Internet Marketing: Let’s Get it Going!!

A lot has been said about driving traffic to your website lately. That is all good and well, but I had somebody ask me the other day, “how do you get a website?” My fault. I assumed that everybody already had a website. It wasn’t too long ago that I hadn’t a clue on securing a website. So, let’s take some time to do just that.

One of the first steps that you can take is to secure a good website name. In retrospect, www.money-for-my-life.com is alright, but it can be a bit cumbersome to type in all of the dashes. You will want to go to a site like GoDaddy and get your website name. They have a great tool that allows you to check the availability of the name, and, if it is available, you can easily add it to your shopping cart. Personally, I have about 10 different names, but I have only developed three of them, but as time goes on, the others will have actual sites. The names are just reserved at this point.

Choose names that will go along with the target audience and will be one that they will easily remember. You can try several words run together, and even use an online thesaurus to find words that mean the same as others that people will still use to find your site. It is always a good idea to have a list of ten or more when you try to find your domain name. The reason is that some of the best ones may already be taken so you want to have a backup plan.

Tomorrow:  Actually purchasing your domain name.

Have a GREAT day!
