Do not make this mistake!

When you want to create a new doamin it is best to research on the key words of your choosen domain name. Consider trademarks and copyrights when choosing a domain name. I did not do this and did not realize it until I had just finished creating my logo for my site. The best part I had bought 2 domains with trademarked material. So I had to kill it before it even had a chance to grow (r.i.p worldstaraffiliate and worldstarvibes may your sacrifice not be in vein). So please do research before hand, 10mins could save you well earned money and thousands of hours of effort. Here are two reminders of a mistake that I will never make again and pain that I hope you will never go through.
