Come up with a kick ass domain name!
Okay since this course does focus on making money online it is now time to choose a great domain name that will ensure you make money always!
A domain name is the name that users will type when they want to visit your website. like MakeMoneyAlways.com or Yahoo.com or Google.com or even AOL.com.
Depending on the problem and solution you are trying to monetize I can recommend doing 1 of 3 options when choosing your domain name.(if you are unsure what a domain name is – it is the actual name of your website: example Google.com is a domain name, just as Yahoo.com is and just as MakeMoneyAlways.com is the domain name for this website.)
When you are trying to choose a domain name you should think about the following 3 options:
If you choose option 1 I recommend that you aim for a domain name that is:
- Short – no more than 7 letters
- Easy to pronounce – Catchy and has a maximum of 3 sounds when you say it (think of Yahoo, Google, Twitter etc’.)
- Easy to type – it would be a shame to loose traffic to typos.
If you choose options 2 please note that the only one that has a major advantage for search engines is option 2 – Keywords based domain However since these domains do tend to be longer than the others the likely-hood of anyone simply typing it in the address bar is very low! If you are still interested in looking for a KeyWord based domain please read my article about how to use the Free Keyword Tracker.
If you choose option 3 Then make sure you use only abbreviations and not half abbreviations for example CNnetwork is not good!
In all cases I recommend you stick to a .Com domain extension – simply because that is what most people worldwide know and remember. Other extensions like .Org and .Net should not be associated with commercial sites.. although they are as equally good for SEO purposes.
