How to Choose a Domain When the .com is Already Taken

How to Choose a Domain When the .com is Already Taken on the How Can This Be Easy Podcast by Krista Smith

Wondering what to do if your perfect domain that ends in .com is taken?

Small business websites are no longer an optional marketing tool. 

Your clients & customers expect you to have a web presence for your small business so they can quickly and easily find information such as your location, your prices, your services, and your contact information. As small businesses, we want to make it EASY for clients to hire us. Part of that usually involves deciding on a domain name.

If the .com is already taken, there are lots of things you can do.

In this episode you’ll discover:

  • 7 different + creative ways to get a .com
  • Why I don’t like using .net, .org, .co and other top level domains
  • And so much more!
