Rick Schwartz, aka “Domain King” and “Webfather,” is the CEO, president and co-founder of T.R.A.F.F.I.C., which was a leading domain conference for the domain industry, and most recently, the Asheville Pro Domain Investors Meetup. He is also CEO and founder of eRealestate.com, and a founding board member of the Internet Commerce Association (ICA)…
Rick Schwartz is considered by many to be among the leading experts on domain names, traffic, website flow and valuation.
Rick has sold more than $23 million in domain names, and has earned more than $15 million through one of his digital asset sales alone.
And, get this, he has never initiated contact with any potential buyers of his famous sales! They’re all “inbound” lead sales.
His current and past digital assets include Porno.com (sold for $8,888,888 million) Men.com (sold for $1.3 million), Property.com/Properties.com (sold for $4 million plus equity), Candy.com (sold for $3 million plus royalties), and many more.
Since 2007, he has published a widely read blog called RicksBlog.com.
As an added bonus, if you make it all the way through to the end of this show, you’ll find out how and why Rick was sued by O.J Simpson!

Hey Robert and Ed, Great show; thanks Rick for sharing your insights and experience.
Best. Episode. Ever.
Biggest lesson from this: Focus on .com, forget about .au, .com.au and other nonsense and weak extensions.
Great stuff again! Who’s the next legend that you can surprise us with.
Carrot.com sold $565,000 USD to an end user, just announced on DNJournal.
Wholesale even today would’ve been about $70,000 USD.
As Rick says there are plenty of opportunities out there if people are intelligent and have the balls to invest their hard-earned in the right domains.
