What It's About
A listener wants to know if it's worth it to pay big bucks for a domain name.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1243
Domain names cost around $10 … at least, if they don’t already belong to someone. But what if you have your eye on the dot-com that’s perfect for you, and it’s currently for sale? How much is too much to pay? Today’s listener has found such a domain, but it costs a lot more than $10. What should she do?"Hi, Chris. This is Lorett from Houston, Texas. I've been listening to the show and I'm finally ready to take action. This is going to be a year of experimentation for me. My first Side hustle idea involves creating a YouTube channel and a Web site centered around a topic that I'm very passionate about starting out. I'm going to offer a course and I will also include affiliate links on my Web site. Here's my dilemma. The dot com domain that I want is available, but it's $2000. Do you suggest paying that much for a domain name? Or should I opt for the dot net or dot org extension instead? I've read the dot com extensions rank higher in Google.
