A Pioneer's Guide

A settler is a person who has migrated to a less occupied area and established permanent residence there, often to colonize the area. Settlers are generally people who take up residence on land and cultivate it. The word "settler" is synonymous with terms such as pioneers, colonists, or "colonials".

The reason for emigration of settlers varies, but often includes one or more factors such as: economic or personal financial hardship; social, cultural, ethnic, or religious persecution, or; political oppression and/or policies aimed at encouraging foreign settlement.

From the moment you first consider expanding your business into the bustling and profitable e-marketplace, you become a pioneer. You are migrating to a less occupied area- the Internet, with the intention of establishing a permanent residence- your website; and next you will carefully select the land- your domain name, and diligently work to cultivate it.
