I've been doing research for getting my own website... The only thing holding me back is funds. I mean, I could get a domain name and website today, but I really should wait.
Anyway, www.3lilmonkeys.com is taken (by a travel agency?!) so I was thinking of getting www.my3lilmonkeys.com. Thoughts? I would love to choose something completely different, but I'm afraid it would cause confusion. I will probably get the domain name soon and just re-route it to my Etsy shop for now because I am wanting to get new business cards and a new sticker for my car (I have one that has my etsy shop URL on it, but I haven't put it on my new car yet). I just think it's easier for people to remember a simple URL rather than having to remember a ___.etsy.com. Seems like too much.
So that's my plan. first things first, get a domain name. Eventually, get a wicked sweet website. If I had the funds I would see if MiKE would let me purchase his services for biz card design and simple web design. I might splurge for the biz card design, but I think I'll go for a template at first when I get a website set up.
Hmmm... I'm rambling again AND I should be studying for finals tomorrow... Dang it. I just have this business on the brain because I have SO many projects waiting to be completed I'm so excited to have some free time!!!!!
I wonder why a travel agency would need the name 3lilmonkeys! Seems alittle odd. I know what you mean about all these things kinda take over your thoughts...there is a lot to having a business, isn't there!

Oh, and what about using the word "three" instead of the number 3? or spelling monkeys "monkies"...
ReplyDelete(just a couple thoughts I had.)

Ooo, that's a good idea to re-direct it for now! I'll put my thinking cap on.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the domain name... My business name is too long to have a site without shortening my name
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about funds.
ReplyDeleteI like my3lilmonkeys.com
Good luck on your finals!!!!
woolies.com is gone, so is woolies.biz or .net or anything else.
ReplyDeleteI had not thought of 'my woolies'...hmmmmmm
ps love your work!!
I'm on the same thought path as far as domain names and whatnot. I tell someone i have website they can go to and they automatically say "Laceyinthesky.com?" Errr, no. & People who don't shop handmade that often have no idea what ETSY is so they can't remember it. Anywayyy... I love your blog!(just found it through forums on etsy!) & I think mythreelilmonkeys is a good alternative!
