Stay tuned to the end of the interview where I'll give you some actionable insights that I learned from my guest. These insights are also in the show notes. As always, thanks for listening. Now on to my guest for today, Richard Lau, founder of Logo.com and Resume.com. Richard started out 20 years ago registering domain names, working at home in his bunny slippers. After growing the company to $4 million, he sold it and moved to California, but unfortunately the deal went south and he ended up with a severance check and took his wife and infant back home to Canada. After that, Richard took what he learned and started over. He worked for 10 years as a domain name broker, specializing in tracking down hard-to-find contacts and buying domain names that he then sold, or kept for his own inventory. Eventually he started developing websites for the domain names he bought. He and his partner built Resume.com into a full-fledged business offering resume services and eventually sold it to Indeed. They also built up and sold domains.com, selling it to the company that became GoDaddy. Richard also founded and produced a conference for domain name brokers. His current project is logo.com, where entrepreneurs can have a logo built for free. He plans to grow the site by offering other services for businesses as they grow. Now, let's get better together. Actionable Insights Richard learned from experience it's important to do your due diligence from the very beginning, giving the example of using fonts that aren't licensed. Even such minor-seeming issues can make a difference if and when you eventually sell your business. Business is about relationships. Richard believes that people pay you in gratitude for being given something of value. If the customer doesn't believe he received something of value, then he doesn't want to take their money. For making connections in business, he also believes strongly in face-to-face interactions. Richard's own brush with cancer has helped him re-evaluate what's truly important in life."Life is too short to work for a bad boss," Richard says. He notes that particularly in the U.S., most people have the freedom to move somewhere where the cost of living is lower, or where you can find a better opportunity. With so many opportunities available online, there's no excuse for not building a life you love.

In today's episode, we will be touching on a topic that is felt as taboo. The subject of death. Death is seen as a dark and scary thing when it is something beautiful. It is the end of one journey and the beginning of another. If you have ever faced it and survived, facing death forces one to reflect on your life and what you have accomplished. It is a time to inspire you to live your life to the fullest. Today's guest taught me that death could be a beautiful thing. Before Richard became CEO of logo.com - hire a top-quality designer for all your business logos needs at an affordable price. Richard is a husband, father, and family man who found the importance of life after the chance of it being taken away due to cancer. Richard is a serial entrepreneur who was dealt the heartbreaking news during the build of one of his businesses, but Richard didn't let that slow him down. In this interview with a true underdog, we cover the wild west of internet domains and how one man just decided to do it rather than read about it. Along the way, he developed a business that worked for him rather than the other way around. This is the interview if you are looking for a true success story where the underdog comes out on top.

Being an entrepreneurship may sound attractive, but it isn't easy. Many people go in it with dreams of great success and freedom, but it doesn't always work out as they hoped. There is no straight line to success. And as Richard Lau says in this episode, it's not a matter of if, but when, life will punch you in the face. What makes the difference is how you respond to those punches when they come. Being a serial entrepreneur, Richard has had to take his fair share of punches. Some people may have given up, but Richard saw each know down as an opportunity start over using the lessons he's learnt from the challenges he faced. Now the founder of logo.com, 20 years ago at just 30 years old, Richard had the month from hell. As a result of a hack on his business which wiped his customer records, and a dramatic move by a competitor, Richard was put back to square one financially and if that wasn't bad enough, a diagnosis of colon cancer that doctors believed was terminal followed it up. Thankfully, Richard survived to tell the story, and you can listen to it here.

Does a logo really matter to the success of your business? We spoke with the founder of logo.com who is also a serial entrepreneur that has built and sold several companies to discuss. His name is Richard Lau. About Richard: Richard Lau has generated millions of dollars in revenue in the internet industry. NamesCon, his in-person conference focused on domain names, began as an idea in the fall of 2013 and is now part of the GoDaddy family. Resume.com is an online resume builder for millions of job seekers and is another of Richard’s recent successful exits, this time to Indeed.com. His current project is Logo.com - an AI-powered logo maker that has the ability to design a unique logo for your company in just a few minutes.

Richard Lau is the Founder of Logo.com. He currently has logo.com, face.com, coffee.com, short.com, rides.com, as well as others. In the past, he has owned resume.com, weed.com, gr.com, ra.com, which many of those he now wishes he would have held onto. The prices for his domains are currently a lot higher than they were 10 years ago.On This Episode, We Discuss ...• How to Protect Your Brand Name Online• Options for Purchasing Domain Names• Different Industries Using Alternate Extensions
Using AI to simplify logo design? How would that even work? Richard Lau is a serial entrepreneur who's launched several helpful businesses that he's eventually exited. His latest venture, Logo.com, answers this very question. We discussed logo design, AI, and more on this week’s episode of the On Brand podcast. About Richard Lau Richard Lau has generated millions of dollars in revenue in the internet industry. NamesCon, his in-person conference focused on domain names, began as an idea in the fall of 2013 and is now part of the GoDaddy family. Resume.com is an online resume builder for millions of job seekers and is another of Richard’s recent successful exits, this time to Indeed.com. His current project is Logo.com - an AI-powered logo maker that has the ability to design a unique logo for your company in just a few minutes. Episode Highlights Is Logo.com trying to replace human designers? Not at all! As Richard notes, Logo.com is a complimentary service. It's to help those who “have an idea and need a logo quickly. It's not meant to replace an SMB or design firm.” The correlation between logo simplicity and company size. Richard shared a unique anecdote during the show. “The larger the company, the more simple the logo. The more intricately designed a logo is, the smaller the company often is.” Look no further than Apple. Their first logo featured an actual depiction of the story behind the brand's name (Newton's apple falling from a tree). Through the years as the company has grown, their logo has gotten more simple and streamlined. Alas, as Richard and I discussed, simple is hard. What brand has made Richard smile recently? Nostalgia can be a potent ingredient in the brands that stand out in our hearts and minds. One brand that takes Richard back to his childhood is Hostess. In fact, he had a treat on his desk that his son had gotten for him! Of course, we talked about the Hostess logo, too. To learn more, go to Logo.com and connect with Richard on LinkedIn.

(Aired Dec 12, 2016) RAAS.com, Decimeter.com, FirstLastName.com - Get into the minds of the Sherpas with the DomainSherpa Review! In this show we discuss odd forms of domain names and how it affects value, dictionary words that are terrible generics but awesome brandable domain names, and some great domains going to auction soon with NO RESERVE that might be perfect for newer investors.
It's rumored but not confirmed that today's Sherpa sold a five letter, dictionary word domain name that has hundreds of thousands of exact match searches per month, and thousands of companies use this word in their name...but nobody's been able to confirm the sale or the price. The domain? Ocean.com.
My favorite way to meet people is in person, and next week I'll be in Las Vegas for the third annual NamesCon domain name conference, which promises to be a blockbuster event. I'm making a list of what I need to do to prepare for next week, so I thought it was a good time to chat with the founders of NamesCon about what's going to happen, what we need to be ready for, and how we can make the most of the event. Get a notepad ready, prepare properly, and see you next week! (Haven't bought your ticket yet? See below for a DomainSherpa exclusive discount opportunity!)
