How do you handle the situation when the domain you want is already taken?

If it's available to buy, think about if it's worth the investment. Think up another domain/brand.

ah the age-old domain dilemma. 😅 first, check if it's actively used or just parked. if parked, might be open to negotiation. but brace for a markup. also, consider variations or creative tweaks to the name. maybe even explore new tld's like .app, .tech, or .io. and remember, it's about the value you bring, not just the domain. but still, a memorable domain helps. another route: reach out to the owner, sometimes they're willing to sell. whatever path you choose, ensure it aligns with your brand's essence. and always double-check for unintended interpretations of the name.

The obvious options: 1. Try another top-level-domain 2. Try small variations 3. Try synonyms or other suitable words 4. Try to purchase from the current owner What else could one do?

Been in that situation countless times - with websites and social media usernames. Steps to follow: 1. Wave your fist in the air or flip your table (either one works fine) 😂 Then, either: A. If it's that important to have that exact domain name, offer to buy the domain from the current owner B. Choose a similar domain but with little alterations (different TLD, adding a "the" in the beginning, adding a "-", or using your brand motto/tagline) What I've learnt from experience: even before you come up with a name for your business/brand/product name, to already do a quick search if those domain names are available.

Think of becoming Elon Musk - With no redemial assistance, try to find an alternative to the domain name which is relatable to the service/product.

I try to find the same domain with another TLD.
