What Domains Should You Own?

With the cost of domain names so incredibly inexpensive, why do you own just one?

At this point, you may be asking yourself “Why do I need more than one?” Let me share with you just one scenario.

Let’s say you are at a holiday party, discussing your new product, Creative Wedding Memories. You spend 5 minutes with a prospective customer, and she’s very excited about your product. She doesn’t give you her contact information, and loses the card she got from you. When she gets back to her home and remembers your product, she heads to the web for more info. What does she remember? Your name? Your company name? Your product’s name?

That’s why you need to have all of your bases covered.

1. Your name. Especially as your business grows, and you begin gaining PR coverage about your business, purchase the domain names for every way you list your name.
   ElisabethSmith.com
   ElisabethLSmith.com
   LisaSmith.com
2. Your company name. The larger your company, the more likely someone will attempt to ride your coattails. Get your names early to avoid the problems.
   ElisabethSmithPhotography.com
   ElisabethSmithPhotographyInc.com
   ElisabethSmithPhotography.net
3. Your products. Each of your products should have their own separate domain name. You don’t have to have separate websites for each product; simply point each domain name to your main site.
   CreativeWeddingMemories.com
   BookYourWeddingNow.com
4. Any misspellings? Some names are just easier to misspell than others. If you continually see any of your names misspelled, buy up those domains too!
