New
Protrada Partnership Promotes Domain Investing +
Larry Fischer & Bill McClure Brew Up New
Business
|
|
While
I was away
covering
the T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
2012 conference at Fort
Lauderdale Beach, Florida I didn't
have a chance to pass along several news items
that crossed our desk during the show's run.
I'll round those up for you in my two or three Lowdown
posts, beginning with this one.
|
|
For
starters, Protrada.com,
who was represented at T.R.A.F.F.I.C. by Founder
& CEO Troy Rushton and Business
Development Manager Louis Munck,
announced a
new partnership with internet marketing
thought leader, coach and teacher, Alex
Mandossian. The partnership is part
of Protrada's ongoing effort
to get word about the value of domain names out
to the mainstream business world.
Mandossian
is a recognized internet marketing expert in
hosting online training and coaching
sessions. He speaks at seminar stages around
the world, reaching thousands of people
monthly. Rushton noted, "Partnering with
|
Protrada.com's
Troy Rushton and Louise Munck
at T.R.A.F.F.I.C. 2012 last week in Florida.
|
|
Alex
enables us to reach new global audiences and
advocate domain trading to people who are
looking for new investment opportunities beyond
traditional asset classes."

blog. |
Mandossian
said, "Internet marketing can be
hard work and domain trading is new and
very exciting to people outside
the domaining industry. The feedback
I’ve received from my coaching team
and our students is overwhelmingly
positive, as our current audience of
internet marketers are hungry to get
involved with “low risk, high ROI”
marketing opportunities. Domain trading
is the perfect fit and an ideal
new way to expand sales and profits for
internet marketers."
In
addition to live seminars, Mandossian
and Rushton are organizing a series of virtual
seminars and training events for
Protrada’s current members as well as
new audiences. |

One
of the people we missed most at T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
was industry veteran and leading investor Larry
Fischer who had to cancel at the last minute
after back pain prevented him from flying (been
there, done that and it is no fun). On
the same day we left for Fort Lauderdale Beach,
Larry and Bill McClure (who was at
T.R.A.F.F.I.C. with his lovely wife Jammie)
announced the launch of a new joint venture at
HerbalTea.com.
|
The
site was developed to sell and serve the
most widely consumed beverage in the
world to at home and office consumers.
Fischer and McClure believe that due to
an increasing consumption of tea in the
United States, the "tea
time" was right for a premier
online store. According
to the Tea Association, in 2011,
Americans consumed well over 65
billion servings or 3 billion
gallons of tea.

McClure’s team sourced the more
than 100 varieties of tea, grown
around the world, that are featured at
HerbalTea.com. With these two putting
their heads together, this business has
a great chance to score big in
the beverage market. |
