Episode #5 – Create the Best Domain Name for Your Business

If you are just starting your business or getting ready to launch your blog, you need to take careful consideration in choosing your domain name. There are millions of blogs and websites on the internet so you want to make sure you choose a domain name that will stand out.

In today’s video, I share nine tips for creating the best domain name for your business. If you are an artist or designer, this is a simple task because you will use your own name. But the majority of you will need to choose a name that relates to what you are offering people who visit your blog.

Take some time and do a google search in your niche and see what comes up. Go to those sites and see how well the domain name fits the blog. Does the name reflect what is being offered on the blog? Is the name unique, easy to spell and easy to remember?

Just yesterday, after video taping this episode, I helped my friend start her blog. Young Living Essential Oils is her niche. On the way to her house, I was brainstorming ideas for a domain name. The first one I thought of was "Nature’s Remedy" but figured that would already be taken (remember, I am in the truck and cannot confirm). I really love the word remedy….it’s easy to say and it’s the perfect explanation for the essential oils and what they can do. The next name that came to mind was "Creator’s Remedy". LOVE it! The first thing we did when I arrived at her house is research the name. Guess what? It was available!

Not all research and brainstorming will go that smoothly, we really got lucky. If you spend a few hours coming up with a name that is unique and fits the criteria mentioned in this video, it is worth the time. You will know when it’s the right name for you because you will smile big and become excited about it!

So grab your pen and paper and take good notes! I wish you luck in finding the best domain name for your business.
