hey welcome back to our site build course where we're building a site from scratch on camera to show you exactly how to do it so that you can go from from not even an idea to a fully developed site in no time at all it's very simple to do first video we picked a niche my Niche was home decor I encourage you to pick your own Niche so that you can also have a completed site when this course series is done it will be such an accomplishment if you've never done that before or never made
a really professional looking one so encourage you to pick your own Niche my Niche was home decor last video we did a lot of keyword research we came up with I think about 600 keywords we clustered them grouped them all built out eight different categories I guess nine categories if we're including the hundred and some articles that are going to be product roundups and then we converted those keywords into actual titles to write about this video we need to pick a domain name for our site and then the next couple videos we'll do uh hosting
setting up WordPress and all that good stuff and then finally writing some articles so this video is all about choos using a domain name couple different ways to go about doing this some people like to pick expired domain names some people will pay a lot of money for expired domain names I don't encourage you to do that unless you really know what you're doing but for most people that are watching this series that are just getting started they just want to know how to create a site those will not be very useful to you to
spend a lot of money on a domain name so that brings us to finding a domain name that has expired or that might have a couple backlinks or just choosing a brand new domain name both of them are viable options especially for my particular site where a lot of my traffic is going to be coming from Pinterest so let's queue up the domain name finder inside of Zim writer and then while that's working we'll look for some expired domain names too so I'll click on AI Vault and I'll click on bulk Niche generator now we
use this in the first video to come up with different Niche ideas but this can also be used to come up with some really cool brandable domain names so let's type in our concept home decor ideas let's just duplicate this a bunch of times and we'll say home decor domains I'll go over here and choose I'm going to choose let's choose GPT 40 and we'll tell it to go so while that's generating I'm going to go over here and use Spam Zilla now this is completely optional spam Zilla is a way to find domains that
have been recently deleted and then look at kind of some different factors like the domain rating inside of HRS how many backlinks it has the trust flow all kinds of different metrics and things like this I use this a little bit I don't register enough domains and create enough sites because I'm too busy making Zim writer I don't use this enough to really justify the expense of it but it's 30 bucks a month or something like that something to look into if you are going to spin up five sites a month or 10 sites a
month so I apply a filter in here and you can copy my settings if you want to I just want actually just Doom I want a Spam Zilla score up to 20 when it gets over this the domain's just been polluted I'll explain what that means then I want to look for domain ratings since at a HF of five or above I think that's all I'm really filtering by deselected these things too so that's done let's apply the filter now we don't get a lot in here all right but let me put in put a
decor and start looking so we have a couple ideas my country decor and you can also what's cool is you can filter by keywords so you can say I want something with Decor inside of the keywords and then we'll remove this we have a lot more in here this has been snapped up this has been snapped up let's see trust flow so by that first of all see I don't want some of this stuff like some of the stuff first of all might be somebody's name they might have just accidentally dropped it I'm not going
to register somebody's name because then they could come after me but I don't want to register something that just doesn't make any sense Nats Nazi by Design like that I don't know that just seems kind of lame to me even though the domain rating is kind of high for these let's see here details by chelene just looking here designer Affair that looks interesting that's pretty interesting see what happens when it gets too high when this spam Zill scort gets too high like I can show you if we take this and we put this into the
site Explorer inside of HRS although you can use this in other tools too you can look at the back links to this so we'll look at uh the back links and you'll first of all get an idea for what this site was about because right now Google has said that if you're trying to revive a domain and it's like outside of the field that it pre previously was in you're not going to get any bonus points for that so it looks like tribal jewelry all right painting so tribal art so something to do with Tribal
Design and that's not really about my site although it is in the design niche looks like I would have to revive some stuff so not bad links to be honest but Nazi by Design so then what you can do is you can take the domain and go to archive.org and look at it put it in here and I'm sure there's a bizillion more factors to look at I am not an expert by any means of buying expired domains so drop a comment down below if you think there's some better ways to go about this but
this is what I've done I've had success with registering both with new domains and expired domains at the end of the day after the helpful content update for what I'm doing I don't know if it's a big deal to to find an expired domain but I have the subscription I might as well check so I can't really see what the site looked like before it's not showing me let's open up another one so some kind of Tribal Design thing some good backlinks I bookmarked this to designer Affair it's not like designers having Affairs let's try
this and let's go to HRS real house wbes of New Jersey Dina monzo focuses on event plan interior design I like that so we have a do follow link from a Dr 87 that's pretty cool and it's right to the homepage too so I don't have to like revive a particular page so this is like a nonsense right here so a lot of people will if you look at your backlink profile for your site you'll see crap like this it's not helping you at all best 30 Architects another one ew wow that's no follow though
that's still pretty cool I like this designer Affair I'm probably going to go with this what I would do and now this is not legal advice in the slightest but what I do is I would go to trademark search just go to Google type in trademark search click here and then click trademark search I put the name name of the domain in here not Designer affair.com I would put in designer Affair both words separated by a space see if you get anything and if you don't then I put it in Combined get designer so I
feel pretty good about this that no one's going to come knocking on my door if I were to register this domain obviously not legal advice your mileage will vary all that good stuff but I'm feeling pretty good about this let's see what the AI came up with and again you might not want to get spam Zilla you might not want to buy an expired domain and we can check by the way so all the stuff on spam Zilla these are all available so they should be just 10 bucks a year I can take this go
over here to names so I register all my domains on name name cheep name cheap is just where I register everything so this is available it's 10 10 bucks a year that's great all right but yeah I would register everything at one registry and I like name cheap because they're not like these other providers that are a little bit more questionable um I'm not going to name name which daddies I'm talking about so let's go to our Niche generator Home Decor domains perfect that's what I wanted if you haven't followed along with the previous videos
this tool right here the The Niche Finder inside of Zim writer is a phenomenal phenomenal tool to come up with different ideas for a concept so the concept we put in was home decor ideas and for each concept you put in you'll get five website ideas now we duplicated this concept multiple times so we have even more ideas to work with but you can use this because you could be thinking I have one keyword that I want to go after like my primary keyword but I don't know how to build a site around that this
will give you different ideas help get those juices flowing say you could make something called Timeless Tranquility just discover classic and Serene home decor ideas that stand the test of time and create a peaceful living environment that could be the theme of your site and here are some potential categories we're not doing any of that because we've already found our Niche and we've already built our different keywords that we're going to write about and we have our categories all we want is some website ideas so filter by websites come in here get this list and
I'm going to go over here to back to name chep and open up a new window and I'm going to search using beast mode you'll put all the domains in here we'll hide unavailable and we don't want to see premiums and we'll generate you'll find that a lot of these domains that Zim wrer generated will in fact be available now what would I pick if I wasn't using spam Zilla then I would definitely just pick one of these I pick one that sounded really nice I wouldn't and I wouldn't sweat it I just move on
to the next thing because the goal today is now to be creating a lot of these websites this course that I'm doing right here is not about creating one B one website that you're going to baby that you're going to hold and then Google's going to slap that's not the purpose of this course this purpose of the course is to help you learn how to build a site quickly efficiently from nothing to have a finished site and then move on to the next next one that's what this course is all about so here's a lot
of different ideas that are available modern Nest blog cozy cottage charm that's hey that's pretty cool actually now what I would do is I'd still go back to the trademark search and I'd put in cozy cottage and I'd see so we have cozy cottage collects now there's a lot of not acting as an attorney here all this stuff but you'd have to figure is that too close to some of these that a lot of these are dead and they're no longer in a effect but you'd have to do your own due diligence if you want
to go with something like that where' the list go again there it is vintage Vibes Decor cozy Nook Inspirations that's pretty cool personal Haven home family Nest Decor vintage charm Interiors oh I like that familyfriendly Decor that's pretty neat cozy although it's a little generic so I would you know if you don't have um spam Zilla which you don't need it's completely then I would just pick one um and you don't have another way to come up with a domain idea just go in Zim writer do what I did go to the the niche generator
put in some different ideas you can put in up to 200 of them and for each one you put in you'll get five different website ideas so you could theoretically have what 1,000 domains to or websites to to potentially pick and choose from very easily to come up with ideas quickly but I'm going to go with this domain here this designer Affair let me pause the video we got the domain purchased I am now the proud owner of designer aair fair.com or one at least one year and I'm just in that's another question do you
do it for a year do you do it for 10 years look today you don't know what's going to happen with the domain name just put it on auto renew go for one year doesn't make any sense to bump it up to to 5 years 10 years or something silly like that unless you you have a specific reason for it just put it on a year and and see what happens if this site that we create ends up not doing anything if I was not doing this as a public site if I was doing this
as a private site put it up for a year and register it for a year and then see what happens do you start making some money on it do you earn your return on investment if so renew it for another year if not just let it go no harm no harm in just letting the thing go if you're not getting any traction after a year that's it with the domain exciting we have our domain now we have our keywords we have our Niche everything we need all we need to do now is get our host
and start setting up WordPress and then queue up all of our articles so we still have a lot to do in the videos I hope you're doing this along with me I hope you've now also registered a domain name you've got your Niche you've got your keywords you've clustered them all and now you have a domain name next we'll get our host and then we'll start setting up WordPress this is the really fun part we've done kind of the boring stuff a little bit now we get to the really fun stuff drop a comment down
