Launch of Media Company in Hot Celebrity Market Beckons Partner
Celebs.com Announces Joint Venture Opportunity
Los Angeles, CA and Annapolis, MD January 22, 2008
Domains For Media (DomainsForMedia.com),
experts in domain name monetization, today announced at DOMAINfest
Global in Los Angeles that it is seeking a joint venture partner
to help it develop Celebs.com
into a new media property. Viable partner candidates include those
with proven success in domain or media development such as
a major online or offline media company, studio, magazine, online
portal or others wishing to enter the growing celebrity market.
The ideal partner will be able to demonstrate a process it employed
in a similar development project, and the ability to apply it to
Celebs.com.
Experience in the celebrity market, or a related one, is highly
desirable.
Celebs.com
benefits from a large volume of natural daily traffic, and it is
a highly brandable and easy to remember domain name, said
Eric Rice, President and founder of Domains For Media, which recently
completed an agreement to help develop domain properties Skateboards.com,
Surfboards.com
and Snowboards.com.Celebs.com
is arguably the best domain in the celebrity space. Celebrity properties
represent a strong market opportunity right now. With the right
partner, Celebs.com
can be become a highly successful media venture. We have the right
domain, and a new player can come in and compete immediately. A
strong partner with the right resources is all thats needed
to grow this niche domain.
The celebrity market is currently experiencing a lot of growth.
Much of that growth is fueled by online entities that update celebrity
content very quickly. TMZ.com
and PerezHilton.com
have become two of the biggest media properties on the web. After
the most recent Britney Spears incident, PerezHilton.com
reported it received over 10 million page views in just 24 hours.
These web sites are generating revenues via advertising dollars
from some of the largest niche brands in the world. Both are quickly
becoming major media outlets.
The perfect partner for Celebs.com
will likely have the resources to execute an entire business plan
around developing this domain property. All aspects of the business
will be the responsibility of the partner. Domains For Media plans
to consider 4-5 partner proposals in the next 30 days and make a
final decision by the end of February. While the preferred relationship
is to partner with an experienced company on this project, an outright
sale of the domain name will also be considered.
Potential partners interested in working with DomainsForMedia.com
should call 443-421-0000 or send email to eric@DomainsForMedia.com
to better understand the parameters for submitting a proposal.
