Buying a Domain: Don’t Start at GoDaddy.com!

I don’t want you guys to think I’m picking on GoDaddy.com, they do provide some great services. But if any of you has thought of a great business idea and gone to GoDaddy.com to buy your new URL, you’ve probably found yourself there about 5 hours later banging your head on your computer wondering how Blue14dogbowls.com is taken too!

There is a really cool tool that most of us should start our search at. It’s a little complicated but if you watch the tutorials, then you’ll quickly find that it’s not that complicated at all! The sites name is BustAName.com and I have no affiliation to the site other than I show many of my entrepreneur clients the site in order to ease their frustrating searches.

Google Checkout Tweeks: Allowing buyers to specify their own price, product name, description, or quantity

I found this incredible code out there from some of us professionals. Have you ever wished you could tell a customer to pay on your site? The problem is that you don’t have one price…. all checkouts force you to set a price ahead of time, i.e. a drop box that has a series of prices, $29.99, $39.99, $49.99. This looks unprofessional and can create huge billing problems. This is the issue!

What if someone just wanted to pay you half today and half next week? Google checkout has a little known code that will allow the user to name the amount they want to pay. Look at this example on my site.

With this box, I can simply send out a bill to a client and have customers pay online without giving me a card. I’ve also used this for customers that needed a project done immeditately.

To find out more…. go to Google Checkout. If you have any questions, feel free to call and chat with me.
