You just realized our high have some issues with capitalization. So let's just lower all of these. I'm going to lower this a two.<br>04:43 And we're going to then search in this one.

We're going to do B two, we're going to search for sheet there.<br>04:49 So we don't have to do too much. But let's array formula Master array formulas to streamline your calculations in Google Sheets.

Football sheets. Yeah, there we go. Now we're cooking with gas. Oh, we found a bunch. Fantastic. Let's look at these.<br>05:49 So we took 105 domains and we found the ones that have sheets in them. We don't have as many. Not many as I thought we would get.<br>05:56 I think I did another video like this and I got like 20 or 30 but this should be well enough for a nice video here.<br>06:03 Okay, we got wpspreadsheet.com.

This is a fantastic WP is a fantastic m- set of letters in a domain for WordPress.<br>06:15 Okay, so this would possibly be people who are looking for WordPress-related spreadsheets. You can create WordPress-related spreadsheets if you're doing like, I don't know, WordPress- SEO.<br>06:28 Hey I actually created Shaman which is connected to AI and creates a blog post and then automatically posts that to Ghost.<br>06:38 But you can use the WordPress API and take automatically created AI generated stuff and post directly to WordPress.

And you can probably do that really well with wpspreadsheet.com.<br>06:51 Right? If you're in the business of connecting APIs. So if you want to learn that at BetterSheets, I would recommend two courses.<br>06:58 This is Spreadsheet Learn the essentials of spreadsheets and how to leverage them for your business. Opens in new tab Automation 101. It gets you acquainted in about three to four hours with Apps Script Learn how to automate tasks in Google Sheets using Apps Script. Opens in new tab , just coding in general.<br>07:06 Just three or four hours a nice Sunday afternoon.

And then I would also recommend Supercharge Your Spreadsheets, which on BetterSheets is a course that goes through how to access APIs.<br>07:17 There is also an AI integration course on BetterSheets, and that, those three courses combined in about 10 to 12 hours, you'd know enough to build this kind of spreadsheet Learn the essentials of spreadsheets and how to leverage them for your business. Opens in new tab , which is just basic text, send it to me.<br>07:32 Send it to an AI, open AI, get some text back, and then send it over to WordPress to post automatically.<br>07:39 You can even use the shaman sort Find out how to sort data effectively in Google Sheets for better insights. Opens in new tab of setup that I have, but that goes to Ghost.

That goes from AI to Ghost.<br>07:48 We're watching this on YouTube somewhere. I put all of those courses all together in one called Master Spreadsheet Learn the essentials of spreadsheets and how to leverage them for your business. Opens in new tab Automation that's available on Udemy for like $200 all in one course on BetterSheets.co.<br>08:02 That's three different courses, but I put them all together.

And yeah, I think just a bulk publishing kind of writing, WordPress, and then post directly to WordPress would be great at this www. spreadsheet Learn the essentials of spreadsheets and how to leverage them for your business. Opens in new tab .com.<br>08:17 But there are also some tools you can create that are like calculator or SEO related things that people will do.<br>08:24 They might not want to pay like $100 a month for Ahrefs, but they might want to like load their Google Search Console data Explore data handling techniques in Google Sheets for effective analysis. Opens in new tab .<br>08:33 If they're running a WordPress site, there might be some data Explore data handling techniques in Google Sheets for effective analysis. Opens in new tab they can get specifically from WordPress or about WordPress that you can create a nice little worksheet Understand the structure and functionality of worksheets in Google Sheets. Opens in new tab in a Google Sheet and make that a tool and sell that to WordPress related sites.<br>08:48 It also doesn't necessarily have to be always WordPress like a hundred percent.

WordPress related, it could be that these are spreadsheets that are for people who use WordPress, meaning they are geared towards online businesses, online writers, bloggers, that kind of stuff.<br>09:10 The next one is Mathland worksheets Explore the differences between worksheets and spreadsheets in Google Sheets. Opens in new tab . So worksheets Explore the differences between worksheets and spreadsheets in Google Sheets. Opens in new tab is pretty general, but spreadsheets and worksheets Explore the differences between worksheets and spreadsheets in Google Sheets. Opens in new tab are very similar and you can probably create some really cool math puzzles, math games, you can create some math workbooks.<br>09:25 And make them in the spreadsheets, sell them as downloadable digital products and mathlandworksheets.com. It's pretty cool.

Let's see if that is a thing.<br>09:33 Mathland. Let's see if mathland is a thing. I always like to check if it's like a brand name. Yeah, it's a video game.<br>09:40 Mathland game. So maybe avoid this or make it related to this game in some way. If this is the highest intent that people are searching Mathland for because it's a well-known game.<br>09:51 So it seems like it's on Nintendo Switch Learn how to use the switch function in Google Sheets for conditional logic. Opens in new tab . And it doesn't seem that big because it's only a hundred and- 50.<br>09:58 At least Ahref says it's 150 volume. Yeah. I would not touch this.

Probably stay away because it's a branded name.<br>10:10 Ca- cah-hays? What's ca- cahays? Okay, so what is ca-hays football? See if that's a thing. Is it? It's not a thing.<br>10:24 So if you want to name your thing ca-hays football maybe that's a thing if you know it, it looks like Okahiro's NFL sheets.<br>10:33 So apparently this might have been someone's name. I'd say away from this too. Not that great. Balance cheat sheet.

This would be a great worksheet Understand the structure and functionality of worksheets in Google Sheets. Opens in new tab .<br>10:40 If you're already like a CFO, CPA accountant and you're working with spreadsheets all the time and you created an interesting balance kind of thing.<br>10:49 Double entry bookkeeping. I would say take this web, take this URL and run with it. Create some balance sheets, create some freebies that are easily downloadable and you could probably be ranking for balance.<br>11:02 Spreadsheet Learn the essentials of spreadsheets and how to leverage them for your business. Opens in new tab really easily with a balanced cheat sheet on the dot com. I think that'd be really fun.

Bamboo sheets expressed definitely for not spreadsheets but bedsheets so I would say away from this.<br>11:12 This one, it's she eats, she eats. Itals, kitchen, probably someone's kitchen. Stay away from this. Happiness spreadsheet Learn the essentials of spreadsheets and how to leverage them for your business. Opens in new tab dot com. This sounds wonderful.<br>11:25 This would be a great little happiness. Let's see if this is an actual name, a brand name, happiness spreadsheet Learn the essentials of spreadsheets and how to leverage them for your business. Opens in new tab . Accidentally retired.<br>11:36 Gets a tiny bit of volume for happiness sheet. Let's see if happiness sheet. Or happy sheet, happy spreadsheet Learn the essentials of spreadsheets and how to leverage them for your business. Opens in new tab .

These are probably all key words that happiness.<br>11:51 This might be fun if you create a kind of what is it called when you're tracking nps? MPS score. So if you create an MPS score sheet, which I actually have a sheet that I sort Find out how to sort data effectively in Google Sheets for better insights. Opens in new tab of showed in a tutorial, how to create an embedded URLs that directly go to a Google form Discover how to integrate Google Forms with Sheets for data collection.

You're like, Oh, I make, I make sheet music and spreadsheets.<br>12:34 This might be a wonderful URL for you. Sheets. I don't think that's anything to do with spreadsheets. A sure sheets Azure is probably, yeah.<br>12:48 Cloud services on Amazon. Sorry. Microsoft Azure is cloud services like AWS. There is like, oh, I think this is probably the color Azure might be might be fun.<br>13:04 Just take this as a brand name.

If you're into, if you're starting to sell spreadsheets yourself might be a fun little.<br>13:11 Brand name. If you are related to cloud computing, this might be that weird Venn diagram where Master the use of query and where clauses in Google Sheets for data filtering. Opens in new tab you combine Learn how to merge cells in Google Sheets for a cleaner layout. Opens in new tab spreadsheets and web cloud computing.<br>13:21 This bedsheetamazing.com.

This is fantastic if you're creating templates, if you're looking for a new brand name for your Etsy store.<br>13:34 If you're like, hey, I have a few templates.

I don't want to do it under my name because maybe I have another job and I want to just make this as like passive income on the side.<br>13:42 I know I just want to see. What selling spreadsheets is like? What is it? What is it like selling spreadsheets?<br>13:47 Who sells spreadsheets? Right? Oh, there's a few hundred people in Etsy selling them. And again, there's a course coming up from better sheets called selling spreadsheets.<br>13:55 So figure out how to sell spreadsheets here. But sheets crafters. We'll be right back.

It'd be awesome if you are designing new spreadsheets.<br>14:04 I would definitely recommend it. Let's see sheets crafters. If somebody took that already, it'd be a shame. Oh, sheetscrafter.com. Okay, there is one.<br>14:14 Cra- sheetscrafters. Crafters.com and this is sheet- sheetscrafter.

Okay, so maybe I would stay away from this because it's already a domain and sheetscrafter.<br>14:31 After, let's see if they'll probably show up and if their domain also shows up for crafters, the whole word sheetcrafters, yeah, it's sheetcrafter.com.<br>14:43 So yeah, you probably can avoid this, but there might be something like, let's, okay. At name.com and see if there's like sheetcrafting.<br>14:50 If you're in the, like the whole craft world and you love the name craft, craft sheets might be a good one, craft sheets.com, easy.<br>15:10 Oh, it's a thousand bucks.

Maybe we want to avoid that.
