Look Impressive Online and Get a Sideline Business to Boot.
Have you already got a company? A conventional, bricks-and-mortar business, I mean. Or are you trying to make some money advertising generic sites with only an affiliate link? Both of these types of business usually have something in common: that is that their online presence is disappointing.
Many business owners and affiliate website promoters just do not seem to understand that a poor website does a lot more harm than good. A business owner who has created a website on Geofreebies or one of the other free webspace providers is essentially doing the same as someone who only promotes an affiliate link on an automatically-generated, replicated affiliate page.
The problem is that it is obvious what those websites are: cheap and nasty and unfortunately, that reflects on the business and the business owner both. The same goes for email addresses. Just consider, what looks better to you:
http://www.geofreebies.com/memnbersites/Amiable-Dragon.html
amiable-dragon123456@yahoo.com or
http://amiabledragon.com
owen@amiabledragon.com
It is all too obvious which looks more professional; which gives more confidence and which would bring in more customers and so more sales and Im sure that there is no one in the world who would disagree with that.
The next consideration is the extension ” ie the letters after the . or the @. .com is probably still the most prestigious, but it no longer has the lead it used to have. .tv, .biz, .info have their places, maybe, but do not really have the cachet. However, another problem with .com is that it has been around since the start of the Internet and many names have already been taken.
I consider that .ws is a very valid alternative to this problem. You could imagine it standing for web site, although it actually stands for Western Samoa! It is a relatively new suffix and many, many name combinations are still available. I am sure you could still get the address you want. Something else you may not know is that when you buy your own domain name, you can create any email address out of it by putting anything instead of the http://www and replacing the DOT with an @ sign. Look at the address above again for an example.
Then you have to host your domain and administer the site and email addresses. The fees are usually paid annually in advance for the name and monthly for the hosting, both payments going to separate companies very often. However, there is a very professional company on the market at the moment offering a website, with a name of your choice and ten email addresses and a free website design service AND you pay only $10 a month to one firm. There is no contract and you can leave at any time or change the email or website addresses.
I think that that represents a very good deal for a business website (you can imagine: sales@….; info@….); a family website (everyone can have their own individual, private email address) or an affiliate website (using redirects and multiple email addresses: for PayPal etc.). But that is not all there is to it! You can actively promote that new hosting company or just put a referral link to it on the bottom of your website and make cash, month after month for ever more from referrals on autopilot from your visitors! And if you use the link below, you will get a free weeks trial, but fully operational account and three paying members in your downline, subject to a condition, or your first months $10 paid for you by us.
That cant be bad, can it? Five weeks free trial of your own domain, hosted on your own site, with 10 email address or a free week with three members paying you $3 a month to get your business off to a flying start with!
