Learn from Our Mistakes, News and Information, Starting Your Business
You might be frustrated trying to come up with a clever, unique, keyword rich name for your store or website. Imagine having to decide on a name that 2 people like! We had quite a comical conversation back when we were brainstorming a great name for our moms site, so we thought we’d share it with you. Notice the time stamps of this conversation, we apparently didn’t have much going on this day.
