New
DN Journal Cover Story Profiles Secret Millionaire John
Ferber + More Details on DOMAINfest Europe Show Agenda
Released
|
Yesterday
I
mentioned that I was wrapping up work on a new
Cover Story that would be released today.
That article - The
John Ferber Story: How The Secret Millionaire
Sold His Company for $495 Million and Why He
Loves the Domain Business Now - is
now out and is one I think you will enjoy
reading.
Few
(if any) people in the history of the
domain industry have entered the business
accompanied by the aura of success that
surrounded Ferber when he arrived on the scene
last year as a Co-Founder of Domain
Holdings Group, LLC. Ferber was
already an Internet business star after
selling Advertising.com, the
innovative online marketing company that he
co-founded with his brother Scott, to America
Online for $495 million in
2004.
The
37-year-old Baltimore native
also came with a reputation for being a
humble, good natured guy whose primary mission
in life now was giving back to those
who have been less

fortunate
than he has been. The groundbreaking Microgiving.com website
that Ferber founded caught the attention of ABC-TV
and the network wound up featuring John in
an episode of its hit series Secret
Millionaire in March 2011. While
the nationally broadcast TV show gave viewers a
lot of insight into Ferber's big heart, it
didn't delve into where this inspiring young
entrepreneur came from, how he made his fortune
and where he is headed now. We fill in all
of those details in the new
Cover Story.
