The Who’s Who of Internet Marketing

Posted by peter on May 31, 2009 | No Comments

For years now, I’ve wanted to start my own directory / database of Internet Marketers. The problem was, I was never able to find a suitable domain, things like IMwhois or IMrolodex, the sticking point, I found, was that the phrase “Internet Marketing” is just too damn long to make a good domain name!

With the introduction of so many new TLD’s (that’s Top Level Domains), finding the right keyword rich domain has gotten much easier - as long as you don’t absolutely require a .com.

So as I was searching (I like to use name.com to search for loads of different domain extensions) I had a moment of inspiration and entered: InternetMarketers to see what would come up.

I checked, and double checked, yes, internetmarketers.eu was sitting there and waiting to be registered! Awesomeness!

So I now have the (nearly) perfect domain to start building my database of internet marketers. To start off with, I plan on simply listing all the big names like Armand Morin, John Reese, Brad Callen to name but a few. Then I will expand it to list some vital stats about them, before moving on to list all their products.

Something I have learned about developing websites (and I have been doing it for over 10 years now) is that it’s useless to try and do everything at once. You should allow the website to grow and evolve over time - seriously, it’s the only way. If you do any development work, it should last less than 1 month - just trust me on this, I work for a web development company. Once that one month is up, launch the site, promote it, get people, get traffic, make money. Then, after a few weeks, start the next cycle - no more than 1 month. And continue like this.

I have a road map for Internet Marketers, with the profiles, products, reviews etc, but down the line, I also plan to turn it in to a social network - I think the ones so far aimed at internet marketers have missed the mark entirely. But, I will only develop it if I see any income or huge potential.
