While there are already lots of good advice threads on NPs (such as) I want to emphasize the one most important things I believe many of us overlook at our peril. Always before you acquire a domain name ask yourself both who would want this domain name and how they would benefit from having it.

A value proposition may provide a solution to a client problem or it can help them do something not currently possible. For example a new domain might offer a name that is easier for clients to remember, gives a more positive connotation, or would be useful in a social media marketing campaign. Remember that the value proposition is written from the viewpoint of the potential customer.
