Rick Schwartz, also known to many as the “Domain King” has decided to stop posting blogs on Rickblog.com as of yesterday, March 20th, 2008.
Rick owns domains such as eRealEstate.com RumorMill.com, Property.com, Candy.com, HotDates.com, Widgets.com, ChildPornography.com (a Reporting Center) and has been very influential in the Domain Industry with his involvement in TRAFFIC Conferences.
Here is what he wrote in his last post:
“Good Evening Folks,
A year ago I decided to write a book. 75 posts later, that book is done. It resides right here. 75 posts (Chapters) most of which are aimed at the corporate and investment world along with the domain industry as well as other trailblazers. Free for the reading. I hope someday it is read by folks on Main Street to Wall Street who can TRANSFORM their businesses if they can figure out just how EASY it is to harness the power of the Internet. The posts are aimed at folks at every level. As I have said for many years, there are countless ways to climb this mountain, this was my path and this is my vision based on my path. A 20 year plan. A plan based on timing. That success or failure has a lot to do with timing. Sometimes timing is everything. So with that in mind, it is TIME to do other things. Whatever I can say has been said. It is here. It is on eRealEstate.com and it is on TargetedTraffic.com. Now the time that I have always shared has to be devoted to other challenges and other projects. The first of which opens today at Property.com. Others will soon follow. Time to allocate my time in a new way. The industry is maturing and splintering and becoming more serious and becoming more desperate. So the dynamics of the cottage industry that gave birth to what we do is no more. The orbit has gone to higher levels. Those in other orbits have to work hard to escape the gravity of whatever orbit they are currently in to move to the next level. The safety of mediocrity has to be overcome by the challenge of what the future promises.
Have a GREAT spring and hope to see everyone in Orlando at the next TRAFFIC this May and in New York City in September. For any further thoughts, just read my previous post..
Rick Schwartz.”
Thank you Rick for your feedback to the community and Good Luck with your new projects!
