A few days ago we told you Taylor Swift had bought the domain name taylorswift.porn. Not because she was going into the porn industry but because .porn domain names were becoming available and she didn't want anyone making money off her name.
Fair enough.
Well, one entrepreneurial lad decided to buy a few .porn domain names and is planning to make a lot of cash out of them too.
I woke up and logged on to my laptop as I always do. I checked Facebook and saw the Taylor Swift story. I was intrigued so found a registrar that had them available.Mike, DotPorn Domains
He spent the next hour typing in random names he could think of and many of the high profile names had already been snapped up. Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Watson's people, or some other business genius, had already bought those.porn domain names.
Afterwards, I went on the FHM Hottest Women of 2014 and just went through the list. I also researched a few lists of the most popular porn stars but all the really famous ones had already secured their domains.
In the end, Mike managed to secure a whole host of high profile names including Kaley Cuoco, Megan Fox, Nicole Scherzinger, Michelle Keegan, Zooey Deschanel, Emma Stone, Pixie Lott, Kelly Brook and Ellie Goulding. His full list can be found on his Facebook page.
He also managed to secure himself a whole host of porn stars as .porn domain names too which can also be found on his Facebook page.
The .porn domain names don't become available for sale until 1st June so what Mike has actually done is pre-order them meaning he gets first dibs when they do become available.
How much they'll cost is still unclear but this is where Mike's keen business sense has come in.
People have been selling domains for up to $2500 in the past and in extreme cases even millions of dollars. Business.com sold for $340 million, so I know it is possible to make a healthy income which will come in handy because I am currently at uni.
Before it gets to that point though, Mike is keen to find out what sort of interest there is, even from the celebrities themselves and will be running an auction on hisFacebook page.
I'm thinking of running an auction on the 1st June to see how much people are willing to pay for them or maybe even contact the celebrities themselves. Either way, it is going to be an interesting adventure.
An interesting adventure and a profitable one. We just wish we'd thought of it first...
