You need a plan As you begin this journey, you may feel intimidated. I understand completely. With all those www’s, dotcoms and choices to make, the task can seem quite daunting. Relax. Take a deep breath. Consider me your guide for the first part of your journey. As we explore the many avenues for generating revenue online, realize that you have already taken an important step that advances your progress immediately. And what is that step? You are a learner! You know that the surest way to get where you want to go is to listen to advice from those who have gone before you. If you want to become a great baseball player, you need to hang out with other great baseball players. If you want to become a world-class musician, you should try to spend time with other world-class musicians. And if you want to have an explosive Internet business, it only makes sense that you should spend time with someone who has an explosive Internet business! I’m glad you have chosen me as your mentor on this journey. Having been in business online since 1995, I have ridden the ups and downs of the Internet rollercoaster. I’ve experienced the thrill of selling a website to the world’s LARGEST website (In 1997, I sold ClassicGames.com to Yahoo. Today it is known as Yahoo! Games). I’ve regularly received spectacular affiliate commissions from Amazon.com, eBay and dozens of other merchants. And I’ve seen what can happen when I put my nose to the grindstone and publish fantastic content that others find helpful. Not only do I provide a service and make a great income, but I get to help people in the process! Does it get any better than that? You want to hear the best news of all? There is NO reason that this can’t be YOUR experience! It’s up to you, my friend. And you have obviously made a decision that it is going to be you by investing in this ebook.

Chapter 3 How to Pick a Domain Name There are three key questions that you need to answer, before picking a domain name for your website: Q1. Shall I pick a name to attract the search engines, or human visitors? With the Internet boom, it's becoming harder than ever to find meaningful names that make perfect sense to the search engines as well as your human visitors. If you have a generous advertising budget, want to attract repeat visitors and build a strong brand, go for a domain name that attracts human visitors. Again, it goes without saying that human visitors prefer .com domain names to .org, .biz and other extensions. Names such as Monster.com and Amazon.com might not mean much, but they are easy to say and spell, easy to type, easy to remember and hint at the huge array of choices available on these websites. Generic names such as Business.com may attract search spiders, but they cannot be trademarked. A unique name makes it easy to seek trademark protection by registering with the Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). This ensures that nobody can misuse your domain name to sell their products or services (from another website or through offline means) without your sanction. If you have an existing offline business… If you want to build a website for an existing online business, it's best to stick with the actual name of your business as the primary address. You can always register a couple of keyword- rich domain names to point targeted traffic to your primary website. If the name of your business is already taken, check if it is for sale. You might also consider changing the name of your offline business to one that's available for registration. Q2. Shall I pick a name that is catchy and memorable (such as Monster.com) or one that best describes my business? Domain names such as Amazon.com mean nothing to a search engine, so if your pockets don't run deep, steer clear of them. Pick a name that makes it easier to attract free search engine traffic, but don't make it too hard for your human visitors to remember! The domain name HotMail.com strikes the right balance by being short, catchy and descriptive. Q3. Shall I pick a name with hyphens, or without? Hyphens might make it easier for the search engines to identify the keywords in your domain name. However, you can not fully control how a search engine 'reads' your domain name, even with the hyphens in it. It goes without saying that hyphens are hard for your human visitors to remember or type into the address bar. If you pick a hyphenated domain name, make sure you use it only to drive search engine traffic to your primary website (with a non- hyphenated domain name). Don't let precious visitors slip through the cracks! People have clumsy fingers and a short memory. Make up for it with extra domain names pointing to your primary domain. Always reserve different variations of your primary domain name. The singular and plural versions are safe bets- for instance, if you own HotHairstye.com, make sure you reserve HotHairstyles.com, in addition to Hot-Hairstyle.com and Hot- Hair-Style. com How to Register your Domain Name The Internet is chock full of deceptive offers! An ad for "$3 Domain Names" might seem attractive, but watch out for hidden charges such as setup fees, membership fees etc. Similarly, a $3 monthly charge works out to $36/year, so calculate the annual cost of registration before you hit the buy button. Many businesses will offer you lucrative discounts for registering multiple domain names, or by registering for several years at once. Some might throw in free services such as a dedicated mailbox (xyz@yourdomain.com), domain forwarding or your starter web page. You can avoid a lot of Spam and junk mail by opting for a private registration. If you don't want to pay extra for privacy, get a PO Box address and create a dedicated email Id to list with your registrar. Above all else, make sure you purchase your domain name from an ethical company, which provides a 24/7 help desk and makes it easy for you to transfer your domain name to another hosting company. I recommend www.domainanything.com for reasonably-priced domain names backed by a major Internet registrar. I frequently visit Domain Name Journal for questions related to the domain name industry. There is a huge secondary market for domain names, with many people buying and reselling names at a profit. While speculating in domain names may be only for those with nerves of steel, you might fight some really good deals in the forums on the site.
