Jacob
Fedosky's Fast Track From Teenage Domainer to
Corporate Director of Domain
Development
|
One
thing I've always loved
about
the domain business is that it offers great opportunities
to everyone. You hear about age
discrimination in mainstream business but
I've never seen it here. What I have seen is
people ranging from 17 to well over 70 that have
done well in in this industry. Take 19-year-old Jacob
Fedosky for instance. Jacob started
buying and developing domains in high school and
continued to do so after heading to Texas Tech
for college. Some
of you may remember Jacob as the original owner
of the Teen Domainer blog that he later
sold to Brian Diener. Jacob started
another blog at DotJake.com before moving
to his current home at JacobFedosky.com.
Now, he has taken yet another step in his domain
career, having accepted a corporate position
as Director of Domain Development for Houston,
Texas based web development company Vessio,
LLC.
Since
being founded in 2006 Vessio has deployed
hundreds of websites and dynamic components for
a global list of companies and organizations of
all sizes. Just a couple of weeks ago the
company released a new domain
development service aimed at domain
owners who want to move beyond parking.

Fedosky
said that after researching the current
solutions being provided in the market,
Vessio has identified the positive and
negative aspects and tailored a unique
service that is accessible and
manageable for domain name owners to
execute. “Other providers tend to have
a single template and each minisite they
churn out has a different color scheme
and header but the general feel of the
site is the same," Fedosky said.
"We’re completely customizing
each site. Other providers also fill
their minisites with sub-par content.
Vessio has partnered with a high
quality content provider so our
developed websites give visitors the
information they came to find. With
customized designs and quality content,
we’re turning domain names into authoritative
websites.”

added, “As parking revenues continue
to fall, domain portfolio owners need a
viable solution to earn money from their
domain names. Other providers have tried
to solve this problem but they have done
so in a way that isn't scalable. Vessio
isn't developing “minisites” –
we’re developing actual websites that
provide real value to both domain
owners and consumers that access the
websites. While we still utilize
AdSense for our clients, we
don’t depend on it. We also
integrate a number of affiliate links
and ads. By incorporating several
revenue streams into each site, Vessio
keeps developed domain names from
appearing spammy and in turn produces
results." |
Vessio
can add “for sale” banners on websites they
develop and Fedosky promised competitive
pricing and special incentives on bulk
orders, so if this is a direction you are
interested in exploring Vessio may be worth a
close look.
