"Domain
King" Rick Schwartz
has
added a new business to an
entrepreneurial portfolio that already includes
the T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
domain conference and eRealEstate.com,
the home base for his domain monetization and
development endeavors. Schwartz has just
launched Jointventures.com,
a
new platform that will he said will give
companies wanting to differentiate their brand
online an opportunity to secure a premium
generic .com website domain name with zero
up-front capital cost through a joint
venture or a leasing arrangement." Schwartz
said over 1,000 of his company's generic
and brandable website domain names, including Homemade.com,
Tradeshows.com, VirtualTours.com
and Widgets.com, have been set aside for
free use or to lease to qualifying companies. He
said JointVentures.com offers "a
new strategy for CEOs and marketing
executives of small, medium and large companies
with growth ambitions to get a "million
dollar website domain name" without the
high price tag or capital layout of category
defining domain names frequently reported
sold in today's secondary market."

The
plan allows member companies to apply for
a profit-sharing joint venture and if
selected receive the exclusive right to use and
develop the premium domain name of their choice
in exchange for a domain partnership deal
based on pay-per-lead, pay-per-sale,
pay-per-call, and/or percentage equity stake.
Domain name lease agreements for an affordable
monthly fee are also being offered.
Schwartz
said selling domain names for cash is not
a part of his company eRealEstate.com's business
model. He noted that he has sold only 18
domain names outright over the past 18 years,
but those have totaled over $10 million
dollars, including transactions that received
international media attention including iReport.com
(sold to CNN for $750,000), Men.com
for $1.3 million, Candy.com
for $3 million + royalties, and Property.com
for $4 million plus stock.

"I
started in this business in 1995 with
a 20 year plan, and we are now in
the final phases," Schwartz said.
"Our business does not have the
resources, time, or infrastructure
necessary to actively go into all of the
business industries for which we own
domain names receiving traffic,
generating over 100,000 potential
customers every day. In fact, we never
planned to do so. Instead, today we
lease our domain names or joint venture
with companies to develop them into
website businesses, and then receive a
fair percentage of our partners'
increased profits."
Schwartz
said that over 3 million
consumers per month visit the
eRealEstate family of websites, that
includes some |

T.R.A.F.F.I.C. conference at Ft.

of the
most popular category-defining
destination website domain names in the
world, such as Candy.com,
BirthdayParty.com, PunchBowl.com,
ChiantiWine.com, HelicopterCharter.com,
CubicZirconia.com, Property.com
and many more, all operated by domain
lessees, joint venture partners and
other agreements. |
In addition to his own domains, Schwartz said JointVentures.com
services will also be available to domain
investors that have category defining
domain names and others of "obvious
great value." Schwartz said,
"Great domains with low earnings on PPC can
increase domain investor payouts by large
multiples with just our standard $1500
per month annual lease. The cost of which is
still just a fraction of a full running brick
and mortar store capable of attracting mostly
customers from a very specific and small
geographic area compared to a worldwide
presence with unlimited expansion
capabilities."

Schwartz
added that JointVentures.com does not
accept .net, .org or
any country specific domain names
or any other extension. .Com only.
While JointVentures.com has already made
a "soft" launch Schwartz said
the official opening will be on December
1, 2012. For additional information
on the marketing, branding, credibility,
memorability and business growth
benefits of operating a business online
from a premium generic .com domain name
Schwartz encouraged interested companies
to review the information and list of
category defining domain names provided
at JointVentures.com
and apply now. |
