Domain
industry pioneer
and
author of the new best selling book Get
Rich Click!, Marc
Ostrofsky, will be featured on ABC-TV's
morning talk show The View
tomorrow (Thursday, June 9) at 11am
(U.S. Eastern time). His book, years in
the making, has been a big hit, landing
|
|
at
#1 at several leading booksellers including Amazon.com
and Barnes
& Nobles as well as on the New
York Times best sellers list.
Ostrofsky,
whose resume includes selling Business.com
in a $7.5 million transaction that was
the highest on record at the time (1999),
currently runs a portfolio of Internet companies
that reportedly generate over $75 million
in annual sales. The roster includes Blinds.com,
CuffLinks.com, SummerCamps.com, eTickets.com,
MutualFunds.com, Photographer.com,
Consulting.com,TechToys.com, BeautyProducts.com,
Bachelor.com aming others.
Having
a dyed in the wool domain investor/developer
like Marc featured on national TV (and writing
about domains in a best selling book), can't
help but bring increased recognition of
the key role domain names play in Internet
commerce.

Ostrofsky
will actually be the fourth domain
industry figure to be seen on national TV this
year, but the first to be on the tube
talking about how to make money on the Internet.
In March, Domain
Holdings Group Co-Founder John
Ferber was featured in an episode of
ABC's Secret Millionaire series
about generous philanthropists. A couple of
weeks ago David
Sams was spotted in the VIP audience
for the final episode of Oprah
Winfrey's legendary talk show (Sams was part
of the original production team that launched
the Oprah Winfrey Show back in
1986) and last week Braden Pollock of LegalBrandDomains.com
was seen answering questions on the Dr.
Phil Show during an episode
featuring his fiancée Lisa Bloom (the
author of a hot new book - Think: Straight Talk for Women to Stay Smart in a
Dumbed-Down World).
Having
all of these domainers suddenly appearing on TV
I can't seem to get the theme song from The
Jeffersons out of my head -
we're Moving
On Up!

One other
note - the Moniker/SnapNames live
domain auction that was supposed to
be held today at the DOMAINfest
Europe conference in Barcelona,
Spain had to be cancelled due
to technical difficulties that would
have made it impossible for online
bidders to participate. Show organizers
from Oversee.net
plan to reschedule the auction as a web
only event on a date still to be
announced. |
