Hi,
I've been a VA for over 2.5 years but never had a website or used my name that I had to select when I applied for an EIN number.

I chose 'The Virtual Wizard' never thinking I'd need to use it.

Now I am getting ready to go BIG, so I need to solidify the name.

When I went to Go Daddy to buy the domain, it was taken. YourVirtualWizard.com is not taken so I was thinking I might buy it.

I chose this name hapazardly...my cat is named Wizard and I have been called a Wizard when I have completed work for clients. I chose Virtual to narrow down the type of work I do. I also think I can create a wizard logo in photoshop that I can begin to brand myself.

What do you think of Your Virtual Wizard as the business name?

Is it too corny? I didn't want to use my own name because that said little about what I do.

One more question...should I buy my name.com ? Go Daddy offers that option and no one has my name or is it too soon to make that decision?

Thanks.

Jan

Jan,
I like that name and like the idea of a wizard for your logo. I actually like your virtual wizard the best. If you are sure you want to use this as your name I would obtain the URL for your web site.

Thank you Lily and LoriLee...

One more question...should I buy my 'own name.com' ? Go Daddy offers that option. Is that important to buy?

Jan

Hi Jan,
I would say absolutely have your own domain name. This will benefit you and your business by having a web site and in branding your name to potential clients.
