So how do I start a home based business?
March 22nd, 2008The first step into starting a home based business is selecting your domain name. This is extremely important as the correct domain name can lead to increased traffic to your website. My domain name is homebasedbusinessconsultants.info. I chose this domain name because it obviously is about home based businesses and a consultants is someone who is an expert. I chose .info so that people would think that it is simply an informational site. Many people have told me though that by using their own name they not only get more traffic to their website but they also create great brand name recognition like Donald Trump for example. There are some network marketers that are so popular that people literally google them wanting to do business with them. The great thing about the internet is that you can have both. You can get several domain names and forward them with a tool called masking so that that is what appears on your website. Let me explain.
I can place an advertisement online for www.andrewvantine.com and forward it to www.homebasedbusinessconsultants.info . I turn on masking so that all the person ever sees is www.andrewvantine.com . This is great huh. This way you can do tests on your advertising to see what works better.
