Buying your Name’s Domain Name

Do you own your name’s domain name? If you don’t then this is the time to do so.

I bought my name’s domain name 4 months ago (omarkattan.com) and have been developing it as a search blog ever since.

The main benefit of owning your name’s domain name (especially the .com one) is that it shows up in first position when people search for your name.  This is becoming more important since more and more people are “googling” people they want to learn more about.  Googlers can include:

1. Employers wanting to learn more aout you

2. Bankers wanting to investigate you before they give you a loan

3. An ex-spouse wanting to research how much money you have before he/she sues. (Okay, okay they probably already know that piece of info but I ‘m trying to make a point here!)

It is therefore a good idea to buy your name’s domain name and the process can’t be simpler.

1. Go to a domain registrar like GoDaddy.com

2. search for your name.

3. buy it (it usually costs around $9)

4. Develop it.

Good luck and if you have any questions fire away…
