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@, 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 . 

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 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.

Email Marketing Tip Human Resouce Communications Tool

Building on employee moral
The Viper Mailer Email Marketing service will do a great job conveying the messages of corporate communications to each employee or team members in a company and or personal email inbox and provide a medium of including each person from the cleaning crew, manufacturing floor to the chief executive officer for a company of any size because in an age of communications equalizing information to all is so important.

Corporate Teamwork
Look you can see that a person working as a janitor or shop assembly worker is not working at a desk with Internet and email inbox access not to mention Teamwork 101 that there is no one person in any company that is an “I” because there is not “I” in TEAM however there is an “I” in WIN and to WIN you need to be a TEAM so the Viper Mailer email marketing service provides a safe guaranteed sure way to communicate to any location and any company employee at anytime.

HR now has Viper Mailer tool benefits
No person shall be left behind when you use the Viper Mailer service and since you have the company employee email addresses and in some cases each employees home or personal email address and just in case you do not have home or personal email addresses they are easy to collect through your mid management via a request memo from the HR Department and now you have collected them all and can begin workplace equalization.

Why you will need the home email contacts is primarily for those team members not connected everyday to the computer as a part of their work function as examples you might have tellers, truck drivers, shop machine or assembly workers perhaps you have thousands of outlet operations with tens of employees at each location that are all just as important to the company but other then printing and proofing a newsletter and mailing it to each home address there is no way for each person on the overall team to truly be connected.

What makes the Viper Mailer HR communicator so great
Let’s start with the obvious and work our way through all Viper Mailer will do for you and your company then you will see how great a tool you are applying to employee team building and equalizer.

Customized Newsletter Template
We offer the ability to have your graphic department design an HTML corporate branded template one time that you can easily upload into our system and our system will treat this similar to a word document but on much more powerful scale of features, you can change your corporate messages each month on your own keeping your brand predominant as well as your team members will see and familiarize themselves with this template after the first newsletter. If you do not want to go through the graphic department then you have the choice to select one of over 70 we have for included in your account.

Email List Management
Here is a true fact people change their personal email addresses all of the time and fail to notify all of the necessary people they should including the company they work for so along with your email marketing account is our email contact list management tool that tracks the open rates true but it also returns all of the bounce backs like mailbox full which is fine you can resend these a few days later.

One even better feature is the hard bounce that is what happens when the email address is no longer working because usually it is a closed account or the email service member has changed their email address. When you receive these types of hard bounce returns you can contact the mid manager or branch manager and request a new email address for this person keeping the equalization of company updates delivered to all employees at the same time.

The next great contact list management tool feature will do for the HR Department as in the case you have more then one type of newsletter for different operations or corporate levels you can separate your contact list into groups say Group A management letter, Group B satellite operations newsletter and Group C team members newsletter. This tool can make what perhaps used to be a management nightmare a true cake walk.

Email marketing is cost effective and green friendly
Creating, proofing, printing, postage and mailing out these corporate moral builders is costly yet very important so it is a necessity to continue doing this to keep the team in the loop of all that is going on from the headquarters about new products, services, educational training, leadership changes.

Often the only time a satellite operation shop floor worker or those all to important maintenance workers know anything it comes down the pipe from employee to employee months after these things happen but with Viper Mailer email marketing these same valuable team members from the top to the bottom of the corporate ladder all receive information about their company all at the same time a real equalizer tool everyone is important comes from this service tool.

The use of electronic mail replacing or reducing the print stamp and mail newsletter shows you are green conscious and the cost saving is unbelievable as well as the time to create a printed version becomes simplified when you go electronic.

Tracking corporate moral just got HR simplified
Here is the final nail in the convince me why to use Viper Mailer over just sending our corporate information to our team members through our own email system. Besides that you can maintain correcting those changed email addresses (hard bounces) you can now see how many employees opened their corporate newsletter.

When you build your newsletter keeping this short (one page) and usually send them out on a monthly bases to not over do the communications unless there is breaking news of course you can build in landing pages to the corporate web site where the full story or image or article is located and the Viper Mailer account system tracks how many newsletter recipients clicked on the links that take them to the landing page or pages on the corporate web site making sure your team members are holding interest in the company’s activities.

Gay Schools in American Cities

Reading the press we see the US might have 2 full Gay High Schools
Logic has thoughts about gay schools in America because I am living in the city of Palm Springs that is predominantly a gay community with a gay mayor in a same sex partnership or marriage with a pair of adopted children.

Marriage of same sex partners is legal in California so the amount of marriages in the Palm Springs, California area is of course on the rise.

Gay parents raising gay children?
Logic has a great idea for not just a gay high school but an entire and perfect Gay School District and it starts in Palm Springs, California where we can do it because the Mayor can begin the process of having the second or third gay school in the American school system. See today we read that the Harvey Milk High School in New York is the first gay high school in America and stands as the national model and now we also read that Chicago has a group of LGBTQA persons pushing for their very own gay high school, the timing could not be better for Palm Springs to make national news with an entire school district.

Neither region mentioned is truly as gay orientated as Palm Springs and hey we already have the Palm Springs Gay Associated Youth and PFlag here Gay Groups in Palm Springs as well the city of Palm Springs holds to major annual gay events that are very internationally popular with the annual Gay Parade here Palm Springs Pride Parade and the annual White Party and in fact there is an entire list of gay Palm Springs events and gathering here Gay Events in Palm Springs.

How Palm Springs can become the first total gay school district
So with all of tools in place City Council, residents groups and organizations, in our opinion Palm Springs, California is a great place to have an entire school system devoted to gay all of the way.

Gay from the first day
Why should we wait until high school think about this, we have two men or woman raising babies as couples now all over not just Palm Springs but more then likely every city in America today plenty of children to get the ball running don’t you think? and with the gay communities growing in great numbers, so we could start with kindergarten and take it all of the way through until high school graduation.

We would have no problem finding gay teachers they are everywhere in our school systems throughout America and hiring an all new gay unified school district would be easy to staff as well.

Logic’s Thoughts
This sounds like a return to segregation moving America and American’s a like back in time is a real American tragedy. When was it that ones sexual orientation was the bases for a special needs school, this would set back America 100 years in progress.
