This is the Day for Digital Outreach
The Internet Evangelism Day site explains strategies for this task, and showcases successful examples. A particular emphasis is how to build church websites that can reach into the community. It also offers downloads for churches and Christian groups to use to create a ‘web awareness’ focus day program: a slot within services or other activities which could be 5 minutes or 50, using their ready-made PowerPoint, video clips and other resources.

Your Domain Name

An Internet presence has rapidly become a necessity for both business and ministry these days. Whether you work independently, in a group, or with an organization, you need a place you can call home on the World Wide Web so that your accessible to your intended audience 24/7.

If your just stepping out online for the first time, you’ll need to choose a domain name – the “title-address” of your website, that lets people find you easily on the Internet. Choosing your own unique domain name is a critical first step in developing an effective Internet presence.

When it comes to actually deciding on a domain name, you’ll want to pick one that is well descriptive of your website’s main subject. A well-formulated word combination – easy to memorize and spell, will maximize the value of your online presence and help you maintain a good ranking in the search engines. Simply think of a name that will best convey to your visitors the idea of your website and choose its best matching domain extension.

Below is a bit more information about the main components of a domain name that you might find helpfull in deciding on one that best suits your needs.

TLD stands for “top-level domain” and represents the last part of a domain name in an Internet address, such as .com, .org, .net, etc.

SLD is the abbreviation for “second-level domain” and identifies the part of the domain name that you personally invent and that precedes the TLD

For example: in the domain name ‘mydomain.com’, the TLD is ’.com’ and the SLD is ‘mydomain’.

We offer a variety of domain name TLDs with our web hosting packages at lightbuilder.net and they come in two categories:

  • Generic TLDs, including the most popular, such as .com .net .org, etc.
  • Specific or country code TLDs, such as .ca, .co.uk, .eu, .com.tw and many more.

When choosing your TLD, you should consider the fact that most of the domain extensions, mostly country code TLDs, may have particular requirements and restrictions. You can find comprehensive information about the management features and requirements of each TLD in a table on our hosting website at www.lightbuilder.net

If you have additional questions about registering a domain name for your business or ministry you can email us using the contact form on this site.

Do I Really Need a Website?

Do I really need my own website and domain name to get started in affiliate marketing? The answer to that question often depends on who you ask.

Bo Blackwell Community manager for Click Bank sounds off in a brief 5 minute video below with our summary comments and conclusion following.

SUMMARY: Bo addresses the commonly asked question “do I need own my own website and domain to be a Click Bank affiliate?” SHORT ANSWER: “No, you don’t” (OK, now let’s get the rest of the story ;-) )

Bo continues, “you absolutely can get started without having your own website.” (NOTE: the key phrase here is “Get Started“)

Bo counters, “the long answer though, is that if your really serious about making money as an affiliate marketer, it’s probably a good idea.
Bo then gives 7 reasons for owning your own domain and website:

  1. Greater opportunity to build a following
  2. Generate Free traffic through SEO
  3. Google doesn’t do direct affiliate links
  4. Great for promoting multiple products
  5. Email subscriber list building
  6. Control over your visitor traffic
  7. Establishes a permanent presence

CONCLUSION: While it is pointed out that there are FREE platforms available such as blogger.com, for those who for whatever reason are just not ready for their own web hosting account, buying your own domain name and installing WordPress in your own hosting account is definitely recommended as a long term strategy for building a successful affiliate marketing business.
