Give me your opinion on my Domain Name For Video Tutorials Site

[Ruben5]

HI I plan on creating a video tutorial website teaching people wordpress, photoshop, and some internet programs.. I also plan on writing articles also about what I learned about internet business..

I selected the name letmelearngraphics.com

My question is does the name sound likes it only meant for graphic design? If start talking more about internet business in the future will the name hurt me?

I would really like someone's opinion...

thanks,
Ruben

Ruben (as much as I'm glad to be working with you) Let me get this right

You are asking if a name like letmelearnGRAPHICS.com

sounds like it is meant for graphics only

YES YES YES!!! what else could it sound like????!!!!

The word graphics at the end defines the whole thing

It sucks.

I was going to do this with a domain I bought a while back, called learnyourweb.com. I have yet to get around to do anything with it because of my main business. But it is going to cost you an arm and a leg to drive traffic though, lots of competition, not a lot of need (though there is some!)

Damn! Yeah your right! First the idea started with me just teaching photoshop, then I decided to start teaching wordpress and kinda evolved from there.. Oh well its not a big deal the domain only costs 11 bucks I guess I should start thinking about a new name..

But what do you think about the idea?

 

[Ruben5]

It sucks.

Thanks for your honest opinion..

What's your unique selling point??
You have lynda.com as competitor, so it better be good.

I selected the name letmelearngraphics.com

in general, 4 word domains are not so good

 

[orinoco]

it's a good idea, but the competition is really stiff

what you're outlining is the type of thing I have used so I'll give you my 2 cents worth on what pissed me off when I used it, this may give you some ideas on how you could market your tutorials to be better than the competition?

I have an older version of adobe suite, and I'm guessing many people also have this problem because its very expensive to upgrade. When I've been looking for tutorials on say indesign it's hard to see what version the tutorial is covering, and it's only when I'm into the first video that it becomes clear that I'm into the wrong one. It wastes my time and really pisses me off.

I found it unnecessarily difficult to navigate around some sites to find each series of videos for each product, and for each series they could have had text outlining the version and links to video for older versions. In short the organisation often sucks. It's been bad enough for me to go away and vow to never go back to some sites.

Your idea is a good one but I'm struggling to see how you could make money from this directly because your competition is free.

Well just to clarify most of my tutorials will be about wordpress, photoshop, keyword research, and programs like unique article wizard.. Is it a bad idea to only make tutorials about certain programs?

too long. Generally, you want two words. 3 words max..

nope, its a good idea I think to make tutorial videos about certain programs

my point was you need to be aware there are different versions of each program and your video should state what version it is of very clearly, and your site should be organised so users can find which version of which program they're looking for quickly and easily.

Agree, don't like the name.

There are already very good players (linda.com, teamtreehouse) so maybe you could think of focusing on a different niche.

Why not teach kids to use WordPress? A monthly subscription service that teachs them about new technologies and how to use them.

Or focusing on SMBs.

Why not build a brand? For instance you dont see something like electronicsstore.com beating something like bestbuy.com. I guarantee you barnesandnoble.com outsells the shit out of onlinebookstore.com.

Honestly domains like that kinda never catch on. No one remembers them. I read it 3 minutes ago and already forgot the exact domain.

 

[mapaul04]

Do a domain that involves money and relate all your articles/videos to how that will help make money. If your domain involves some sort of money/income reference you can always pivot in the future to something else. Thats my .02
programstomoney.com
makerzofmoney.com
learnyourtools.com
rubenteaches.com

I dont know just some ideas, maybe one of them will inspire you

Exactly, I don't see the word domain in the name godaddy

Or lynda.com for that matter

Hey Ruben,

Before I give you more input on this thread, I would really like to know what happened to the 2 other sites you started?

On one of those I put in 1+ hours personally helping out on and it would be nice to know that the advice didn't get buried just because you decided to start your now, 3rd site since you joined.

First off I just want say you pick the perfect name for this forum you definately speak the truth! lol And to answer your question for mystudyguides.com I got my website out of the sandbox (I hired an freelancer to fix the problem) and for my7daydetox.com I barely started to promote another ebook that fits to what people are searching for on my website and I sold my first ebook.

I barely started an internet marketing class and I already learned what I need to do next which is create a bussiness on things I am passionate about so I wont have to depend on SEO or keyword research...Oh and I definately learned alot of from this forum..
