Gary that's a great idea and something that I'll be implementing myself as soon as I make this post.

I was reading an interesting article on the founder of Digg and how in this same way you're talking about, you could basically own your own TV station (Youtube), your own newspaper (Blogs), your own radio station (Podcasts), your own distribution company, etc etc, by setting up a major online presence.

Basically you become your own little media empire without all the big brick and mortar media empire overhead costs.

Awesome stuff Gary, Love It!

Don't most people associate TV with the "old" TV format? Gary, owning your name.tv is great but not right for most people with more common names. I don't think watching web videos is necessarily associated with .tv. It's getting out of hand when you go to GoDaddy for instance and wonder wether you should also buy .name, .me, .mobi, .info. .net .org and .tv if your name is not available in .com then try .tv or even better, the fast growing .mobi I woudl actually recommend particularly for the "John Smith" crowd to create a brand new name that fits your personality and goals and turn it into your online persona with the .com

Great advice. I can honestly say it never occured to me to own my own name but you've opened my eyes. It makes great sense. It also has other connotations to it, for example it's a committment of self belief in what we are trying to accomplish.
Thanks
Paul

Hi Gary great advice. How crazy is it that people who work day in and out on the internet don't own their own name in .com by now ? btw are you friends with Richard Rosenblatt from Demand Media. He should be sending you a check for that ringing endorsement. Lastly, I think a lot of people are looking to the .me extension as well for personal branding.

Don't forget about GoDaddy's backorder service which basically let's you grab up a domain as soon as it becomes available. I believe they also have a service of theirs that you can use to have GoDaddy negotiate with the current domain squatter to purchase the domain from them.

I'm lucky enough to have an uncommon name, but for some reason never thought about the .tv Guess I should pick it up.

As I already own my .com domain I have to agree with you that it is the #1 domain to own personally if possible (name uniqueness permitting). Also, we shouldn't solely focus on the domains as much as content produced/delivered.

HI gary,
got to you via skelliwag.org.
You're afunny and very smart guy. I need an assist in finding an e-commerce platform that can track AFFILIATE Sales.

We are in a big niche market [Christians into their historical biblical roots in the Holy Land, from biblical to modern day story telling,] and have had some potential affiliates reach out to us.

We are having a hard time finding the right platform. We do not want to buy a software program and run it ourselves...

thanks,

Steve Deitel

Gary, this is the exact coaching that you gave to me in our consuling session. You will be happy to know that markmatson.tv is up and running. I am taking on all of the lies and garbage that is being propagated by the financial world and helping investors navagate threw all the garbage out there. Thanks for all of your help.

Already purchased my own .com recently. Just roughed up a quick blog that I am working on updating. (tech stuff for present/potential clients, plus stuff I'm passionate about...wine, PACKERS, vintage WWII airplanes, etc)

Excellent point about the .tv. Previous poster is correct...namecheap.com is cheaper than GoDaddy even if you use coupon codes.

Just have to see if the world is ready to see my ugly mug on video!

Daniel Kemp — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 12:25:52 -0000

OK I was looking at Go Daddy and their .tv domains are $24.89 a year. I went to Namecheap.com and their .tv domains are $17.99 a year.

I looked around for coupons and all I could find were ones for .com domains but none for .tv domains. So I think Namecheap.com is the best place to go for .tv domains.

I recently tried to buy my name with a .COM, .NET, .ORG, and .TV but they're all taken! Might I add my name isn't that common so I'm building a brand and buying the .TV for that brand instead :)

Makes sense about the .TV and just called Grandma today; it's her Bday so timely reminder.

Not sure I entirely agree with you on the .tv thing. I think short term it's a great idea. I think long run (and I mean really long run), TV is an antiquated notion. Maybe not for 10-20 years, but maybe .vid would be a better extension.

Gary, spot on video. In my opinion these are the only 4 TLDs worth registering for business or personal branding.

.com
.net
.tv
.eu (for european companies)

i have no idea why some people think .me is cool - seems pretty lame to me.

Love your videos gary.

I was trying to buy the domain www.runr.com and the seller wanted 30.000 Dollars for it :(

A .com Domains are not easy to get. Especially if it's short. I hate Domainparkers, I think they are criminal.
