“How to Acquire Your Own Domain Name”,
we walked you through the process of acquiring a domain name using GoDaddy.com.
Since then, we’ve come across some very informative info from the Smashing Magazine website that we thought was necessary to share with our readers.
This entry is designed to walk you through the process of acquiring a unique domain name for your business using “GoDaddy.com”. As you follow these simple steps, you will be farther down the road to creating a viable web presence.
First of all, What is a Domain Name? A domain name is a type of web address that is associated with you and/or your business. It’s the name or phrase that people will type into the address bar of their browser to get to your website.
Whether you are new to the Internet or just new to Online Marketing, the massive amount of available options and web services can be overwhelming at times. Most people are reluctant to ever get going because they simply don’t know where to start.
This entry was written to give our readers an overview of the necessary techniques that will be needed to set-up a professional looking website. You will also learn how to create and maintain a professional web presence.
A product review on the Twitter Traffic Machine was included in the entry entitled “How To Succeed in Marketing Your Business”. This tool has been so helpful in my social networking efforts that I felt compelled to write a follow-up. As of this writing, my Twitter account has grown to over 1500 followers. That is a staggering number of new followers considering I just started my website less than a month ago.
“I have tried countless products, plans and systems, but The Twitter Traffic Machine really delivers the goods.”
There are a ton of different theories about how to succeed in marketing your business all over the internet; and believe me, I’ve tried my share. Some strategies were good, but most were garbage — not because the theories were bad — but because, there were so many people using the same techniques that the market became overly saturated, which rendered the techniques ineffective.
The question is NOT how to succeed in marketing your business, but…
If the internet is the key to inviting people from around the world to check-out your business, then social networking would be like a wide-open door. What is a social networking?
Social networking is made up of groups of people who share a common interest. This commonality could be based on geographic location, religion, favorite movies, cooking, music or whatever; the list is endless.
In the past, a social network was made up of individuals who came together in a face-to-face meeting; like a chess club, bridge club, church social or any similar community gathering. Today’s social networks are migrating more and more toward the internet and online communication.
In order to make any business successful through network marketing, your customers must first:
1. Know the business exists
2. Be truly interested in the idea or product
This might sound over simplified, but I assure you; it is that elementary!
As an example, let’s look at your city’s newest health facility. The first concern in network marketing should be to advertise to the public-at-large. The second step would be to target the customers who are actually health conscious consumers.
Do you have the capability to create a successful online business while working from home? You most certainly do! There are many advantages to working from home; no more punching a time clock, no more supervisors telling you what to do, no dress codes or monthly quotas, and thank God - no more commuting.
Working from home alleviates many of the stresses that present themselves in the typical work environment; however if you take this new found freedom for granted, you could easily find yourself in over your head with a long list of things left undone.
You have to treat what you’re doing as a business where you are both the employer and the employee. As the employer, consider how you would feel if your employees showed up late for work every day. On the other hand, as an employee, how would you feel if your boss had you on-call 24/7, 7 days a week?
Succeeding in business takes a great deal more than merely having the best ideas or the best products. What good is having a great product if people can’t find it? Or what if you have the answer to a problem that has plagued society for years, but no one knows about it?
There is a simple solution to this dilemma - Tell Them! Find a way to let them know who you are and what you’re doing. Word of Mouth is a wonderful way to get the word in the streets, but only after the ball has already started rolling. Do you know the secret to getting that proverbial ball rolling? It’s Social Networking!
Have you ever seen advertisements claiming “Easy Money” or “Make $10,000 a Month While You Sleep?” Do these quick money schemes really work? Is there such a thing as an easy home business? The world of network marketing is filled with countless online gurus who promote easy home businesses, but what is the real truth?
The truth is - it’s tough (especially when you’re just starting out) and if you’re anything like me, you’re starting out with no money. After all, starting a home business is about making money, not spending it; particularly on products that probably won’t work. In these distressing economic times, is your future something you want to gamble with?
