Benefits of A Website
• Reach Millions of People
• Far Cheaper than Print Advertising
• Operates 24/7/365
• Offers Convenience
• Growth Opportunity
• Explains the benefits of your business
www.ChrisGoffInvesting.com
If You Don’t Have A Website
Here Are the Facts:
Only about 35% of New Businesses SURVIVE their first year and less than 20%
SURVIVE after 2 years due to inexperience in MARKETING!
Most Businesses will FAIL without a website! Simply put, if you have a business
today, you need a website. Period! 64% of Businesses Fail because of POOR
Marketing!
If your business isn’t using social media, then you’ll probably be obsolete in 3-5
years!
Most Business Owners don’t know how to market their business and spend way
too much time perfecting their craft! Real Estate Investors spend their precious
time and money on outdated marketing techniques that simply don’t work
anymore!

10 Rules
To Choosing a Name
www.ChrisGoffInvesting.com
Rule #1
Brainstorm 5 Top Keywords
When you first begin your domain name search, it helps to have
5 terms or phrases in mind that best describe the domain you're
seeking. Once you have this list, you can start to pair them or
add prefixes & suffixes to create good domain ideas. For
example, if you're launching a mortgage related domain, you
might start with words like "mortgage, finance, home equity,
interest rate, house payment" then play around until you can find
a good match.
Google Ad Words will determine the best KEY Words!
www.ChrisGoffInvesting.com
Rule #2
Make the Domain Unique
Having your website confused with a popular site already owned by
someone else is a recipe for disaster. Thus, I never choose domains
that are simply the plural, hyphenated or misspelled version of an
already established domain. I still believe that Flickr desperately needs
to buy Flicker.com - I hear kids in their 20's tell parents in their 40's and
50's to see photos on Flickr and always envision that traffic going
straight to the wrong domain.
www.ChrisGoffInvesting.com
Rule #3
Only Choose Dot-Com Available Domains
If you're not concerned with type-in traffic, branding or name
recognition, you don't need to worry about this one. However, if
you're at all serious about building a successful website over the
long-term, you should be worried about all of these elements, and
while directing traffic to a .net or .org is fine, owning the .com is
critical. With the exception of the very tech-savvy, most people who
use the web still make the automatic assumption that .com is all
that's out there - don't make the mistake of locking out or losing
traffic to these folks.
www.ChrisGoffInvesting.com
Rule #4
Make it Easy to Type
If a domain name requires considerable attention to type
correctly, due to spelling, length or the use of un-memorable
words or sounds, you've lost a good portion of your branding and
marketing value.
www.ChrisGoffInvesting.com
Rule #5
Make it Easy to Remember
Remember that word-of-mouth marketing. You don't want to be the
company with the terrific website that no one can ever remember to tell
their friends about because they can't remember the domain name.
Use: www.SimpleRealEstateSolutions.com
www.ChrisGoffInvesting.com
Rule #6
Create and Fulfill Expectations
When someone hears about your domain name for the first
time, they should be able to instantly and accurately guess at
the type of content that might be found there. That's why I
love domain names like Hotmail.com, CareerBuilder.com,
AutoTrader.com and WebMD.com. Domains like
Monster.com, Amazon.com and Zillow.com (whom I usually
praise) required far more branding because of their un-
intuitive names.
www.ChrisGoffInvesting.com
Rule #7
Avoid Copyright Infringement
This is a mistake that isn't made too often, but can kill a great
domain and a great company when it does. To be sure you're
not infringing on anyone's copyright with your site's name, visit:
copyright.gov and search before you buy.
www.ChrisGoffInvesting.com
Rule #8
Set Yourself Apart with a Brand
Using a unique moniker is a great way to build additional value with
your domain name. A "brand" is more than just a combination of
words, which is why names like mortgageforyourhome.com or
shoesandboots.com aren't as compelling as branded names like
bankrate.com or lendingtree.com. SEOmoz itself is a good example
- "SEO" does a good job of explaining the industry we're in and
creating expectations, while "moz" gives a web association, and an
association with being free, open, and community-driven.
www.ChrisGoffInvesting.com
Rule #9
Reject Hyphens and Numbers
Both hyphens and numbers make it hard to give your domain
name verbally and falls down on being easy to remember or
type. I'd suggest not using spelled-out or roman numerals in
domains, as both can be confusing and mistaken for the other.
www.ChrisGoffInvesting.com
Rule #10
Don't Follow the Latest Trends
Website names that rely on odd mis-spellings (like many Web 2.0 style
sites), multiple hyphens (like the SEO-optimized domains of the early
2000's), or uninspiring short adjectives (like "top...x," "best...x,"
"hot...x") aren't always the best choice. This isn't a hard and fast rule,
but in the world of naming conventions in general, if everyone else is
doing it, that doesn't mean it's a surefire strategy. Just look at all the
people who named their businesses "AAA... x" over the last 50 years to
be first in the phone book.
www.ChrisGoffInvesting.com
Name Availability
Websites like www.Godaddy.com make it exceptionally easy to
determine availability of a domain name - just remember that you
don't have to buy through these services. You can find a name you
like that's available, then go to your registrar of choice.
www.ChrisGoffInvesting.com
Tip Before Choosing a Name
Search for ‘Key’ Words before deciding on a domain name
www.ChrisGoffInvesting.com
Home Page
Here is an example of
what your home page
should look like. When
building any site, be
sure to have capture
buttons everywhere.
Your goal is to capture
both the sellers and
buyers name and
email. This information
will be used for future
marketing.
www.ChrisGoffInvesting.com
Home Page
This page should be unique and simple. Keep the amount of words
down to a minimum, too many words and you’ll lose interest. Keep the
home page attractive to hold lookers and keep them searching through
your site. Curiosity is the key! I like to use pictures here. Have several
capture buttons that include free reports and more information. You can
also add a short video here that explains who you are and how you can
help.
www.ChrisGoffInvesting.com
Current Mentoring Student Website
www.ChrisGoffInvesting.com
Property Search Page
Having the capability to list your properties on your site will increase
traffic. Having pictures of properties on your site will help them sell faster,
thus increasing profit potential. Use this feature once you have an
established business.
www.ChrisGoffInvesting.com
About Us Page
This page should clarify who you are, what you do, and how you can
help. Start by saying: ‘Welcome to North Star Property Solutions, where
we are providing solutions to common real estate problems.’ I wouldn’t
put a picture of you here. You should speak through the company. North
Star does this, North Star does that. Not, Chris does this, Chris does that.
You can also add a short video that explains who you (the company) are
and how you can help.
www.ChrisGoffInvesting.com
Solutions Page
This page should list several ways that you can help home owners
and buyers. This list will include paying All Cash, Owner Financing, and
Lease-Options. Use the information on your special reports to help
explain each strategy.
www.ChrisGoffInvesting.com
Contact Us Page
Create a capture form that has the questions on the property
research form. Sellers can fill this form out and it will be automatically
emailed to you. You could give away a Free Special report to entice the
seller to fill out the form.
