I’m changing my domain name for this blog. You can find new posts here: http://www.copywritingdean.com

I decided Stephensblog.com wasn’t the best domain for my business. My name (Stephen) is kind of hard to spell. Many people spell it wrong. And it’s spelled differently than it sounds.

Ideally I’d move to StephenDean.com, but that domain is not available and likely not for sale. Apparently there’s a French artist with the same name as me who got it first. (I have emailed about it, but never got a response.)

So what to do…

CopywritingDean.com makes a lot of sense to me.

* It does have my last name in it “Dean.”
* It contains the keyword I’m targeting most.
* It kind of has a double meaning. Copywriting Dean, or Dean of Copywriting. You know?!
* And it better explains my site.

This site currently gets a lot of search engine traffic, and I don’t want to leave it all behind. So I’m going to keep it up for a while and see what I can do with the traffic.

Hopefully I’ll be able to build up links to http://www.copywritingdean.com quickly. If you already have me in your blogroll, I’d really appreciate it if you changed the URL to copywritingdean.com.

If you don’t have me in your blogroll, I’d really appreciate it if you added me :)

Again, thanks for reading everyone.

I’m 25 and am trying not to “settle down.” Most people I know think the only rational thing to do is get married, buy a house and live there the rest of your life.

These are also the people who told me I’d never find a good job unless I went to college. (And they were right! Thank goodness.)

I certainly don’t see a problem with getting married or buying a house… but buying only one house in one location and staying there forever doesn’t appeal to me. That’s some peoples dream, but not mine.

Right now it’s easy to move a lot, because at 25 I haven’t taken on many responsibilities. In August I’ll be moving for the 4th time in about 2 years.

This makes it difficult to keep a regular mailing address. That’s why I was happy to see James Brausch recommend a solution: http://www.earthclassmail.com

EarthClassMail assigned me a street address in Seattle to use as my mailing address. Now I’m switching all my mail over to this address, and when it arrives, I get an email alerting me.

I click a link and am taken to their website where I see a scanned image of the mail. This way I can see what it is and who it’s from. From there I can ask them to shred it… or open it, scan the contents so I can see it, and then shred it. Or ship it to the address that I’m currently staying at.

That’s fantastic! What a great solution. This is one service I’ll be using for quite some time to further increase my freedom.

That’s brilliant! especially if someone wants to make their business look global (e.g someone based in the UK can also have a US ofice too).

anyone who is following the four-hour workweek will find this invaluable.
