Good Advice On Negotiating from The Founder of GoDaddy
Bob Parsons, the founder of the discount domain name megasite www.GoDaddy.com Some might find some of his advertising campaigns cheesy, but I totally get it. He's not trying to use silly gimmicks to distract people from bad advice or bad deals. He's actually providing a great service at a great price, and sharing useful advice, anecdotes and wisdom on the side, as a way to keep his audience smiling and coming back for more. The way I see it: There's nothing wrong with adding fun to serious content.
In his latest video blog entry about negotiating, Parsons once again offers great advice, and adds lots of fun too. He's got all kind of silly nonsense going on in the clip, but all that is just keep you smiling while he shares sage advice with viewers. I think he's a brilliant mix of P.T. Barnum and Bill Gates. Check out his latest video blog (episode #31) about negotiating here. Enjoy.

GoDaddy is a pretty awesome company. Their pricing is the best, there are millions of great domains being auctioned there, and I love all of the simple webmaster tools they offer (like being able to install WordPress with one click, for example. They also make domain transfers really easy. A+ from me.
He is a bi of a character, and is an excellent practitioner of what is called "personal branding". Even his videos can be irritating. But as long as he continues to provide useful info along with the frat humour, he'll have listeners. fair play to him.
I salute this gentleman the way he share his knowledge to everyone.I love listening to successful stories especially if it personally came from them.It's very inspiring and a good example for beginners in marketing like me.
Sometimes cheesy campaigns work. An interesting little read, although i'm not sure on his ear piercing! But that's a different issue I guess.
Domain negotiation sounds tricky, I've been learning about it since getting my account at www.thedomaindashboard.com, I'm looking forward to finding how to make money from the web as a recen graduate.
