What’s In A Domain Name?
A domain name is simply the address of a
website. For example, in the URL
http://www.JourneyToOnlineSuccess.com
the “JourneyToOnlineSuccess.com” part of
the url is the domain name.
When setting up your online business
it’s helpful to have your own domain
name. It gives a professional appearance
and helps you build your identity. It
also adds a level of trust and integrity
for you and your business.
Some tips for selecting a domain name:
– Make it relevant to your business
– It should describe what your website
is about
– It should be easy to remember
– Try to use catchy words or phrases
– Choose a “.com” extension over other
extensions because it is more widely
recognized and remembered.

Finding Your Niche
The best way of starting an online
business is to do it in an area, or
niche, that you are knowledgeable in or
passionate about. Think about that for a
minute.
If you focus on something you really
enjoy or would like to do it keeps your
interest much longer than something you
don’t care about doesn’t it? Finding an
area you enjoy is one of the best ways
to get started online.
Think about your passions and interests
and write them down. Then take a look
at your skills and strengths. Try to
find a combination of these that would
be a good fit for your business area
or niche.
For example, if you are passionate about
playing tennis and you are good at writing
you may want to consider a niche where
you can write articles about tennis. Or
if you are interested in being a trainer
and are computer literate you may be able
to offer computer training services
online.
A side benefit of selecting a niche around
your passions and strengths is you will
totally enjoy your online work!
You may have heard the following quote
by Robert G. Allen:
“Pursuing your passion is fulfilling
and leads to financial freedom”.
Take some time to consider which business
area or niche would be right for your
business. Then you’ll be off and running
in no time.
