My prospect doesn’t know what company I’m with until I tell them. They can’t look at my
opportunity website until I give it to them.
Most networkers will register a domain name with their company name in it like
www.AmwayRocks.com and their email address would be mike@amwayrocks.com
which is the primary email address they use for all correspondence.
Well as soon as you send an email to your prospect from mike@amwayrocks.com, they
are instantly going to head to www.AmwayRocks.com out of curiosity, which means you
lost all control of the presentation process.
Now what if you change companies? What if you leave Amway and head to Herbalife?
What are you going to do with an email address (that everyone now has) like
mike@amwayrocks.com?
That’s why you ALWAYS register a generic domain name to use for your email
correspondence that you can keep forever, no matter what kind of business you decide to
build.
I chose www.Idealtrends.com specifically for this reason.
Once you have a generic domain, you can always register another one for your specific
opportunity that you can give to your prospects when the time is right.
I have purchased over 100 domains in the last year alone. It’s like owning cyber realestate.
Suggestions For Great Generic Domain Names:
This is probably going to be a very frustrating process for you if this is your first time
registering a domain name. Why? Because you will soon find out that 19 out of 20 names
you think of will already be taken.
Coming up with something generic is pretty easy though.
Here are a few ideas…
1: Use your name in combination with an extension.
www.AndersonInc.com
www.JohnSmithInc.com
www.JohnSmithPartners.com
www.JohnSmithLLC.com
www.JohnSmithCompany.com
www.WhoIsJohnSmith.com
www.JohnSmithMarketing.com
2: Think of a company name, or “Doing Business As”, name.
www.Idealtrends.com
www.Live5Star.com
www.GetMLMResults.com
www.IdealIndustries.com
www.MagneticSponsoring.com
Once again, keep these three rules in mind:
1: Easy to say.
2: Easy to spell.
3: Easy to remember.
If your last name happens to be Leibowitz, then pick something else!
Chapter 3:
Purchasing Your Domain Name:
Rule #6: You want to buy the .com, net, and .biz versions of each domain you choose.
When coming out with a new product like Magnetic Sponsoring, I might end up buying a
total of 15 a domain names:
www.magneticsponsoring.com
www.magneticsponsoring.net
www.magneticsponsoring.biz
www.magnetic-sponsoring.com
www.magnetic-sponsoring.net
www.magnetic-sponsoring.biz
www.getmagneticsponsoring.com
www.getmagneticsponsoring.net
www.getmagneticsponsoring.biz
…You get the idea.
Purchasing this many domain names for one project is not necessary, just recommended.
So go ahead and make your purchase, but DO NOT buy any of the other services your
registration company will want to sell you like traffic generation, search engine
submission, etc. You don’t need those.
All you need are the domain names, and a basic hosting account which you can set up for
$3.95 a month at www.GoDaddy.com
1: Start with the domain search box. You will get to know this one well as you search for
a name that is actually available.
Continue to search until you find a name that meets all of the criteria we’ve discussed
today.
Once you find a name that works, choose to register the .com, .biz, and .info names.
2: Go ahead and start the check out process.
3: Skip ALL of the extra services they will try and sell you. You DO NOT need them.
4: I only register my domains for 1 year at a time to keep costs down. They will
automatically renew each year as long as your credit card on file is current. If it’s not,
GoDaddy will notify you.
Congrats! You now own your very first domain name!
5: When you’re ready to set up a re-direct or set up an email address for your new
domain, click the Support button for GoDaddy and call their 1-800 number.
Have one of their associates walk you through each process.
If you have any questions, you can always give me a ring…
To your success,
