The internet is undeniably a treasure trove of opportunities for anyone. Some individuals are reaping its benefits in abundance, while others are merely scraping by. The question is, why is this so? This was a question I had to answer for myself after spending years working tirelessly online, chasing any program that promised financial freedom.
After years of unfulfilled dreams, I decided to take a step back and thoroughly examine the digital landscape. I questioned whether the internet was working against me or if I simply didn't understand its requirements for success. This led me to conduct extensive research.
Over a five-year period, I observed the rapid changes on the internet. I discovered that those who were making significant money online all had a few things in common. The most important factor, which I will discuss today, is the necessity of building an online presence.
If you aim to achieve long-term success online, you must start by building your internet presence. The first step in doing so is securing your own domain name. Having a domain name is not just for the experts or those promoting affiliate programs or small start-up businesses. It is a necessity for everyone who wants to claim a spot in the digital world.
Having your own domain name sets you apart from others and establishes your place online. A domain name is invaluable and crucial to your online success. Not having one could be detrimental to your business.
Free websites are no longer effective. They not only lack professionalism but also rank lower on most major search engines. Some search engines even restrict them.
The average internet user is educated, has a credit card, seeks instant gratification, and is eager to do business. They too want a piece of the digital gold rush. However, they are hesitant to spend their money where there is no solid sense of credibility.
These users are your current and future success. Since they cannot physically assess your business's legitimacy and credibility, they will do so visually and intellectually through your web presence.
Your domain name is extremely valuable. It can serve as your own product or brand name on the internet.
When choosing your domain name, consider the following:
Before registering your domain name, check its availability on 'whois.' You can do so here.
With your domain, there are many options for building your website. Pre-designed domain websites can save you time and money over custom-built ones. They allow you to add your own ideas, pictures, or links to your current business and/or program. However, you may choose to have one custom-designed. Both of these services can be obtained at a reasonable cost. You can find more information on that here.
With over 80 million internet surfers on the web each day, it is inevitable that all serious entrepreneurs will need a domain website. It is reported that there are 50,000 domain names being registered each and every day. That's over 1,500,000 per month and growing.
How many of those could you sell while more effectively promoting your current business/program? While at it, why not sell website services? Everyone coming on the internet with any intentions of making it big and staying the course will be in need of these same services too.
