In the Name of a Domain
As I was rebuilding my domain around a niche that I was so excited to work around, I started receiving emails and comments requesting help on establishing a blog. These questions would have fitted perfectly with my old niche and the things that I use to do: analyze websites, create content and help bloggers plan a strategy.
Well, old habits die hard so I told them to come back later for an update. I dedicated a section on my website specifically on how to create a blog, find the best content and guess what? I sold three websites through my affiliated marketer that I forgot I was connected to lol.
It was one of those moments where I had to look back into my past especially during the times when I thought I want to be a computer programmer and after receiving a degree in Computer science, I decided I didn't want to work with computers anymore, so I want to be a Marketer. That got boring, so I decided to apply for a Bartending license and became a bartender. A year later I was bored of that business so I became a Paralegal. Then after that, a Foreclosure specialist buying homes at auctions.
Throughout it all, I was still giving out advices on how to build, design and code a website.
If you are still at the beginning phase and haven't purchase a domain yet, here are some things to consider when creating your domain name:
- Is it something you can brand?
- Is it easy to introduce?
- Does it fit your identity?
- Do you see yourself working there for the next five years?
I want you to come up with three names and I'll give you my critique as to whether I see a future with those names. I'll even guess what your niche will be by reading your name. Write it down in the comment below. Lets have a little fun!

I have two sites currently and will be working on a third soon.
1). Grandpas_green_thumb.
2). Wealth_Creation.
3). Tasha's World Of Imagery.
The last one hasn't been constructed yet. Jim
Underscores never seem to work well with actual domain URL and when a name is too long, some people never seem to be interested in it.
Those can be used as the Site Name. Just a critique. :)
First one seems like a home and garden niche.
Second is about entrepreneurship.
Third seems like a store selling novelty.
I don't actually use underscores. I have them there to prevent the link from showing up in my comments. Take the underscores away and you have my websites. Jim.
I thought links would only appear if you use it in proper URL context?
Well, that's good to know haha. Did I get the niche right? :D
first two are correct, the third one is wrong. It will be for my daughter and will be an image website where people can buy photo's, images etc., For their blogs.
Ahh I was thinking something witchery hahaha. Halloween influenced me
