subject: Freelancing Work Is Easier With Your Own Domain [print this page] The increasingly easy access to high speed internet connections across the US and throughout most of the world is making it more practical than ever for people to consider freelancing work as a serious opportunity. Though people of all ages engage in freelance opportunities, it would seem that more and more young peoplewho tend to have a better grasp of modern technologies in the first place, and minds that are more open to career paths that break the regular 9-5 moldare turning to freelancing as a source of income, whether one of many or the only one, and whether temporarily or indefinitely. What these people need to understand, no matter their age and no matter what kinds of freelancing opportunities they pursue, is that they will have a greater chance at success with their own domain name.
What many freelancers need is recognition, and the internet is a perfect venue for doing precisely that. Freelancers that are just beginning down the road of professional independence can turn their domains into spaces to show off their talents and detail what experience they may have up to the present: many people actually load copies of their resumes, clips of writing or other work they may have produced (video, audio, graphics, etc.), and whatever will help convince potential customers of their value. Long-time freelancers can do much the same thing, and show off what their accomplishments have been, refine their image, and pry their way deeper and deeper into the niche market of their choosing.
What many freelancers need is a professional image as opposed to an individual namea company identity to replace their own for work purposesand they can achieve this to a great extent through registering a domain. A freelancer in the video production line of work may come up with a company name such as "Astro Video Production", and for them it would be absolutely paramount to go ahead and buy "AstroVideoProduction" as a domain name with a .com, .biz, or other extension. Doing this will give credibility to the business identity that they are trying to launch, and it will allow them to become known not just as an individual but rather as something larger (and more professional).
The freelancer lifestyle, though a risky bet that many people find too intimidating, is increasingly something that can be pulled offand in grandiose style in many cases! Knowing how to create an online presence through purchasing a domain name, and furthermore knowing how to build and refine that presence, is what truly intrepid and ingenious freelancers need to start paying attention to. By the looks of it they are doing just that as these days you can find thousands and thousands of sites created by freelancers at all stages of their careers, all of whom are focusing on one thing and one thing only: making the entire freelance lifestyle that much more manageable.
