I'm moving the focus of my business to health coaching and I need a website. Talk to me about domain names.

CoachBrandie.com
myname.com
HealthCoachBrandie.com

Something else?

Thoughts?

I like CoachBrandie. It seems very approachable.

I am not very good at figuring out names or whatnot, but something pixieish would be cute. Who wouldn't want to have a pixie for a coach?

J and I are brainstorming here. I like CoachBrandie.com. J asks: do you have a special angle to the general health coaching genre? From a pagan or other personal viewpoint? Or do you want that completely separate? NaturallyInBalance.com or such is J's suggestion.

Can you combine your ideas and do something like BalanceCoachBrandie, or are you going to get too many hits for gymnastics?

CoachBrandie is nice and simple, easy to find, easy to market, and will grow and change with you as your business changes.

I think your name is a pretty good brand identity, and it is flexible enough to change as you do. It's why I own sheeri.com :)

Otherwise, I might go for something cute and catchy -- CoachBrandie.com works, but maybe something like BrandieForYourHealth.com or something like that -- a play on your name. (DrinkMyBrandie.com is wrong, and the former is too long, but maybe something like brandie.com/foryourhealth is good enough? But brandie.com is already registered, poop).

I think your name is enough, and it will change with you.

Here's a couple things to think about domain names. It needs to be something that's clear in your message, easy to say to someone, and easy for them to remember. One concern I'd have with coachbrandie.com, is if you tell someone, they may try coachbrandy.com. Not that you couldn't get both, and redirect the wrong one to the right one. ;)

Avoid getting too long in your domain names, it makes it more difficult to sell outside of the internet.
