For those of you who run your own business, work in marketing or want an online presence this year (or anytime), you'll need to establish your own identity/persona.
I've done this with atchan. If you need help, reach out to me. So here are some basic steps:
1. Decide what your goal is.
2. Pick an identity that isn't online. Create something and google it. If it comes up, chances are it's taken. If not, great!
3. Check to see if the domain is taken. Click this link and check on Godaddy.com to see if your name as a domain is available. If so, buy the .com for around $8. Don't buy the additional services, you don't need them.
4. Establish email for your domain. It's free. You may need some technical help with this.
