The most precious tip I can give you is to use common sense when registering a domain name for your business because your domain name can have an impact in both the online and offline marketing of your website. Domain names that are long or difficult to spell can make people ignore your website(or you lose type-in traffic) and it has to be pretty good for them to stick with it. Short domain names register better with people’s memory and are easy to remember.

You must get a domain name that will help you in your marketing niche and strategy, and also in branding your business name. As I said before, you can use your business name as your website URL. If your business name you want to register is already taken by someone else then get a URL name close to what you do, or if it’s a 2-word name, try a dash in between the words. Purchasing a business name domain name isn’t the only way to go. A keyword-focused domain name is also good, it helps in SEO (search engine optimization).

Domain investment, or the buying of domain names for profit, has been an internet marketing “insider secret” for a number of years. When the internet was young, for example, enterprising spirits grabbed the domain names of popular companies and resold them when those companies came knocking. In fact, stories abound on the net about domain names selling for thousands - and even millions - of dollars each. In 2006 alone, domain names such as “diamonds.com” and “cameras.com” sold for a combined $9 million dollars. There is no question that many people have made a bundle selling domain names, including “Domain King” Rick Schwartz, who has made up to $2,000,000 a year through domain investment.

Can you make money selling domain names? Unless you’re very lucky or already a proficient internet marketer, your chances are not great that you will be able to find a profitable domain name which hasn’t been taken. Many analysts emphasize that investing in domain names is no longer a “walk in the park” and that real “killings” in domain investment are few and far between. There is doubtlessly much competition in the field of ever-dwindling dot.com domain names, and even in the less used ones as well, such as .net, .info, .biz, .ws, etc.

As you may have noticed, starting an online business is a
little more complex than starting a “real world” business.
That is because your business will be operated from
cyberspace, and not from a physical location per se. This
is the main reason for the confusion you and most
beginners may have when attempting to start an online
business.

Even if you know nothing about business, you know that
with a “real world” business, there are certain “physical”
steps you can take to get your business up and running
quickly if you wanted to. For instance, with an offline
business, you come up with your business concept and
name, obtain a business license, choose your product or
service, select the location where you will operate your
business, establish telephone service, print business
cards, flyers, catalogs, etc., and advertise your business.
Voila, you’re ready to do business.

Helpful hints on how to buy and sell domain names.

Anyone who has started an online business or done research to start one, has had to ask themselves this question, “Where have all the good domain names gone?” And its a very important question.
