New Domain Locked Down!
Blog, Make Money, Monetization, Domain Name, Wordpress April 6th, 2007After posting that I was considering purchasing my own domain with my first months earnings, I recieved a donation from fellow blogger Dylan who’s also talking about making money online over at WMHaven.com, to purchase a domain name. There are some good tips on monetization, and are definitely worth the time it takes to read them.
Okay so I am pumped that I don’t have to spend my current earnings on the purchase of a domain name, now I can invest them in another way! After realizing that my previous choice of caseysquest.com just got snatched up this week, by what appears to be domain tasters, I had to put my thinking cap on and began searching for domain names.
With a little bit of luck and inspiration from the recent big Willy Smith movie “the pursuit of happiness” I came up with pursuitofprofit.com . I’m just waiting for the domain to go through, so I can get wordpress on there and get to blogging hard on my own domain! It won’t be too long before it’s all loaded and ready for your eyes, I’m thinking Wednesday or Thursday of next week (It’s final exam time for me, that’s why it won’t be up as quick as it could be).
Thanks again Dylan!
Readers don’t forget to update your bookmarks and feedreaders when the big switch to pursuitofprofit.com does happen!

Sounds like you have a good name.

Yah James, I’m really liking the domain name. I’m just debating whether to use wordpress or blogspot on my own server. Any suggestions?

Way to Go! That is a good decision. I purchase my domain last week but haven’t done anything with it but I am going to remain positive.

Nice, what domain did you get Ginene?

I purchased FlavaOfBlog. I like to think positive one day. I can’t wait to interview you when you make your first $1000. That’s only if you let me.

Congrats on the Domain name and the Wordpress blog!
I really like the way you have it set up.
I have had my Domain name for about 6 years now. I am also looking into switching over to Wordpress. Is it hard to do? Seems like you can do so much more with it than Blogger.
Anyway, Congrats again!

Thanks Cooksey!
Switching over to wordpress was way easier than I thought it would be! I’m going to cover the steps in an upcoming post, but believe me it’s not difficult. The only thing that didn’t transfer over was the links associated with commenters profiles. However all new comments will have the links working!
I agree wordpress is capable of so much more than blogger. That’s the main reason I wanted to use it, and plus you own all your content!
