Go reg a domain name, anything will do fine.
If it’s related to your niche (eg mortgages) it’ll be easier, but it’s not mandatory.

The words ‘yahoo’ and ‘google’ and ‘dell’ dont mean anything in the english dictionary, but there’ve been brands built around those words.

The cost of failure in internet marketing is $8 (for your domain?) and it just costs another $8 to try again.

Coming into internet marketing, you’d ideally want $1,000 - $2,000 to try stuff out, expect to fail at least some of the time and figure out what works.

So part of this thread is also inculcating the mindset that 90% of the stuff you try out as a newbie might crash and burn. But the 10% that succeeds could give you a 900% ROI.

So if you are serious about testing this stuff out, with free instructional guidance from the admins and mods here, then i think you need to scrap a budget together to at least give it a go.

IMO I get a lot of enquiries from people who want to make a million bucks, but they aren’t even willing to spend $8 on a domain name. There’s a bloody big disconnect there if you ask me.

Anyway, the bottomline is that part of this exercise is being in the right frame of mind starting out. You’re learning a system, and there were requirements posted in the first post.

It’s as much about (and probably more importantly about) the learning than just the money itself.

If you get that one lesson, you’re better than 99% of the people out there already.
