Choose your blog name
After you chose your blog niche and prepared your equipment, it is time to choose your blog name.
Choosing the right name for your blog is one of the most important factors you should consider when you want to build a successful blog especially because your blog name is related to your domain name (Your blog address on the internet)
In this article, we are going to give you 6 important points you need to consider to choose the most appropriate name for your blog.
1. Choose a new name
When we talk about choosing a new name, we mean that you should choose a UNIQUE name to attract people because people usually like to try new things.
So, the first step to choose a good name for your blog is to start looking for a unique name to inspire people and encourage them to know more about your blog.
In this way, you will increase your chances to get more visitors and earn more in the future when those visitors become customers. Also, choosing a unique name will help your blog to rank faster on search engines and people can find it easily.
2. Don’t use hard-to-spell names
Using a unique name doesn’t mean you should choose a hart-to-spell-name because this kind of name will make people hate to spell your blog name as it is difficult to spell. Also, most people who visit your blog will not remember your domain name in the future. As a result, you will lose a percentage of your blog visitors because of a difficult name.
So, your blog name must be unique and easy to spell at the same time. Hence, people will like your blog name because it is new and unique. Also, they will remember it because it is easy to spell.
Another thing you need to consider when you choose your blog name is that your blog name shouldn’t be long. This means it should be short and contains one word or two words (Maximum). And, it should be 15 characters or less.
3. Choose a related name to your blog niche
Imagine that your blog niche is about training dogs and its name is “healthy diet”!!
What is the first idea that people will get when they hear your blog name?
Of course, they will think that your blog is about providing ways to make diets and weight loss. In this way, you will lose a lot of visitors and you will fail because your blog name is not related to your blog niche.
Also, some people will think that you are spam because you try to attract them to your blog in the wrong way.
So, you must choose an appropriate name that can represent your blog name well. Also, make sure that your blog name is comprehensive and demonstrate your blog in the right way.
For example, if you have a blog about football and tennis news, don’t name your blog football news but choose a name that includes tennis and football at the same time.
4. Get your blog domain
The most IMPORTANT point you need to consider when you want to choose your blog name is your blog domain (address on the internet). You should be aware that your blog name and domain should be the same. For example, if your blog name was “iloveyou”, your domain should be (www.iloveyou.com)
So, when people search for (www.iloveyou.com) on google or other search engines, they will find your blog.
Another thing you need to know about domains, every blog, and website on the internet has a different domain.
So, when you want to buy a domain from a web hosting company, you only can buy an available domain name.
There are a lot of Webhosting companies but we recommend you to use Hostwinds to buy your domain because:
- Excellent uptime
- 60-day, money-back guarantee
- 24/7 Customer support: You can ask questions directly to the customer service employees and they are always available to help you.
However, when you buy a domain from a web hosting company, it becomes yours and you can transfer it whenever you want.
Steps to buying a domain for your blog in Hostwinds:
1. Go to Hostwinds hosting page.
2. Choose the BASIC plan.
3. Enter your name, email address, and a password to sign up
4. Enter your information
5. Find an available domain name: Keep trying until you find an available name
6. The other default options are appropriate.
7. Pay and complete your order.
5. Design a logo for your blog
The fifth point you need to consider when you choose your blog name is your blog logo. So, you should make sure that you have the ability to create a good logo for your blog.
For example, if your blog name is “mydog”, your logo must be something related to dogs such as a (bone) because everyone in the world knows that dogs love bones. In this way, you could demonstrate your blog well and attract more dog lovers to your blog.
6. Think about the future
The last thing you need to think about it before choosing your blog name is “the future”. When we talk about the future, we mean the ability to grow. So, you should choose an appropriate blog name that can demonstrate your blog now and in the future at the same time.
For example, if you have a blog about diets and you chose to name it “Healthy diets”, people will not trust you in the future when you start providing different content such as building muscles because they know that your blog is only about diet plans.
As a result, if you plan to expand your blog and publish new topics, you should choose a comprehensive name to demonstrate your blog now and in the future.
