How to Pick Your Domain Name

One of the first things you need to do to have an online business
is to know how to pick your domain name.

Your domain name will be your identity online. It is the name
you select to tell the world who your are and/or what you do,
such as The Faster Webmaster. When you add the "http://"
in front of the domain name, you are creating what is called the
"URL" and will include the extension of ".com/.net/.info/.biz, etc..
such as "http://thefasterwebmaster2.com."

It is extremely important to consider carefully the idea you want
to convey so you can choose your domain name, and always try to
register the name with a .com as this is often taken for granted as
the extension of most "legitimate" businesses, by perception.

Once you have an idea, you can go to GoDaddy.com and see if the
name is available. Keep in mind that it is easier to "find" your site
using words people would "search" by...these are called keywords.

Also, when you pick a domain, your URL looks a little different than
it will on a store sign or business card.

You might be Bob's Dog Grooming on the store sign but as a domain
name it would read "bobsdoggrooming" which might not be what
you had in mind for the domain to look like! Also, nobody is searching
for "bobs" which is at the front of the domain..."doggroomingbybob"
might be a better fit.

Remember that a ".com" is best, so check for the name and, if it is
necessary, you are often better off finding a variation as a ".com" than
taking a ".biz" or ".info" of the same name. If "doggroomingbybob.com"
is gone, you might consider "doggroomingbyRobert.com" or something
completely different.

If creating a business and branding, you will want to make sure that your
idea for your business name is available both as a business name AND as
a domain name.

Last tips on your domain name....
Make it short...the shorter the better and make it easy to remember.
Also, the domain name should be a clue as to the content on the site and
the type of information that can be found on the site.

But, getting the domain name is just the start...now what?

Overwhelm Equals Procrastination

Overwhelm is an easy feeling to get in the world of Internet Marketing.

The danger is that too much information, too much research, too many
choices and too many options will just freeze you in your tracks. You can
be so busy trying to get ahead you just run in circles.

Confusion, frustration and overwhelm can equal procrastination, as in no
progress. You may lose your way and lose your enthusiasm. You may even
forget why you started in the first place while chasing the next big "thing".

The FasterWebmaster 2 is a course to cure overwhelm and guide you
through the confusing and frustrating process of trying to learn everything
all at once.

You need to get back to basics and this is what TheFasterWebmaster2
is all about, the basics...
from getting your first Domain and Hosting company
to getting your first Website where the world can see it, up Online.

You need a System, a simple step by step blueprint to guide you
through the maze of Internet Marketing by someone who wants to
help you to succeed!

Internet Marketers Lee and Robin Collins describe a "system" as something that
Saves You Significant Time, Energy, Money.

You can read a hundred emails, look at thousands of pages of sales letters,
spend hundreds or thousands of dollars doing it the hard way and stumbling
around in the dark without a flashlight OR you can simply check out this
course and save yourself weeks, months or years of needless research...
when everything you need is right here...

If you were giving advice to your best friend, would you tell them?
Go spend months trying to figure it out on their own and all alone
OR would you tell them to go to
TheFasterWebmaster2.com and check it out?
What would you tell your best friend?

If you are just starting online, one thing you want to do is figure out what name you
want to use to Market Online. This name will be your URL (uniform resource locators)
which is kind of like your PO Box on the Internet. It is the Title of your Website.

Make a list of ideas that you think would be a good website name that will describe what
you do or who you are. You then go to a site that sells Domain Names, like GoDaddy.com
and enter the name in their Search bar and submit. They will tell you if the name is now
Available, which mean you may register it now, or they will say the name is Unavailable,
which means that someone else has already registered that name...
but they will give you a list of suggestions of available variations of that name to consider.

If you wish to Register a name, you may do that Online or via a Customer Service phone
number, where a representative will help you do the Registration in 1 year increments.

If you are building a business, you will want to consider registering the name for a longer
period of time than one year, 3 to 5 years would be best as this will help give your business
credibility if someone checks your domain registration. Someone who registers their name
for only one year doesn't appear that they plan on being around for very long (or they are
afraid they are going to fail...so perhaps there is some "mindset" benefit to having a longer
registration, as well!).

I hope this helps, but it is only the start. For more guidance, go now to review the course at
