You are welcome Michelle.

oh yeah hey I've head of US citizens moving to costa rica. But, we have just purchased in Arkansas. Cabin property. Giving that a go.Hey maybe in 15 years or so... I like Trump too much right now - LOL! You just never know... thanks for the idea :)

Hello Kathleen, thank you so much for dropping by and saying HI. Good to hear from you! We just purchased Tall Pines Inn in Eureka Springs, AR and move on the 19th. Very excited! Thank you for your kind words. Wishing you all the best in all of your WA endeavors.

That is amazing!! I just walked my dogs in 2feet of snow!! I am pretty sure your new view is full of desert sun! Loads of joy onward....Shine bright!!

Haha... well considering we still live in Stillwater, MN and as I look out our living room window I'm looking straight into a 4 ft snowbank and I think we have had more days below zero than above - thats pretty funny :)
We are, however, looking forward to moving south :) yay!!
I won't miss snow...

You have to think about how a user would search for you. Of course the most common the domain name the more likely it is to be taken or you will have to pay big bucks for the name. It is possible to perhaps place one dash in the name and not be hurt too bad but if you can do without I think it is more logical. The more characters or the longer your domain is the more difficult it will be to use that domain. I went from my free domain of modernbedandbreakfastinns.com which was killing me to purchasing a premium modernbnb.com
Keep in mind there are many many reasons that there might not be traffic to your site. You can check a few insights, try your webmaster tools and analytics.

I wanted to pick your brain if I could ? I am stuck on creating the
web page & that starts with a domain name & thats where I'm at. However you say that modernbedandbreakfastinns .com was killing you , how ? costing alot or traffic wise ? I 'm just trying to get any insight to at least trying to get this next step to the process (I am at a loss right now), so I 'm looking for something
and have tryed to research it ! There was a site for domains that
I forget the name ! I 'm very sorry that I'm venting to you I am a little frustrated I can't grasp this !!! So I guess I'm digging for anything right now !! Thanks Fmindset1 head is spinning !!!! HA HA!!

I'm trying to think of how best to answer your question! When you are trying to come up with a domain name you will want a name that 1) represents your niche well and 2) is something that would be intuitive to a user. Oh and unfortunately not all the best names are available because you have these squatters that buy up domain names that are the best and sit on them and will sell them for a few grand. Lets say gardening is your niche. You will probably never get garden.com because thats taken for sure. So you need to come up with variations of what you will do with gardening. It doesn't matter if you are staying on siterubix for awhile but it will matter once you move your site. Going back to gardening - maybe you want to focus on shade gardening, so your domain may be shadygarden.com now lets say that's taken, try myshadygarden.com or like my brother used him and his wife's initials mc as part of their domain name. With the garden example you could use mcshadygarden.com
The reason I got frustrated with my domain was in part it was very long, but I could have lived with it, I paid quite a bit for the premium domain of modernbnb - which is very searchable, but not everyone is going to want to spend that much money - and I'm questioning the wisdom of my decision at times - ah water under the bridge.
Let me know if that helps at all. Or share some more details with me and maybe I can give you some additional ideas.

Hello and yes your information helps me a great deal I have decided to not so much let off the gas pedal but I think I am literally over thinking or forcing my thought process to go faster than it is capable right now because I thought once I started the ideas would come fast & furious but they are not !? I mean I have
a niche that I think is a good one , I am no expert , what do you think about( ease back pain (and the .net is still available) ), I am thinking about purchasing it. I just don't want to waste time but I
can't afford to make a mistake either ,I am trying to decide this, this weekend or ASAP what I should do ? Again I am thankful for
your time, Thank you Fmindset1

Sounds like you are giving it a lot of thought - that's great. I would encourage you to think long and hard before committing to .net. That was originally for ISPs and not really for something like we do. I know it is frustrating. My husband had to change is BBQ domain after we had our competition t-shirts made. Think about whether visitors would actually look for a .net or another variation of .com.
Hang in there :)

I was waiting to here what you thought ; (and I thank you again) ! Something was telling me to wait on it and I did think about that
traffic factor.I guess some time it just takes a little common sense,
Thanks again for your time is much appreciated !

You are welcome. I'm not sure how much help I've been. I'm sorry I'm really behind in my WA email also. Doing the Super Affiliate and it has been a bit all consuming right now. :)
Have a great week!
Michelle

Ahh that is really sweet and how did you know I REALLY needed that today :)
You are special. Thank you.
Michelle

We all can use some love and uplifting so I send it out to receive it back so thanks Michelle

Thank you for the very sweet message! Haha... the name is not that impressive... my heritage is french (canadian and my grandfather's family we think from france) and my last name is Frey (my husband's family is German) and 5 in our family.
We are finally finalizing the purchase of our cabin lodging property in Eureka Springs, AR (Tall Pines Inn) We move there Feb 1. Very excited. It has 14 cabins, 21 units. It will be an undertaking but we have both left our careers to pursuing our dream. Our kids were a bit stunned at first but they are on board now :)
Happy New Year to you and best in all you do!

Oh great explanation! I hope you will keep us updated on your new venture. It will certainly be an adventure! Its good to keep our kids guessing..lol.. Best of luck and how amazing you are doing it!

We are in the process of purchasing Tall Pines Inn, Eureka, AR - just waiting for financing to go through. Fingers crossed - lots of prayers and we will be there January first!

Hello and thank you for the follow. It's very nice to meet you. I look forward to checking out your site.

Haha... had several ask where I came up with that name. My dad's parents were French, so I got that 1/2 :) Our last name is Frey and we have 5 in our family.
We are at a transition point, I'd say. Switching gears to pursue what we love - we are hung up on this house sale for the past year - UGH. Finding out no one wants a 5000 sq ft 1965 home :(

Thank you so much, I will come back to this often! Much appreciated!

Click "Like" on my comments got it. I really appreciate any tips. Thank you!

Thanks for your message...
Click LIKE is good! :)
Great to meet you...

Thank you for your kind words! All I can say is I love to write and I write from my heart and soul. Sometimes it's just very hard to take what's in your heart and articulate into words :)
Being here at WA is a great fit for me! All the best to you at WA. I'm pretty new but if I can help, let me know.

With kids in three different states, I have a lot of road trip time for reading. Thank you ;)

Hi again Michelle it’s a good idea (only if you want to) to click the 'Like' icon within a comment if you like it as I have done with yours.
Obviously you don't have to click every single comment or you will be here all day doing nothing but.
But to click the ones you like that are replies to your own comments will be reflected in your WA ranking because it shows you are getting involved with the community.
Enjoy your day.
Robert

I did send one message to you about shopmytoolshed concept and where I was stuck. It would be for the sell and buy of new and used tools, ie. what poshmark does with womens clothing. At this point my greatest interest is bed and breakfast Inns - where to stay/price. I would appreciate your take on those. Thank you.

Sure, you could head in the direction of B&B, but where? Trying to target the world would be impossible without a huge team of writers, I would start narrow and then diversify as you build success within one region. Start small, then diversify. ;)
