Down Economy Positive Results

Good does come from tough times
Not your usual statement of “Well I Got My Health” type of thinking but rather what you can observe taking place in towns all across America even though this story is good as a global example however we focus our views about positive events in America during an economic downtown on what we see for ourselves and not even what the press preaches at us in the print and television industries.

How we monitor the positives during tough times
First we start by not living in the comfort zone of a glass bubble, so by trying to visit new locations and entering different places was a great good start for us because most people live in their comfort zone like driving the same way to work everyday or eating at the same restaurant everyday types of comfort zones.

Then of course there is the high net worth set of American’s that live to far removed from main street America again (not mentioning any names we know some) a type of comfort zone that expresses to us that facing the realities of the real world might prove tougher then they think so they do not venture outside for the most part and we are not talking about traveling in this article at all in fact we actually believe to travel usually on a set schedule though no doubt to different locations non the less it is to go again to a place far removed from reality and an expression of running away from reality.

Logic your writer is not perfect
There is not a thing wrong with doing all of the above but you cannot run a company or manage a family if you are kept sheltered from the reality of main street America approach and of course not to sound like some pre medonna we actually work all 7 days a week never travel and vacations why would we leave what you are truly passionate about your creative work, so you could say that work is our comfort zone and in fact you might even conclude that we could learn to work smarter and not harder so we would not work these hours and day each week for over 15 years now.

Even Logic sometimes is to critical on children and young adults
In the past Logic has bagged on carbon footprint builders (parents that produce children) about how they are to involved with their children’s or young adults friends, college, work and social doings leaving the child with no freedom to explore learn and get into trouble but even this writer was set a back recently over a new phenomenon that we have not seen since pre 1990 and that is young adults going out in record numbers looking for work and in many cases their first time. We see record movie industry box office sales and we have persons nation wide that work for the Fortune 500 food producing fresh and frozen that are in the delivery side of the companies sharing with us record month over month same route sells meaning that more American’s are eating at home.

Who cares who is doing this or going there
We all should because this is the positive thing about an economic downturn and we have in our articles discussed this a few time but only really touching on the edge while writing other non related subject matters.

Welcome to the return of back to basics, back to values
Look Logic might not have any children however Logic stands for Family Values and when for many children the last economic downturn a small one in comparison to the current one in our opinion were to young to know or even ask for 200.00 jeans, 800 game stations or 400.00 MP-3 devices but when they became old enough they asked for and usually always received what they asked for and you know why not but this story we have told now three prior times.

Young First Time Job Seekers
We see young adults showing up at a lot of businesses, job fairs and hear they are looking online increasingly as well trying to find jobs and this is the second best thing to come out of these tougher times and we applaud them for this.

Maybe they are out because their parents are using a nasty word these children and young adults have not heard since they were old enough to talk the dreaded “NO” word and little do these parents know this economic downturn gets most of the credit for the forced to now use the “No” word either way this is a great positive.

The Return of Family Dinners at Home
No now before you say Logic is to old fashion and cannot be saying that we are going to actually return to sitting around the dinner table as a whole family actually having conversations with the television off and text message devices in the children’s rooms during dinner but none the less fresh and pre prepared meals like even frozen pizzas are really on the rise meaning more people are staying at home and this is a positive step in the right direction to the returning of family as a unit besides we read and we ask so many people how their favorite restaurants are doing and along worth the tips being down we find that restaurants are raising their prices, cutting out the expensive ingredients, lowering the quality of the meat cuts.

Family survival and strength builder
Perhaps a family can eat a great dinner again around the table as a unit then go to the movies nd see the same movie yah i know all members of the family agree to see the same movie together but if they do the next night for dinner they can all talk about the movie as a unit.

Television Reality Series Idea
This just adds to a great reason for more families to eat at home and control the costs, see the quality they are buying maybe there should be a show featuring pizzas and turkey pot pies called Pimp my Pie or Pimp my Pizza as a tribute to the return to eating as a family at home. 

Writers Positive Notes
See or a least we hope you are reading this because Logic is very excited to see all of these events in family as a unit occurring and to tell you the truth down economies might even through little to know choice cause marriages to hold together as well in no small part being and sharing as a family could lend more cause at to why more effort could and should be applied to holding marriages together.

Ways to Sell a Domain Name Part 2

The second of three ways to sell a domain name
If you missed Part One or would like to review the easiest way to sell a domain name here it is Ways to Sell a Domain Name Part 1. We consider Part 1 as being closer to flipping a name rather then having any passion for domain names and that is why generally at least as far as the mass amount of domain names sells go you settle for less money but you have also applied less efforts beyond writing a check anyways. 

Part 2 is also the second easiest way to sell a domain name
We have certainly learned a lot over the years about domain names in this Part 2 we are going to share how to create the vision of the domain name perhaps the same vision you had when you thought up the name or when you grabbed it from a dropped domain name service.

What we will share in this article is creating and adding a logo, creating a simple site and adding content for the name that explains what the name is meant to represent on the Internet and this is going to be a little more work but still relatively simple yet very effective towards getting you more money for your names. Lets get started with a logo representing the brand of your domain name.

Creating a logo for a domain name
Ok to start we will need a domain name to use and since we have so many names we have randomly selected “OrangeCountySurfing.com” a three word domain name that is descriptive. It is a county in California named Orange County and it describes Surfing in that county so we have a lot of choices for the out come of this logo like a surfboard and orange an outline of the county so how about an orange avatar with arms and legs riding a surfboard on a wave ok we can go with this concept.

Realize that yours will need to be as creative so you see this was as easy as the drop of a hat but you should not spend more then about 100.00 dollars on your logo unless of course you happen to be a graphic designer then only your time is what it cost what ever your hourly personal value is we will need to be sure we get this back in the end when you sell this packaged concept.

Creating a site
Now a days you have choices as to what format your site is going to be and in fact when Logic writes we no longer refer to a web site unless it is one because there are other forms of sites today and some are free. You can choose to build a blog, forum, social network or a photo share site as well as the original web site.

So select the format you are going to build your name up on and research finding the software that is very available using your favorite search engine and typing in the keywords like “forum software” or “blog software” or just pay a web master to build you a 3 page web site of course after you have written the content that we are going to discuss next but be sure your site has three tabs one for the Home Page, one for the About Us or About Orange County Surfing Page and finally a Contact Us Page.

Be sure to remember that you are going to need to hire a site hosting company that will provide you with web site statistics so you can monitor and record your site traffic, then be sure the host provider allows you to also set up 3 to 5 email addresses for the domain name in our case Sales@, Info@, .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) etc. because this displays strength compared to having a free email address no one takes a gmail or msn account serious we usually delete them as consumers and you are no longer a consumer you are a business person.

Creating your site theme and content
Page 1
Now is where you need to put on your sales person hat and begin to write what the site could become remember this is going to be a three page web site in the case of Orange County Surfing so we are going to write about 1200 to 2000 words of site content describing surfing in Orange County and describing each Orange County Beach even adding photos of these beaches with surfing shots for just this Home Page 1. Add an advertise here 125x125 pixel box or two on the main page that is graphic and says Advertise Here or something that conveys like that with a click link that will send a form that opens to your .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address). 

Page 2
We are going to have an About Orange County Surfing Page this is where you are gong to write about your vision for the site like having live surf reports, weather, surfing discussion maybe even a photo sharing etc. You can see that the sky is the limit when it comes to sharing your ideas because you are pushing the reader to what to buy this site and make these written thoughts of your into reality so write and easy to envision fun project growth plan not a business plan but remember to show how you see adding ways to monetize the site like display advertising even membership to your surf reports or surfers hook up network whatever you can imagine.

Page 3
This is your Contact Us Page so be sure your using your new email address .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) for this page and one important note create a form with the usual name phone email address and a box that allows the person to write what they are inquiring about as well make all fields be fill in mandatory to reduce spamming your email inbox.

How to market your site
When you or the webmaster build your site be sure the important keywords are in the sites software code for Title, Keywords and Description and these would be the words that best describe your site and its purpose so that a potential buyer can locate your site with easy.

In our case Orange County Surfing the keywords are not only in the domain name OrangeCountySurfing.com but the site code would look like this Title: Orange County Surfing, Keywords, orange county, orange county surfing, orange county beaches, Description Surfing Conditions for Orange County Beaches featuring surfing condition forecasts at Orange County Beaches.

Now we need to get your site some energy and you need to promote your site anywhere and everywhere you can like forums, local newspapers and anything you can think up plus you might consider buying some high profile blog posts or advertising spaces on other sites that are about your subject matter so long as those sites are not competing directly with yours. Stay clear of the easy to do poor returns experienced on those search engine (PPC) Pay Per Click sites in our opinion especially when your site is not making any money.

There is under our Category Domain Name Investing a lot of how to promote your site tips so go there to look around read and learn because I do not want to write all of this again here.

Now as well you can return like in Part 1 to the domain name auction houses for offering your now envisioned create visual site because it is easier to see what you think the domain name can be and you can ask for more money now because the domain name is receiving traffic where as in Part 1 the domain name was just a name with no traffic values.
