About dotprodomains.com and its founder, Shawn M. Gross
Hi, I'm Shawn. I'm an Internet entrepreneur. OK. Scratch that. I just had to Google "entrepreneur" to see if I spelled it right. Better stated, I'm a wanna-be-Internet-entrepreneur. I've never worked at a company that went public, never cashed in IPO riches, never graced the cover of WIRED and have never been featured as a guest blogger on fastcompany.com.
But I do love new ideas. (I love Google Earth. Have you downloaded that yet?)
Whoops. Sorry. OK, back to me: I love to invent. And simply put, I can't think of any other medium that allows me the flexibility to do this than the Internet.
If it hadn't been for the Internet, I'd probably still be trying to make it in the film production world - working my way up the ladder as a P.A. with wide eyed aspirations of someday making movies. TV, movies, radio - the entire spectrum of mass media was my passion in college. Yet, it never gave me the convenient and immediate access to turn my ideas into reality. Then, just as I was graduating in '98 I discovered the Internet.
Since then, I've created my own blog, an online portfolio, I've started a small design studio and a marketing consultantcy. I've launched a hosting company and dozens of web sites for people and businesses. And now there's this, dotprodomains.com.
dotprodomains.com is an attempt to take the often looked down upon and sleazy (in my opinion) domain reseller/aftermarket business and ignite a spark of idealistic creativity into it. It's an attempt to personalize an often impersonal dialogue between domain buyer and seller. It's about thinking small - you won't find "millions of domain names available daily!" here. Nope. Just one a month for now... and in the future as I grow... who knows what will come.
One thing is certain: Starting off small and focused and determined are the key ingredients for any successful business today. In the world of millions of options, billions of choices... isn't it nice to know that there's one place you can count on to provide one-to-one business communication? I too am a consumer - and I hate millions of options, billions of choices - when it means quality is sacrificed for quantity.
I just want the one best option for me. And that's what this web site hopes to offer you.
Enjoy,
Shawn M. Gross
