Branding Yourself Must Include Your Own Domain - CareerEnlightenment.com

Here are some pointers:If you have a common name, use your middle initial in your domain. Example, www.joshuabwaldman.comIf .com is not available, use .net or .org, but dont use any of the others.If you are still having trouble finding an available url, use one of the key-phrases you want to be associated with. For example, you can be, www.joshuawaldmanmarketinggenious.comAvoid dashes, they are cheesey, you can always capitalize the first letter of each word, for example, www.JoshuaWaldmanMarketingGenious.comSuggested Domain ResourcesJust for full disclosure, the links below are affiliate links.

And I use all of these:Get Your Domain Name from Name Cheap (they have monthly 10% discount coupons that you can find with a simple search. I hate GoDaddy and suggest you avoid them too.)Host your domain with: BlueHost  ( they have cheap and reliable hosting for simple sites, like blogs or portfolios)Learn how to set up your blog: from Laura Roeders Zero to Blogging videos
