How to profit from a domain name
Domain names are great to own, though you do have to pay the annual renewal fee. The cost to own or rather control a domain name is around $10.00 a year.
What type of domain name to buy?
When you select a domain name it is important that the domain name is a .com known in the domain name industry as a (TLD) Top Level Domain.
Buy a domain name on your favorite topic
What we feel is even more important is to buy a name that has meaning for example our article is about EmailMarketingForum.com and while we are a large holder of domain names our expertise at Viper Logic is in the email message delivery business for businesses, nonprofit and membership groups and the products name is Viper Mailer an email-marketing service provider or (ESP).
Developing EmailMarketingForum.com
Since we are the authority on the subject of e-Communications known as email-marketing this domain name makes great sense to develop because we understand and operate an email marketing service.
See one of our currently operating forum named Desert Forum for a clearer understanding of what a forum is.
Building our forum
This domain name is about and includes the keywords Email and Marketing and Forum and because forums are popular, this site will become a forum on the subject of email marketing.
My name is Logic
Creating a logo or brand for our new forum
Next because this is a forum we are able to purchase a forum software (free to under $100.00 dollars) already to go, but once you buy this forum software you will need to start by creating a logo a brand if you will to represent this new forum web site. In our case at Viper Logic all of our products and services including this article site you are on utilize our corporate mascot Logic the yellow avatar with cool hair, shoes and glasses.
Next we are going to need to know how many categories our forum is going to have and what subject titles (places that site forum visitors can post topics under) the forum will be offering.
The categories are easier to create when you are the expert on the topic that your forum is about. We have come up with a list of the categories for the EmailMarketingForum.com forum site.

Here is an example of what one of our email marketing forum descriptions would look like.

Logic’s thoughts on a focused topic forum
Forums in general are on a focused topic similar to the Email Marketing Forum is on the topic of online marketing and email marketing. There are forums on literally every topic you can think of like cars, sports, machine tools, movies even the deserts of the world.
Benefits of creating a forum over a web site
What makes a forum great is that they are rich in the all important content any web site needs to be indexed by the search engines and that content needs to be on topic that your web site or forum is about.
As mentioned earlier you can just purchase a forum software upload it to the Internet through a hosting company and begin adding your logo, categories and descriptions and away the site goes.
Forums are great because the content changes everyday, these daily entries are very important as too how often your site is indexed by the search engines.
The even best news is the power a forum has for any busy person is that the content is added by member of your forum releasing the forum owner from having to take time to write the content.
