Are You Building Your Internet Presence Or Are You Just Working
Programs?
There is no question that the Internet is the all time gold mine
of wealth to anyone. Some of us are obtaining it and in
abundance while others of us are just getting by. Why is that?
That's a question I had to answer for myself after a few years
of working very long, hard hours on the Internet, vigorously
pursuing any program that offered me the opportunity to
financial freedom.
After a few years of unrealized dreams, I decided to step back
and really study the superhighway.
One of the questions I asked myself: was this web working
against me (at the time it appeared that way), or was it that I
did not understand it or it's requirements for getting me to my
destination. So, I began to research.
As I studied the various changes on the internet over a five
year period I realized that, This Internet Is Changing And It's
Changing Fast! From my research I also discovered that those who
were making money and loads of it through the internet, all had
a few things in common.
The one that I want to talk about today, is by far the most
important! It's A Must!
If you are attempting to succeed on the Internet for the long
term, them you must begin to build your internet presence. And
the first step in doing so is in getting you own

Having a domain is not mandatory to the gurus and exempt for
those working affiliate programs or promoting any type of small
start-up business endeavor. No! it is mandatory for all, if we
are to steak a place on this superhighway.
Having your own name domain identifies you uniquely from any
other and establishes your place on the superhighway. A Domain
Name Is Of Extreme Value And Essential To Your Online Success!
and not having one would be like committing web suicide for your
business.
Free web sites are no longer effective. They not only do not
look professional, but rank much lower with most major search
engines and some search engines restrict them.
The average internet user is: intelligent, college educated, has
a Visa/MasterCard, seeks instant gratification and is anxious to
do business. They too want in on this gold rush. But, they are
reluctant to spending their money where there is not a solid
sense of established credibility.
They are your present and future success. Since they cannot
physically sum up you business legitimacy and credibility, they
will do so visually and intellectually through your web
presence.
Again, your own domain name is extremely valuable. It can serve
as your own product or brand name on the internet.
Let's do brainstorming for your domain name. Here are some
pointers in choosing your domain name:
1). Choose a name which reflects and promotes your business.
2). Choose names that are catchy phrases. Why? they are easy for
people to remember, therefore easier to identify you with. But
they are also a great investment. Had you or I registered a
catchy domain name like ' bingo.com ' we would have been retired
very rich. That name was sold at auction
for a few million dollars, and it cost less than $100 to
register it for 2 years.
3). Register names which are Keyword rich. This can greatly
improve your search engine ranking, simply be using keywords in
your domain name. 4). How about your own name, it is unique to
you.
5). Of course, if you currently have a domain with one of the
shorter 23 character or less, or a .net, .org, by all means
register a new longer keyword loaded name. Now you can register
a domain name with up to 67 characters. It is reported that
there are more searches for .com, that any other.
Before registering your domain name you will need to check it's
availability in 'whois.' You can do so here:

Now, with having your domain, there are many options for
building your web site. There are pre-designed domain web sites,
saving lots of money and time over custom built ones. They allow
you to add your own ideas, pictures or links to your current
business and/or program. But, you may choose to have one custom
designed. Both of these services can be obtained at a very
reasonable cost. You can find more information on that here:

With over 80 million Internet surfers on the Web each day, it is
inevitable, all serious entrepreneurs will need a domain web
site. It is reported that there are 50,000 domain names being
registered each and every day. That's over 1,500,000 per month
and growing.
How many of those could you sell while more effectively
promoting your current business/program? While at it, why not
sell Web site services? Everyone coming on the Internet with any
intentions of making it big and staying the course will be in
need of these same services too.
