I&#8217;m talking about internet domain names. I registered JosephREllis.com in 2013. I wasn&#8217;t really sure what I wanted to do with it, at first. So I just forwarded it to my LinkedIn profile for awhile. After I signed up for ReverbNation, I decided to forward the domain there. Pretty soon, my profile there seemed to stagnate and almost nobody was listening to my tracks. So, I forwarded my domain to my SoundCloud profile. Now, I know the value of a domain name. I&#8217;m in the domain sales and web hosting business, after all. I kept thinking that I should host that domain on my web hosting company&#8217;s server and create a site for my music. Yesterday, I finally did it. Using the WordPress blogging platform, I whipped up this&nbsp;site that now gives me a place to consolidate all of my audio tracks, videos and social media links. Plus, it finally gives me a place to use some of the ReverbNation widgets! &nbsp;This may actually breathe new life into my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reverbnation.com\/josephrellis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ReverbNation profile<\/a>! &nbsp;What do you think? How important is it for musicians to have their own website?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No, this post has nothing to do with old Seinfeld episodes.
