Don’t Get Tricked!
Have you ever gotten a letter in email or snail mail that looks like a legitimate invoice for your domain name? However, you don’t recognize the name of the company who it came from? If not, you probably will eventually get one. They just haven’t got to your 
name yet.
name yet.Who are these companies that do this and what are their motives for doing it?
The Companies
These are companies that have nothing better to do then track domain name expiration dates. Once a domain name is 60 to 90 days out from the renewal date, these companies generate an invoice stating your domain name is about to expire, and that you’d better renew it now, before you lose it!! They will send it to the person who is listed as the Registrant for the domain name. Their objective is for you to just pay the invoice and then they take control of your domain name and transfer it to their registrar company. Is this legal? Well in my opinion, this is definitely working in the gray area. But your naivety or ignorance doesn’t make what they do illegal.
Is Social Media Really Free?
I have heard so many people say, “Social media is free!” It is really?
If you were to compare social media to other marketing tactics, like TV, Radio or Print you might say yea, it’s free, there’s no cash outlay. My question still stands though. Is it really free? Not in my opinion!
I have always been taught that time is money. Your time is worth something. Let’s analyze. If your time is worth something, and it takes time to effectively utilize social media to work for you and your business…then social media marketing is truly not free.
Before you jump in and start using social media to market your business wouldn’t it make sense to learn all you can from a professional in order for you to utilize your time effectively? To make something happen that will benefit your company will take an investment of time.
Social media is only free if you think that your time is worth nothing.
The next time a web or marketing company tells you that getting into the social media is free, think about it. Those companies are thinking about themselves and do not understand your value.
