author here.. all I can say is, buy a B+ domain name, expect B+ results. I prefer buying an A domain (not A+, not A-), and speed the process up, whether it fails or succeeds. If it fails, eh, cost of doing business.. move on..

Author here..My focus isn't a google seo play, it's a 'build a business' play that leverages all forms of marketing.. word of mouth, bumper stickers, billboards, search, social.. A neat, easy to remember domain can do lo

a fine point.. thanks for mentioning.. I'll try to point that out in the next post..

spot on Mike.. If your domain idea fizzles, there is still value in the domain name itself..

Just to be clear, this isn't an seo play.. this is a 'build a side business' play.. And no, you're right, you don't 'just' buy the domain. I'm sorta suggesting that the domain be the inspiration for t

I do the opposite : ) I buy the domain, and then put myself to sleep skipping through biz avenues.. A fun tool to use for hand-reg domains (if you didn't know already) https://instantdomainsearch.com/

thanks for the feedback.. it works for some folks, not for others.. true. I wanted to simply try and shift the thinking for anyone out there dabbling. Once I saw domain names in this light, it really helped me focus and concentrate on build
