Okay…

If you do any internet marketing at all, there is a good chance that you have had to build a website. When you decide to build a website, there are a lot of things that you will have to research and consider before you even get started.

You have to decide what your site is going to be about. You will have to decided where you will host your site. You will have to decide whether you are going to build a blog or if you are going to go for a more traditional style website. And most importantly, you will have to choose a domain name.

There are some things that you should try to accomplish with your domain name, but there are also some things that you should try to avoid when creating said domain.

I usually start with a little keyword research. I try to find keywords that are getting searched a lot that do not have millions of competitors. I usually like to start out with about ten strong keywords. From here, I usually go to namecheap.com to see if any of these keywords are available with a dot com. Most of the time, you will have to get a little creative, but this is usually pretty fun for me!

Here are some things that I like to try to accomplish:
1. My domain had to do with what the site is about.
2. I try to make it as short as possible while still making sense.
3. I want the domain name to be easy to remember.
4. If a dot com is not available, I move on.

Here are some things that I try to avoid:
1. I avoid hyphens and numbers. If I tell someone my website and then I have to explain that there are hyphens or that it is the word two and not the number two then I will avoid it!
2. I avoid using hard to spell words.
3. Make sure to avoid copyright infringement.

I know that there is a lot more to look for and to avoid. This is just a quick listing to get you started on the right track.

What methods do you use to come up with a domain name? How much research do you put into this process? Let me know because I am curious to know what methods other are using!

I look forward to hearing what you have to say. Please feel free to comment or re-tweet this to any of your friends that might be having trouble coming up with a new domain name!

Are you interested in Bum Marketing? Do you like making money without spending any money? If so then I have a really nice treat for you today.

I came across a great little PDF that was written by Justin Brooke that was made for members of Travis Sago’s Bum Marketing website. Travis specializes in Bum Marketing which is a form of internet marketing that does not require any money to get started. Justin Brooke specializes in website flipping which is building or buying websites, making them profitable, and selling them for profit.

In this free e-book, you will learn how to put these two methods together to make a lot of money without having to spend a dime!

Good Afternoon!

Today I would like to talk with you a little about Forum Marketing. Forum Marketing has so many benefits, but for one reason or another, so many marketers tend to leave this huge step out of their marketing efforts. I have to admit, I too have been too lazy to take advantage of the many benefits of forum marketing in the past.

Forum Marketing is so easy that if you do not enjoy what you are promoting, it can be boring. It can be a beating! But, if you can take the time, or spend the money to outsource, this can be an amazing benefit to whatever site you are wanting to promote.

There are hundreds to thousands of forums for just about anything that you can think about. No matter what niche you are in, you can find forums to take part in. I suggest going to Google and typing in whatever your niche is along with the word forum. From here, you need to join a few, get set up, and start making a name for yourself.

You want to make sure that you are using proper forum etiquette. Do not just go in there and start throwing up links and promotions. If you do not get kicked out or banned, you will most likely be ignored.

I suggest that you go in, make some friends, give some advice, participate in debates, and give all that you can give. Once people see that you are a regular guy or girl, they are going to be more willing to see what you are all about. If people are interested in your knowledge and input, they are much more willing to check out the information that you have available in your signature.

Not only can you start getting some pretty decent traffic to your site, but every time that you post, you will be adding more back links to your site.

So, you get traffic, you build relationships that can be very beneficial down the road, an finally, your site will be gaining authority with the search engines for your niche! To me, there is no reason to leave this crucial step out of ANY campaign that you ever build.

Please know that this is just my opinion. I have been doing this for a while now, and like I said, I have left this step out of a few of my campaigns. It makes such a huge difference that it has become a part of my daily routine for each of my niches.

I hope that this information is helpful to you! If you are liking what you are reading or have any questions, please let me know. Feel free to re-tweet this and share it with your friends!

I hope that you had a great 4th of July!

Go Hard or Go Home!
