Without a domain name, websites are specified by an IP address. An IP address is an identifier that is used by computers or humans to determine the location of a server or website. However, for people, an IP address, (which is expressed in a numerical format), can be difficult to remember. That’s why domain names were invented. With a domain name, a person can locate a website through more user-friendly words or phrases. Although numbers can be part of a domain, they are usually not used to make up the entire name, like an IP address. If you intend to use the Internet for advertising, your domain name should reflect the purpose of your home-based business endeavor.

Domain names have several parts. The first is known as the URL, (Uniform Resource Locator). The URL tells the browser what the domain name is going to point to. This will usually be 'http', which means the browser can expect to locate a hypertext document--the webpage. In the rare cases the URL is not 'http' it may be 'ftp', which means file transfer protocol. Webmasters would opt to use ftp for visitors to download files from their server.

The second part of the domain name will be "www," which stands for "World Wide Web." This phrase lets computers and people know the site the domain name is pointing to is actually from the Internet. It is followed by the actual domain name, which can be a combination of letters, numbers or phrases. A good domain name will be short, memorable and most importantly, search-engine friendly. In fact, good webmasters tend to concentrate more on a domain name's effectiveness with SEO, (or Search Engine Optimization), than they do its creativity. To do this they make sure to choose a domain name that has a widely searched keyword reflective of their business objective.

The final portion of the domain name has what is known as an extension. This lets a person know a little bit more about a website's origins. For example, take .com, the most common domain name extension, stands for 'commercial', and was originally intended for business organizations. However, now the extension is used by virtually anyone creating a website. This is for good reason, since most web surfers will think about the .com before they would think about .org, .biz or .net. Yet, other extensions can become memorable. Consider Wikipedia.org which is a wildly popular website despite its .org extension.

Domain name extensions can also specify things on a geographical level. An example is country-based extensions such as .fr, (which stands for France), or .jp, (which stands for Japan). They can also be state-based, such as .ca, (which stands for California). Both can serve as excellent tools for localized Internet marketing of your home-based business.

To get a domain name, you can either: 1) get one from their web hosting company, provided they offer that service or 2) get one from a separate domain name company. Prices will vary with both options, though typically the cost will range from $6.50 to $35.

The idea of being a mere passenger on a ship sailing to the farthest points doesn’t appeal to people who like to take charge of their destiny. They want to steer the ship themselves and go where they want. Being aboard a ship on its way to a particularly great destination is something each of them dreams of, and knowing that they have the capacity to steer it themselves makes them actually want to.

Maybe this is the reason more and more people are succumbing to one of the most popular home businesses around – affiliate marketing; a business with no bosses to order them around. There are no deadlines to meet and no clutter of work do to. You only need to have the tools to succeed in a business such as this, and you are bound to get your heart’s desires.

Just what do you need to succeed in affiliate marketing or any home business? What must you have within yourself to be able to do well in this industry? There is a lot of competition, and to be able to rise above the norm, you must be properly equipped to move forward. There are five things that are a must for achieving success and to stand out in this business.

The very first quality one must have is the willingness to learn and be trained. Treading through unfamiliar territory is scary if you’re not properly equipped, and therefore you might get lost. Learning the tricks of the trade is an important aspect of the game, and one’s willingness to know as much as possible will provide a far better advantage.

The second is having the willingness to invest time and effort even if you don’t see direct results immediately. Although several months may pass without any apparent success, it is important to hold on once you’ve started your affiliate marketing business.

The third thing one must possess is self-determination. If you want to conquer the affiliate marketing world, you must have the ability to push yourself forward. Never giving up is an attitude every affiliate marketer should have, as this ability to motivate one’s self keeps you from giving up before you have the opportunity to succeed.

And fourth is discipline. If you work energetically everyday doing something constructive for your business, you come closer and closer to fulfilling your dreams.

Fifth, but not least, is optimism. Negative attitudes and hearsays should not discourage an affiliate marketer from pursuing what s/he has to do for that better life. Don’t allow anyone to influence your attitude toward the business you’ve chosen. You must remain in charge, the captain of your own ship.

Affiliate marketing is all about taking charge. For your success, be willing to learn, invest time and effort, be determined and disciplined, and remain optimistic in your home-based business endeavors and stay on course.
