Setting Up Your Own Domain Name

We are going to shift 100% of our focus on steps you must take to set up your own online prescience and brand yourself as an expert online. If you have done some of these steps already then you can skip ahead. Please do not skip any of these steps. There is not one more important than the other so it's very important you complete all 6 steps. One will not work without the other.

The first step is to set up your own domain name. You may already have several domain names but it is important that you have a domain containing your own name. If you have a common name you may need to tweak it a bit because that domain may already be taken.

Here is an example. I have:
http://www.KarenPore.com

If you have a common name here are some alternatives.
www.WhoIsYourName.com
www.YourNameOnline.com
www.LearnWithYourName.com

It's just important that your name be in the domain. This will be the first step in creating your own online presence. When someone types your name into Google to find out who you are it's very likely if done correctly this domain is what will pop up first. It's ok to use other domain names for systems that you may be using but having your own domain name including your name will help personalize what you prospect will see. If you have never purchased or set up a domain before it's very low cost. Usually it's about $11 max. I use Go Daddy or Pow Web myself but you can purchase the domain name wherever it's most convenient for you.

If you have never set up your own domain name here is a video to help guide you through the process.
