Domain Name for new writing service

I don't think this is as good.

It completely loses the personal touch, the individuality.

When you're selling a service, that matters.

One of the things you're selling is constancy: your ghostwriting clients know that they'll get the same writer every time, and that they have the opportunity to build a relationship with someone who gets to learn about them, their business and their needs. That individuality is worth something.

That retains the individuality and a little bit of "branding factor", and might be perfectly viable, but it still loses some of the personal touch.

I think something like "JohnWilsonWrites.com", or "JohnWilsonWriting.com", is better all round.

At least, it is if your name happens to be John Wilson.

I don't know about other forums, but in this one you can very easily change your username through the help desk, and I think if you want to sell a service to Warriors, that might actually be a good thing to do. I don't suggest it's necessary, but it'll help rather than harm, I think.

I did it, myself. (I used to be just "Alexa S" when I first came here - and I'm not even selling anything here).

If you want to domain name about writing services so keep this word on your domain as well which is very important for your traffic.

Here's one thing you should think about (I didn't). When I started my writing service I used the name "rose's articles." But I now write many things other than articles. I'm especially focusing on ebooks. Now I'm in the midst of working on a name change. So think ahead about where you want your business to go and not just where you're at right now.

From all my research, and from what the truly great gurus will tell you, Branding is the way to go. Therefor something that speaks for you, like your name and or that shows your personality. Something that carries your around the web and builds trust and confidence in your abilities. This allows you to expand your business into other areas with momentum.

Get your personal domain like yourname.com and set that up as your primary domain name and try out some different marketabe domain names as your advertised name that redirect to your primary domain name until you find one that you really like. Once that happens and you decide to marry it, move the site to your new (and proven) domain name and do 301 redirects to transfer any accrued rankings, links and traffic from your starter domain name.

I have had to do this a few times, and while it is a bit more work its gives u a chance to get your service going, keep a personal touch and earn some revenue while you are trying to find a permanent marketable domain name.

Also, I agree with the comment about not using the word ARTICLES as you may end up genersting new revenue through different writing services that overpower your potential from your original game plan.

Just a thought

There's always the theme where you pick a name that doesn't lock you in at all, and brand it for whatever you want like all these (foolish but not in a bad way) Web 2.0 names. We branded Core Zero. It means nothing, really, but people know Core Zero is web and social media design and consulting. Try that angle, too.
