'Fractional Domaining' Group Formed at Synergy Domain Club

I joined Randy Charach's new Synergy Domain Club (a free-to-join Domainers' Social Network) the other day and just started a "Fractional Domaining" Group there, so I invite all domainers interested in interactive discussions about aspects of Fractional Domaining to join our group!

BTW, other groups formed already include "Geopreneurs" and "Marketing and Monetizing". Since the Synergy Domain Club was just launched 2 weeks ago, now is a great time to be an earlybird and make some domainer friends, perhaps even starting a domaining-related group of your own.

In an industry where networking and relationships can prove valuable, this is a great opportunity to connect with others and perhaps build some life-long friendships.

Take a look at SynergyDomainClub.com. I look forward to "meeting" you there!

How Could Fractional Domaining Impact YOU?

You won't have to be directly involved with Fractional Domaining for this trend to possibly impact you. If more and more domainers begin offering to sell shares of their domains and more and more investors buy-in, adding liquidity to the marketplace and funds for domain development, the growth of the Internet -- and your own domain holdings -- can be dramatically impacted... even if you stay on the sidelines!

The biggest questions, I guess, involve whether you will be one of the major gainers as a result? Or, could your competitors' gains negatively impact you? Do you need liquidity, and would selling fractional interests in your domain(s) help?

Should you explore Fractional Domaining further and get actively involved as a buyer or a seller, or should you "stay on the sidelines" and just watch and accept whatever happens?

I have brainstormed some questions you may wish to ponder now...

  • How will Fractional Domaining Impact Your Site Traffic?

  • Will Fractional Domaining Increase Or Decrease The Value Of Your Domain Portfolio?

  • What Could Fractional Domaining Do For Your Liquidity?

  • What Could Fractional Domaining Do To Help You Spread Your Risk?

  • Would You Be Willing To 'Buy A Fractional Percentage' Of Others' Premium Domains?

  • Would You Be Willing To 'Sell A Fractional Percentage' Of One Or More Of Your Premium Domains?

  • Would Fractional Domaining Hasten Or Slow Your Chances For Domaining Success?

  • Will Fractional Domaining Affect You And Your Business Even If You Don't Personally Get Involved?

Your comments are welcome!

I'm Looking For A Top-Notch 'Fractional Domain Lawyer'...

Some smart entrepreneurial lawyer who specializes in domain name law, intellectual property law, and/or contract law is going to see a potentially-lucrative opportunity in focusing on the niche of legal issues involved with Fractional Domaining... and that's an individual I am interested in starting a dialogue with to discuss possibilities!

For the right person, this could be an opportunity to build a personal business brand as "THE Fractional Domain Lawyer" and to pursue some Fractional Domaining-related projects with me for mutual benefit.

I personally believe that clarifying legal issues and facilitating transactions involving Fractional Domaining are major areas that need to be addressed to enable faster and more substantial growth in this realm of domaining. A lawyer, or lawyers, who effectively identity and help resolve the issues could make a great impact not only upon how fractional relationships evolve, but upon how the Internet itself evolves as a result.

Interested individuals should contact me directly at nvoron (at) voron.com.
