I want to speak with you directly. I talked to Andrew today and we had a good call together. And I would like to have
a good call with you also. I'm not going to yell or scream at you for taking this public approach to our issue. That is not my style so don't worry about
that. I just do not like typing phone call length conversations out and printing business conversations, ideas, plans, on a public message board.
Plus my hands are sore from all this. LOL You have my number. It's nearing 3AM here and I'm rested and working away like always.

My head just spins from all this. I still can't understand the concept. In my opinion it's flawed as domains don't have an intrinsic value, unlike real estate. Liquidity can affect domain selling prices much more than what a real estate bubble would.
Acro I hate like hell giving out so much of my ideas cause I know someone will end up copying them
but here's how the idea evolved.
Many of my brokering clients wanted to find a way to monetize their domains that would
produce more steady and predictable income than PPC does and enable more sales on their domains and
at better prices than the market was providing.
So I went to work trying to innovate a solution. I figured the best way to create a platform to enable
this was to look at real estate platforms and wall street platforms and see if anything could be adapted to
domain monetization platforms.
That's how the idea for taking the real estate Sale > Leaseback monetization platform and adapting it to domains
came in my creative thoughts.
In a sale leaseback deal a company sells a property asset and then leases it back. So the company has now
generated a capital inflow for their business and continues to use the office space in the building.
I then looked at modifying that for a domain monetization concept and figured why not sell a domain in the same
way, generate a capital inflow, then generate a greater long term capital ROI than the monthly cost of capital during
a set period of 1 or 2 years. This would create a way to enhance the values for domainers and provide a way for them to
sell more domains since with this type of fixed income flow the domains would have a more predictable monthly income vs.
the variable flow of PPC and the like.
Then you could achieve the greater ROI by either profitable domain sales during the year term, plus ad sales, and other
rev generators with strong ROI's.
From my side it would create a great network of domains to eventually broker for clients down the road as well as increase
the client base by providing a new way to make more money than PPC. And the risk
was relatively marginal since during the 1 year beta it was a limited amount of domains to work with.
The clients would end up getting each domain they bought at for free as it would be a zero cost acquistion by the end of the 1 year term.
And then as Andrew illustrated I tweeked the concept to add an extra period so they could have a profit also of at least 20%.
And that is the platform's concept in a nutshell.
I agree with what a couple people suggested it would also work better with higher value domains to lessen the risk from my side.

And for bigger 6 and 7 figure domains there is way to enhance sales, domainer income and portfolio values by integrating advertising agencies, wall street funds, and end users into a more complex variation of the platform that I think would work really well.
