The Domain Name Panic That Hits Everyone Eventually
Hey,
Scott Max here with something that happened to me at 2 AM last Tuesday...
I was lying in bed when I suddenly shot up like someone had set off a fire alarm.
"Oh no... what if someone takes my domain name?"
Now, I already own scottmax.com. Have for years. But my brain decided 2 AM was the perfect time to worry about... other variations.
What if someone grabs ScottMaxCoaching.com? Or ScottMaxConsulting.com?
So there I was, in my pajamas, buying domain names I don't even need.
Next morning, I'm making coffee when I realize how ridiculous this was.
But then... three different Max Business School students messaged me with basically the same panic:
"Scott! I finally know what my website should be about, but someone might take my domain name while I'm building it!"
And they were right to worry.
Every day you wait to secure YourName.com, you're rolling the dice that it'll still be available tomorrow.
That's why we set up our web hosting deal at scottmax.com/web-hosting-offer/
Super cheap hosting + you can grab your personal brand domain right now.
Here's your Monday challenge:
Head to our "Set Your Goals For The Week" post
Share your goal: "I will secure my domain and start my website this week"
Actually do it (even if it's just a "Coming Soon" page)
Because nothing's worse than finally being ready to build your website and discovering JohnSmithMarketing.com is now owned by some guy in Nebraska who wants $5,000 for it.

P.S. Yes, I now own 12 variations of scottmax.com. Sometimes 2 AM decisions are actually smart decisions.
