Domain Names that make Money during a Recession Part 1

A way to personally grow in a down economy
This is the day where Logic wants to share what and how to grow. You might need to grow your business? You might need to grow your household income? This investment strategy is not a get rich tomorrow idea and it is not investment advice. This is what Logic is doing and why Logic and other friends are doing it now.

Logic has a war chest of great Domain Names
Reading the news papers lately and watching CNBC the global financial news channel Logic sees that the economic recovery is going to take some time and if you are an investor then you know that the timing is coming nearer to buy into everything for less as we begin seeing lows around 2009 late to anytime in 2010, 2011, but then in 2012 if you are not in your investments Logic will say you clearly missed the bottom of most markets.

Here is how Logic looks at a recession
Do you make the same money today as you did a year or even two to three years ago? If you answered yes then you are headed into the personal world of stagflation. We as individuals do not need the government to tell us we are in tough times. Though after watching those economic indicators since 1983 even Logic realized the best indicators are right under each of our own roofs.
What one needs to review and be honest about is our own personal financial situation. Let even say that you are making a little more money today then you were 2 or even three years ago. Are you having to meet a larger quota to earn your pay? Are you working more hours per week then years ago?

What is Stagflation?
It is a slowing of the economy, and this occurs when there is no growth (look at your pay checks growth) yet the cost of everything from food, gas maintenance services, other services, health-care, and anything else you and I can think of rise. If you are spending more for the same items at the grocery store or more to fill up your gas tank then welcome to stagflation.

Stagflation will tighten every belt in the world
Stagflation is worst thing that can happen to an economy like America’s because we are primarily a consuming nation buying and consuming more today then ever in our history. This is because our country produces very little in the way of manufacturing and thus, stagflation is going to prevent us or require us to spend less on everything we want to go do like vacation or buy like a candy bar or an LCD flat panel television. Yes knowing and being and American myself Logic will still by that candy bar, but it might be the generic one instead of the exotic one. As for that new LCD TV it will be a 32 inch instead of a 50+ inch one.

Reduced Spending causes a rise in Unemployment
Looking above we are still spending, but buying more items on sale, and buying smaller versions of the items we do buy creates a limited growth for those manufacturers and for the sales outlets. These producers and sellers begin to reduce employment demand and across the nation and the world there becomes and even less demand for the current number of existing employees and in fact because of this deduced spending by us all as the masses there will be no employment growth. There will still be those people entering the work force for the first time at the same high rate each year.

Control your future financially starting today
This is not going to be a great time for those will for go say a vacation be it personal or as a family. You might even start packing a lunch or having only one dinner out a week to mention a few ways to gather enough money to join Logic and friends in the domain name investment world.
There is no doubt that for those willing to redirect their spending, the price of a few meals out for dinner that you are certain to have a better chance at gaining a financial future offsetting at least the rise in cost we are seeing in our daily spending habits.

Look into a domain name like Logic owns, and this can be done
We thought we would just pick a name at random from our vast domain name portfolio and turn it into a profitable online revenue stream. This way we will have an example of a real case scenario to look inside of the domain name investment world. We are going to select ValleyCafes.com from our portfolio here ViperNames.com cafe domain names where we selected this name from the coffee and cafe category.

Tomorrow Part 2
We are going to utilize ValleyCafes.com and build it into a money maker sharing this technique with you so you can go out and begin having an income stream of your own. 

Information Overload Syndrome

Information, Can it Kill you?
Some-days Logic wishes to be a doctor or a scientist. (I am nether)
Besides that you can wish to be anything in life you have to learn and educate yourself to become through effort and passion.

This way when we write about our theory they could be trusted as factual. However this Blog allows us to share what we are researching in our society in regards to the amount of information we are all receiving in our lives everyday.

This is a fascinating theory
It will take a lot of explaining to describe the way we gather and then process information. We humans are overwhelmed with to much information and there appears to be a helplessness about ourselves, a feeling of never endless tasks to be completed.
In our theory there are two sides to how we each process and categorize the information placed in front of us each day.
So we must separate these two storage bins into there place and then focus on each ones place in this description of the Information Overload Syndrome.

One the entertainment side or time occupier allows us to escape with no real thought required, and the second requires application and efforts that most humans would rather avoid regardless of the ramifications to ones quality of life through advancement in education applied.
We feel that the second leads to a type of condition like a denial of sorts described as Information Overload. Knowing what is the right thing to do with our time and having total access to the information to accomplish anything, but distracting our time by focusing on the entertainment or pleasure side instead because it provides a temporary feeling of goodness.

What is Logic talking about today
It is the introduction to Information Overload Syndrome a type of disease that is hitting the world at least those connected to the world via our computers, MP3’s, Cellular Phones, and PDA’s to mention a few and this would mean most of us, because most of us are connected.
Of course we own the domain name for this syndrome InformationOverloadSyndrome.com.
We actually hope that someday someone will want to build this syndrome web site into a true and inspiring self gaining human motivator site.

Why this Identification
Long ago Logic and the Viper Logic team began to see a world evolving that put everything in front of us all right now and we began to become a nowisum society.
The younger adults born around 1980 and forward the alleged connected generation are actually not connected at all. They find it to much that they are always available via this connected world, and this generation appears to have had it easy from and economic stand point with money in the plenty and parents willing to give them anything they wanted or might have even kind of thought they needed.

Humans Connected
We all download something or another like movies, music, games, jokes, files, documents, educational information, e-books, pictures, and everything else we can imagine, and there it is, loads and loads of information for pleasure and for education.
Now we have access to all of this information from A to Z and everything in between. What good is it to have 5.00 dollars in your hand and be standing in say a high end department store. You can look but you cannot buy anything. This is what information can do to you. There it is all of that data waiting for us to do something with. Some of us organize it, catalog it, move it from one device to another device, share it one friend, co-worker or another.

What to do with to much information
Let us share what we observe with human behavior when it comes to having to much to choose from.
Lets say it is winter and you want to build a boat for summer and you start reading and understanding boats like there is no tomorrow. maybe you even started building the actual boat.
Then a few days or months into the boat building project you rec and email from a friend that shares his or her new, this or that they are working on and they show such enthusiasm ie passion about their project that you decide hey, I want to do this also so you begin on that as well.
Then winter turns towards summer and you want to go on a vacation.
So you begin the research about where and what you are going to do, except you rec a phone call from a travel agent or and online travel agency and they tell you if you want to go here or there and you act today on this opportunity you can save and unbelieveable amount of money and that is good because you have spent so much money on your boat project and starting a hobbie like your friends hobbie you wanted to do as well, so you jump on this low cost travel deal.

Starting your syndrome symptoms
Now you are also under pressure at work to complete a project deadline and your future rides in the balance on how well your portion of the team effort comes out so you hop on the Internet and off you go researching and downloading this and that compiling these figures and those statistics and you are beginning to balance a lot at one time.

Adding to the symptoms
You have two children and as summer nears so does there final jr high and high school exams that you are going to to just about have to do for yourself even though it is for them. By the way has anyone even noticed that the house is in disrepair? other then your wife who has made a list of things the house needs to stay up to pare with the neighbors. She has her list and you know that you are going to need to research on the Internet about how to fix this and that because you cannot afford to hire anyone to do this, you know the economy is in a downturn, you have boat project underway and that hobbie you wanted just like your friend and you already spent the money that little extra that may not have been extra after-all on buying your vacation, but you did save money of booking early.

Overload Syndrome hits right here right now
Almost there you see while you were juggling all of this your daughter during cheer class fell and broke her arm and not to worry you have insurance from work no doubt it is one of those 60/40 plans because you needed to save some money on the policy plan. Your daughters arm will get better do not worry however the bill came in and your cost was 50000.00 dollars a hell of a fall and therapy recovery cost but your daughter is clearly worth every penny right of course she is you now have to pay the 40 percent your share the insurance did not cover.
All of the above is a juggling act but god for bid should us humans make a sacrifice today for a more beneficial tomorrow I mean are you crazy because the neighbors and your co-workers want to see you in a new car or on a big vacation because this way you can show them how great you and the misses are doing in your life, and oh hey you work so hard and you are both so tired from your 8 hour work days that you deserve this and you earned that.

Welcome to Information Overload Syndrome
Some might call it stress. Stress is a figure of one own doing and is completly avoidable. From the outside it is stress but, this stress is mostly due to having to much information thrown at us from all angles without really even barely having to read it. Then there it is all of it the information highway that brings on information via your searching, exposure to media and those mystery emails in your In Box.

The History of Human Data Storage
We used to record television programs from rented movies to family events and we stored these at the time on VHS tapes. We hardily ever watched them yet, once the DVD came about we converted by recording our VHS tapes over to DVD’s all while still never watching them again.
See in the living areas of a humans home near the television you will see these large accumulation of stored VHS tapes and or DVD’s with yet more information on them. The human while watching television will also be staring at all of these stored information tapes or discs. We could not leave out those photo albums you know the ones we all have in our overloaded garage, basement, closet, or rafters.
This used to apply as well to the albums, 8 tracks, cassettes, and CD’s for music.
That these items above that was all we had in our lifes prior to the Internet. It was our life work within our homes and we could handle this amount of stored data pretty well.
This was prior to MP3 data storage devices for audio and now video recordings.

The Entertainment Side
For this pleasure side we see people filling their days with lots of time consuming entertainment which is fine for relaxing however it may be and escape from reality and it might be causing a hidden anxiety in our day to day lifes. It is difficult to face the realities of our real lives and going inside of a game, a song, a social network, or a movie can detour our thoughts about what we should be doing or facing in the real world.

The Educational Side
While it looks like as a society we are turning a corner of being a global all for one economy, we actually may not be at all.
People buy books read them and download a lot of e-books and online courses and they actually complete these courses, but what seems to be more popular then ever while interviewing friends and family is that there is a real lack of applying these skills once they are gained. We clearly see this prevalently in college students and it is truly puzzling to why you would spend the usual four years in college or greater only to graduate then take a job that never utilizes these skills that were learned.
Important Note
Please remember that colleges are a business. They have a slide through course system to allow you the student to go through with success so they can gain their income from your being a student (client) at their institution. There is always that very minority amount of students each year that utilize their college education and advance into a doctrine degree or continue though college to become specialized in a single field of expertise.

Logic and Catnip Congratulate the Experts
For these students with a real plan we congratulate you, because the world really needs you and little might you know that in this global economy today and foriegn students are taking a better advantage of these opportunities and it is no where else more apparent then in the real work world that these students in most cases are becoming the average college students bosses and leaders right here in America.

Our Educational System
While we admit that this slide through college gimic has gone on in our educational institutions for ever it is more common today then ever in time. There is to much emphasis on gaining a good education and these educational institutions do allow our young to explore and help our youth to decide what it is they want to be later in life, it is none the less a modern day baby sitter business (most expensive baby sitter you will ever pay for) for the masses of our young population and a way for moms and dads to keep their young within their reach.
Who decided that going from high school then to college was to become the norm. The best way to learn what you want to become to us is to take a job and advance yourself into becoming anything in life you would like to become. Anyone can do this and it is the best eduction a person can get not to mention a great source of learning the all to important team work training.

College helps you decide what to become
Yes Logic knows the argument that going to college allows our youth to discover what it is they want to become, however there is a lot of buzz around becoming this or that because a movie come out and the movie drives the young to thinking this is what I want to become. Ok fine you are inspired by a movie great, but do you truly have a passion about becoming this or that? Or could it be the movie paints the glamorous side of the equation? You could end up extremely let down and disappointed about the carrier you thought was going to be so exciting because the movie was not reality. Just a few thoughts on the subject.

Occupy or Apply
Here comes the hard core facts that crate this Information Overload Syndrome.
Logic wants to share that information is at our fingertips today like no other time in history. In fact all of history is as well right at our finger tips as well. There are over 100 million blogs like this one and over 150 million web sites with information and links to information for us to either seek pleasure or education. More importantly is that this information in front of us all allows us to either occupy or apply.
The issue that is in front of us is the overwhelming amount of directions one can take. Logic would say what a great world our young have today as the access to information lies right there in front of them, however this information is there for us all not just the quote connected generation.

Example of entertainment occupying
Some people read a lot of books, watch a lot of movies, play a lot of games, and even join a social network and work on your friends and profile hour after hour and sure enjoyment. No doubt the world really today runs on entertainment and in fact we see people and how they actually idolize these movie actors, actresses, singers, and athletes. Wow the world spends a lot of time and a lot of money doing this everyday and this can truly when it is all said and done get us a person absolutely nowhere in our own lives.

Example of a carrier occupying:
So you want to know about welding, you read every book on the planet about welding from sky scraper welding to under water welding you take a full course in college about the molecular structure of metals in fact you even become a metallurgist, but if you do not weld for a carrier then why did you go through all of this to be some paper pusher in and office high-rise?
You did this to occupy your time. Time is all we have and while this welding venture educated you in metals and connections in metal it was a total waste of your most valuable asset, your time.

Example of business applying:
We at Viper Logic will work well for this one of course.
Here are three areas of what we do with the educational information set in front of us.
We are a software engineering and development company so we build solutions for current and future challenges everyday. We needed to get our web sites to a place on the Internet where you can find the information we offer so we took a course in SEO/SEM (Search Engine Optimization and Search Engine Marketing) so we could apply this to our business.
We do this for learning and then applying these same skills in utilizing the latest software and hardware tools for our business as well. A new stable software comes out on the market and Viper Logic takes a full course in that software and then applies it to the business right away. We do this for computer hardware as well.

Example of hobby applying:
We wanted to learn how to be lock smiths so we bought the tools took the lessens and then applied them to one of each lock produced in the world today. We worked at each lock that we bought and got it picked.
Next we wanted to learn watch repair and off we went buying every tool on the planet for every watch then offered to fix watches for our friends and family and we today continue to repair watches and in fact we have even built a few watches from scratch.

Applying is a great release from overload
You can see from the three examples that we went through some really tough courses on advancing our business and we applied these educational courses right away. We even took this a step further and applied this to our hobbies which of course are profitable to us as well.

You can say, well I am not into money
I will of course reply with a humble Bullshit. You need money I need money or rather money needs us all. To do anything money is required and without it you are not going to be able to watch your favorite movie, music, or sports star.
What really sets us off is that in all of our conversations, a sort of casual interview process with people, friends, students, and family is that we are utterly amazed at the number of people who live somewhere they do not want to be, work somewhere they do not want to work, or they are in relationships they do not want to be in. Money is the single largest driving force in achieveing or correcting these three reality issues in all of our lifes.

Making Choices
All of this leads us to want to escape from one or all three of these realities and most of us will run to the Internet for that escape. This where you have a choice to make.
A Do I go to the Entertainment, pleasure side?
B Do I go to the Educational, advancement side?
The choice we make here will either, leave you gaining a little satisfaction while still being unhappy. or set us on a path to regaining our lifes and our financial freedom.
This syndrome has a cure, it is money and financial freedom not just setting around buying an occasional lottery ticket thinking you are going to win your way out of this predicament. Effort and passion about doing and being the best at what you do is the best and safest way out of Information Overload Syndrome.

Commitment and Focus
Look and no one knows this better then Logic, learning something new is not easy and if you are learning something that you are not passionate about then you are not going to have fun, nor are you going successful depriving ourselves the financial freedom required to enable us to correct one or all three of those issues that are making us all so miserable.

Branding match, Domain and Company Name

Picking a domain name that is marketable
This is going to be and interesting sharing experience about selecting a domain name that we have not discussed until now.
Lets use a friend of ours, and their domain name is a great example of what not to do. Mind you this company we will be discussing is calling it self a marketing company?

Marketing Professionals should know better
They were until recently been going by the actual company name of Websites 2000 and their domain name was websites2000.
Today they have another name, but you can see for yourself that the domain name was out of date when the clocks went from 2000 to January 01, 2001. It took them another 6+ years to change their name to their new name.
Their issues were far greater and impact then just their domain name and it is this was also the name of their company. This made them sound dated, out of date, and a real marketing disaster was set into place the day they opened the company in the 1990’s then heading to January 01, 2001 forward.

There is thought required to begin your business
There is a lot of things to consider when you start a business from finance to branding to everything you can imagine.
However we are only going to share the company name, domain name, and branding around that domain name in this article.
When you decide to start your business it is really very important to begin with a name that can go the distance with you and those that will supersede you.
Not to mention like in the case of websites2000 they have spent years promoting their name, it was really a cool and futuristic advanced look when you saw it in print and on the Internet. You would want to do business with them at least until January 01, 2001 anyways.

Company Branding Error
Lets look at what happened to the marketing company. Even though they are still around they were a small operation to begin with and they had a little bit of a following however re-branding your company is an expensive thing to do, we all know that however there is something else going on when it involves the domain name. It is that domain names become of better value and gain search engine trust over the years. If the site is legitimate and trustworthy

Example of a search engine trusted web site:
We own a web site name Palm Springs Weather and you can get to it by going here Palm Springs Weather and this site has been running for 9 years offering the same relevant information with a high value. The site used to only really come to the top of the search engines under “Palm Springs Weather” when you did a search for weather in Palm Springs utilizing your favorite search engine.
Today however the site is in the top 5 to 6 web sites under the title of “Palm Springs” taking a higher place then most of the tourism, hotel, restaurant, and attraction web sites.
This takes place for more then just being a trusted long time web site but the time the site has stayed on topic really plays a roll in the overall success and branding process that the Internet understands.

Websites2000 conclusion.
Today they do use a 301 redirect (a way of sending a second domian name to a site with a domian name already in use for that site) to there new web site and the services they offer has changed slightly from when it was websites2000 but a redirect is a very dangerous risk to the page placement of your web site because they are printing their new name and the are branding their new name, but the old domain name is just going along for the ride.
It is no longer typed in by users and it is being accessed by fewer and fewer people compared perhaps to when it was the company name and the name was used in print and conversation and was indexed by the search engines on a regular bases.
This makes for a very bad marketing move in our opinion.

Starting a Business making this correct move
What they, the marketing company did correctly back then as well as now under their new name is to name the company the exact same as the domain name and to do this utilizing the .com only TLD (Top Level Domain) that extension on the end of every domain name.

Avoid these type of branding errors at all cost
It is the best practice that you avoid selecting a company name that utilizes a date, that is and easy one to understand. Never utilize a domain name that is another companies brand R (registered) built into it. That was a little tougher. Never buy a name with a TM (trademark) protecting it and it might be a slogan SM (service mark) really tougher, and even tougher you need to avoid some industries like the national association of realtors because in this example realtors is a registered trademark for the National association of realtors.
This means you cannot offer DesertCenterRealtors.com but you can go by the name DesertCenterRealEstate.com for and example.
It is really important to check into this before selecting a company name and as well a domain name especially because we want the company name and the domian name to match perfectly.

Researching your business name process
This is how we do our research on finding and available business name before we (in our case) file for incorporation status. We first come up with a list of names (6 to 10) that we feel will be something we want to see, hear, and read everyday for years to come. Then before we become that business we search using our list for domain names on each one so we can eliminate the ones that the domain name is already taken and now we are ready to move forward.

Business name look-up on search engines
Now that we have our list of business names with a perfect .com match with the domain names available we are going to go search the Internet looking for the names we have to see if they are in use on the Internet already so we can eliminate these names as well.
Here is how we do a business search on our own before involving and attorney in the expenses. You can do this early in the start of our business on your own by selecting your favorite search engine type in the name in this case and put parentheses around the name like this “Viper Logic”. This will limit the return results because with parentheses surrounding your search you will not get return results for Viper and Logic separated. If there is no return for your search you are off to a great start.

Domain Name Search Warning
When you created your list of business names you then went to search for the available domian names and there is something you will need to know about the risk of domian name searching without buying the name. It is really highly possible that when you do a search on any domain name look-up companies search tool like the one at ViperGate.com that your search is being tracked and if the name you find is available in particularly the .com ending there are groups that snatch these names while you are doing this research for a business name project. How to deal with this current domian name snatching issue that the industry is working really hard on to eliminate is to buy the name for the 9.95 dollars each and after the first year do not renew them or you might even decide to keep them and add them to your companies assets.
We at Viper Logic do this all of the time and today we have a really healthy portfolio of domian names for places, products and industries.
