Well the first of many initiatives for the Summer has been launched today!

Own Your Name and put it to good use…

The “Own Your Name” Initiative was developed to get people online using their most defining feature…their names.  Often, people try desperately to come up with creative domain names.  This is great, especially if you hit just the right length, roll off the tongue feel, and overall likeability correctly.  However, using your own name has its place and a very important one at that.

For example, if you are in a large physicians’ group, you may be Southwest Florida Associates.  However, I guarantee that the majority of your patients will remember “your” name over the “groups” every day of the week.  This is why all physicians should own their name, www.johnsmith.com and/or www.johnsmithmd.com.  I prefer the later for professional purposes, and the former for personal musings.  Once you have your domain name, you do not need to put a website or blog up immediately.  You can simply forward it to your existing site.  Now you have secured your name, and nobody else can buy it.

You may be thinking, no big deal.   Well, it can be a much bigger deal than you think.  Anyone can buy any domain name.  They need not do anything with it, and it is considered real property.  However, let’s just say that the latest porn star now shares your name…I think you are getting the idea.

Protecting your name, your identity, and ultimately your brand are your responsibilities and rights!

I have had many people ask me about how I started my LLCs, and what is the easiest and most inexpensive way to do so.  Please know that I am not a lawyer and do not intend for this post to provide legal counsel.

In the past, I have used Legal Zoom for setting up my companies.  Recently, I retained a personal lawyer to set up my last company.  Unfortunately, the cost was four times as much as Legal Zoom, and there were no advantages. 

Furthermore, Legal Zoom provides many perks, like a leather bound binder containing the Articles of Organization, Operating Agreement, and Certificates.  Also, they provided a CD with many useful legal documents for the company.

Legal Zoom services:  Business Formation, Incorporation, LLC, DBA (Doing Business As), Intellectual Property, Trademark, Copyright, Patent, Estate Planning/Wills, Living Will, Living Trust, Power of Attorney, Name Change, Divorce, and Small Claims.

While you may not want to use Legal Zoom for all your legal inquiries, it is worth checking them out if you need straight forward legal services.  You can visit their website by clicking here or on any of the links above.

As always, comments and questions are welcome!

After a short break for the Easter Holiday, we are back to work and in full force.  The month of May will prove to be an exciting month for us with several new initiatives!  So stay tuned!

Now, back to business.  Has anyone tried the new Kindle 2?!  It is a must have!!!  What an amazing innovation!  The Kindle 2 is the latest generation of Amazon’s new wireless reading device.  Weighing in at 10.2 ounces, it is lighter than most paperbacks.  It is also about 1/3 thinner than a typical magazine.  Most importantly it is very easy on the eyes using the latest electronic-ink technology, so it reads just like printed paper with no glare or backlight. 

So what can the new Kindle 2 do?  Well, with 2 G of internal storage, it can store over 1,500 books!  With its 25% longer battery life, the user can read for days without recharging, and when ready to recharge, no problem.  It can charge via an AC adapter or a USB port on a computer. 

The Kindle 2 has 2 G of internal storage, a longer battery life allowing you to read for days, and a 3 G network that can have books, magazines, newspapers, and blogs delivered to you within seconds! No monthly service plans or Wi-fi!

In addition, what a selection!  There are now over 270,000 books and many U.S. and international newspapers, magazines, and blogs that can be downloaded via a 3G wireless network that lets you download books right from your Kindle, anytime, anywhere!  There are no monthly fees, service plans, or hunting for Wi-Fi hotspots!!!  Better yet, the prices are way below shelf price, with a New York bestseller selling for $9.99.

Our Get Online Solutions Blog will be coming to Kindle soon!

Okay, here is the best part!  For all you bloggers out there…not only can you have your favorite blogs delivered to your Kindle, but you can have people subscribe to your blog on Kindle.  All that is required is a simple application process and approval; unfortunately, no advertisements are allowed. 

Let us know what you think!

Kindle 2: Amazon’s New Wireless Reading Device (Latest Generation)

Thank you to all who participated in our National Doctors’ Day initiative to “Get Physicians Online”! It was a success, and we could not have done it without you!

Our selections have been made.  We will be announcing the recipients of the initiative once the physicians have been contacted, and they accept our complimentary website design.

In the interim, we appreciate your patience and are always accepting suggestions for those who might be in need of our services.

Thank you!

Monday, March 30th is National Doctor’s Day; a red carnation is commonly used as the symbolic flower for this day.  The first observance was March 30, 1933 in Winder, Georgia due to the efforts of Eudora Brown Almond, wife of Dr. Charles B. Almond.  The day was set aside to honor physicians.  Greeting cards were sent to physicians and their wives, while flowers were placed on the graves of deceased doctors.

Monday, March 30th is National Doctor’s Day!

A Resolution Commemorating Doctors’ Day was adopted by the United States House of Representatives on March 30, 1958.  Legislation was introduced into the House and Senate in 1990, and on October 30, 1990, President George Bush signed S.J. RES. #366 designating March 30th as “National Doctors’ Day.”

At Get Online Solutions, we would like to say “Thank You!”  to physicians in our great country who serve their communities tirelessly.  In an effort to show our appreciation and advance our initiative to “Get Physicians Online”, we will be giving away 5 free website designs to physicians who currently do not have a website and 5 free website makeovers to physicians who desperately wish to update their outdated websites.

Free website design giveaway to say “Thank You”!

We are asking for your help!!!  Send us your nominations and help show your appreciation as well!  Please contact us, email us at info@getonlinesolutions.com, or leave your comments below.  Please feel free to simply acknowledge a wonderful physician.
