Please give me your opinion on this domain
Hello all,
First off, I would like to preface this by saying that parts of this may sound self promotional but it really isn't - my site isn't even up yet! I want your opinion on the domain name vs what this site will focus on. I feel that in order to give me your best opinion you will need a basic understanding of who I am and what this site will be, so I apologize in advance for the huge post.
Me: I have been affiliate marketing for about 5 years and I have had (what I consider to be) good success. When I concentrate on it, I make around 5k a month - which I realize is just a drop in the bucket to some but its success to me! Doesn't mean I plan to stop here though, or give up, I believe learning never stops! Since I have been concentrating on developing content for my site instead of my marketing - I am not making that much at this current time, however.
Site: I get a lot of friends and family asking for my advice and then their friends and so forth which has developed into a small coaching business on the side. I decided to make a (free) blog of advice on what I have done to succeed (and fail). My aim is to help others succeed so we can all assist in one anothers growth. I will release paid products on occasion (so I guess it isn't entirely altruistic!) but the main point is a blog with free advice and tutorials.
So, I have been brainstorming domains and I decided instead of going for the whole keyword rich SEO optimized domain, I want something more unique, catchy and memorable. The problem with this, is I am afraid the title may create confusion since the address doesn't automatically state what the site offers, like so many sites do.
I bought this domain name on a whim because I thought it was catchy - but I have doubts about it. It is TheAdchemist.com - I was thinking a nice caption would be "The ingredients you need for a successful advertising and marketing formula" One of the reasons I have doubts is because while the site touches "advertising" via information on Adwords, writing ads, etc. It also deals heavily with marketing...so the name may be confusing :/
So after my long explanation would you please tell me what you think? Should I go back to the domain name drawing board - or go with this?

So, you want to sell me another way to easily make "X" dollars in "X" days? ROFL too funny! IM success requires hard work and lots of time. Most newbies do not survive the steep learning curve. Anyone who says otherwise is probably selling you a fantasy.
