After
Debuting With a Bestseller Author & Domain
Pioneer Marc Ostrofsky Returns With Word of
Mouse September 10th
|
Domain
industry pioneer
and author Marc
Ostrofsky hit a home run with
his first book - Get
Rich Click! - that hit the New
York Times Best Sellers List not
long after its May 2011 release. With a clear
demand for his Internet advice and
expertise firmly established, his publisher, Simon
& Schuster, was soon calling for more.
So, Ostrofsky went back to the keyboard and the
fruits of his labor over the past two years will
hit the bookshelves September 10, 2013 when
his follow-up, Word
of Mouse, will be released (if
you don't want to stand in line, you can pre-order
a copy here). Sub-titled
101+ Trends in How we Buy, Sell, Live, Learn,
Work and Play!, Word of Mouse will
provide the successful serial
entrepreneur's advice to consumers and marketers
who want to better understand how to leverage
technology. Ostrofsky, well-known for
selling Business.com in a $7.5 million
transaction, has a knack for demystifying and
simplifying all things tech as he covers
topics ranging from “recommerce” (reselling
goods online) and smartphone apps to smart
whiteboards for e-learning.

Author
Marc Ostrofsky |
Publisher's
Weekly noted, "At first
glance, the sheer volume of advice can
seem too much to tackle, but the book’s
straightforward structure makes navigating
this potentially intimidating topic
easy. Ostrofsky breaks up the text
with eye-catching graphics, cartoons,
catchy pull-quotes, and includes sections
called “Marc my words,” as well
as liberally using case studies from
companies that benefited from using new
technology. For any overwhelmed,
overloaded, or intimidated consumers or
marketers, this book is a helpful,
entertaining, and motivating
resource."
The
success of Ostofsky's first book led to
many high visibility media appearances for
him, including national
TV, and he consistently used
those opportunities to preach the value
of good domain names. You can look for
more of the same as Marc hits the
promotional circuit for the release of Word
of Mouse, an event that will help put
domains front and center at
multiple mainstream media outlets in the
weeks ahead. |
