Call For The Best Domain-Related Blog Posts...

I invite members of the domaining community to point me to domaining-related blog posts that you feel are the most insightful, informative, helpful, and inspirational about domaining and about living a successful life.

Once collected and reviewed, I plan to create an anthology (with each blog post writer's permission, of course) that includes inspiring and helpful information for domainers.

Bloggers are welcome to point me to their own posts as well, especially if the posts have generated positive feedback from readers.

Kindly send URL's to me at nvoron (at) voron.com . Please include the words "Best Domaining Blog Posts" in the Subject line. Thank you.

BTW, thanks to those individuals who have replied to my request for domaining-related interview subjects. If you have not replied yet, feel free to do so.

Would Selling A Fraction Of A Domain To A Great Marketer Interest You?

It could be a great WIN-WIN... Your undeveloped or underdeveloped domain(s) matched with the development, monetization, and marketing skills of a great marketer... If you sold fractional interests -- even majority interests -- in one or more of your domains to a great developer/marketer(s) in exchange for some upfront cash, some continued equity, and ongoing income based upon the success of the sites, would it be better for you than having the domains remain as they are or than selling the domain outright?

Or, if you are a proven site developer/marketer who has a successful track record of monetizing sites, would it be worth it to you to acquire fractional interests in some great domain names (and having to share the fruits of your efforts with the seller) versus perhaps having no chance to acquire -- and benefit from -- the names at all?

As domainers talk about reducing the size of their domain portfolios, opportunities to arrange WIN-WIN fractional deals could emerge -- especially if either the seller or the potential buyer suggests such a scenario. For sellers, accepting less cash upfront could ultimately lead to more cash down the road than would have been possible otherwise. For buyers, spending less upfront for acquisition of single domains or domain groups could enable them to leverage their budget and skills over more Internet properties, leading to economies of scale and greater opportunities to bring in new revenues.

No matter whether you are a seller or a buyer of domain names, Fractional Domaining is something you may find is worth considering.
