Your domain is your territory. Buy it now!

I only own about twenty domain names. What about you?

My first purchase and one I still have is whenlifestinks.com. My first book is a collection of my newspaper columns, entitled When Life Stinks, It’s Time to Wash the Gym Clothes. When Life Stinks was a possible “theme” for my then-launching business ideas.

I played with possible programs that patterned after my life: When Life Stinks, Move to the South of France. When Life Stinks, Get a New Husband. When Life Stinks, Follow Your Joy.

I soon grabbed kellyepperson.com and had whenlifestinks point to that. My focus did become following your joy, so I put to use joyjumpstart.com and joybeyondyourdreams.com. Before that, I was using journeyofyou.com because I like that for an acronym for joy. I soon learned someone else had joyjourneyofyou.com and was trademarked so I went with Joy Beyond Your Dreams. Trademarked it. Live it.

We have several domain names just in case, including kellyandjim.com. Who knows what future ventures will come. If you do not have your name yet, grab it, if possible.

If you don’t have your book title or working title ideas, grab them. For ten bucks a pop, it’s worth it.

Many companies own hundreds of domain names for books and products and possible ideas to come.

When book coaching left the back burner hobby spot and became a business, we bought BirthThatBook.com and BirthThatBookNow.com.

When you are playing with titles for your books and products, do a search to see if the domain names are available. I originally thought of Birth Your Book but it was taken. I like Birth That Book even better.

You can search and buy your names at godaddy.com or namecheap.com. Buying in bulk saves you a little cash too.

It’s fun to play around. Don’t put it off. I just bought StepIntoYourBiggerPurpose.com. Stay tuned!
