    Just a couple of days ago I shared an interview with Rick Latona. I have received such a great response from my fellow DP members so I wanted to share this one as well.

    Rick Schwartz is the founder of T.R.A.F.F.I.C., the events that turn out the who’s who in the domaining industry. Rick either owns or has owned domain names like Candy.com, Property.com, Properties.com, Porno.com, ***.com, CD.com, Widgets.com, Men.com and many many more HIGH END names.

    Just a brief background on Rick. He has gone from working in the retail furniture business to owning an extremely successful drop ship company. Rick sold the home based drop ship company in 1998 for over seven figures. Through marketing of his own home based business he realized the importance of domain names and having an online presence. Rick purchased a set of domains for his business and then a set of domains related to the adult industry. The adult related domains started producing steady income from $25 a day to a couple years later $500 a day. This at the time was just a hobby. These events and a few others lead up to the day were Rick purchased Porno.com for $42,000, which at that time was unheard of. After Porno.com came ***.com, eRealEstate.com and Men.com. The rest is history and if your in domaining you know what has come of this.

    Q. At the last T.R.A.F.F.I.C. event in Brooklyn NY 250 Rick Schwartz
    bobbleheads were handed out. Who came up with this idea?

    I liked his statement about the better domains are the not necessarily the short - but the memorable. I also would not mind driving his CL600!

    Great content - thanks for sharing. Remember everyone: to succeed ... you do *not* want to emulate and copy Rick; but do learn from their stories and apply it to your situations in a unique way!
