How a College Dropout From Guatemala Used Domain Names To Make His Dreams Come True

[Duke]

The December Cover Story is out at DNJournal.com. It is about Matías de Tezanos, the 26-year-old domain developer from Guatemala who sold his network of Spanish language sites to Japanese conglomerate LiveDoor in a multi-million deal a couple of months ago. De Tezanos was also the guy who bought MyBlog.com for $400,000 last week.

His inspiring success story began as a teenager when he was first exposed to the Internet. There is one quote from him that pretty well sums up the theme of the article: "This is one of the very few industries where any 19-year-old kid from a 3rd world country with a 14.4 modem and the will to create something can make their dreams come true!"

Matias deserves everything he has and more. He´s one of the people I admire the most, not only because of his work and sacrifice, but also for being such a great person and a good friend.

Great article Ron

Hello Duke, I love the DNjournal and all the new articles
when they come out. Also, thanks for the articles
you did earlier this year on how to find good domain names.
I see you've turned those articles into a 'Newbie' section
on your site. You're giving away great free information there!
A lot of the tools you mentioned to find good domains were
unknown to me before, so you really helped me out, and I bet
you've helped a lot of others. Thank you!

Wow - Inspirational.

What a great person and you just have to respect him for what he has done, following his dreams and shown the success it has brought him. Before I make any decision I am going to think about him and remind myself If I follow my dreams that I could one day end up the success he is.
