Internet Marketing for Novices - Get a Domain Name
This is for novices who want to learn more about internet marketing. One of the most important things you can do is to buy your own domain name.
A domain name is the way people find internet sites. Google.com is a domain name for the company Google. Gmail.com is Google’s email service. It’s the domain name for their email service.
Having a domain name also gives you a professional appearance. Take for example a new person who starts their business. Most new people will do something like go get a new email from Yahoo:
mynewbusiness@yahoo.com (fake example)
Compare this to the person that buys a domain name and gets email for their business:
ben@mynewbusiness.com (another fake example)
Having a domain name gives you a much more professional image than the guy who is using a Yahoo email. Plus the guy using a Yahoo email is actually helping Yahoo build their brand! He isn’t braning himself!
One more reason to get your own domain name… And perhaps this is a bit technical… It allows you to forward the domain name to your company web site. That way on your business card they see:
www.mynewbusiness.com instead of www.mymlmcompany.com/userid/ben
Again you’re building your brand and you look more professional. Plus you don’t have to risk typos or risk people who just go direct to your company instead of typing in all the information. Finally if your company ever creates a better web site you don’t have to change your business cards, your ads, etc. You just change where your domain forwards to. It’s kind of like call forwarding. You can forward your calls to your cell phone, or you can change it and forward it to your summer home on the beach. With a domain name you can forward it to mymlmcompany.com today or mynewflashwebsite.com tomorrow.
In short having a domain name gives you flexibility and provides a more professional image for your business.

It is not often that I see these kinds of blogs. It’s no wonder alot more people are not making money on the internet.
You’re definitely right. It is a must that if someone has a new business, a new domain will be helpful to give the business a professional look. This will boost the credibility of your business. Potential customers will be enticed if the business has a professional image. AS a novice, it is helpful if you get your own Maximum Overdrive. It will give you strategies for powerful traffic thus will seriously help your online business. Good thing is, you have a money back guarantee and you can cancel anytime you want.
Another little tip is to get a domain name that somehow relates to what you are promoting or selling. For instance I am promoting a business called Global Resorts Network and created a website that was based around travel.
Hi Ben
I have got to say you are right when you say a good domain name provides a more professional image for your business.
