain.xin
I’m going on record here to state my opinion:
Most of these new extensions will ‘EPIC FAIL’.
I’m going to be VERY BLUNT here (we’re all adults here, right?).
Most of this crap is what I call “pigeon shit” and I’ll stake my reputation as the “Domain King” on an assertion that the vast majority of these will have zero value, traction in the marketplace, or longevity.
You may be wondering…if it’s such a waste of time and mental masturbation to create all these new domain name extensions, why are “they” doing it?
Listen to this analogy…let’s say a huge pizza place opens on 59 Atlantic AVENUE.
But you already owned a tiny hole-in-the-wall pizza place at 59 Atlantic STREET.
He advertises more, you grow more. He gets pissed, you laugh your ass off. He gets more pissed, you laugh harder and harder and make more and more money. You laugh because you know you never did anything wrong and while the other guy is pissed and it is directed at you, he should be angry at his own ignorance.
Not you, who did nothing and was just the beneficiary of life. You got lucky! You were then smart enough to capitalize on it. That's what you do in a capitalistic system.
You expand your business because you are doing so well and the other guy is barely surviving. The last thing you want to do is see that guy go out of business. On the other hand, if he does go out of business, he has built an incredible business for you.
Maybe you will even take over his business infrastructure because he never understood that he may have been able to buy your little hole-in-the-wall restaurant before he built his place and avoided all this. Maybe it never crossed his mind. Maybe he did not know. But if he could rewind, maybe that would have been the best decision. Maybe that would have made a difference and a different outcome.
Maybe?? BULLSHIT! As I have stated over and over and over again, success or failure comes at the very START of any journey.
That analogy above is exactly what happens because of “traffic leakage” when a business tries to make a go of it selling products and advertising their business using a domain name with an inferior extension like “.net”, “.biz”, “.co”, or “.whatever” for their online presence— every single time they end up making money for the guy who owns the “.com” counterpart (many times a guy like me).
Big brand corporate America failed at securing their future on the internet when the Ivory Tower marketing executives at these companies SCREWED UP and let the “.com” name acquisition boom pass them by while they were asleep at the wheel.
All the dead captains of industry that built the corporations so many work for today are rolling in their graves because those in positions of power and leadership at so many of these multinational companies largely missed the greatest high-leverage business advantage opportunity of their lifetime, their father’s lifetime and their fathers before them!
I mean, these same geniuses passed on the opportunity to BUY Hotels.com for cheap—and now we’re supposed to feel sorry for them that they have to spend MILLIONS each month just for the privilege to be one of many hotel companies to ADVERTISE on the website?
So now they want to try “dot hotel” as a made-up domain name extension and think that’s going to somehow work?
Gimme a break!
They believe that if that happens and if they ‘get in early enough’ by buying up a whole bunch of these “dot whatever” domain names, one of them might be like a winning LOTTERY TICKET.
I know several people I consider friends and colleagues that are going after buying up portfolios or getting involved on the domain registry side and selling to the masses hundreds of these new domain name extensions. I don't wish any of them ill and I hope they prove me wrong. If I can identify any that I think could work or have a reason to work or a plan to work, I will speak out in support.
But when I have facts that say 61% traffic leakage, I will point to that as well.
To me it is a poison pill to those that don't know better. But hey, that's business. People have the freedom to make mistakes.
“.com” domain names have increased in value faster than any asset or commodity in the history of mankind, with the very best premium generic domain names INCREASING IN VALUE 1,000-10,000 x over and more throughout the years.
Sorry ladies and gents, that was a unique opportunity in time and they missed the boat.
The consumer has made his choice.
The branding dollars spent on “.com” is insurmountable. After all, it's all about the advertising and who does that advertising. So without that type of distribution that “.com” has now gotten for decades, it is going to be a very uphill battle for 99% of all new domain extensions.
History has spoken.
Without MASSIVE international multi-media advertising for years and years capable of effecting a change in the consumer behavior and mindset of billions of people, the average guy on the street will not recognize or use any of these new domain name extensions— so websites operating a business using any of them are going to struggle big-time!
With hundreds of new competing domain name extensions, it is just not feasible for the guy on the street Joe Consumer to be expected to learn to understand all of them.
“Who cares if it’s crap? People won’t know the difference! Let’s sell it anyway,” some of these companies say.
In 2013 and beyond, ICANN (the domain registry governing body) will authorize the creation of hundreds and hundreds of new domain name extensions.
And a bunch of new companies are going to move into the “domain registrar” space to sell them to an unsuspecting public, along with the domain registrar companies you already see advertising with their flashy TV commercials for the masses to buy domain names.
The move is meant to combat the so-called “monopoly” of dot com (as if any one company was behind ".com" as it grew naturally to be dominant). Unfortunately, this effort is destined to fail before it even begins.
What is the #1 reason in my opinion? The consumer will be very confused by the dilution of domain extensions. And a confused mind reverts to what it already KNOWS.
Humans are very adaptable when they see a direct benefit to themselves.
So never say never.
But also realize how long it takes to change a foundation.
Fact is…water runs downhill no matter what some might believe or want to believe.
Some of these new "Roads" may not be traveled in our lifetime, and yet people who are uneducated about the realities that I’ve now shared with you WILL buy and try to use these many new domain name extensions as a virtual business foundation for their company online.
They are trying to build alongside existing interstates but if they go nowhere and lead to nothing it won't matter.
The bottom line is that always comes down to the idea.
We will never run out of domain names, which, after all are at their base level simply strings of letters and numbers and symbols— of which we have an infinite number of variations— but we sometimes run out of ideas that just don't copy what already is available, and already superior.
And what is a new extension “.property” but a poor copy of Property.com? What value does “.youtube” have that cannot be accomplished with Youtube.com?
As a consumer I could care less about the domain name extension. I just want what I need and want. Most of your customers will feel the same. The question to ask is: WHAT WILL THESE NEW DOMAIN NAME EXTENSIONS PROVIDE TO FILL PEOPLE’S NEEDS AND WANTS WELL ENOUGH TO CHANGE 20 YEARS OF CONSUMER BEHAVIOR ACCEPTING “.COM” AS THE STANDARD?
As an investor, I think of the new coming-out domain extensions I give the geographic ones like domain.paris or domain.miami the best chance…and do you know why?
They may actually SERVE A USE, to indicate locally-oriented content, companies and resources, AND they only need to ‘catch on’ in a small, defined geographic area in order to be a successful online platform for doing business.
The more domain name extensions that come out, the more valuable standard “.com” names will be.
You can buy and use a “.whatever” domain name extension, but you’ll be losing money and fighting an uphill battle all the way. Are you willing to risk your company (or your family) and its future on these facts somehow miraculously changing?
If you’ve found yourself here, reading this, then that is NOT your only option.
How much are the best keyword-rich domain names worth?
The value of domain names in general vary considerably, but in the past decade that overall value of “.com”-extension domain names has continued to climb faster than almost any investment vehicle in the history of mankind—a claim you can verify from such trustworthy sources as Newsweek, Entrepreneur Magazine, or the New York Times.
Today, as I write this the purchase price range for a good keyword-rich domain name of 1, 2, or 3 generic words is currently between a few thousand dollars and $10,000,000+ USD.
A very small niche industry two-word domain name like DogFences.com recently sold cheap for $6,400 USD while in a more profitable market, two-word domain name PersonalLoans.com sold for $1,000,000 USD even.
What is the BEST way to value a domain name?
Well, think of it this way: what is the value of a single targeted and qualified website visitor click if your company sells a $20 million airplane?
To be extreme…how much is that ONE visitor worth?
The most valuable single-word and two-word category-defining names such as many our company owns and operates presently change hands for between 6 and 7 figures each…
IF you can find anyone willing to sell them!
Here are a few recent representative sales of premium ".com" domain names to give you an idea of values.
They say “diamonds are forever”, right? How much moreso is premium “.com” domain name Diamond.com?
Think about it…If you operated a diamond jewelry store, how much would Diamond.com be worth to you, when every day a flood of prospects ‘digitally walk into the online internet store’ by typing in that “.com” domain name in their internet browser looking to buy jewelry, diamonds and diamond-related products?
Well, how much is the value of just one new “diamond” customer?
How much would that be worth to get those customers for the lifetime of the business? What if instead of ongoing advertising costs for temporarily-effective marketing methods that must always be paid for again and again, the diamond company was smart enough to invest in an asset— i.e. the domain name that produces leads ongoing FOREVER without ongoing cost?
When you look at the 1-2-3 punch of a premium category-dominating keyword-rich domain name, the type-in traffic of potential customers visiting the website every day, and zero ongoing marketing maintenance costs to maintain internet dominance in your niche industry…WHOA!
Any aggressive company capable of maximizing the lifetime value of new customers is going to do well in that kind of situation. Frankly, I believe the buyers of every single one of these big-ticket domain names got a BARGAIN buying it at 7 figures, and are poised to make many times more than that over the lifetime value of the investment.
Our company sold Men.com for over 7 figures, a domain name that represents an entire GENDER and one of the two largest consumer buying social demographics on the planet. The media has been referring to me as the “Domain King” for years and started doing it even more often after that deal…yet even with a windfall profit and amazing ROI on the sale vs. purchase price (I originally bought the domain name for $15,000 many years before), I sometimes regret not holding on to it for development to create much more long-term income selling all sorts of products and services to this lucrative demographic of 3 BILLION PLUS potential customers.
Selling our valuable internet properties just isn’t a big part of our business strategy, as you’ll recognize when you realize we own over 7,000 valuable domain name internet properties and typically do not even respond to unsolicited offers from people who want to buy our domain names.
Every day we get DOZENS of unsolicited offers from potential buyers looking to give us CASH MONEY to buy one or more of our domain names and we regularly do not even respond.
One of the last domain names our company sold fetched $3,000,000 and we only sold that one retaining a gross profits equity stake in the company that purchased it—a company that has already made back their investment in just a few years and much more (we’ll tell you a little more about this case study of eRealEstate Family of Sites member Candy.com later in this letter).
BOTTOM LINE: It is our opinion that the value today of prime generic ".com" keyword-rich domain names are undervalued, even with multi-million dollar sales happening regularly like many similar to the handful of ones just mentioned.
Yes, the sales value trend for premium domain values is rising, and our company has done our part to increase the visibility and value of the domain industry with sales like Men.com for $1,300,000; Candy.com for $3,000,000 + royalties, Property.com for $4,000,000 + equity stake, and iReport.com purchased from us by international news leader CNN for $750,000 in a globally publicized transaction.
To be honest, when buyer representatives for the news network first approached me about buying that domain they were initially offering $10,000. I felt the domain name was worth considerably more (and this isn’t even the kind of domain I have focused on buying over the years, generic word-matching ones that receive “type-in traffic”) and so I passed. Fast forward a short time of back-and-forth negotiations later and CNN Network purchased the domain name for $750,000. I mostly did that deal to raise awareness of domain values across the globe, as I knew the deal would make international headlines. Today, CNN’s iReport.com is the most recognized citizen journalist website online, with users from just about every country in the world.
But frankly, we believe that as the benefits of owning and/or operating these limited names becomes even more widely known (and coveted), then the current valuations even of premium domain names that trade hands with multi-million dollar price tags will look very low when looking back in years to come.
New York Times best-Seller and serial entrepreneur Marc Ostrofsky bought Business.com in the early 1990s for $150,000….then rang the cash register re-selling it at $7.5 million dollars in 1999 (while retaining some shares in the company purchasing)…a domain which was then developed into a real online cash-producing business and re-sold to another party for…get this…THREE HUNDRED and FORTY-FIVE million dollars. Let's write that out in numbers . . .
Up and up and up in value and income potential…WHY should we SELL these “Golden Gooses” when each and every day they continue laying “golden eggs”?
I mean…seriously…What is the value of a 4 letter domain name that I paid $100 for and with NO upkeep or changes has produced at times as much as $1,200 a day in PROFITS? 2x earnings? 3x earnings? 5x earnings? 10x earnings? 20x earnings, more? Those valuation models just don’t fit! In most cases, it’s just not good business to sell one of these "golden goose" earning assets.
This explains why our company has sold ONLY a HANDFUL of domains in our company’s history, as we continue to buy more and more, spending millions of dollars buying out other internet property owners to assemble the over 7,000 valuable domain names in our portfolio…it’s the Domain King’s EMPIRE assembled property by property over almost 2 decades.
So yes, a company bigger than yours has probably already offered us a LOT of CASH to purchase our domain name(s) in your industry…and we turned them down flat.
To reiterate: We’re really just not at all interested in a straight sale of any of our domain names without the creation of an ongoing income stream being part of any deal.
I entered the business world in 1973 with retail furniture at the age of 19, and after about 30 different jobs eventually found my calling being in business for myself.
So I understand what it’s like to create your own business and be the one responsible for profits, and I want to make it a little easier for a group in the next generation of folks looking to make it happen.
Our company Targeted Traffic wants to be a part of helping great small existing operations and new startup businesses grow into amazing category leading companies as members in our eRealEstate Family of Sites of joint venture partners and domain lessees: one click at a time, one sale at a time, one customer at a time.
I believe that "Today's visionary is tomorrow's genius!"
Listen, folks, the opportunity to do business on the internet as we write this today is the gold rush and the industrial revolution all rolled up into one, only bigger, better, easier and a lot more profitable. The competition is in full swing and every minute you delay is a silly minute wasted.
The internet has given everyone an equal shot at a piece of the pie. It’s a brand new race and everyone has a nearly equal chance.
Got a visionary idea? If you can read this then you have no argument and if you have a burning desire then nobody can stop you. Now it is up to you to see if also you have the guts, the drive and the creativity you need to acquire your dream. We can help.
Got an existing business that is ready to get more customers? Now it’s time to scale up and consistently sell more products to more customers. We can help.
As you read over this offer letter, and imagine yourself on this journey with us, I will clue you in how a small existing company— or even a brand new start-up!— with big ambitions, quality products & services, and a proven sales process (like yours perhaps?) can compete “neck and neck” online with and big established brands when you put the pedal to the metal with smart internet lead generation fueled by the power of keyword-rich domains and type-in traffic.
But first, let me tell you something that might illustrate how URGENT it is for your smaller company to use the time advantage you have right now to get in this game NOW— before an established giant in your niche moves in for the kill, and forever closes the doors for you to compete in this internet arena.
A Handful of Billion Dollar Companies Have Invested Heavily to Acquire Keyword-Rich “.com” Domain Names in Their Niche while (lucky for you) others have so far missed the boat
Did you know that Bank of America closed on www.Loans.com?
Or that Barnes and Noble pages through www.Books.com?
Were you aware that Fidelity Investments managed to fund www.401k.com?
Would it surprise you that aspirin maker Bayer swallowed www.Aspirin.com?
What about www.Motorcycles.com? Which humongous, multinational corporation do you think gets all the customers generated by that generic keyword domain name? If you guessed motorcycle manufacturer Honda was smart enough to go full throttle on the information superhighway, then you’re right (no fair if you went to the link!).
Or which major company do you think owns and operates www.Toys.com? I bet your kids could tell you that it’s giant retailer Toys R’ Us without even visiting the website.
Heck, Microsoft bought an entire company just to get their hands on www.Live.com, even though many pundits claim that all they wanted was the domain name.
Read this sentence and then close your eyes as you answer this question aloud: what are the first 3 companies you think of when you hear the word “BABY”? Close your eyes …
< You closed your eyes didn’t you? >. I’d be willing to bet — especially if you’ve recently had a child — that one of your three guesses, if not the first company you thought of, was Johnson & Johnson the makers of all kinds of baby-related products.
Need I tell you which company was ga-ga to own www.Baby.com?
Take a second and see if you can match up the major national and international brands & companies in the tablets below with the alternate list of keyword-rich domain names that are currently owned and operated for the profit of each one of these billion-dollar brands that are ALREADY “household names”.
These are MAJOR multi-billion dollar companies whose names you know and recognize, many of whom are the biggest player in their market.
No doubt, like me and almost everyone else in the Western world, you’ve probably seen these companies advertised in every form or fashion possible in a marketing plan: from trade journals, newspaper ads, print magazine ads, internet banner ads, PPC “pay per click” ads, promotional giveaways, retail stores, television commercials, event advertising, email marketing, location signage, telemarketing, social media, radio spots, phone directories, billboards, direct mail, coupon flyers, and much more.
These companies have massively big marketing and branding campaign budgets…and yet a ‘secret way’ they have of acquiring customers for the LIFE of their business only cost them money ONE time. They snagged these extraordinarily valuable keyword-rich domain names at whatever price they could acquire them for — knowing they’d quickly and easily recoup their investments because all of the amazing benefits.
You’ve probably spent money as a customer with many of these companies, right?
“Branding”? HA! What a joke!
“Branding” for small businesses who focus on “impression-based” advertising, happy just for consumers to SEE their marketing materials, is often a waste of time and money.
After all, if you ask me…branding in the lower echelon of smaller business is mostly a waste of time. “Impression-based” advertising where you pay for someone just to see (but not act) upon your advertisement, is usually pointless.
Advertising based on the number of impressions displayed and not on actual clicks received -- flat rate or by productivity-- is the MAIN reason that so many lose money on the Internet. Mainstream advertising rates are based on magazine or broadcast price guidelines. They apply the same formula to the internet but the “formula” is flawed and doesn't work in this medium.
Why pay for 100,000 ‘advertisement impressions’ if NOBODY clicks to go to your website? Wouldn't you rather have 25 live targeted clicks? Doesn't that represent more value? If you purchase 100,000 impressions for $5,000 it means NOTHING when there’s no guarantee who (if anyone) will ever see or act upon that advertisement … or ever make a purchase.
In my opinion, “impression-based advertising” on the internet is pretty much the same as loading up a bus with 50 people, passing a casino without stopping and then repeating the process until 100,000 people passed the casino. Then giving the bus driver $5,000 for it. You still have nothing but just WASTED $5,000 because you get zero value as a business. ZERO! But the bus driver can make millions (and that’s what online companies who sell you ‘impression-based advertising’ have been doing for years).
Compare that with a bus driver STOPPING at your casino and then unloading those 50 passengers at the front of your casino and then holding the door open so that they can enter. Those 50 are already more valuable than the 100,000 and if you had to pay $10 each you would still have $4500 left to invest in more targeted prospect advertising. So even if as the “bus driver” my company charged $10 per delivered visitor to your business, that $500 is a BARGAIN compared to spending $5000 for nothing!
(This is the exact thinking behind many companies’ decisions to LEASE one of our premium domain names for an affordable monthly fee and just keep the profits their business makes for themselves)
Just trust me on this.
Direct response advertising prospects such as those provided through the targeted visitors to keyword-rich domains receiving type-in traffic trump impression-based branding advertising every single time.
Another reason you may not be aware of that domain names based on business names are inferior to keyword-rich domain names because keyword searches produce much higher returns than even brand searches of the biggest, most advertised company brands in the world.
According to Google’s own Keyword research tool, worldwide 16,600,000 people each month on average search for “Candy” using their search engine alone (as of this publishing date).
The same research authority shows that only 2,740,000 people each month go online to Google specifically looking for the brand “Hershey”, arguably among the most well-known candy “brands” to ever exist.
What does that tell you about the value of branding?
Melville Candy Company is admittedly a business many of its customers never heard of, before first buying candy from them. They had a “brand” nowhere near top-of-mind, not like an industry leader such as “Hershey”.
Having decided to do business with our company Targeted Traffic, however, has allowed them to brand themselves as the ONLY Candy.com! (I’ll tell you more about this case study deal with this great eRealEstate Family of Sites partner company later)
Consider things from the perspective of a consumer searching the web for a product or service. The question to ask is, “Unless that person already knows of me or my company, how will I be found among millions of other websites and dozens, hundreds or even thousands of businesses that do the same things I do?”
Enterprise Rent-a-Car, Bank of America, K-Swiss, Barnes and Noble, Honda, Xerox, Johnson & Johnson, ESPN, H&R Block and the dozen or so other big companies detailed previously now operate keyword-rich domain names that match EXACTLY what their customers are looking for already by making online searches for their products and services.
The domain perfectly matches what the user typed in, and the webpage reinforces that to internet users — who become customers, all without the company needing to spend a dime or a moment’s effort on traditional advertising to bring in that prospect.
And that’s the very same chance Hershey could have had with Candy.com … And in my opinion they blew it and gave up a tremendously valuable competitive advantage in the 21st Century of business!
Are we saying you don’t need to do advertising or it’s a mistake to spend money on marketing?
Of course not.
But it is not enough just to have “brand recall” for your business, accomplished when forms of advertising your company creates and pays for develop a following of customers and prospects who know your company’s name/brand and the name of your products and services.
It is equally as important to be present in the very MOMENT that your perfect prospect is proactively searching on the web for the business, product, or service they want to spend their money with or on, and to have the credibility to warrant their trusting you with vital personal information to do business with you.
Aligning your company with one or more of the very best generic keyword-rich domain names either through ownership, leasing or in a website joint venture such as those offered to select companies with our program, can impact the amount of traffic you receive to your website, lower the cost of lead generation, and affect consumer’s perception of your brand…plus so much more in terms of benefits that we’ll fully outline to you as we continue educating you, possibly our next partner or domain lessee.
Yes, some of those big billion-dollar companies profiles ‘GET IT’…and if you’re in their industry categories, you’ll have a tough time competing with them in the years to come.
While it’s no surprise that a number of Fortune 500 companies have already grasped the value of generic domain names and invested heavily to acquire the top keyword-rich domains in their market space, now that you’ve read this far and have a grasp of ‘our secrets’ most businesspeople are clueless about still, the part that might surprise you is this …
More big businesses than not, however, are sadly lacking in this area — aka “asleep at the wheel” — even as I write this a full 17 years after I began amassing my own domain portfolio that big companies have been sweating to get their hands on for years and becoming upset when I turn down their offers to purchase.
Personally, I feel like this phenomenon happened because really BIG businesses are often months and even years behind small, agile, forward-thinking small business entrepreneurs who find and create the best new opportunities to profit, and only years later do big businesses catch on — because big businesses are not led by visionary entrepreneurs but managed by employees.
It's a well-discussed industry legend that marketing executives at Marriott, Hyatt, and Hilton among other multi-national hotel chains all passed on the opportunity to buy Hotels.com for CHEAP in the early 2000s-- and now hotel chains like these pay many millions of dollars per year to the website’s owner just to advertise on there.
That's how all but the very best salaried marketing executives think, unfortunately.
In my opinion, if they owned the company, they'd get wise quicker!
And as you’ll see now as you continue to read over this information and exclusive lease opportunity or joint venture domain partnership to monetize and develop one or more of the keyword-rich domains in our portfolio, that’s GREAT news for smaller companies with BIG ambitions.
The good news for SMALL businesses is that many bigger businesses do NOT ‘get it,’ how powerful keyword-rich domain names are, not the way Honda, Bank of America, Enterprise Rent-a-car, and the handful of other mammoth companies profiled previously get it.
So if you are planning a startup company or are already the owner of a small business with aspirations of growing your profits and becoming the premier product or service provider in your niche…you still have a narrowing-window of chance to compete with the ‘big boys’ … and position your company to dominate your business category online with our help.
OK, now you see more of what I see…and you’re ready to learn more about how YOUR company can grow and compete with the biggest companies in your industry…without their deep pockets, connections, branding efforts, or infrastructure.
Today we partner with companies — some you likely know already, some you will know as they continue to grow — and all of which are gaining greater market share by leveraging one or more of our keyword-rich domain assets and the targeted traffic a website joint venture partnership with our company provides.
We call our partners the eRealEstate Family of Sites, an alliance of independent websites including some of the most popular category — defining destination domain name properties in the world — such as Candy.com, RumorMill.com, PunchBowl.com, BirthdayParty.com, ExtraCash.com, Luv.com, BestMan.com, HelicopterCharter.com, Widgets.com, Carnations.com, Cowboys.com, CubicZirconia.com, Property.com, PersonalAds.com, TopSecret.com and more … an independent group of domain names owned by our company and operated as profitable online websites by leaders and companies who have decided to do business with us through a domain lease or joint venture partnership and take advantage of our market position in their niche online.
If you’ve read, heard and seen enough — go ahead and apply now for the risk-free and no-cost joint venture, or inquire about details and monthly costs for domain leasing of the internet property you desire.
Could your company be NEXT among the sweet success stories put on the fast-track leveraging my foresight to register a valuable keyword-rich domain name receiving type-in traffic YEARS before anyone else knew how valuable it could be?
NOTE: The “domain leasing” deal scenario is the only real exception to the “no cost, no risk” verbiage you’ve seen throughout this offer letter. If you are selected for the domain name sales and fulfillment partnership joint venture, there is no cost and no risk to become a member of the eRealEstate Family of Sites and use your chosen domain name because we will benefit when your company makes money in a pay-for-performance fashion. If instead you choose to lease one of our domain names because you are confident in your company’s success using this asset and do not want to share profits, OR if you apply as a joint venture partner and are not accepted, then there will be an affordable monthly fee to use one of our domain names and you keep the profits. Domainnames listed on JointVentures.com with a MONTHLY LEASE PRICE are in MOST cases available ONLY for leasing or leasing with option to buy and not partnership joint ventures...but it never hurts to ask via a full partnership application.

If you've just discovered JointVentures.com, click the "start tab", and start there on what's been somewhat snarkily called "the world's longest homepage". Trust me, when it comes to your company's domain name being your #1 asset going forward, you must understand that the success of any journey is assured to the destination you want or hopelessly lost off course at your very first step.
Current domain development JointVenture partners and the companies that lease our premium domain names could tell you that it sometimes takes a bit of immersion in this world for our message to "sink in".
But when it does, you too will inevitably realize the enormity of the opportunity you've stumbled on to position your company to dominate in the 21st century of business online...and once you "get it", you'll be glad you took the time to understand and act on seizing a considerable competitive advantage many bigger companies in your niche have failed thus far to recognize.
Our kids in the Western world have literally grown up with online access, it’s been over a decade since “Y2K”, and debatably this phenomenon we call the ‘internet’ has been around in some form or fashion since 1983, according to scholars.
Why the sudden interest in keyword-rich domain names?
I hear that question from people who haven’t been actively doing business online for as many years as I have and are only in the last few years starting to see interest in domain names emerging in the mainstream media. The fact is, exploding interest in keyword-rich domain names isn’t “sudden” at all, though many very smart business people first learn about it every day even as I write this today in the second decade of the 21st century. In the last couple of years, more and more smart marketers are realizing that the Internet is here to STAY and that the ‘domain name’ is the key component to an online presence for any business serious about being profitable.
What about you? Do you think someone would be considered legally insane today if they claimed that the “internet is a fad”?
It’s surely possible when you consider the most recent stats as profiled on Wikipedia.org.
And here’s the really insane part for people to understand in affluent areas that have grown up with internet access: Only 35% of the entire world’s population is ‘online’ today as I’m writing this.
That means the population of the Internet users & customers will TRIPLE in coming years as the rest of the globe comes online!
When WE started investing in internet real estate aka domain names, people DID think we might be the ones who were INSANE! Now it’s insane to ignore the internet; businesses that fail to compete online have NO FUTURE in this brave new world.
Don’t agonize over what you may have failed so far to get accomplished online for your business, okay?
If your business has so far procrastinated on establishing your company as a leader on the Internet, being guilty of that isn’t the worst possibility. If you believed during some of the first 20 years of its existence that the Internet was a “fad”, there’s still time to recover from that mistake and profit. Any business that wants to grow in the next 20 years CANNOT afford to compound those mistakes as the Internet is just in its “teenager” years.
Honestly, did you believe in the 1990s that the Internet would become so incredibly central to our daily lives the way it increasingly has in the last 20 years?
Well, imagine what will happen in the NEXT 20 years as this ‘internet teen’ grows up into its full potential…
Get excited because these extremely impactful benefits of keyword-rich “.com” domain names allowing a business to carve out a huge piece of that internet action are NOT available only for the mega-corporations, but can start being assets to YOUR smaller company as a domain lessee OR joint venture partner.
Investment: As we’ve noted and provided examples, the valuations of keyword-rich domain names have steadily increased over the last two decades as the importance of these assets becomes ever more realized. Domains are a lucrative investment vehicle, especially so with the “.com” name extension. In fact, domains have appreciated in value perhaps faster than any other commodity on earth. As Internet use continues to explode around the world and among future generations, good domains will only increase in value
NOTE: The ‘flip side’ of this equation is that many brand new startups with great ideas, as well as small existing businesses with large ambitions, are now ‘priced out’ of buying one or more truly great keyword-rich domain names for use in their own business…the very reason the companies who lease our domains for an affordable monthly fee, as well as our joint venture partners, find working with us extremely attractive to leverage our domain name portfolio without significant cost or risk* — the opportunity presumably for which you are considering applying right now.
You do not have to invest millions of dollars to acquire premium domain names for your niche industry; we already did it for you!
Credibility & Leadership: Owning or operating a strong descriptive “.com” keyword-rich domain name in your field UNLOCKS almost instant credibility and respect: people know you’re a serious player. It’s an easy conveyance of trust, financial stability, and reliability in the mind of consumers and other businesses with whom you might do business worldwide. Each of our valuable generic keyword domains represents an automatic market share in industries one would think was much too late and costly to get into, and with the potential to be perceived as a market leader from the get-go.
As profiled, a number of the world’s top companies already generate leads using some of the best generic keyword domain names in their niche. These companies are amongst the leaders or are, in fact, the biggest leaders in their industry. Coincidence? I think not! Consumer perception is that whoever has a generic keyword “.com” website address must be among the market leaders in that business category.
Intuitiveness & Memorability: What makes our domains so valuable and the traffic ever-increasing is by standing alone each and every domain says exactly what it is (or will become) via an easy-to-spell and easy-to-remember name typically straight out of the dictionary (i.e. “generic”). People REMEMBER keyword-rich domain names for the same reason they remember WORDS we all learn and memorize when we learn the language itself!
Think about it—no candy company needs to spend millions showing you a television commercial for you to end up on Candy.com when you can just go there on your own when you want to buy some candy. It's just the intuitive action.Once they’ve done business with your company, customers are more likely to notice, recall, visit and revisit your website if it’s a generic word or phrase. Those are two indisputable facts, that when combined lead to one simple conclusion: this instant and long-lasting customer top-of-mind memorability is more powerful than almost any amount of branding of business and trade names.
That’s the very thing happening with my eRealEstate Family of partner companies like those who now operate Candy.com, a case study I share more in depth during this letter.
And what about BEYOND the natural traffic benefit to consider the scenario when you’re now using a website domain name in advertising? If you are paying $200k for producing and airing a 30 second spot on television, shouldn't you make it easy for folks to remember and find you when they need you? One company spends $1000 per year on advertising and another spends $1000 per SECOND on advertising. When it comes the website address used as a call-to-action in direct-response marketing, you don't think information proving that the domain name memorability of a generic word is superior and more easily remembered and acted upon versus a made-up brand name is valuable? You don't think this has a direct value on your asset? Please…if you are afraid to ask big questions, you are afraid to make the big money.
International Exposure:Many average folks aren’t aware that there are “country code extensions” for domain names on the Internet, and each country has its own. There’s “.de” in Germany, “.cn” in China, “.au” in Australia, “.co” in Columbia and so on. Even the supposed ‘country code’ extension for the United States — which is “.us” – is almost never used
Why? Because all of those extensions were created too late to affect consumer behavior. Internet users not just in the United States but worldwide have already CHOSEN “.com” as the default ‘standard’ domain name extension. People see the standard “dot com” as synonymous with the “Internet” in their mind.
This means that smart companies with global ambitions might want to buy up and use website domain names in different languages and with country code extensions…but the smartest marketers (anywhere in the world) make sure they’ve FIRST secured the ONE domain name that matters most, the “.com” name.
Location & Relevance: Domain names are locations on the internet just like addresses are the physical locations in the world of physical real estate. Whether your location is on Park Avenue in New York, or Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, or even Main Street in a small town, when the property market grows your house increases in value too.
Same goes for the internet. As we’ve discussed, there was once a time when economists, executives, sociologists, the media and members of both the business and academic worlds weren’t quite sure that this “internet thing” would ever become more than a “fad” and become a part of mainstream life. That day is LONG past
The past measure of your company’s success — that you could afford a big advertisement in the coveted local YellowPages phone directory — is increasingly becoming irrelevant.
That’s because today’s consumers find the businesses they give money to not in a phone book but on the INTERNET. What does your internet location say about your business? It's very crowded out there. What are you doing to stand out from your competition? Your domain name is your #1 asset going forward. More important than your phone number is your website address. It has to be distinct and memorable. It must convey a message. It must do a lot. “Location, Location, Location” has never been this important.
Would you buy the entire category heading in the yellow pages? You can't. With domains, you can OWN a market. Own a category on the internet. YOUR location can be THE location online.
Internet Growth:Today, if your business doesn’t have a website presence online, you’re inexorably becoming a dinosaur in a fast-moving interconnected world where a number of websites get used by MORE PEOPLE EVERY DAY than live in any single nation on the face of the Earth.
Did you catch that? And with over two billion worldwide users already, the Internet is only going to keep growing in scope and importance in our lives, as well as expanding to that segment of potential customers who are not yet online among the developed nations but very much want to be among that group of “haves”.
Think about it! In the world’s richer countries, as individuals we are moving more and more of our lives to the online “cloud”. Developing countries will improve financially and want a seat at the World Wide Web table. Users connect to the Internet’s businesses, entertainment options, information sources and each other from an increasing variety of devices beyond the standard desktop computer. Mark my words: this will be the first century of what will be called in history books hundreds of years from now “The Internet Age”.
Effortless Branding: All domain names are unique but there are only so many good ones relevant to your business category. The smart domain name choice provides the ability to reverse brand a word for a company instead of a company for a word. We’re seeing an increase in the number of successful companies that use a strong brand-worthy keyword-rich domain name to support an existing brand or to strengthen the company’s brand positioning by building a new brand under the domain name.
And it makes sense to do that, too, because remember: it often takes a HUGE branding budget to alter a consumer’s perception of a made-up brand name like “K-Swiss” to be synonymous with “Tennis Shoes”. On the other hand, how much effort or expense does it take to persuade that same consumer what kind of product they’ll find when they visit www.TennisShoes.com– the keyword-rich domain name operated by mega-shoe-company K-Swiss?
Mobility: Consumers are more mobile than ever and now have easy access to the Internet via their cell phones. Now there are even more opportunities for people to use the Internet and visit your website, research prior to buying, or even make purchases all on the go.
If your business sells gold at a discount and there can only be one DiscountGold.com, would you rather you have the prospects typing in that short memorable domain name on their smart-phone looking for discount gold finding your company OR your competitor’s company? It should be an easy decision, especially when an alternative available domain might be something extremely inferior like “ChicagoDiscountGoldPawn.com”.
And, if you are one of those people who think mobile apps are taking over the internet space, try again! As this infographic from MDG advertising shows, apps are good for some things, but when it comes to shopping and buying online, while mobile, domains dominate!
Cheaper & Better Search Engine Marketing: According to Forbes magazine, “There is a land grab happening now in the internet world. Much like real estate, your success can depend on location, location, location. Instead of being situated at a busy intersection, today’s valuable real estate is in the first 10 spots on Google for a keyword your customer might search. As search engine optimization (SEO) begins to mature, obtaining one of these choice locations is going to get a lot tougher real fast.”
Websites with keyword-rich domains have better chances of being listed at top positions in search engine results like Google, Yahoo, Bing and the smattering of smaller search engine options so that more visitors reach your website through organic search results. Want proof? The Search Engine Ranking Factors report for 2009 (an annual survey of experts in the SEO field) ranked keyword use in the root domain name (e.g. keyword.com) as the third highest ranking factor for on-page optimization. Plus, it’s been proven that keyword-rich domains help to drive down costs associated with SEO (search engine optimization) which can be an important way of attracting new leads to your website.
However, note this well: Google, Yahoo, and Bing as search engines typically do NOT “index” domains that are ‘parked’ (filled with only ‘click advertisements’ like we discussed earlier)…so many of our existing domain names do NOT get any organic traffic from search engine marketing YET.
However, as soon as valuable relevant content, properly optimized for the search engines to find and index, is added to the starting benefit of a premium keyword domain name, it’s often like opening the floodgates for search engine visitors to start coming in waves! And that is exactly what happens when a new domain lessee or joint venture development partner of ours comes on board to operate their business using our premier online location, and does the right things with simple on-site and off-site search engine optimization to capitalize on this head-start advantage. Better SEO results and cheaper more effective online marketing? Sounds like a double-win!
Business Growth: Generic keyword-rich domains can help you reach a larger audience, expand into new markets and attract new clients. Some companies that have adopted a keyword-rich domain name as their company name have benefited from a much faster rate of growth than alternatives.
As well as the traffic benefits, the mere credibility and perceived market leadership conferred upon a company using a strong category-dominating domain name can open doors to opportunities for new business growth.
Want more proof from interesting case studies?
LOTS of companies can make and sell Bobblehead dolls, but only one company can use the memorable perfect keyword-rich domain name URL BobbleHeads.com – and the company who did it has in the last 4 years become the premier dealer of this novelty item in the entire world.
(Funny story: those guys once created a limited-edition “Rick Schwartz- Domain King” bobblehead doll we featured at a past domain investor’s T.R.A.F.F.I.C. conference. Pretty cool, huh?!)
Low Ongoing Cost:Regardless of what someone pays to acquire any domain name, once someone owns that piece of internet real estate, a “.com” domain costs less than $7-10 in yearly registration renewal fees. This means that the major profiled companies who invested even 6 or 7 figures in purchasing a premium keyword-rich domain name enjoy leads-for-life with effectively a one-time investment. Can you say the same thing about writing a check to advertise in a magazine? You write a check every month to run those ads or the leads stop flowing, right? For the companies that lease our domain names for an affordable monthly fee, as well as for our no cost and no risk sales and fulfillment partners who fairly split their upside profits with our company, the deal using premium domain names is even SWEETER because WE put up the CASH to acquire the domain names worth having in your niche industry — so you don’t have that large up-front capital cost, and you can still reap the benefits!
Publicity Magnetism:Every single day, many thousands of news media outlets all around the world — big and small, online and offline, local newspapers, blogs, magazines, website publishers, email newsletters, television news and specialty programs, radio interviewers and more — staffed with hundreds of thousands of journalists who are each and every one trying to get their news stories written with the most interesting, fact-filled, and colorful information and characters they can find. With the right positioning, publicity can be a huge source of free marketing for any business, allowing you to make a slew of sales without coming out of pocket for costly advertising. It’s exactly what has happened over the years for Jeff of AmericanFlags.com, whose business is regularly written up in magazines and newspapers, or brings him opportunities to be an interviewed expert on Fox News and other TV programs— simply by virtue of being the owner and operator of the category domain name for a topic on which he has long been perceived to be the expert.
Now, if your jewelry business is online for example at www.CubicZirconia.com and a journalist out there is looking for a credible expert authority to interview and quote for his/her upcoming news story on cubic zirconia jewelry, is it beyond belief to think that he/she might just type in the words they are researching into their internet browser, slap a “.com” on the end of it, and expect to find a market leading company existing there on that domain name address? They can…and do, and this goes for many of our top premium websites that allow you to be in the right place at the right time to capture these opportunities to be mentioned in the media for widespread publicity exposure. As I write this, the Cowboys.com domain name our company owns with partners is experiencing a new surge of news stories written about it. As you can see by all the logos of newspapers, blogs, magazines, TV and more media companies at the top of this offer letter, all of which have profiled our website domains, projects, and deals…I could go on and on. Grab a publicity-magnet domain name and don’t look back!
Scarcity & Monopoly: There is obviously a limited supply of quality, unique keyword-rich domain names. How limited? Well, look at the LANGUAGE. How many words do you have for “car”? How many synonyms are there in the thesaurus for “house”? How many of those words are used frequently? The point is: words are limited…and domain names are made up of words.
A quality domain name you own or operate is a domain your competition doesn’t and cannot use against you. Generic keyword-rich domain names such as those in our company’s portfolio can drive hundreds or thousands of potential new clients to a company’s website and you do not want these prospects to land on your competitor’s website! Savvy companies with growth ambition cannot afford to lose this potential strategic advantage to a competitor so they do what they must to reap the benefits while simultaneously blocking potential competitors from achieving the very same benefits.
'Shareability' & Viral Marketing: When your happiest customers pass along recommendations to others, you know you’re doing something right. There’s very little friction for customers to share your business either verbally or online through web 2.0 media such as blogs, forums, review websites and social networks . When you operate your business utilizing a “.com” keyword-rich domain name, you reap the benefits of an easily shareable business that transfers from person to person like it’s contagious. All you have to do to enjoy the power of viral marketing is to have products, services, experiences and things happening worth sharing and your easily memorable website will be heard and seen round the world.
WARNING! I will talk more in-depth about this incredibly important topic elsewhere in this letter, but know this now: it’s been proven again and again that any domain name extension except “.com” will confuse people, inhibit word of mouth or viral sharing effectiveness and lose you customers.
Increased Sales Conversion: Click-through rates for product and service offers or advertisements on keyword-rich domain names receiving type-in traffic are higher than those metrics for example from ads on search-result pages. Even more importantly, the “sales conversion” rate — that is, the percentage of click-through website visitors that result in actual purchases — has been proven in multiple studies to be much higher. According to a three month study conducted in 2005 by WebSideStory, that conversion percentage of visitor-to-sale was almost twice as high at type-in traffic websites (4.23 percent) as it was at conventional search websites (2.30 percent). Aggregated over thousands of visitors, an advantage like that adds up to real money, real fast.
In my own experience and that of my partners in the ERealEstate Family of Companies and Sites, I have proven again and again that ourtype-in traffic converts into sales at rates that can often be BETTER THAN DOUBLE, even 10x that of normal website visitors(making the 3.5 million monthly visitors to our eRealEstate Family of Websites have the power and potency of 35 million normal prospect online “hits”).
NOTE: The “domain leasing” deal scenario is the only real exception to the “no cost, no risk” verbiage you’ve seen throughout this offer letter. If you are selected for the domain name sales and fulfillment partnership joint venture, there is no cost and no risk to become a member of the eRealEstate Family of Sites and use your chosen domain name because we will benefit when your company makes money in a pay-for-performance fashion. If instead you choose to lease one of our domain names because you are confident in your company’s success using this asset and do not want to share profits, OR if you apply as a joint venture partner and are not accepted, then there will be an affordable monthly fee to use one of our domain names and you keep the profits. Domainnames listed on JointVentures.com with a MONTHLY LEASE PRICE are in MOST cases available ONLY for leasing or leasing with option to buy and not partnership joint ventures...but it never hurts to ask via a full partnership application.

You see, every single DAY over 100,000 people go to their computer’s URL internet browser address bar looking for something like “Cubic Zirconia” or any one of THOUSANDS of other products or services my company bought the “.com” keyword-rich category-defining domain name URL for…choosing not to type a search phrase into Google or visit a website selling the product they heard or saw advertised on the radio, television, or some other advertising medium, instead these growing group of consumers navigate directly to a website they aren’t even sure whether exists or not … just by putting a “www” in front of whatever word or words describe what they are looking to buy or do, and a “.com” on the end of it.
And this happens no matter WHICH internet browser people use, whether it’s Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape, Google Chrome or any of the other internet browsers available for computers. People even do it on their smartphone and tablet internet browsers like Safari (Apple iPad and iPhone) and Android Chrome (Google’s Android interface for tablets and smart-phones).
(Mozilla Firefox)
(Internet Explorer)
(Apple iPhone Safari - Webkit)
In this example case study I mentioned for the consumers looking to buy “Cubic Zirconia”, over 120-150 people on average each and every month visit www.CubicZirconia.com through direct navigation to that domain website address (aka “type-in traffic”) — and my company does not spend a DIME to cause that to happen, and there’s no search engine in that equation at ALL.
Talk about a category-dominating domain name! There’s tens of thousands of jewelry stores just in the United States alone…and every one of them had the same chance I did to dig up this gem of a domain name. With an average of 120-150 monthly visitors already coming from type-in traffic alone, all this domain name needs to create a great new profit center for a jewelry store capable already of selling online is just a little polish and effort to connect the dots. Rings, necklaces and bracelets made with cubic zirconia may not have the sparkle or price tag of diamonds, but if you sell enough and treat those customers well, over the history of your business this lead source could be worth more than a bushel basket of diamonds. You may not be able to run an entire business on 120 new leads per month or close to 1500 per year…but it’s certainly one heck of a supplemental marketing source, isn’t it? Imagine having 1,500 visitors lined up at your jewelry store to buy a watch, a ring or a bracelet. That is exactly what TARGETED TRAFFIC is all about; that is what we mean by "Type-in Traffic", or direct navigation.
And many of our domain names get many, many MORE type-in traffic direct navigation visitors, each providing a consistent daily “jumpstart” to traffic for whatever else your company may desire to pursue for marketing your business online.
While our company currently owns thousands of keyword-rich domain names like CubicZirconia.com and listing them here would not be feasible…below are just a few more examples of available domain names for you to use, if you qualify, and if you’re chosen to joint venture with our company with no cost and no risk as the exclusive sales and fulfillment partner in your niche industry, or alternatively if you’re looking to lease one of our premium domain names for an affordable monthly fee and build it to be the new online home for your business.
Ready to hear about a few to whet your appetite for how BIG this opportunity is that you’ve stumbled onto …perhaps even the premium ".com" domain name of ours that you have your sights set on already?
Well, how about TaxiDrivers.com? When I bought this premium domain name in 1999, I’m sure a number of inside-the-box thinkers would have called me crazy. After all, who would believe someone might ask for a taxi on the Internet, for crying out loud? I mean, those were the tail end of the days when phone calls to local businesses from YellowPages advertising were still the dominant method for customer acquisition in many industries. And few people saw the Internet disrupting that human behavior in quite the same degree as I did, as early as I saw it.
Fast forward almost 15 years and you have people using smart-phones connected to the Internet to find local restaurants, research big purchases, discover new entertainment options based on their location…and request taxi service. There are thousands of taxi driver services nationwide, most of which have only a blip of branding on the screen of the average consumer (beyond category leader Yellow Taxi that is) but there can be only ONE TaxiDrivers.com…I think this memorable and category-defining domain name, paired with a national presence/ambition, mobile marketing plan, iPhone/Android apps of the same name, local driver dispatch infrastructure, and city-related “subdomains” such as Miami.TaxiDrivers.com, Chicago.TaxiDrivers.com ETC (all hosted on the SAME WEBSITE TaxiDrivers.com) could make market splash on the way to becoming the “top of mind” go-to taxi service option for millions of travelers. The potential to use this one-of-a-kind domain name to become a market leader is there, used properly. Will your taxi company be the ones to leverage this asset for your branding?
Did you know that every month 600 consumers visit DailyVideo.com without my lifting a finger to advertise? Do you suppose a business selling an online membership video service where you sign up and get one video per day as a customer (perhaps in the adult industry) could partner with my company and offer these eager prospects their daily video downloads, and in so doing create a brand-new profit center with no cost and no risk to themselves*? Could a small company offering a similar but more niche-oriented or better DVD-in-the-mail alternative service to Netflix get off the startup launch-pad by leveraging these 7000+ annual prospects to sell to first before adding in other less-targeted, more costly marketing methods into the mix? As world-famous direct marketer Gary Halbert might have said: “You bet your sweet bippy they could do it!”.
I’ve often thought this premium website could easily be the backbone of a 7 figure business. What is it? ModelHomes.com … Because this website address has an already existing thousands of annual visitors that are from all over the world, and the model home industry has a geography-specific limitation in most cases, there’s a problem an entrepreneur like you might be equipped to solve and profit…if you’re up to the challenge, that is!
What about Astrologist.com? Secure this domain name and leverage the ultimate astrologer’s branding tool: because there can be only one in your field who is THE “astrologist” in the minds of your audience of prospects, right? Care to bet how quickly the search engines would validate your business as THE “Astrologist” with high domain rankings for related keyword phrases to “astrologist”, once you build a valuable content-filled website there? If you can scoop up just a FRACTION of the 135,000 people searching Google alone each month for “astrologist” related information and services, you’ll feel the wind at your back for sure!
A decade ago, very few people had heard of the “dating advice” information products industry because except in a few small sub-cultures the ideas of men sharing with men how to pick up and date women, or women sharing with women how to find and keep a great man— and actually SELLING that information— just didn’t happen. Today, I know of multiple companies that earn 8 figures per year selling advice and information products to men and women looking for love and tips on seducing the one they desire. The market is still WIDE OPEN with no major “blue chip” companies yet taking a piece of it— or even yet noticing— and in my mind that provides a ripe opportunity for the right ambitious young company to come along and brand themselves the market leaders online. Securing our company’s premium domain name Seducing.com through a domain lease or development joint venture deal would be a smart move.
Thousands of type-in traffic visitors hit BulkMail.com each year. Can you sell them what they are looking for and service these customers? If the answer is “yes” because you’re already in the bulk mailing business, congratulations because I just helped you create a brand new lead source with no upfront cost and zero risk* as our joint venture sales and fulfillment partner…if the answer is “yes” because you have a start-up idea in this sector, then let’s JV (joint venture) and get you your first customers before you ever worry about developing a more robust marketing plan.
Did you ever sing Christmas carols? ChristmasCarols.com is one of our available domain names for leasing affordably or to develop in a no-cost, no-risk joint venture! Do you have a unique and profitable idea to monetize this domain name year-round, and want to benefit from a seasonal traffic spike that’ll have you singing “Let it Snow!” all winter long?
997.com is a fun domain I think. Could you brand a new online store selling discount merchandise for $9.97 each item (kind of like a more up-scale version of a “dollar store”) where everything costs nine dollars and ninety seven cents each? Sure you could, I’ve seen ideas like that gain traction in the marketplace plenty of times. But the best use of this domain name might very well be a radio station operating on the 99.7 FM channel band, dubbing itself 997.com. In today’s world where internet radio stations conform to no geographic boundaries, satellite radio is expanding and free streaming music online threatens to obliterate the existing local radio station model…could one of the nation’s regional 99.7 FM channels take the leap of faith to expand beyond its geographic boundaries and still maintain its “997” identity using 997.com? No doubt they could, and likely one of them will. Who will ‘get it’ first?
If your business sells gold at a discount and there can only be one DiscountGold.com, would you rather you have the prospects typing in that short memorable domain name on their smart-phone looking for discount gold finding your company…OR your competitor’s company? You can decide when you inquire about leasing this premium domain name for an affordable monthly fee, or else when you apply to be chosen with no cost and no risk as our newest joint venture partner to develop this internet property into a business where we have a small cut of your profits.
I love parties and a party ain’t a party without great party snacks! I can remember thinking as I registered the premium product-category domain name PartySnacks.com that I could clearly envision a future company making that the tagline and call-to-action in a television commercial. I’ve been offered a lot of money to buy this domain name from several companies in the niche, but just haven’t found the right company to do business with, who understands my vision of wanting to have a small ongoing percentage or income in the domain name’s use. But we’re turning the corner and that argument of lease or JV vs. straight sale is becoming easier as the arrangements become more common. As corporate America realizes there will be no “second coming” of “.com” with any of the other domain name extensions, and that “.com” alone will reach the masses, without profit or awareness losses (or both), the party is ready to swing into high gear!
What about your company? Could you see using this premium domain name, along with the 5000+ annual visitors it gets just through direct navigation — with zero advertising — and all of the SEO and branding benefits that come along with it? Do you have a large-scale and innovative marketing campaign mapped out to make full use of it, with a marketing roll-out budget to match? Do you feel it’s reasonable for me to request an ongoing revenue stream from your use of this asset? If so, get in touch about a domain leasing or joint venture arrangement and let’s see if we can start the party!
According to my traffic stats, on average between 700 - 800 consumers each month visit GetTogether.com with zero advertising via the phenomenon known as ‘type-in traffic’. Could you develop a solid relevant and converting sales offer, put it in front of these prospects and make money with no risk*? Do you have SEO skills and are looking for a lucrative new project to take on, but don’t have the 6-7 figures of cash to afford the very best domain name foundation to use? Have your cake and eat it too! We already put up the cash to acquire this great name…and you can now use it if you can prove you know what you're doing!
Do you operate a souvenir or tour business in Washington D.C.? If so, I’m confident you can monetize the domain WashingtonMonument.com much better than I can with just a “domain parking” webpage filled with “click advertisements” and no relevant, valuable information. You may not be able to own the physical landmark of history, but if your ideas are good enough I’ll give you control of its digital counterpart as our newest joint venture partner in the eRealEstate Family of Websites! Create compelling local content, sell advertising, run local tours, profit from reviews, combine with other attractions, the sky is the limit… Any idea how many people visit this landmark every year (and how many research it online BEFORE visiting the city? The number is hundreds of thousands of people per month. Give the search engines a reason to rank this website for the term "Washington Monument" by developing a website with real valuable content, and you'll likely be FLOODED with organic search engine prospect customers. And like the other domain names available for JV, if you’re not interested in becoming our partner and sharing your profits, you can also lease this “.com” name and use it as you wish with no profit split — all by paying a very reasonable monthly fee.
What about Cheapest.com? According to our analytics stats, every single day we get an average 35 visitors to the website…10,000+ annual hits … again with zero marketing costs and no effort to produce these results.
I wouldn’t dream of selling this domain name even for 7 figures … because there can only be one company out there branding themselves as THE “Cheapest” online. What do you suppose all these internet prospects are looking to do or buy? Could a company that specializes in the absolute cheapest products in multiple sectors make multiple sales easily to these consumers? You bet they could! Cheapest travel, Cheapest hotels, Cheapest flights, Cheapest electronics, Cheapest cell phone plans, Cheapest appliances, Cheapest cars…the possibilities to sell many different products here for the right company are endless!
And if your company applies and is chosen as our sales and fulfillment partner to develop this domain name into a business, you can forget about the capital cost to acquire a domain name as valuable as this one...because we already invested the cash for you!
ifolders.com is a fantastic “brandable” domain name in my opinion. More and more business transactions and the ‘stuff’ we all do in everyday life in the 21st century world is moving to the “cloud” online. If that’s the industry category where your business wants to operate, you can do worse than choosing this simple, easily-understood and defensible branding that matches the “folder” generic term that already has meaning in the mind of your customer both as a physical item and also in the digital space.
JobWanted.com is another premium “.com domain name available to lease for an affordable monthly fee, or use it risk-free as our sales and website joint venture partner in exchange for giving us a share of your profits! It’s pretty self-explanatory what the 1500-1800 annual visitors via type-in traffic to this domain name are looking for, isn’t it? Create a product or service and put it in front of them, and you’ve just launched a brand new business startup on a premium domain name location before ever worrying about additional marketing sources. If you have an existing business catering to the job seeker, then hook this domain name and its traffic up to your sales conversion process and let’s make more profits together as you become our newest eRealEstate Family of Websites member.
The cost for a sex change operation is between $8,000 - $50,000 per person, depending on a few variables. Whether it’s a male seeking to live as a female or a female seeking to live as a male, this trend of people wanting desperately to live in a body of different gender than the one they were born with, is here to stay and growing by leaps and bounds. While most surgeries are by nature private, industry commentators claim there are maybe 500 surgeries per year in the U.S. alone and as many as 5 times that worldwide. As human nature continues to move more and more to the internet as our tool for information and research, both about what we buy and what we do, how valuable would SexChange.com be as a tool for information publication, and new client acquisition for the one surgery center that gets to use it?
What if I told you that without me lifting a finger to advertise, almost 2500 people per year type that website URL into their internet browser? How many gender reassignment surgery clients would you need to capture using this branding to make ANY investment for a monthly affordable leasing deal worthwhile? Not to mention if we simply joint ventured with your company as our sales and fulfillment partner, channeled you the leads, and were paid per performance from your profits with no cost and no risk to you!
Do you have plans to publish a fashion magazine or online guide for men? If you don’t have a huge budget to “brand” your magazine name with the public, just use MensFashionGuide.com as your name and benefit from a name which is easily understood. Yes, you can reverse-brand your company/magazine as the same as this domain and get immediate market understanding of what you’re all about. It probably doesn’t hurt your efforts that without any cost of advertising, over 1500 or so people every year ALREADY type that domain address into their internet browser (and there’s really nothing there)!
Getting a handgun permit is a function in most municipalities not of business but of government. So what use could generic domain names HandgunPermit(s).com have in a commercial sense, you may ask? I’m glad you asked!There are several stages we as consumers go through in our process to making purchases, and when that behavior happens online it often can be captured and categorized and available for smart companies to mine that data for use in their later marketing. Did you know that the typical lifecycle of an online purchase starts with information gathering: like searching online “How do get a handgun permit?” or “What is the cost for a Tennessee handgun permit?” These consumers are trying to get information to help make an informed decision. Something similar happens with many industries prior to a transaction, and used properly it can help a company IDENTIFY a long-term, repeat buyer of their products, so they can focus their marketing on them early and often!
Now, what is powerful about this domain name and what you could do with is in my opinion is that you can make your company that sells handguns, ammunition, target practice, and/or gun-related product accessories known to a NEW group of customers who have never heard of your company or yet made a BRAND PREFERENCE…simply by writing up relevant, educational content giving them the information they need to make their decisions about gun permits. After all, if they ALREADY have a gun permit, they probably already own a number of handguns and may already have a preference of manufacturers, but if they’re just now looking for information online on “handgun permits” that signifies to me that many of these customers are ripe for the plucking. How many people per month is that number? Google.com alone shows over a HALF-MILLION people per month searching for these answers! Let these potential gun customers find you, give them the information they want and need for their local area regarding handgun permits, capture their contact information, and create a brand-new pool of potential buyers for your gun products. Why is no company doing this already? Beats me…maybe because they ENJOY selling guns competing only on price with other manufacturers, and can’t be bothered to groom the next generation of their customers by doing something of value for them FIRST and BEFORE asking for the sale.
Looking for love in all the wrong places? Strangely enough, so are many people each month when they type-in PersonalAds.com hoping they’ll find it online on a website no one even told them to visit (they just guessed it would be there). But when these love-seekers visit our website as I write this all they find is a “parked domain” filled with a bunch of “click advertisements” for other websites. Is it reasonable to believe that a LOT more money can be made by my company working with another business that’s already set up to serve these potential customers and give them a real platform to truly find what they’re looking for? Maybe your company!
Ever wonder about the Western world’s fascination with the top supermodels? Hundreds of beautiful women compete in completions, television shows, and with appearances in media of all kinds, each seeking o be crowned the “top supermodel” in the mind of the public. And we as a society spend hundreds of millions of dollars consuming it all, from gossip magazines, to reality TV, to calendars, lingerie advertisements, and more…in an industry where perception and beauty collide, could a savvy model agency marketing company fight itself at the top of the pile of models using a weapon as potent as TopSupermodels.com in their marketing efforts? That’s not only plausible, it’s likely. But WHICH COMPANY will get that exclusive opportunity? Will it be yours?
What about RVBatteries.com? A brief look at the search engine results for “RV Batteries” shows a bunch of companies that don’t specialize and don’t have the SEO benefit of a keyword-rich domain name matching the product. A little elbow grease, good content, and optimization and this domain could serve as the foundation for a successful RV accessory sales business — you can probably even source the product through a wholesale drop-shipper and keep your hands from getting dirty!).
And here’s the real kicker in my opinion for those of you that are more interested in new or used RV sales of the actual VEHICLES…when you sell someone a small product like an RV battery and treat them right, you just gave yourself a chance to earn their business the next time they’re in the market to buy another recreational vehicle: that’s smart positioning!
Handicapper.com is a personal favorite. If you follow the gambling industry even casually, you’ll know how unique and powerful this domain name could be to a company looking to brand themselves in that arena. You’d be interested to hear how many people visit that website, but that’s not even the most important part of this domain name in my opinion. I mean, you could build a gambling advice empire on this foundation! Tip sheets, membership programs, video tutorials, print newsletter subscriptions, partnership tie-ins with simulcast bettor websites, the sky is the limit for the right business wanting to partner on this domain property.
If you were going to start a high-end 24x7x365 travel concierge service for the affluent, a one-stop shop for travel services provided to the one segment of the personal consumer market that does not ignore the dying travel agent industry and typically just book their travel themselves online these days…what would you call the company? I think I’d leverage one of the phrases known world over to mean preferential treatment, and call the company “Go First Class”. As much as I travel, and dislike the many details you have to deal with, I’d probably be your first new customer to a business that made the right offer to handle it all for me! And I’d be the first of a flood, since I’m confident if your business is set up to truly serve this discerning class of travel customer, you’d easily start converting some of the thousands of type-in traffic visitors to GoFirstClass.com, and continue to grow from there. Used properly, a smart marketing strategy centered around a ready-made slogan and domain name rolled up into the matching name of the company, could start bringing in many more new customers through word of mouth, advertising in affluent-demographic magazines, and of course through paid and organic online marketing.
Ever heard of a “widget”? It’s a hot sector of online technology — not just an old-fashioned word you may have known growing up meaning a unit of some product. There are “app widgets”, “poll widgets”, “form widgets”, “mobile widgets”, “advertising widgets”, “widget downloads”, “embeddable widgets”, “custom-built widgets”, “widget games”, “social widgets”, “weather widgets”, “sales widgets”, “information widgets” and hundreds of other widget varieties, all available for many computer, mobile, and internet platforms and created by a growing number of freelance widget developers.
And every day, 2,600 visitors looking for these widgets click through to Widgets.com. No that’s NOT a typo. Do the math and we’re talking almost ONE MILLION annual visitors to this premium one-word domain name destination—with zero advertising cost! It doesn’t take much brainpower to figure out what they want, and if you put the options for purchase in front of these masses of potential customers then they will BUY, BUY, BUY—all without spending a dime on advertising or a moment’s worry or effort on “how to get traffic”.
As I write this, I’m not yet sure if an existing company will lease this domain name for a monthly fee…or whether I may not even allow that option, preferring instead to find an ambitious company to JV with us on this domain name and split profits with no risk as they sell and fulfill to this massive existing customer demand…That business once up and going might do a million dollars a year in sales easily…after all, we’re talking about starting with almost 1,000,000 annual visitors. If you sold only 5% of them an average order of $20…there’s your million bucks in revenue right there!
Does your company or law firm do business in the “trademark” field, either through invention development, legal advice and protection for companies and inventors, or otherwise? If so, Trademarking.com may be a good domain name to use in your new client acquisition marketing strategy. It’s short, catchy, and immediately describes what you’re all about to your target market of potential customers…and may just allow you to make your own “trademark” subtly close to generic words people already know, understand, and equate with what you do.
Which segment of the population is adopting the internet faster, as I write this in the second decade of the 21st century … young adults or seniors? If you went with the intuitive answer younger adults, you’d be flat-wrong, because most of them — in developed countries, anyway, GREW UP using the World Wide Web! There has always been a population of older users on the internet — dating way back to the heyday of AOL and Compuserve with dial-up modems being just about the only mainstream ways to get online. Yet it’s only now, in increasing numbers that the generation of the youth’s grandparents are getting online in greater numbers. These older ladies and gentlemen are getting online more and more for many reasons, but chief among them is communication (such as social networks, email, picture sharing) allowing them to bond to their grandchildren, who live and breathe technology. Suppose you wanted to put together an informational resource showing this growing demographic of tech-unsavvy web newbies a few tips on how to use the web for their limited purposes, made it simple to understand, and offered products aimed at this niche…could you choose a better domain name from which to operate that business than Grandchildren.com? I doubt it…couldn’t you just see an ad insert in an AARP member renewal letter mailed to your home and offering some information and that link?
Tradeshows.com is another category-dominating domain name. When you think “Tradeshow”, if you’re an American you probably think Orlando or Las Vegas, right? Well, not too many years ago you wouldn’t have thought that. Consumer perception is malleable…and my feeling is that somewhere out there in these great United States (or maybe even an international business) is a hotel magnate or local visitor’s bureau with big ambitions of going head-to-head with Vegas or Orlando as the next premier destination for companies and organizations to host the big tradeshows…and you know that the visitors this domain name receives, plus the credibility and branding possibilities of being the only TradeShows.com could be a BIG help in positioning that premier destination for hosting tradeshows, couldn’t it?
Vegas and Orlando probably think they’re safe…but I’d bet against their continued dominance in the tradeshow space if the RIGHT hotel chain, visitors bureau, local organization, or convention center gets hold of this premium internet address and uses it properly.
Here’s a fun one: DaisyDukes.com. OK, I’ll pause for a moment while a number of you who are less serious than starched-shirt, button-up corporate types have a good chuckle. Seriously, though, the tight denim short-shorts worn by fictional character Daisy Duke of “Dukes of Hazzard” fame, became enough of a cultural phenomenon that the term “Daisy Dukes” stands strong and meaningful to the masses as the name for an entire fashion category decades after its first use. This is what I call unintentional branding, and as far as I’ve seen no single company has tried to fully capitalize on that phenomenon by manufacturing and selling sexy denim short-shorts called “Daisy Dukes”,a term which so far as I’m aware is not trademarked by anyone. I’ve mentioned a number of times in this letter how HARD and COSTLY it is to “brand” the name of a product or company when it is just ‘made up’. Better, simpler, cheaper in many cases to use a word or phrase people ALREADY know the meaning of, and in this case you could easily make use of all that history and the language itself to make YOUR company’s clothes product THE category-defining choice when you use DaisyDukes.com!
If you were in the market for a new house or vehicle, hated dealing with paperwork and pushy salespeople, and had some worries about your financing options, do you think you’d respond to an advertisement that directed you to apply online at PreApprovedLoans.com, and without needing to talk to a human receive an answer within minutes regarding your qualification for a pre-approved loan?
No doubt you would respond to that kind of advertisement paired with that
“explains exactly what it is” domain name, as that’s precisely the set of
circumstances a company offering “pre approved loans” needs to match
in order to really give the customer demographic needing them
what they want. If that company is yours, let’s make some money
together, starting when you inquire today about domain leasing,
or apply now to become our next joint venture partner and
member of the eRealEstate Family of Sites.
CeaseAndDesist.com has an interesting story behind when and why I acquired it in 1998. Most people will never receive a “cease and desist” letter, a term used for legal communication from attorneys or a government agency warning that if a certain activity of the letter recipient does not stop immediately, lawsuits or criminal prosecution will ensue at the instigation of the letter sender. Some examples include holding loud parties late at night, leaving a dog outside to bark all day, cutting down trees that stand on public or jointly owned land, or building a fence that infringes on someone else's property. Others include trademark, patent, and information property theft and infringement, libel and slander. Whew! That kinda sounded like a lawyer wrote those couple sentences, didn’t it?
Why is this domain name so valuable? Because the RECIPIENT of many of those threatening letters, as the first thing they do, is likely to go online researching just how big a problem this letter and threat really is…where if your law firm has positioned itself as the defender of the marketplace, the potential client looking for “cease and desist” related information and resources, can run smack-dab into offer for a free pre-client consultation at CeaseAndDesist.com. Now you have the chance to convert that potential client to your practice likely before any other law firm even knows he/she is in the market for an attorney!
I’m confident that if your organization or company has the initials “GPF”, you could get greater top-of-mind-awareness for your website if you branded and used GPF.com in communicating with your members and/or customers in addition to your already existing website— one that probably has a long and unwieldy internet address, am I right? How can I make that claim? Because the thousands of people per year typing in this 3-letter domain name already are looking for SOMETHING, and my best guess is it’s either your organization or another with those initials. 3-letter domain names have sold for 6-figures plus many times, and I could go that route. But why not level the playing field and allow me to earn a reasonable amount of money to allow your organization to use it with a monthly domain leasing fee?
NEWSFLASH! The traditional print newspaper business model is dying, with declining readership numbers, less paid subscribers, and fewer companies willing to invest in advertising to reach the shrinking market of readers for most major metropolitan dailies. Do people not care about “the news” anymore? Of course not! It’s just that all of those eyeballs and time spent consuming news has moved online in a MUCH FASTER behavior change among the masses than the industry saw when it was first challenged with television news (a challenge in my opinion, the industry newspaper failed). So as more and more newspaper publishers close down, scale back, or else cut journalistic staff and reduce circulation while increasing per-paper costs for their customers … is that the death-knell for print and ink newspapers as we know them? Maybe.
EXTRA, EXTRA, read all about it! I think the single biggest opportunistic trends in the “news industry” are THREE-FOLD: 1) The migration of readership to online, as already noted; 2) Consumption of information has become a social event, with people sharing what they are reading and commenting on it seamlessly in real-time online; 3) The rise of the “citizen journalist” where it’s becoming less and less important where you (or whether you) went to journalism school when a story you write and a picture you took on your camera-phone simply by being in the right place at the right time can be seen worldwide in minutes. Imagine the possibilities with TopHeadlines.com: could you see this premium, easily memorable, brandable and infinitely ‘shareable’ domain name as the home for something great that would capitalize on all three trends?
I’m patiently waiting for the RIGHT company to come along and knock my socks off with a joint venture proposal for use of this domain name. If it were me, I could see pairing the website with a Facebook application of the same name that allowed users to read news and comment to their friends, starting viral discussion threads about their interests, all branded with the company and website name. The advertising dollars are still there to make in the news business, but to get the dollars you MUST control the readers, and online is where those readers are at now! Maybe this idea is just too “out of the box” for the newspaper publishers…maybe they like to continue hemorrhaging RED INK as they LOSE MONEY trying to hold onto a past role that is fast becoming IRRELEVANT in the 21st century. Or … maybe … they’ll ‘get it’. Whichever company does, expect TopHeadlines.com to become a ‘favorite link’ for many people online, around the world.
What would you expect to find if you visited Ex-Wife.com? As a related question, WHO would you expect would be moved to action to visit a website with that domain name? And lastly, what would this demographic of visitors be interested to BUY? Put the three of those answers together, the right “message” with the right “market” as a match, and you can make a spark that creates sales. What would you sell these “Ex-Wife” visitors? Answer that and profit! I’ve always thought products like T-shirts and beer mugs custom-designed with funny jokes like “I still miss my ex-wife…but my aim is getting better” might be a way to do it…and maybe you agree, or have another idea altogether for how to monetize this premium community-defining domain name…let’s get together and make it happen!
Flowers have become a bigger and bigger business in the last 50 years as advances in technology and transportation such as cross-country rail, refrigerated trucks, and more have brought with them the opportunity for flower sales to expand beyond the local geographic limitations inherent in the short salable lifespan of a perishable flower. Today, it’s an entirely different story, and while a few “old guard” organizations — most notably, FTD — had a chance to monopolize the industry once the national scope of sales was possible (had they made the right moves), instead they failed to act quickly and decisively.
In the last two decades or so, upstart company 1-800-Flowers seized the competitive advantage of selling flowers all over the globe, with a networked product distribution system that would be the envy of any army general, selling huge numbers of flowers first over the phone and now increasingly on the internet, starting with 1800Flowers.com. I remember having Jim McCann, founder of 1-800-Flowers, in as a guest speaker at the 2008 T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Conference and boy was his story of using innovation, technology and superior marketing to disrupt an entire industry a riveting tale! Can you believe floral market leader FTD at the time of Jim’s company being founded offered him a pathetic $10,000 to buy his vanity toll-free phone number? They saw some value in using it as a branding tool…but they didn’t see enough, or as deeply into the future as Jim did. Jim refused to sell, and instead built a small existing company into a multinational conglomerate around a few simple ideas and that memorable phone number. I believe business school students will be studying this triumph for decades as it is easy in hindsight to see how 1-800-Flowers could rout the competition on the way to becoming the market leader. Does it surprise you which company now ALSO owns top flower domain name Flowers.com?
Now, the real question for us today is this: which flower company will embrace the same principles on a smaller scale, and make a run at using our company’s Carnations.com as a marketing tool and internet platform to capture instant mindshare and growing sales in a small niche market within the booming flower industry? Will it be yours? Could the same company make a run also for a similar piece of the market by using our PinkRoses.com?
Tens of thousands of consumers each year sit down in front of their computer and type into their internet browser Ebud.com, a website address no one spent a cent to advertise to them. I’ve been receiving a lot of interest in buying, leasing, or developing this domain name into a destination online from people with all kinds of ideas for how it can be used to make a great profit. While it’s not really my thing personally, the businessmen insisting that soon marijuana will be decriminalized in the U.S. are pretty persuasive, as I hear their ideas for leveraging Ebud.com as the online presence for a movement and a business the very moment they are legally allowed to do so. I guess some of the younger generation calls marijuana “bud” and my domain name seems to be the best available for their purposes if they want to get a jump on marketing the drug online once it’s legal. Time will tell what happens with this domain name, whether we do business in a joint venture with these guys or someone who has another idea and wants to simply pay us an affordable monthly fee to lease the domain and use it exclusively.
TaxPlanners.com could easily be a category-dominating directory website. Put together the content and infrastructure, play the search engine optimization game from a position of starting strength with the very best internet address you could have for a website about tax planners, then sell advertising in the directory to “Tax Planners” throughout the civilized world, and you’ve got yourself the makings of a successful business. Did you know that every month via Google search alone over 5,400+ people are searching for information on or to hire a “tax planner”? How many of these potential users and customers do you want to find YOUR website? If you already run a directory or association (print or online) for tax planning professionals, there’s a very good chance this domain name would be a real “upgrade” from whatever you’re currently using!
Have you ever chartered a helicopter? It’s pretty expensive, so unless someone can afford it they’ve probably never even looked into the prices. You ever heard that saying “if you have to ask how much it is, you probably can’t afford it!”? We’re talking 500-800 dollars per hour for short trips, and day-long helicopter charter rentals in the 5 figure range depending on distance and fuel.
3 - 4 people per day visit HelicopterCharter.com and it doesn’t take an MBA to realize that these customers are a potential GOLD MINE treated properly!
Maybe you can’t run a full national/international business chartering helicopters with this prospect source alone, but if a company is ALREADY selling and servicing helicopter charter clients, with all of the infrastructure, equipment and relationships needed to do that without respect to customer geographic location, it is ON!
Can you see how 1,000-1,200 EXTRA prospects per year could be worth multiple 6 Figures in annual revenue and even MILLIONS when considering the lifetime value of these first-time helicopter charter customers? What happens when the RIGHT company puts promotion power and a marketing budget behind this most superior domain name available in the helicopter charter market? Sky's the limit!
Are you reading this letter because you typed in www.StarvingArtists.com into your internet URL browser today and we’re forwarding that domain name to this letter because it is a domain available for affordable monthly lease or a no-cost, no-risk joint venture development to one of our new eRealEstate Family of Partner companies? I’m honestly puzzled who all these visitors are to this domain name! Thousands visit each year with zero advertising…just ‘type-in traffic’. What do you suppose they want to do or buy? Answer that, let’s make a deal and profit!
THE TOP OF THE PYRAMID!!!
When we hear from companies who are doing their due diligence on this idea of leasing or joint venturing with our company to use one of our premium domain names, almost invariably they mention how much they learned— and enjoyed— the section of this website offer letter that details some creative ideas about how some of these valuable internet properties can and will be used by the right company with the right idea.
Because that’s what it takes to profit outrageously from even truly GREAT domain names. It’s the SIZE of your ideas, and the way your company executes them, that will result in the size of your SUCCESS! Did you know that Jim McCann's effort wasn’t even the first flower company to try to use vanity phone number 1-800-Flowers?
Nope, the first to try fell flat on their face before he bought the whole company, some say chiefly to get his hands on the phone number! You can have every advantage in the world and still fail if your execution is poor.
However, as I’ve been saying for years…most journeys that fail to reach their ending (e.g. “success”), FAIL at the very START of the journey. Well, the start of a journey in the 21st century to doing business online is choosing the RIGHT “.com” domain name to use.
It is the “TOP of the pyramid” and every other decision flows from there.
Here’s a “sleeper”: ToyTablets.com. The “toy” market is huge and fairly constant almost no matter what is happening in the economy. The “tablet” market is new and growing at a rapid clip, with tablet computers produced by some of the leading electronic manufacturers in the world all competing to establish dominance in a product category that didn’t even exist just a few years ago. It’ll be a fight of tooth and nail as they go head-to-head, but my money’s on Apple, a company I’ve written about extensively because I love their products from both an aesthetic and functional standpoint. So that’s the “business” or “adult” tablets side of the equation. But what about tablet computers for kids? Have you ever let your kids play with your iPhone or iPad tablet and then not seen them for hours as they happily amuse themselves, fully immersed in an interactive world that for them is often more real and fun than everyday life? It happens pretty often…and a lot of major electronics companies are starting to see it and capitalize on that niche segment of selling toy tablets for kids’ entertainment. But only ONE of them can use ToyTablets.com in their marketing and have a chance to gain leadership of the emerging market before anyone gets too far ahead. Will it be YOUR company?
With the crackdown in recent years on online gambling, and limited geographic areas allowing in-person gambling, more and more Americans are going offshore and on exclusive international cruises to get their gambling fix that they can’t get as easily at home or close by. In my opinion, these factors can make an operator of premium domain name OffshoreGambling.com that has some innovative ideas for monetizing the demand for “offshore gambling” by selling gambling travel packages, a very wealthy man or woman. The only questions this can and will happen are not IF but when and who profits, if you ask me. Be the first to grab this extremely valuable domain name when you make our company an offer we can’t refuse!
What about ServiceDesk.com? I’m not sure exactly when the term “service desk” first entered the English language or gained widespread use…but I DO know I registered this premium domain name way back in the year 2000; to give you an idea of how early that was in the evolution of the internet and computers becoming so central to our daily lives, that was years before Wikipedia.org and Facebook.com (2 of the 6 most heavily trafficked websites in the world as I write this) were even in existence. In fact, Wikipedia’s online encyclopedia entry for “service desk” looks like it was first posted in 2006, a definition that over the last few years has changed but little, reading today as I write this: “A Service Desk is a primary IT service called for in IT service management (ITSM)…intended to provide a Single Point of Contact ("SPOC") to meet the communication needs of both Users and IT employees... [sic: and] to satisfy both Customer and IT Provider objectives.” Today, the commercial potential for providing service desk solutions to companies big and small looking to get help with their information technology is a business worth perhaps hundreds of millions of dollars. Could your IT services firm get a fair share of that using ServiceDesk.com?
I think TruckDealership.com is an extremely valuable domain name. And while from time to time one auto dealer or another contacts me interested in buying it, not as many as I expect would compared to some other domain names I own that receive far more inquiries. Of course, whatever price they offer, I’m just not interested in a straight sale of any of our domain names without an ongoing income stream of some kind. What explains the relative small number of inquiries about this domain name compared to some others? I think it comes down to EGO, honestly. Notice how most car and truck dealerships are named after the owner? Callahan Toyota, Fielding Jeep, Bachman Ford and so forth…with each dealership plastering its name on billboards, TV advertising, and full-page local newspaper ads every weekend, the owner of most large auto dealerships often becomes a local celebrity from all that name exposure!
Now, exactly who would get famous if instead you used a generic website in your marketing instead? No one…and that, I’m afraid, makes many of these businesspeople short-sighted. Perhaps you will be the car industry professional with the vision to see the potential in using this domain name tool and without a need for cheap ego gratification? If so, I assure you that if your company is big enough — meaning, in multiple states — and have growth ambitions of selling more new and used trucks to the masses, TruckDealership.com could be a huge asset in your plans, enough so to make the small percentage we receive in exchange for your using it in a joint venture, or the affordable monthly fee you pay us for the right to use the domain name, small in comparison. Have a truck dealership in multiple cities already? Use what’s called "subdomains" to tie them all together…such as Miami.TruckDealership.com, Tampa.TruckDealership.com, Orlando.TruckDealership.com and so forth!
Several times a week I see self-proclaimed experts debating each other on the major cable network political news programs, and as a viewer at home telling who is a credible information source from who is just full of hot air is getting increasingly difficult in today’s media-saturated world where exposure on television lends with it a mantle of legitimacy no matter whether the speaker is in fact an expert or a loony nut-case. Knowing what I know about the power of keyword-rich generic “.com” domain names, I’m hesitant to allow just anyone to use PoliticalAnalysis.com, not because I think that organization or individual must necessarily adhere to my politics — I don’t— but because I know exactly what they will appear to be in the modern world where perception often precedes and causes reality. Meaning: the user of this domain name, with smart marketing and positioning strategies, moving and shaking in the dual but interconnected worlds of media and politics, could easily find themselves an acknowledged expert just by virtue of aligning themselves with the domain name ALONE…and anyone savvy enough to parlay that initial credibility into publicity, speaking and interview invites, can become a media darling, with political influence to match, so long as they can back up the initial impression made by someone hearing that you represent PoliticalAnalysis.com.
The word “Jigolo” is synonymous with sexiness among men, meaning that a guy could be so sexy that women would actually pay for the privilege of sleeping with him. Of course, just as in prostitution, paying for sex or receiving money in exchange for sex are both illegal acts in America at least. However, EVERYBODY knows that SEX SELLS! Tell me I’m wrong in my opinion that “Jigolo” could be used effectively as a new name-brand to sell men’s cologne, high-end jeans, designer sunglasses, and more. If an innovative company wanted to go after that same niche market of male buyers that buy products like Axe Body Wash, in part so that these “studs” can FEEL the same things implied about users of the products in their mass advertising…that kind of branded positioning combined with our Jigolo.com could make a mint selling all kinds of related products to these men…legally. With a simple domain leasing arrangement for an affordable monthly fee, this domain name and online brand positioning can be yours…or else, talk to us about your plans and apply for the exclusive JV opportunity to use our premium domain name and share in your profits without cost or risk to you!
Statistics show that upwards of 50% of marriages end in divorce. Common sense tells us that around 50% of all human beings on the planet are female, thus the same half of people getting divorced are also women, a huge number. The word defined as a female woman who’s decided to become divorced is a “divorcee” and this growing demographic community of women is a marketer’s bonanza if you ask me. I could easily see Divorcee.com as a domain name and “brand” matched with a reality TV show, internet community ‘social network’, women’s magazine…or all three. There’s a built-in and self-identifying audience of many millions ready to read, watch, network, share, and BUY what you put in front of them that they see as valuable. It all comes down to the size of the idea you have, in what you can get out of it! Did you stumble across this offer letter website because you typed in Divorcee.com hoping the domain name was available for use? If so, get in touch with us about your ideas and let’s see if together we can make something great happen.
I’ve been looking for the right company to partner up on FreeVacation.com with us for years. My best guess is that the highest and best use of this premium domain name would involve partnering up with a time-share company that already gives out free vacations paired with a promise by the recipient to take in a sales presentation and timeshare property tour in exchange for the gift. Do you have any idea how many billions of dollars are spent each year by couples and families buying up time-share property packages? And almost every single sale in that business model starts with the buyer being given a “Free Vacation” as a small taste of what they’ll be buying with the full time-share purchase. As an online lead generation mechanism for time-share sales prospects, I can’t imagine a more powerful marketing tool than FreeVacation.com, perhaps creatively paired with a “refer a friend” website that allows users to earn more free vacations simply by referring their friends to get the same deal they received. How quickly could that promotion pass via word of mouth and go viral with social media online? With the right company behind the strategy, faster than you can believe I’ll bet.
They say that “in wine, there is truth”. If that’s true, then it’s also true that if your company sells “Chianti Wine”, there is no better online platform from which to sell it than ChiantiWine(s).com, is there? How many wine makers and vineyards missed out on the opportunity early on to have the chance to dominate their category online, and be the ONLY wine sold on ChiantiWine.com, thus defining an entire market online? Fact is, they did not acquire this domain name when it could be had for cheap because they simply did not see what I saw. I envision this domain name can evolve into an e-commerce business selling wine online, as well as providing a ton of cool features like reviews, discussions, vineyard tours, and more. Selling wine online has proven TOUGH in years past because buying wine is such an experiential and personal transaction. If the company that joint ventures with us or leases this domain name makes community-building a large part of their customer experience, implementing a method whereby people can share with their friends what wines they should try and why (perhaps leveraging social media Web 2.0 tools), I expect they’ll be very successful.
SportsWeekly.com says exactly what it is, doesn’t it? Pair that unique and valuable generic domain name with a weekly print magazine or cable television show of the same name brand, put the right marketing strategy and advertising budget behind it, share great relevant sports content— written and/or audiovisual, and you have the makings of a hit in the sports entertainment niche!
Did you know that every month almost 200 people visit 750.com via direct navigation typing that web address in their browser? What do you suppose they are looking for, exactly? A few people think they are Chinese! I happen to think many of these visitors are looking for the same thing I felt made this domain name valuable to buy and own … namely information, products and resources in the “750” telephone area code in Florida. With some solid content added to develop this website, I wouldn’t be surprised to find the website once built on this domain name picking up tens of thousands of new monthly organic visitors from the search engines, considering that many more than that are searching for “750” according to Google’s own published Keyword tool metrics. Could you profit from that selling general merchandise and products to these locals?
According to my traffic stats, on average almost 2000 consumers each year visit FunnyMovies.com with zero advertising via the phenomenon known as ‘type-in traffic’. Could you develop a solid relevant and converting sales offer, put it in front of these prospects and make money with no risk*? Could you leverage this group of existing visitors as a “fire starter” to share funny viral movies with their friends on social media and get exposure to millions of website visitors? Could you make a fortune selling advertising on your heavily trafficked entertainment website without “selling” a thing? Sure could. Just takes a little imagination, some creativity and effort…and securing this premium keyword domain name for an affordable monthly lease fee or else sharing in your upside profits as a qualified applicant to joint venture with us as the newest domain partner in the eRealEstate Family of companies.
Consider this extremely valuable domain name: Cutie.com. Do you have a unique and profitable idea to monetize this internet property and the already existing thousands of monthly type-in traffic visitors it gets? This is a 7 figure plus value domain name hands-down. Why? Because the business you can generate using it is so BIG, and in my opinion while it clearly has “adult entertainment” potential, it is not ‘hardcore’ and so can likely be used to attract a casual pornography surfer that would be ‘turned off’ by a domain name that was just too explicit for their comfort level. I’ve said it a million times: not all people that buy toothpaste also buy porn, but all people who buy porn also buy toothpaste. What does that mean? Sex sells, and those who buy it buy everything else ordinary people do too. The advertising revenue alone on this one will be VERY lucrative for you once you develop the matching website content to please this audience of internet visitors. Get it while it’s HOT!
Did you find this letter because you typed in VideoDates.com, hoping it was available to serve as the internet address for your innovative new online video dating platform?A brief look at the search engine results for “video dates” shows a bunch of dating website companies that don’t specialize in the emerging field of video dating— something that did not even yet EXIST when I had the foresight to buy this premium domain name property— and these companies don’t have the SEO benefit of a keyword-rich domain name matching the product. A little creativity, good content, and optimization and this domain could serve as the foundation for a successful video dating business online. Could it be yours? Inquire about monthly leasing rates now, or else apply today to become our sales & fulfillment joint venture partner to develop this valuable domain name into a business with no cost and no risk to you as we share in the profits together.
Ever wanted to make like a pirate and get your hands on some serious “booty”? Apparently, a lot of people have dreams of being like Captain Jack Sparrow … or else the 5,000+ people per month who they type-in Booty.com on their internet browserare looking for a chance to get up close and personal with what the kids these days call the ‘Booteus Maximus’, also known as the female posterior. These fans are so enamored of the booty that they visit a website no one even told them to visit— they just guessed that here they could get what they wanted: i.e. pictures, videos, products, and more all related to the booty. And what do they find? No booty! Give them the booty and together we can create a huge profit on the back-end (sorry, couldn’t resist) as joint venture partners. Or, like other available domains open for JV, you may also be able to lease and use this premium internet property for a monthly fee and YOU keep all the profits!
If you have an existing business providing a “Get Messages” product, my guess is that this domain name available for an affordable monthly lease or no-cost, no-risk joint venture development will be an “upgrade” to whatever you are already using as your internet address…so just hook this domain name and its traffic up to your sales conversion process and make more profits! GetMessages.com is another fun domain name that you can easily run a top-shelf business from and take advantage of extremely easy-to-understand branding to reverse brand a product or company after a generic domain name that says EXACTLY what the company or product does! Take your product already created to do this and marry it with this domain name and create compelling content that will bring in a good fraction of the many, many people searching Google and other search engines for a product or service to allow them to “Get Messages”— and watch your business profits multiply.
GoStandby.com is an interesting domain internet address, especially from a branding perspective. The air travel industry is worth trillions of dollars, and the “standby flight” segment is an important product for airline companies. Selling standby last-minute flights allows the airlines to maximize revenue by selling the last few remaining seats on already flying planes to travelers that don’t mind flying at the last minute, aka to “go standby” — without much in the way of any additional variable costs. This makes “standby flight” sales very profitable. I don’t know if a 3rd party company ever was created focusing on selling only last-minute standby flights for multiple air carriers, much in the same way that some online hotel booking companies sell available rooms in hotels the same night as the booking at a discount, and do it for more than one hotel chain.
But if they did, I bet they could clean up. And with the advent of mobile smart-phones paired with the public’s already having accepted booking flights on the world wide web, could you not see people driving to the airport and booking a standby flight on the “GoStandby” smart-phone app instead of the hassle of waiting in line at the ticket counter with every one else? I could see that easily. Let’s make it happen.
Do you operate an antique show and so found this letter and offer because you were looking for an advertising opportunity online for your business? If so, I’m confident you can monetize one of our company’s premium category-defining domain names much better than I can. Right now, as you can see temporarily, AntiqueShows.com is ‘linked’ to a copy of this joint venture offer letter…but only until we receive a promising application from you or your competitors in the business to become our joint venture partner to share in the profits developing a business here can bring…or else when the right company or organization happy to pay an affordable monthly fee in exchange for the exclusive rights to develop this domain name into a profit-making business.
For years,when 1000+ annual type-in traffic visitors view our website, all they’d find is a bunch of “click advertisements” for other websites that aren’t even usually relevant to what they’re looking for…and that just ain’t right, is it? Is it reasonable to believe that a LOT more money can be made by my company working with another business that’s already set up to serve these potential customers and give them a real platform to truly find what they’re looking for? Maybe your company!
eFurniture.com is in my opinion the best of the best “brandable” non-generic domain name available for a furniture business to use as its online presence. I have no trouble conceiving that domain name as the call-to-action in a television commercial running during Super Bowl Sunday’s famous game.
It’s short, snappy, memorable, and perfectly descriptive for your business if you’re in furniture sales. I don’t know if the company that grabs this exclusive JV opportunity to operate this premium domain name as one of the eRealEstate Family of Sites saleswill be a manufacturer looking to ‘cut out the middle man’ and sell online direct to consumer, or a large-scale retail furniture sales operation with many locations nationwide that wants to beef up its online presence and lead generationcapabilities…but either way, as a long-time furniture sales guy myself— ask me about the thousands of hotel keys and keycards in my collection from traveling a 10,000-mile sales route selling furniture to retail stores earlier in my business career— it’ll be exciting to find out! This domain name, like others, is even available for leasing at an affordable monthly rate…with no need to share in your profitable upside, as our qualified joint venture partners do in exchange for our allowing them to use our domains with no cost or risk.
Thousands of type-in traffic visitors hit Delray.com each year. Can you sell advertising to local businesses to help them acquire and service these customers? Does it excite you to have the most valuable domain name “.com” on the internet for an entire city? When these visitors hit our website today all they find is a bunch of “click advertisements” for other websites that often aren’t even relevant to the geographic location. Don’t you think you could do better? Prove it when you lease or joint venture develop this domain name!
What about VirtualDecorator.com? Think there’s a market for that potential brand new category-dominating domain name in branding a virtual internet business that offered information products, consulting, tips, and products related to interior decorating? Could this domain name be paired with a new software product that allowed new homeowners to upload their house blueprints, and then in 3D imagery, manipulate suggested decorations (all of which could be bought from your company or affiliated companies that will pay you a commission) by moving things around, adding furniture and décor items, and in a virtual environment decorating their dream home in just the way they’ll want to duplicate in their physical home? I believe that will happen. There are a few major dollar home décor companies that might have a product coming out soon that would fit this model like a hand in a glove. Perhaps your company can put your writing on the wall first and snatch market share online when you secure the rights to develop this domain name?
Have you ever bought or sold an income property? If so, there’s a good chance that your research and activities in preparation to buy or sell included searching on Google for the phrase “income property” just like 135,000 others every month, right? If your real estate business specializes in working with investors that own income property, then let me tell you that I believe operating IncomeProperty.com could be THE best branding and lead generation move you make in your business this decade. It doesn’t take an MBA to realize that these customers are a potential GOLD MINE treated properly, if a company is ALREADY working with investor clients to buy and/or sell income property, with all of the knowledge, experience, infrastructure, deal sourcing relationships and legal set-up needed to do business in multiple geographic areas buying, selling and investing in income property with clients. This domain name married to the right company can result in TENS OF MILLIONS of dollars in new revenue when considering the lifetime value of these first-time income property clients. Grab the opportunity to use it while you can with an affordable monthly lease fee, or else by applying to be chosen as our no-cost, no-risk joint venture partner to profits realized by development and monetizing this domain name.
How? Because almost every domain name mentioned in this letter is (or was) available for use by a new member in the eRealEstate Family of Companies and Websites that you can join with an affordable monthly leasing fee OR as a qualified and chosen applicant for the no cost and no risk joint venture development opportunity where we split profits.
Remember … our company is in the TRAFFIC business, and not the business of organizing tradeshows, delivering videos, manufacturing or selling the cheapest products, developing website widgets, hosting dating personals ads, selling jewelry like cubic zirconia, or running a handicapping gambler advice practice (though some of these sound like fun ways to make a living). Same thing goes for the other (50) or so industries in which we have consistent, daily DEMAND looking for someone to supply products and services these prospects want to BUY NOW.
That’s why ONE company in these industries and many others will win the opportunity to joint venture with our company and split profits selling their products and services to these prospects, or enter into a domain leasing arrangement for the exclusive development rights for their chosen domain name among our portfolio.
Some of our domain names provide enough traffic “as-is” to build an entire new business around with no need for ANY additional marketing effort or expense trying out other advertising options! Some of these keyword-rich domain names can easily give a brand new startup business enough prospects to sell, make money, and get off the launch pad…at which point, they can invest some time and money setting up additional marketing methods. Some of our domains have amazing brandable category-defining words that confer credibility, memorability, and perceived market leadership upon any business using it, increasing the effectiveness of any advertising done using that website domain name. But every single one of them is an ASSET!
NOTE: The “domain leasing” deal scenario is the only real exception to the “no cost, no risk” verbiage you’ve seen throughout this offer letter. If you are selected for the domain name sales and fulfillment partnership joint venture, there is no cost and no risk to become a member of the eRealEstate Family of Sites and use your chosen domain name because we will benefit when your company makes money in a pay-for-performance fashion. If instead you choose to lease one of our domain names because you are confident in your company’s success using this asset and do not want to share profits, OR if you apply as a joint venture partner and are not accepted, then there will be an affordable monthly fee to use one of our domain names and you keep the profits. Domainnames listed on JointVentures.com with a MONTHLY LEASE PRICE are in MOST cases available ONLY for leasing or leasing with option to buy and not partnership joint ventures...but it never hurts to ask via a full partnership application.

= All types of deals.
I’m very proud of the growing number of independently run websites and companies that lease one of our premium domain names for an affordable monthly fee, or else partner with us in exchange for a percentage ownership and/or royalty income in a no-cost, no-risk joint venture.
Current JV partners and firms that lease our domain names have said that their decision to do business with our company was among the very best actions they took in the entire history of their business— whether they pay an affordable monthly fee to build their company’s online presence on one of our premium websites (i.e. “lease”)… or whether they instead pay us a percentage of sales, royalty, or provide company equity in exchange for the opportunity with no up-front cost and no risk (i.e. “joint venture”).
We welcome your application for joint venture, or your inquiry about domain leasing.

Sound familiar?
Here’s an early 1865 map of Manhattan island in New York City:
There are VACANT LOTS all over the place!
To return to our analogy of the similarities between physical real estate and “internet real estate” (aka domain names and the various building improvements one can add to increase their value and income potential)…right now, on most of our portfolio of keyword-rich domain name properties we basically have vacant lots that we’ve turned into the digital equivalent of billboards or parking lots that bring in income from “click advertisements” every day like clockwork.
But in my opinion, even with millions in income from this division of our business, these “internet parking lots” are the equivalent of vacant land in early 20th century Manhattan just waiting to be developed.
Acres and acres of lucrative Internet dirt just waiting for someone to build something magnificent upon.
I mean, think about it.
Here is a screenshot of what Property.com looked like according to the “WayBackMachine” internet archive, back when I owned it by myself with no domain partners operating and developing the "property".
If you guessed that this looks just like one of those “domain parking” websites, filled with nothing but ‘click advertisements’, you guessed right! I’ve used these simple website designs on so many of our company’s undeveloped websites for many years, earning many millions of dollars. Pretty much a digital billboard, right?
Would you believe that every day about 1000 people from around the world would type that domain name in to their internet browser bar to navigate directly to a one-word generic URL they didn’t even know whether it was there or not?
Before I made a deal with a company that exchanged $4,000,000 in stock for the rights to own and develop that highly valuable category-dominating domain name, it earned me up to $35 per day without me lifting a finger, just from all of that hands-off advertising revenue from when visitors clicked on those simple advertising links.
Property.com has always been one of my favorite domain names.
When you think about it, technically ‘Property’ refers to anything and everything that can be owned by someone. Of course, the meaning that has the most value is in the housing market, as “property” is synonymous to and in some countries internationally outside the United States, even more widely used than the term “Real Estate”.
And just how big is the “Real Estate” aka “Property” market worldwide? It’s in the TENS of TRILLIONS of DOLLARS every year.
And Property.com is positioned right at the center of that crossroads.
Having read this far with me, I bet you can imagine that the Ivory tower ‘marketing pundits’ thought this deal on the part of my buyer/partner was crazy, right? Yes, they did, just like they did with another I’ll share a success story about in a minute with Candy.com.
As the domain name has continued to be developed into a website and online business capable of producing more real estate leads than any offline real estate office in the world, day in and day out, with relevant and valuable content that gets indexed by search engines and so increases organic traffic, and as the business that did a deal with our company here continues to maximize the value of this underexploited asset domain name . . .
Sure, some of our ‘click advertisement’ parking websites are primitive and ugly, like digital billboards littering the information superhighway…and I am the first to admit that.
But keep two things in mind.
First, a parking webpage of ‘click advertisements’ can be put on a domain name in MINUTES without technical skill and rarely if ever again be touched or modified.
Secondly, these ugly undeveloped “domain parking” websites earn PROFIT every day.
While I have been severely criticized for waiting to develop so many of these internet real estate properties, I believe waiting will become my biggest strength.
At the center of my “waiting” strategy was understanding that the $500,000 website in the 1990s requiring tons of custom coding and development by a specialized team of website coders with a rare and in-demand skillset would be OBSOLETE within years, and in a decade could be reproduced by a template costing just a couple hundred dollars.
As I write this, in the second decade of the 21st century, the cost of web development has come down and down, and many projects can now get underway with minimal costs, taking advantage of “out of the box” templates, licensed designs, private labeling and more. So if YOU knew and believed what I knew and believed in the 1990s, why spend the money then to build websites?
While others are concerned with “branding” and “market share”, my only focus is the dirtiest word in business online: PROFIT — and that original “parking” website of just ‘click advertisements’ sure DID create a profit!
$12,000+ per year without any effort in advertising income is nothing to sneeze at...but it was by no means the best use of such a premium domain name! And nothing like what it has been turned into now as the new operators of the Property.com website have taken that “parking lot” and started to build a skyscraper! Just take a look at what the website on that domain name looks like today . . .
Frankly, here’s my point…with 7,000+ quality domains, many of which create a PROFIT every single day without me lifting a finger from just those simple “click advertisements” on each website (the equivalent of “billboards” or “parking lots”), and a plan to improve each one through leasing and joint ventures over time, each of which done properly can create far more income than simply "click advertisements", my company is positioned to become one of the largest and most important developers on the internet.
Compare our position as “vacant land” owners of internet real estate properties to the largest developer in the real world of physical real estate. To increase profits, we have a lot less machinery, materials, people, injuries, liabilities, red tape, scheduling and zoning issues than a physical real estate development company. We have the choice of “builders” to work with who can help bring our development vision to fruition—and we all profit together.
And our vision is no less magnificent than the vision that transformed vacant land into the Manhattan of today, one of those most developed and populated geographic areas in the entire world.
I see myself as having bought up Times Square when it was vacant. When I arrived . . . it was like a ghost town, barren and empty and MORE than scary. Today, I hear the sounds of a MASSIVE construction project underway. Trucks and cranes and banging and digging and everything else you can imagine.
In the “real” world of physical real estate, if a builder takes 3 years to finish constructing a Sears store on a developer’s land, and it doesn't quite work to create solid profits, as the developer what do you do? You’ve lost a ton of time and money, haven’t you?Not to mention the “opportunity cost” of what you COULD have done if you hadn’t made that mistake!
On the Net, I can joint venture with another “builder” online to fix something that doesn’t quite work to monetize one of my domain name properties with a new idea — often with ONE simple click!!
Because our company owns so very many premium “.com” keyword-rich domain name properties that earn income without us even lifting a finger, we have the luxury of choice…we can work on building ‘skyscrapers’ or ‘shopping malls’ – or not build anything at all. Leasing or not. Partnering or not. Options! A multitude of options…and while I don't have interest to sell my domains, I simply want to bridge a 20 year gap so the majority of business people can see what I see and use the formula I envision to fill in the missing links through domain partnerships and monthly leasing deals with companies that have vision to do something great.
NOTE: The “domain leasing” deal scenario is the only real exception to the “no cost, no risk” verbiage you’ve seen throughout this offer letter. If you are selected for the domain name sales and fulfillment partnership joint venture, there is no cost and no risk to become a member of the eRealEstate Family of Sites and use your chosen domain name because we will benefit when your company makes money in a pay-for-performance fashion.

I am very sensitive not to CREATE WORK!
Any moron can create work.
The most important part of exploring a business opportunity for me is understanding the leverage and the potential return ratio of time involved versus the expected reward.
Getting tied down on one project could derail everything else I am doing. My retirement schedule has always trumped my working schedule. It does to this day. I wake up every day without a job to do. I am not required to do anything specific. I want to be creative and work when I want to work and that’s all. Many times that is 18 hours in a day. Others it is zero hours in a day. But that is SOLELY up to me.
Oil wells pump oil with no labor and little maintenance. The less time needed for me to invest the better. My “parking lot” websites are modeled after oil wells. The “click advertisements” on these stupid-simple “parked websites” pump out cold, hard, spendable cash 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year with no holidays or headaches — whether I’m working or not.
While others may laugh at my underdeveloped “parking lot” websites, over time I have been going to each, one by one, and working through joint venture partners like you to make them prettier, build valuable content on them, and add functionality as the web matures and businesses see the intelligence working together.
As the “developer” land owner in this scenario, I allow folks who want to build what they build and then see what I have that matches up well with what they are doing. I let them lease our domains to use them for their own purposes in exchange for an affordable monthly fee, and keep all the profits…or else apply to become our joint venture sales and fulfillment partners where they put in the work to build a business at this premium internet location, and our company takes a small percentage of the profitable upside without cost or risk to the partner.
Or to use another analogy, these domain leasing or joint venture partner companies put in the work to extract even more oil on my land than already pumps to the surface without effort, sell it and pays me a mineral rights royalty for giving them the opportunity to work the property.
And always, always our goal will be to increase profits.
Profit supersedes all other elements when we joint venture together as partners.
If I told you before you learned what value my company can bring to the table with keyword-rich domains and type-in traffic that our company would partner with you, you’d do all the work and we’d split profits…you might have thought I was a madman, right? You’d have been thinking:
"But Rick, if you’re not going to be ‘working’ to help me, exactly what are you contributing to our partnership to deserve splitting profits?"
It’s about working SMARTER, not just working HARDER.
I believe we live in a world where value exchanged matters more than “effort”, where results are more appreciated than promises, and “working smart” trumps “working hard” when the net effect is the same. Trust me, I worked “hard” to amass my domain portfolio, and to create this opportunity for both of us to work “smarter” doing business together through a lease or joint venture scenario.
And if you somehow allow the seeming ‘inequality of work’ in our domain partnership or domain lease offer prevent you from moving forward, I am sorry that this mental block may hinder you from ever coming close to realizing the potential size, scope, and profits of your business.
No, I won’t be busting my tail to help you once we decide to partner, or once you begin paying each month to lease on of my domain names.
I’ve done my part to add value to our relationship. I ALREADY have your potential customers READY to deliver and ALREADY have your company’s #1 asset moving forward into the 21st century of business online …
Here’s the ONE primary contribution I’ll be making to our business deal, whether it’s a domain lease you pay for each month or a JV development domain partnership without any cost or risk to you: TRAFFIC.
If your business can convert prospect lead flow into sales and profits we can share, we’ll grow together. If not, I’ll partner with someone else who can. Fair is fair, right? I mean, we know I’m going to uphold MY end of the bargain each and every day giving you the tool to make it rain prospects!
If you apply and are chosen as the company to venture with us from your industry, you can put your business- scaling growth on steroids and start competing with huge companies almost overnight—all with zero cost and zero risk*, simply with a pay-per-performance website partnership leveraging the flood of eager-to-buy prospects our business WILL be sending as targeted-traffic referrals to one company in your industry…why not yours?
And if you don’t want to apply or share in your profits, or don’t mind some risk because you have confidence in your existing sales process, products, and services, we’ve even made it possible for your company to operate and use a superior 6-7 figure value domain name in a lease arrangement in exchange for a very affordable monthly fee, while YOU keep all your profits.
Here’s the deal …
I want you to have access to my prospects and generate for you an unstoppable stream of laser targeted traffic and sales-- all of which I can start sending your way with the simple click of a button…IF you qualify, and IF you are chosen among the companies applying for partnership and inquiring about leasing in your industry …
What are you waiting for?
You have nothing to lose and a bigger, sexier, more profitable business to gain…but only if you apply immediately.
(doing just what you’re ALREADY doing now selling your products and
services to interested prospects…just doing more of it)

Congratulations! You’ve ventured this far into my world with me, and right now just with what you’ve learned here you already have a competitive knowledge advantage over 99% of the business world who is still “asleep at the wheel”.
You’ve been given a basic but thorough education on the powerful but little-known marketing strategy that’s provided hundreds of savvy companies both big and small with a long-term prospect-generating, sales-driving, business-enhancing asset often for a one time investment.
Having read the last 3 pages of JointVentures.com, you’re now aware of an advantage that makes the ongoing costs of traditional “impression-based” branding and advertising that produce time-limited lead generation results seem almost silly.
Cross your fingers for luck, reach for your checkbook and take a DEEP BREATH…because even IF in today’s market you COULD duplicate in your industry what I’ve already done, in order to accomplish it you’ll likely be writing one of the biggest (if not THE biggest) checks you’ve ever written. And that estimate holds true even if you bought your office or warehouse space outright, which can be one of the biggest capital expense purchases any business ever makes.
That bears repeating…
To accomplish for yourself the benefits of type-in traffic and keyword-rich domain names in your industry (again, even if it COULD be accomplished) comparable to what I can do for you will easily cost you more than buying a nice-sized office or warehouse space for your business outright.
Many of the absolute best “.com” keyword-rich domain URLs for any and all industries are ALREADY owned by companies like ours, who had the foresight to register these domain names and stake a claim on this ‘internet real estate’ as early as the late 1990s. Other industries have seen one or two of the leading companies in that niche invest millions of dollars to acquire these valuable internet real estate properties, just like the dozens of mega-billion-dollar companies profiled earlier.
This explains why the common small business owner has little chance of buying premium keyword-rich domain name URLs for their business for as little as the $10 normal domain registration fee. Somebody beat you to it, owns the domain names you would want to have, and even if they’d sell to you will only do so for a HUGE profit.
There are only a few prime keyword-rich domain names really worth owning and/or operating for each business industry or category.
Either your company or your competitors will seize the advantage of using these domain name URLs to generate new leads and business.
If you’re reading this information, YOU have the opportunity to operate an income-producing domain name with an affordable monthly leasing fee…or in joint venture with our company, an opportunity that will ring your business cash register month in and month out – with no upfront or ongoing costs – for a very reasonable share of revenue and a bit of effort and time to apply and convince our team that we should choose your company over your competitors.

Lead your industry the same way these major billion-dollar businesses do, and level the playing field with your bigger competitors who missed the boat. This is exactly the advantage doing business with our company offers.
That's right...every one of these big billion-dollar multi-national conglomerates own and operate their internet presenceusing the power of premium keyword domains...just like the ones owned by our company, available domains for YOU as the newest member in the eRealEstate Family of Websites to use to play in the big leagues of business.
Listen…Honestly, I KNOW this letter and peek into our world has excited you with the tremendous opportunity available on today’s internet for smaller businesses to leverage the power of keyword-rich domains and type-in traffic to “leapfrog” the bigger, slower, dumber companies in their niche.
If you’re anything like the thousands of business owners and marketing executives with which I’ve had this very same educational dialogue in person, on the phone, at conferences, via email and through online forums in the last 15 years or so, you may be a little disappointed to learn the truth that “doing it yourself” is pretty unrealistic.
Like some others I’ve spoken to, you may be feeling like you “missed the boat”?
Don’t feel that way! Instead, look at it this way: “A rising tide lifts all boats”.
You can hop on our boat and still catch the wave.
You can get angry or you can be sad…or you can just consider it a cost of doing business to let our company make a reasonable residual profit on our investment and foresight to register these valuable domain names long before you realized you wanted them.
FACT: In business, you don’t need to own or control something to benefit from it, as long as someone else has it. You just need to give them a very good reason to share it with you.
That is the key to successful JV’s: you have to give in order to get. That’s exactly what will happen whether we do business together through a domain partnership or a domain lease arrangement.
Owners Joseph Melville and his cousin Greg Balestrieri from the Melville Candy company were adamant that the future of their business growth would come from online sales of candy, and they recognized that the cornerstone of building an online empire starts with the perfect domain name. It just so happened that the domain name they wanted had already been acquired by our company.
They believed that by using Candy.com as the internet location for their business, they could become the “world’s corner candy store”.
While the domain name with just a “parking website” was very profitable for me in earning “click advertisement” income, I knew that an established company in the candy industry would be easily capable of monetizing the domain name and its traffic plus potential to a MUCH higher level than what I’d managed.
Just for nostalgia’s sake, here’s a screenshot of what Candy.com looked like as a “domain parking” webpage way back when I alone operated this domain name without any partners …
Just a bunch of “click advertisements” to other websites in the candy industry, all of which when clicked on by a visitor would make us a few cents. Nothing fancy, but it did make a great profit, and every day without fail!
The Melville Candy company initially offered me a million dollars to purchase the domain name, and I honestly told them that I regularly received million dollar offers that were turned down, and that my desired price for a sale transaction would be $3.5 million.
We negotiated, talked the deal through over 6 weeks or so, and came to an agreement that both parties were happy enough with to put it in writing.
I took a small % equity stake in their company and $3,000,000 in cash and in exchange they got full ownership to Candy.com in a sales transaction.
I mean, after all, you can’t see, hear, taste, smell or touch an intangible domain name property— and now this company was going to invest $3 million dollars plus give shares in their business in order to acquire a domain name? Journalists and ‘business experts’ weighed in with scorn at Melville’s decision, second-guessing them in public.
Why not invest instead in a bigger distribution warehouse? A more modern candy manufactory? A bigger office headquarters capable of providing room for expansion? Research and development costs for a new and exciting product line kids would love? You know…something you could actually see and touch?
And yet the buyers were happy with what they considered a HUGE move in securing their company’s growth in its category online, and estimated that “the new venture will be profitable in 12 months, making all those millions a small price to pay for the chance to corner the market on candy distribution.”
It’s capitalism at its finest, folks. Party A and Party B get together, exchange items of value each to the other, and everybody walks away from the deal happier than they were before doing business.
How happy are the Melville candy owners with the deal for Candy.com that allowed them to realize their dream of being the “world’s candy corner store? Did they in fact manage to make back their investment since that 2009 deal was completed?
I think the results speak for themselves. The critics were wrong. This deal has in fact proven to deliver “sweet success” to Melville Candy company with the company “…on pace to gobble up almost $6 million in sales this year…” according to recent news stories about the company’s continued success.
Was the domain name acquired from me the sole determinant in the increase in revenue for this business? Of course not. Traffic alone is not as valuable as what you do with it!
With over 6000 different items for sale on their web store, they were committed to absolutely exploiting the highest profit potential from every possible website visitor — something a “domain parking” website with little advertisements taking visitors to other companies’ links could never accomplish.
And in my mind, it’s such a great deal because our company not only got to profit from the sale of Candy.com once, but with our equity stake I profit residually from their candy sales, and I also get to feel like I contributed in building something truly beautiful. I mean, just LOOK at what these business owners have done with this premium internet real estate property!
You don't need to spend more and more cash testing advertising…
You don't need an SEO genius...
You don't need a massive existing customer database
You don't need to line up top strategic partnerships
You don't need a "killer copywriter"...
You don't need a technical "whiz-kid"...
You don’t need a fancy office...
You don't need lawyers and accountants…
I have already done the hard part. I have spent a lot of money putting together legal contracts for earlier deals like Property.com and Candy.com, and smaller deals like Luv.com or Punchbowl.com— 6 figures and more to put in place the structural framework not just for these deals but all the deals to come. These deal agreements give me the protection I need to be a part of each of my domains forever, and offer a way for me to do business with big established companies, as well as offer ambitious entrepreneurs with passion and good ideas a way forward to build something magnificent with “Sweat Equity”.
Blueprints both for a “joint venture” where our company participates in your profitable upside without any upfront cost or risks to you; as well as blueprints for a “domain lease” where your company pays an affordable monthly fee for the exclusive right to develop and use one of our domain names as the new online home for your business, while in that scenario you keep all the profits.
We work with brand new startup companies that have a great idea they want to launch, and even entrepreneurs who don’t yet even HAVE an idea yet until they realize one of our domain names and traffic sources is available for partnership and they create a plan to source or create products and services they can sell to our prospects.
Look, I know about doing things “lean” as a start-up business. I started investing in domain names on a credit card.
Before that, I boot-strapped a profitable and efficient home business selling lighting equipment with no employees run in the early 1990s out of a 10 x 10 bedroom, a business that was later sold for over 7 figures. Few people seeing how I live today would believe me when I tell them the story of starting that business on a hope and a prayer and an international trip to China to find a direct supplier (a trip I couldn’t afford but absolutely had to make to give myself a chance).
So yeah, I like working with hungry people looking to take control of their own future.
We also work with established businesses both large and small that are already offering products and services to a certain target market, and we offer them an additional pay-per-performance source of targeted prospects they can monetize by selling to these folks via joint venture – or else just let them lease the premium “.com” name domains from us for a reasonable monthly fee and build whatever they want, confident that their profits will stay in their own pockets.
In creating all of these joint venture deals and bringing in new members into the eRealEstate Family of Sites, we’re looking to make it a win-win for everyone. While the terms of each deal are unique, there ARE a few components that might potentially become part of the working agreement we’ll create with your company.
We structure a pay-per-sale deal where your business makes a sale to one of our traffic referrals and only then after profiting do you pay us a healthy commission percentage on the sale. It’s affiliate marketing at its finest. No risk for you, no hassle for us. Everything is fully tracked so honesty and transparency is key to maintain the relationship.
We structure a pay-per-lead deal where your business gets traffic referrals as click-throughs to your website. You work on closing the deal with these website visitors and get all/most of the profits, as we are paid an agreed upon amount just for delivering you the qualified lead online. We may choose this type deal if we have questions about your existing sales process (i.e. concerns that you may not be able to close sales through effective e-commerce), so we are guaranteed to get paid for doing what we said we’d do even if you cannot sell effectively. You may prefer this kind of arrangement if you know your existing prospect-to-sale conversion metrics from qualified online prospects so well that you feel confident that it’ll cost you less to pay us a reasonable amount per online lead rather than sharing a greater percentage of the sale proceeds.
We structure a pay-per-call deal where your business gets prospect referrals as live phone calls to your sales staff. We accomplish this by hosting on one or more of our premium domains in your industry category some information about the products and services available for your business paired with a strong call-to-action for website visitors to call you right now for more information or to make a purchase. You work on closing the deal with these callers and get all/most of the profits, as we are paid an agreed upon amount just for delivering you the qualified lead via phone call. We may choose this type deal if we have questions about your existing sales process (i.e. concerns that you may not be able to close sales on the phone), so we are guaranteed to get paid for doing what we said we’d do even if you cannot sell effectively. You may prefer this kind of arrangement if you know your existing prospect-to-sale conversion metrics from qualified incoming phone calls so well that you feel confident that it’ll cost you less to pay us a reasonable amount per phone call lead rather than sharing a greater percentage of the sale proceeds.
We structure a pay-per-performance plus barter deal where your business gets prospect referrals as click-throughs to your website and/or live phone calls to your sales staff, and in exchange we receive monetary compensation from one or more other deal scenarios PLUS additional valuable consideration in the way of “barter” good for free products and services produced by your company. Clearly, this scenario is not feasible for all potential deals, but it never hurts to look at the possibility— and let’s be honest, anything that adds value to us as your partners without taking cash out of your pocket is something to seriously consider.
We structure an equity stake deal where your business gets prospect referrals as click-throughs to your website and/or live phone calls to your sales staff, and in exchange we receive monetary compensation from one or more other deal scenarios PLUS equity shares in your company so that as your business grows so too does the value of our small ownership percentage. This kind of deal can be very attractive to both parties if your business is a “start-up” that doesn’t need operations funding so much as initial marketing help to make sales capable of paying for your business growth. There’s no cost up front to start sending these referrals your way, and our equity stake is worth nothing if your business does not grow. You’ve heard of “venture capital”, right? Well, we have significant “clicks capital” we can invest in your idea if it’s good enough and we believe in your ability to make sales and build a company.
We structure a monthly lease deal where your business gets the full rights and opportunity to develop any improvements you want on one or more of our domain name properties, funneling the traffic prospects wherever and however you choose into your sales process. We do not participate in your profits, do not receive any equity in your company, and nor do we get paid a per lead fee or per call fee. In this scenario, your company pays us a flat monthly fee to lease use of the domain name from us to use as you wish. Some established companies looking to enjoy the benefits of using one or more of our keyword-rich domains in their niche may prefer this kind of deal, and like the idea of keeping all of the profits to themselves.
NOTE: The “domain leasing” deal scenario is the only real exception to the “no cost, no risk” verbiage you’ve seen throughout this offer letter. If you are selected for the domain name sales and fulfillment partnership joint venture, there is no cost and no risk to become a member of the eRealEstate Family of Sites and use your chosen domain name because we will benefit when your company makes money in a pay-for-performance fashion. If instead you choose to lease one of our domain names because you are confident in your company’s success using this asset and do not want to share profits, OR if you apply as a joint venture partner and are not accepted, then there will be an affordable monthly fee to use one of our domain names and you keep the profits.
We’ll be able to determine when you complete and submit your application which scenario(s) or combination of terms will work best for us to structure an agreement that is win-win for both parties— because “win-win” is exactly what we are looking for here!
After all, I prefer the deals that have the potential to benefit both your company and mine not just once, not just for a year, but for DECADES (so if your thinking is small or short-term, we probably would not be a good ‘fit’ to do business together).
Are you ready to step in the ring and challenge your competitors for leadership of your niche online? Are you ready to harness the amazing benefits you’ve read about in this letter and put them to work building your business? Are you ready to stop depending on Google to provide your traffic? Are you ready to build something great on the perfect vacant internet property that can earn us both a virtual fortune once fully developed?
Don’t hesitate! Apply NOW for this exclusive limited-time opportunity.
Let me cut to the chase in case you think there’s a “catch” here somewhere.
I may not be Bill Gates or Michael Dell, but I do make A LOT of money on the Internet.
In fact, last month I probably made 20X what most people will earn in an entire year.
And yet it’s just the tip of the iceberg of what is possible for my company.
I’m not greedy. I know that in order to achieve more I need to surround myself with good people and help them achieve more too.
It’s the “Law of Income” like we discussed earlier.
If you're here reading this webpage, you were attracted here for a reason.
And all things being equal, I’d like to work with people I like and can even become friends with as we profit together, so I hope that part of the reason you’re here is that you’re a fun, creative, likable and trustworthy person …
But all warm and fuzziness aside, let’s get real for a minute.
Am I doing this for money? ABSOLUTELY! …but I also get to see entrepreneurs succeed at a higher level and that is just about the most fun thing in the world for me.
This is foundational to our business model being successful.
And that’s where YOU come in…
As the owner of a business that can monetize keyword-rich domains and the type-in traffic above and beyond what my current income strategy of “domain parking” earns and up to their highest and best use—by selling and fulfilling products and services to the prospects looking to buy in your industry.
And as we’ve mentioned, if you’re selected as the ONLY company in your niche industry to partner with us, this exclusive no-risk opportunity will not cost you a dime up front*to put your products and services in front of our prospects to close the sale.
Once we agree to the terms of a deal, we’ll execute the domain(s) to forward or have the name servers pointed to generate leads for your business.
So when someone types in one of our website domain names into their internet browser, the internet user won’t a webpage full of “click advertisements”, but instead will get redirected right to your company’s lead generation website and/or sales funnel.
These valuable internet prospects looking for what you sell will be yours to turn into customers…IF you can!
A “3 month pilot program” works well because 90 days is plenty of time for us to show you the IMPACT we can make on the growth of your business…and likewise,
Yep, if you can’t sell or aren’t organized, we reserve the right to pull the plug on any joint venture website partnership opportunity and offer it to another company that has their stuff together, or else insist that your only option to do business with our company will require a monthly leasing fee that removes our financial risk from the equation. When our joint venture partner companies get flooded with new prospects, they MUST know how to turn those leads into buying CUSTOMERS, track the progress in a transparent fashion, and pay us our share of the PROFITS without any headaches or hand-holding. Otherwise, a domain lease with monthly fee is the only option.
I actually prefer to focus on the long-term deals — creating a lifelong income stream for everyone involved (all I ask is that our new partners PROVE themselves first!)
NOTE: The “domain leasing” deal scenario is the only real exception to the “no cost, no risk” verbiage you’ve seen throughout this offer letter. If you are selected for the domain name sales and fulfillment partnership joint venture, there is no cost and no risk to become a member of the eRealEstate Family of Sites and use your chosen domain name because we will benefit when your company makes money in a pay-for-performance fashion. If instead you choose to lease one of our domain names because you are confident in your company’s success using this asset and do not want to share profits, OR if you apply as a joint venture partner and are not accepted, then there will be an affordable monthly fee to use one of our domain names and you keep the profits. Domainnames listed on JointVentures.com with a MONTHLY LEASE PRICE are in MOST cases available ONLY for leasing or leasing with option to buy and not partnership joint ventures...but it never hurts to ask via a full partnership application.

With the exception of those companies that wish to pay us upfront and each month a “domain leasing fee” to use one of our domain names … becauseof the unique nature of keyword-rich domains and our preference to choose one company in each industry to become our sales and fulfillment partner supplying products and services to our customer demand, you must understand that this offer of a no-cost, no-risk joint venture opportunity is extremely limited only to those companies that apply and qualify.
Every single month our company receives on average 300 inquiries from people who want to buy my domain names (sorry, selling doesn’t interest me) or with an idea to develop one of them or partner with me.
What does that tell you?
I could create a new partnership every day of the week if I wanted to…but…I don’t.
I know the optimal number of companies I want to have as partners and I also know my own personal preference is to do business with people who have their $#!& together, and can set everything up to limit my own time involvement in any deal.
That’s right…like I stated before, any ‘work’ required of me and I’m just not interested in a deal! I can inject a flood of traffic and new prospects into your sales funnel, and it’s YOUR job to sell and fulfill for these customers.
Did you know that in certain African tribal societies since time immemorial, it has been tradition to work, eat, play, and live communally with just 100-120people who helped and supported each other to survive?
Whenever the group outgrew that number, parts of the tribe became separate tribes because anything bigger than that threshold was too big.
This group, too, is limited to just a small number of businessmen and businesswomen chosen to join our “tribe” — or “family” as I often call it.
In the modern world where a professional website and slick business cards can give surface-level credibility to a bum, anyone in business has rightfully become skeptical — even cynical at times — about whom we involve ourselves with since we are wary of the scam artists and wanna-be's …
And with an average of over 300 monthly inquiries about purchasing or partnering on our domain names, you can imagine that not everyone who applies is chosen. Most fail the initial filtering tests we have in place to prove who's full of crap. The mediocre majority have no real business, nor any real business plan. Just a hope and a penchant for trying to waste people's time...including their own.
What kind of domain partners are we excited to work with?
To be considered, you and your business must be:
Positive: This partnership is not for wimps, whiners, or complainers. Negative people are infectious and we have no place for them. Clear enough?
Honest: When we create a joint venture together, we’ll set up systems that provide full transparency so both parties know what’s happening with leads, calls, sales and profits. Your business is your business, and remains your business — we just ask that you be worthy of our trust in partnering, and keep your word on promises made to us. That’s fair, right? Again, this transparency is more important in the joint venture deals where there’s no cost and no risk to you, but our compensation is based on your revenue performance so the risk is for us; the exception is a leading deal where you’ve got ‘skin in the game’ paying a monthly fee for the same exclusive opportunity our domain partners get without cost or risk in exchange for the profit sharing trade-off.
Organized: All things being equal, we only want to deal with companies that have their “stuff together”, know what they’re doing and execute their role in our partnership with no hassles or headaches for us. Every lead we send you will be tracked by your company, and a full report provided to us of the disposition of that lead (with the exception of course of domain leasing deals, where you keep all the profits).
Ethical: At the end of the day, we sleep well with a clear conscience that we treat people fairly and do not take advantage of anyone. While we’ll limit our legal liability with appropriate paperwork stating that the referrals we pass along are your customers and your responsibility, the principle that we only want to deal with companies that give a damn about their customers is important to us. If you’re a quick-buck artist who cuts corners and is always trying to get one over on customers to make money, this is not for you.
Non-spammer: Domain names such as ours are very valuable pieces of property, and just like a house where a crack dealer sets up shop and ruins a house or neighborhood's value for years, certain activities in marketing such as spammy email marketing or “black-hat” SEO tactics can do long-term damage to a domain name. We do not practice that crap ourselves, and will not tolerate those kinds of shady activities from our domain partners and lessees. Again, this goes back to your intent…is it to make a quick buck and who gives a damn? Or is it, like us, to consistently profit for the long term?
Proven: You should already have your sales process down pat before it makes sense for us to invest our traffic in a joint venture. Our leads and referrals aren’t going to be sent to a company that cannot close sales, period. We are only looking for partners that have a proven sales process, and know how to convert prospects into customers. A business plan with no profits is no business plan. I rate partner websites for "profitability" and closing the sale.....NOTHING else counts! Nothing happens on this planet until a sale is made. If you want to pay us a monthly fee to lease one of our domain names and still can’t make sales, that would be foolish…but if we’re doing a JV deal where we take all of the risk, with no cost or risk on your side and a plan to split profits, it’s only fair that we insist that your business take the advantages we’re inputting into the website partnership equation and actually MAKE SALES to earn profits to split, right?
Independent: Deals we get into have to leverage the keyword-rich domain names and type-in traffic resources that we have, without requiring much time involvement on our part. That means we’re not going to hand-hold you. You need to know what to do for your own business, and consider what we’re doing together as just an additional prospect source for which you do the same things you already do to turn those folks into customers...with just the added task for our joint venture partners of giving us a report and our cut of the profits.
Focused: The business world is full of people who talk a big game but can’t be counted on to follow through on anything they say. In our experience, many times it isn’t lack of intent, lack of integrity, or lack of ability…but simply lack of focus. If you’re one of those people who scatters their entrepreneurial attentions in a million different directions, chasing shiny objects all over the place, do us both a favor and take a pass. We’re looking for people who are on point so to speak, and if you’re not and still somehow get chosen to JV with us after applying, your poor focus abilities will be immediately apparent during the 3 month “pilot program” we work on together. Then we’ll have to cut you loose, wasting your time and ours. So if you don’t know the value of your own time, or how to focus on a priority like this, don’t waste your time applying.
Ambitious: If you don’t have ambitions of growing your company, this is not for you. Sales takes consistent follow-up, effort day in and day out, the education and nurturing of prospects; not everyone knows how to “squeeze all the juice” out of what they have. The ambitious among us, though, are always looking for ways to improve their results.
Experienced: There’s no penalty for applying if you’re inexperienced or a ‘startup’. We’ve seen amazing ideas and profitable businesses come out of the mind of brand new businesspeople who just don’t know what they don’t know and often, not knowing what’s supposed to be difficult, tackle projects that more ‘experienced’ people believe are too difficult. That being said, as a startup for example, while you may not have experience in the specific business for which you’re applying to joint venture with us, we do want our partners to have some successful experience in business generally. Fair enough? On the other hand, qualifications to lease one of our premium websites for an affordable monthly fee is much less strict than for applicants to the joint venture program…because in a domain leasing scenario, we’re not alone in taking the risks. Make sense?
Likable: Don’t get me wrong. We’re doing these joint ventures primarily for the money. But many of our joint venture relationships create the need for us to communicate a few times per month during our business together. And frankly, life is too short to deal with unpleasant people. Plus, when we host an annual cruise or trade show for you and some of our other domain leasing companies and joint venture partners to get together and mastermind, no one wants to hang out at the pool with a stick in the mud!
Long-Term Thinker: Like we mentioned earlier, we actually prefer to focus on the long-term deals — creating a lifelong income stream for everyone involved (all we ask is that our new JV partners PROVE themselves first!). Short-term thinking leads to cutting corners and unnecessary risks. Let’s do things right and profit for the long-term together. How would you like us to send you referrals for the next couple decades? We can plant that seed just as soon as you apply today for the no-cost, no-risk joint venture partner opportunity, or else inquire about your chosen domain name’s monthly leasing rates.
Leader: If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times: there has never been more opportunity and less leadership in the world than there is today. Owning or operating a strong premium “.com” keyword-rich domain name in your field provides almost instant credibility and respect as a perceived market leader: people know you’re a serious player and it conveys trust, financial stability, and reliability in the mind of consumers and other businesses with whom you might do business worldwide. But no matter what the positive advantages, only a leader can lead. Otherwise, the market will see your true colors quickly. That’s why we select our eRealEsate Family of Sites partners with an eye towards choosing those that demonstrate leadership.Because we feel confident they’ll be able to take the ball and run with it!
Profit-Oriented: Profit supersedes all other elements. While we often become friendly with our joint venture partners, if we’re doing our part to provide qualified leads to you our partner, we don’t believe it’s too much to ask that you be able to make sales, create profits, and make sure we get paid.
NOTE: This is the #1 reason we decline many joint venture applications because there’s just too much risk for us and none for you…remember, with NO WORK AT ALL, our domain names ALREADY earn us income every single day already through those “click advertisements”. And for us to change that, there MUST be more profit potential by doing business with your company to build and monetize the domain instead. If we feel your plan submitted via application is not profit-oriented, your company will have to “pay to play” as your only option will become a domain leasing arrangement with an agreement to pay a monthly leasing fee to operate the domain name of your choosing.
By now, you should know what kind of people we are talking about, right?
Winners, of course.
Like you perhaps?
Let me amend that and see if you don't agree with me.
This is the “tribe” I’m forming with the eRealEstate Family of Sites and Companies. This is the select group of businessmen and businesswomen LEADERS who will profit in partnership with me (and with each other).
If you like what you hear…
NOW is the time.
THIS is the time to do great things. THIS is the time to put yourself out there and try something new. THIS is the time to allow your company to become great. There is a window of opportunity that is OPEN. I don’t know how long it will last.
My gut says about a year. Maybe a bit less, maybe a bit more.
When it does close, it will close fast and without notice.
The greatest opportunity your business might ever have to establish leadership in your industry will be gone and simply a memory.
Don’t hesitate! Apply NOW for this exclusive and limited time opportunity

Most small business owners would give anything to be able to create instant, overnight, risk-free revenue. They'd love it if someone just handed them more customers on a silver platter!
That’s the coveted opportunity ONE company in your industry will get when they are selected for joint venture partnership with our firm.
While others lack vision and patience to follow through, I have found that one step at a time will get you anywhere you want to go. I believe if you do something right and you do every step of it the right way, the chances are good that the result will be right. No guarantees…but the odds of your success go up exponentially.
That automatically puts you in the top 5% of the people on the planet and that is a great starting point. That is enough to start EVERY day with a smile on your face, a “can-do” attitude and to know how lucky you are to be doing what you are doing.
Ready to convince us YOURS is the joint venture partner company we should choose in your niche?
1 - Complete and submit all of the information requested on the application. It won’t take you more than 30-45 minutes to complete the full partner application, so we urge you to get to it right away, while it’s on your mind. If your competitor completes a partnership qualifier application before you, and they look good, we’ll execute the deal with them and you’ll be left out in the cold.
2 - Our JV team will review your completed application within 72 hours of receiving it and you will be notified via e-mail if we’re considering a website partnership with you or not, as well as what questions we have in follow-up.
NOTE: As you probably know from your own experience, email delivery is sometimes mysteriously unreliable… if you do not receive a response from us, please look in your email program’s spam/bulk folder. Our reply might be hiding there, banished by your over-eager filtering software. Or you can call (888) 844-0439 after 72 hours has passed for an answer.
3 - Discovery Interview Call. If your application looks good, Danny Welsh from our JV/leasing team will schedule a 60 minute phone call with you in the next week or so to discuss the terms of a possible deal.
–Rick Schwartz, Chairman & Founder of eRealEstate Family of Sites
This discovery interview call is a chance for us to ask you any other questions we need answers to in order to feel good about moving forward… and we can go over any questions you might have too. If, for some reason, you can’t conduct the phone interview in a timely fashion, we will automatically reject your application and move on to the next competitor in your industry in the queue. This is serious business, and if you’re unorganized or stupid enough not to accord this exclusive and lucrative opportunity the absolute highest-priority, then frankly you don’t deserve it.
4 - Deal or no deal? After this deal-making phone call, you’ll receive a polite decline response if we choose not to work together with you, or if we are interested in moving forward then we’ll send you a confirmation statement and an agreement for a 3 month trial “pilot program” as our joint venture partner.
As an alternative option, we may insist that we are not willing to take on the risk of a joint venture deal without cost or risk to you, and instead provide only the opportunity to lease the domain name you are interested in for a monthly fee we will reveal at that time. The best way to convince us for the JV option is to be thorough and persuasive in the completion of your application materials.
5 - Sign the JV agreement and move into testing. Upon a signed joint venture agreement, we’ll execute the domain forward to your existing website and/or sales process in a “pilot program” during which we will divert a portion of targeted traffic of our customers and prospects looking for what you sell to your company for you to attempt to sell them your products and services.
6 - Become long-term partners (or not). Depending on your monetization abilities in this trial, and the increased revenue our company receives as a profit-share, we’ll decide together whether or not to move forward to a longer term arrangement.
That’s all there is to it for your company to seize this competitive advantage and harness an opportunity to create instant, risk-free revenue gains*and catalyze long-term business growth with this joint venture.
NOTE: Keep in mind, things will work a LITTLE differently for a “domain lease” deal versus a website joint venture, starting with a MUCH LESS STRICT application and qualification process that will only take a minute to complete versus a significant time investment in completing the materials requested for joint venture consideration. After all, your decision to lease the domain and pay the monthly lease fee we negotiate instead of splitting profits makes things simpler for us, removes our risk in working with JV partners, and we accord that “skin in the game” a level of respect. If leasing is your choice, be sure to fill out the simpler leasing inquiry form instead of full partner application.
Frankly, by now you realize that this is truly a no-brainer . . .
But there honestly is no time to waste . . .
There are basically three options:
Do nothing different. Keep on doing the same things you’ve done up until now, and expect different results (this is the true definition of insanity). This option is very expensive and ultimately – nothing changes if nothing changes.
Build your company yourself, being solely responsible for all of your own marketing, fighting every day to find customers and then service them — instead of having customers handed to you on a silver platter. Why do you need us? You can let the “School of Hard Knocks” teach you, right? As discussed, even with what I’ve taught you about keyword-rich domains and type-in traffic, it’s almost impossible for you to duplicate the promotion power our company can send with push-button ease to your company’s sales process by redirecting some of the type-in traffic we already receive from customer prospects looking for what you sell...and even if you COULD accomplish that feat, the acquisition cost of purchasing domain names like mine (if you can find anyone to sell!) might cost you millions of dollars in capital outlay.
I intend to hold a private tradeshow in just 3 years for 100+ different independent companies, made up of our partners and domain lessees. Then we can all have fun, mastermind, celebrate success, and discuss different ways to help each other continue to go to the next level. I hope by that time a “Deal” icon is next to the domain name that you feel is perfect for your business, listed at the beginning of this offer letter, and that yours is among the growing companies there in attendance!
That’s it folks.
There is nothing more.
It’s simple!
Go ahead and apply or inquire right now.
I know you'll IMMEDIATELY be happy you did.
To making more profits,
"The Domain King"®
Business Development, JointVentures.com
P.S. If you're ready to experience what it's like to consistently double, triple, quintuple or even multiple 100x your company’s internet traffic without cost or risk* — and begin converting an avalanche of new customers mere days from today, then it's time to make a decision and apply right NOW!
P.P.S. When I was a kid, I was a fanatic about collecting and trading baseball cards. I must have had tens of thousands of those cards in my huge collection that would have been worth 6 figures easily today — but my mother threw them all out!
LESSON: Value can be created over years and years but profit is often extracted (or lost) in an instant based on changing circumstances and decisions.
If you click away from this webpage without taking action to inquire about an affordable domain leasing agreement OR to apply today, and possibly get selected for our 3 month “pilot program” for new JV partners — and a potential long-term partnership — there’s a very real chance you’ll one day look back on this missed opportunity with a very painful sense of loss the same as I felt when I was never able to cash in on those baseball cards. One company in your niche industry WILL receive this tremendous opportunity and profit…why not make it YOURS?
P.P.P.S Quickly explode your company’s daily lead flow, make more sales every month, and almost effortlessly multiply your profits— with zero cost and zero risk*. Apply now and secure your position as our exclusive eRealEstate Family sales and fulfillment joint venture partner in your niche industry.
Don’t hesitate! Apply NOW for this exclusive limited-time opportunity.
NOTE: The “domain leasing” deal scenario is the only real exception to the “no cost, no risk” verbiage you’ve seen throughout this offer letter. If you are selected for the domain name sales and fulfillment partnership joint venture, there is no cost and no risk to become a member of the eRealEstate Family of Sites and use your chosen domain name because we will benefit when your company makes money in a pay-for-performance fashion. If instead you choose to lease one of our domain names because you are confident in your company’s success using this asset and do not want to share profits, OR if you apply as a joint venture partner and are not accepted, then there will be an affordable monthly fee to use one of our domain names and you keep the profits. Domainnames listed on JointVentures.com with a MONTHLY LEASE PRICE are in MOST cases available ONLY for leasing or leasing with option to buy and not partnership joint ventures...but it never hurts to ask via a full partnership application.

While I have made every attempt to make this letter as comprehensive as possible, I understand that I may have missed something.
Let’s be honest: this is a very unique and extremely ‘out-of-the-box’ arrangement you’ve never before considered…because you’ve never before heard of anything like it. Plus, in a world where it seems everybody seems to want to sell you something requiring you to reach into your pocket to pay upfront for whatever it is, this deal and our joint-venture approach is damned original (and can sometimes set off the “too good to be true” alarm bells in one of our future partner’s heads).
Even if you have questions or aren’t exactly clear how our potential partnership or the domain leasing will work exactly, if you’re excited about the possibilities then I encourage you to still apply/inquire ASAP. There is a section on the application to ask any questions that we may not have answered in this letter. If you are approved for the phone interview, a member of our JV/leasing team will answer any additional questions that you have during that interview.
However, if selected to move to the discovery interview phone call, the purpose of that conversation is NOT to discuss whether this program is “for you” or not. If you’re not sure you want to partner, don’t apply. We have no interest whatsoever on ‘selling’ you on the merits of this joint venture deal beyond the reading of this very transparent offer letter, and therefore will not spend time on the phone reassuring you or convincing you that this is for you.
With 7000+ domain names to increase monetization for, we simply don’t have time to hold your hand.
Not even the New York Yankees can fill Yankee stadium twice a day, every day. Our visitors to our websites can and do, every day.
You can set your watch to the amount of traffic a prime keyword domain will get prior to any development whatsoever and with the sky being the limit once someone goes in to build the domain out to a full website and proper business.Either you see the value in that, plus the many other detailed benefits explained in this candid and thorough letter…or you’re hopeless.
The main purpose of the phone interview is to get a better feel for who you are and what your company is all about…the details that will not come through on an application, and for US to determine if YOUR company is the best fit.
There’s absolutely no reason why you can’t be wildly increasing your profits with this domain lease or joint venture in just a matter of weeks– even days — from submission of your JV application or leasing inquiry till the day we turn on the traffic faucet unleashing a flood of prospects.
But the choice in yours…
Will you finally take that startup idea you’ve talked about and bring it confidently into the world knowing you’ve got a HUGE marketing advantage to get your initial sales and thrust your business off the launch pad?
Will you finally admit that you can’t do it all yourself and seek help in the ONE area (marketing and sales) where success fuels accomplishment and growth in every other area of your business?
Will you finally realize the potential for greatness you know exists in your existing business “if only” you got the right breaks to scale it up to the next level?
Will you apply below, BREAK FREE and finally take control of your company’s future?
Or will you simply shrug this off, continue to struggle trying to implement every new marketing “fad” that comes across your radar, surrender to your competition, and years down the road wonder how different your business (and life) could have been with the consistent internet traffic-on-demand we provide our partners and domain lessees, and could’ve provided you…if you’d only given this simple no-cost, no-risk marketing joint venture*or domain leasing opportunity a try?
Don’t rob yourself of the GREATNESS that could be yours…Take advantage of this opportunity NOW to do business with our company.
Frankly, think about how much it will be worth to you… think about what you’d be able to DO if money, “traffic” and sales just wasn’t a struggle anymore…
NOTE: The “domain leasing” deal scenario is the only real exception to the “no cost, no risk” verbiage you’ve seen throughout this offer letter. If you are selected for the domain name sales and fulfillment partnership joint venture, there is no cost and no risk to become a member of the eRealEstate Family of Sites and use your chosen domain name because we will benefit when your company makes money in a pay-for-performance fashion. If instead you choose to lease one of our domain names because you are confident in your company’s success using this asset and do not want to share profits, OR if you apply as a joint venture partner and are not accepted, then there will be an affordable monthly fee to use one of our domain names and you keep the profits. Domainnames listed on JointVentures.com with a MONTHLY LEASE PRICE are in MOST cases available ONLY for leasing or leasing with option to buy and not partnership joint ventures...but it never hurts to ask via a full partnership application.
