What will make YOU stand out? How will people identify you? The skincare diva? The money making master? Do you have a specific color you wear when you network? Do you have a professional head shot of you? Do you know what colors look best on you and for what occasions? Step 8: Register a Domain Name!

Please try to reserve a .com It is the most popular and most searched by the search engines. Take your time and play around with this. Step 9: Get a hosting company. I like Hostgator.
