After Debuting With a Bestseller Author & Domain Pioneer Marc Ostrofsky Returns With Word of Mouse September 10th

Domain industry pioneer and author Marc Ostrofsky hit a home run with his first book - Get Rich Click! - that hit the New York Times Best Sellers List not long after its May 2011 release. With a clear demand for his Internet  advice and expertise firmly established, his publisher, Simon & Schuster, was soon calling for more. So, Ostrofsky went back to the keyboard and the fruits of his labor over the past two years will hit the bookshelves September 10, 2013 when his follow-up,  Word of Mouse, will be released (if you don't want to stand in line, you can pre-order a copy here). 

Sub-titled 101+ Trends in How we Buy, Sell, Live, Learn, Work and Play!, Word of Mouse will provide the  successful serial entrepreneur's advice to consumers and marketers who want to better understand how to leverage technology. Ostrofsky, well-known for selling Business.com in a $7.5 million transaction, has a knack for demystifying and simplifying all things tech as he covers topics ranging from “recommerce” (reselling goods online) and smartphone apps to smart whiteboards for e-learning. 

Author Marc Ostrofsky

Publisher's Weekly noted, "At first glance, the sheer volume of advice can seem too much to tackle, but the book’s straightforward structure makes navigating this potentially intimidating topic easy. Ostrofsky breaks up the text with eye-catching graphics, cartoons, catchy pull-quotes, and includes sections called “Marc my words,” as well as liberally using case studies from companies that benefited from using new technology. For any overwhelmed, overloaded, or intimidated consumers or marketers, this book is a helpful, entertaining, and motivating resource."

The success of Ostofsky's first book led to many high visibility media appearances for him, including national TV, and he consistently used those opportunities to preach the value of good domain names. You can look for more of the same as Marc hits the promotional circuit for the release of Word of Mouse, an event that will help put domains front and center at multiple mainstream media outlets in the weeks ahead.

One other note today, promoter Michael Law has announced the date for the 2013 Rocky Mountain Domain Conference in Denver, Colorado. The 3rd annual edition of the meet-up will be held on Thursday evening, October 17, 2013 beginning at 7pm at a venue still to be announced.
