When I was first starting out as a professional photographer in 1972, I hustled for every job, every client, every scrap of attention. I didn’t have much—just a camera, a little Volkswagen, and a dream.
Years later, when I moved to The Bahamas, it was like starting over. I remember one day pulling over on West Bay Street, staring out at Saunders Beach and thinking, If only I owned a little piece of that…
These days, everyone knows beachfront property is gold. It’s the first to rise in value, the first to sell, and the hardest to get your hands on once it’s gone. Well, let me tell you something—not just as a photographer, but as a business owner and creative in The Bahamas:
A great domain name is the new beachfront property.
I’m talking about premium domain names. Short. Clear. Memorable. Names that match what you do, or better yet—what your customers are already Googling.
You might be thinking: But I already have a Facebook page. That’s like saying you’ve set up a table on someone else’s land. Social media platforms constantly change, algorithms bury your posts, and even minor infractions can get your account suspended. Owning your own domain is like holding the deed to your own slice of digital real estate.
It’s yours.
And just like prime land in the Family Islands, good domains are getting snapped up fast. Every day, new businesses launch around the world—some with big budgets—and they’ll pay top dollar for the right name.
Meanwhile, I’m seeing Bahamian entrepreneurs letting valuable names slip away because they don’t realize what they’re worth.
Let me give it to you straight: if you’re serious about your brand, your business, or even your side hustle—lock in your domain name now.
Whether it’s TalkBahamas.com, FoodBahamas.com, IslandHomesBahamas.com, or something wildly creative that speaks to who you are, your domain is the front door to your business.
These days, we’re not just fighting for space on a crowded beach—we’re fighting for visibility on a global stage. A great domain gets you found. It gets you trusted.
And just like a good photo, it leaves a lasting impression.
Don’t wait until someone else builds their mansion on your name.
Stake your claim.
Buy your domain.
Own your future.
