Yet while I really like the movie and would like to make the application to my
domain online, it just doesn't fit. It would be nice if it did, but it doesn't.
Many of us are carrying through with our dreams by putting up websites and
domains on the Internet. The Internet may be the "Cyberspace Field of Dreams"
for some.
But the famous saying of the movie just doesn't cut it online.
Think about it for a second. The guy in the movie was building something totally
unique to its surroundings. It created attention all by itself. But what we're
building on the Internet is about as unique as all the cornstalks in Iowa. We
can't just "build it and they will come."
We can learn from the movie
"Field of Dreams" however.
Here are a few things to consider:
1)
It's okay to follow your dreams. The Internet has opened up the possibilities
for many people to follow their dreams. We can build something that's worldwide,
something we couldn't have done just a few years ago.
2) Hard work
pays off. Our movie star worked hard to build his ballfield, and we need to
work hard too to build our "Field of Dreams" online. Our hard work doesn't stop
when our "field" is built. Instead, another phase of it starts as we work to let
people know about our "field" and why they should visit, participate and buy.
3) It pays to do it right. Don't go halfway in following your
dreams. Do it right. It may take longer, but it will be more fulfilling in the
end. In the movie, the guy built the whole field, not just the infield. If your
dream is your own domain, build the whole thing, not just the infield. So, go,
create your "field of dreams" online, but know that when it's built, your work
has just begun.
And since this article is about a baseball movie, here's
the pitch….. The system I recommend for building your "Field of Dreams" online
is the Cyber Estate domain hosting package.
I highly recommend it and
I use it! It has the space for your entire "field," plus room for expansion. It
also has the tools to help you after you build it to bring people to your "field."
