At 30 in the eastern time of May 2nd, Maurice hurried back to the apartment in Brook forest, New York. More than an hour ago, President Obama announced to the world in the East Hall of the White House that Al Qaeda leader Laden was killed by the US forces in Pakistan. When the news came, Maurice was drinking coffee outside school with his classmate, Ezra Asiro. When he was chatting with his friends, he thought of passing the business savvy.

Maurice's website has all kinds of T-shirts related to Laden's death.

At 3:30 in the morning, with the help of Ezra and a India friend, Maurice only used the 3 hour new website, "Osama osamadeadtees.com", to sell a number of T-shirts with different styles but with the words or patterns of "Osama dead", each priced at $12. On the front page of the website, he wrote: "in order to celebrate the death of Osama Ben Laden, please buy an" Osama dead "T-shirt! You can express our pride in being an American at this moment by supporting our cause.

Although Maurice used to work in e-commerce and retail stores during his vacation, he also knew how to seize business opportunities and act quickly. But at the beginning, he was not sure whether his idea could be welcomed by the market. By 8 in the morning, the number of orders has reached 500. In an interview with the American political magazine slate book in May 3rd, he sold at least 10 thousand T-shirts and just hired fourth part-time employees.

In the 2 days, it earned at least 120 thousand dollars. From a commercial point of view, Maurice's attempt is no doubt a successful example of event marketing. According to him, the best T-shirt is Laden's eyes painted with red fork and his mouth painted with a red pattern. Buyers are mainly from large cities, especially in the Midwest cities like Cleveland and Chicago.

"I haven't slept for two days, I've been working and I can't stop at all," Maurice said excitedly. He used "Santa Claus to come in May" to describe his inner satisfaction. He revealed that each T-shirt could earn at least $1 after paying for T-shirt production, Google advertising and all kinds of miscellaneous fees. But there are also reports from the US media that although the website is doomed to be short-lived, Maurice can earn at least 60 thousand to 90 thousand dollars.

But according to Cbs Broadcasting Inc's latest news, Maurice's selling T-shirt has changed dramatically. The smart college student who was widely reported by the US media has decided to return the T-shirt order and return the buyer's payment, because after some "soul thinking", he said he was not moral to earn money through Laden's death.

"To celebrate a person's death, no matter who he is, is evil in my eyes. I don't think this is a positive way to make money. I don't want this commercial success at the expense of other people's interests, "Maurice said.

The American college student who wants to make money in the most correct way has set up a website called Zen5 to sell T-shirts related to news events. {page_break}

Tibetan business opportunities, Laden's death domain name is crazy rush.

In fact, the Americans who want to earn money through Laden's death are not Maurice. His "Osama dead T-shirt" website is only one of the 2000 new domains related to the death of Laden after the announcement of Laden's death. According to US media statistics, most of the new domain names in the Internet domain name, including Osama, Laden, dead and dead, were built within hours after the news of Laden being killed.

Businessmen, domain name speculators and advertisers scramble for the most direct and memorable websites related to Laden's death. In these various websites, short, like "osamarip.com", such as "Osama Ben Laden was killed in May 1, 2011" (osamabinladenwaskilledonmayfirsttwothousandeleven.com), relaxed "bye bye! Osama" (adiososama.com, adios is a Spanish goodbye), serious such as "the Osama conspiracy" (osamaconspiracy.com).

Jeremiah Johnston, chief operating officer of Sedo, the world's largest domain name trading market, said the two news events that also caused the rush of domain names this year are the Japanese tsunami and the British royal wedding. On the three day of 10, 11 and 12 March, 1500 new domains, including the words "Japan", "earthquake" and "tsunami", were registered.

It is reported that there are three ways to earn "quick money" by registering the domain name: first, establish business services as soon as possible, and attract consumers to enter the website when they search for news keywords. For example, Maurice will make money by selling t-shirts from the website; secondly, sell domain names, and sell the first place to the websites that are especially interested in the domain name and those who are willing to pay a high price; the third way is to place their website address on pages full of advertisements, so that those who accidentally enter the website can advert for making money.

A report released by the American computer society last year showed that websites with 1/4 as COM and net suffix are advertising websites, which are third types. For example, if you directly type "osamaphotos.com" in the browser's address bar instead of using the search engine that optimizes the result, you will probably go directly to the page full of advertisements.

In the United States, the domain name can be registered and used for only one year at a cost of 7 dollars. After a year, the applicant will often give up the domain name that the income can not offset the registration cost. California consultant Jacob Le Tak was registered 10 minutes after breaking news of Laden, the National Broadcasting Company, and registered the binladenfilm.com domain name. The other domain name (binladenmovie.com) of the same meaning was registered a few years ago.

Jacob said he was surprised to find that binladenfilm.com had not been registered because he thought the domain name might contain high commercial value. After the successful registration, he used WordPress software to simply fill in the contents of the website, specifically indicating the domain name for sale.

Although no buyer has contacted him so far, Jacob is not worried at all. He plans to take the initiative to contact Hollywood studios, "when the future people want to make a movie for Laden, this domain name will be very precious." {page_break}

The reaction is cold and the name of the domain name is very few.

On the websites of eBay and Sedo, the highest price for Laden's death is 21 million dollars, the domain name is "e Osama Ben Laden" (eOsamaBinLaden.com), and the asking price is 1 million "11 years May 1st" (05-01-11.com), and the 100 thousand asking price is "Osama's 72 virgins". (osamas72virgins.com, the "base" person who has been arrested has indicated that one of the reasons for the suicide attack is that the defendant was told that there were 72 virgins waiting for him in heaven after death), and the 10 thousand "Osama attack" (osamabinraided.com) was the lowest, and the cheapest one was 99. It was "Ben Laden news" (binladennews.com).

Up to the afternoon of May 4th, on eBay, the highest price that buyers would like to pay was only 29.99 dollars, and the domain name was "Osama's death photo" (dead-osama-photos.us). The owner of the domain name is Block Martin, a mechanic in Fred lane, Ohio.

In his own words, as soon as he saw the rolling news strip that Laden was killed on TV, he immediately flew up from the sofa and rushed to the computer desk. "Osama Ben Laden is dead" (Osamabinladendead) already has, "Ben Laden die" (Binladendead) also have, my first registered domain name is "Osama is killed" (osamakilled.com).

Bullock currently has 130 domain names on his hands. He suddenly noticed the business opportunities in the domain name from the sudden death of Michael Jackson, a music superstar. EBay buyers have little interest in the domain names related to Laden's death. He said this may be because people always feel uncomfortable about the websites that are related to Laden.

In view of the poor market reaction, Bullock has reduced the original 50 thousand of the asking price to 1800 to 12 thousand and 500 dollars. He said he was willing to consider the lower price. "If someone is willing to pay the price 1/10, I will consider closing the deal. If no one buys them in a year, I will let them automatically expire. "
