Usually you will first want to get an idea of what type of site you want to make and then buy the domain.

Many people have "brandable" domains you can buy. I have quite a few myself. Just make sure you know your budget and what you are looking for. Then, go to the "domain wanted" area of the forum and post. You will receive private messages from people soliciting domains to you.

well first off i was going to use it for private use. maybe a blog but after reading alot of the forum here before signing up, ive seen alot of people are making money from ads and parking your site and such. i'm not looking to make thousands of dollars but it would be nice to make afew $$ every now and then.
i really need a idea before i do anything yes?

Always have a gameplan before you go into battle. If you want to use the domain for a blog, then get a domain that you suit your needs. Come up with a catchy name and see if it hasn't been registered yet. Otherwise, people like me will be happy to offer you catchy, brandable domain names like Hylid.com, etc.

thats why i've come here, i need to learn before i go onto the battlefield. i was thinking of afew catchy names but havn't really got any yet.

1) Choose a topic/tech
2) Register a domain related to that topic
3) Host with blog tools (Wordpress would help)
4) Register for Google adsense
5) Insert the code in your site
6) Start writing articles and publish it on your site
7) Do marketing

If your going to blog, figure out what your into and why someone would want to read your blog? When you get traffic, you can then sell advertising to relavent companies or sites. Blogs are relatively easy, Wordpress is a great platform that looks good and is easy to manage. first figure out what you want to say, then work on getting yourself a domain name that fits that category.

My recommendation is to keep reading and asking question shere on this forum. Very helpful!

other than a blog- what is it you wanted to do that was of interest to you? should be something you love- so many epople do a site, and get bored or leave it after a bit because they were never in love with the concept to begin with

 

[James]

i don't really have any interests except computer. i'm thinking about a blog, i know i like reading about peoples lifes and such. im not sure if other will want to read about mine tho and upcoming things.

 

[smashfactory]

weel, unless your life is very very very interesting chaces are it may not hold an audience- if you want a site just to have a place to call yours, then you do not worry about everyone else but, if you are looking to make revenue, well then ya need a hook

 

[James]

well. i used to love reading just about peoples lives, boring or not, i still do, like i youtube about peoples lives.
anyway. im thinking i could make a blog or something with a catchy name.
i was going to use ultimatebj.net.
i think most of you know what bj means. i don't want to seem like a perve. i'm not in this to make a living, just a small profit, even if it takes ages to get it. i'm really not sure,
anyhelp is appreciated.
if anybody could help me on msn or aim. message me for my details.
thank you.
