Whether you own a business on the Internet, or you just have a blog or website to share your interests, sometimes a name really is everything.
Whether a site is for business or pleasure, more often than not, people tend to pick a domain name that tells what their website or blog is about, and add a name to it, such as:
a poetry site – Pam’s Poems – pamspoems.com
a site that critiques shows, movies, or music – Rob’s Reviews -robsreviews.com
If it is a business website, the product should be part of your domain name, so people can find it when they are looking to buy what you are selling.
For instance, if you sell knitting items, you could choice to include the word knitting in your domain name or something cleverer, such as Kit’s Knits, or kitsknits.com.
Others, especially writers displaying their work on their blog or website, try to spend a little time coming up with a domain name in the same way they come up with titles for articles.
For example, they may choose rhyming words or a clever play on words:
•Joan’s Scones – joansscones.com (baked goods)
•Hackett’s Brackets – hackettsbtackets.com (hardware items)
Anyone who took typing in school remembers how much fun the exercises were for memorizing which letter to type with what finger:
Typing a, s, d, f, with the left hand, and typing j, k, l, m, with the right hand, is quick and easy.
Picking a domain name such as wade or jimmy, typed with one hand, is fun to type and easy to remember:
wadeswares.com
jimmysjunk.com
If, like many writers, you believe the best part of writing a book, or an article, or creating a website, is coming up with a clever and creative title, you can have a lot of fun coming up with a unique domain name.
The only downside is that you may discover someone has already picked that domain name.
