The importance of a blog name

Your domain name is literally the first thing people are going to see. That includes every social media post, every mention, and every time someone visits your website.

 It is right there-in bold, on the top left-hand side corner. Think through it!

Having a catchy blog name is the first step to a successful blogging career. Remember that you are creating a brand here, you are naming your company. 

This is going to be the name of your blog for its hopefully very long lifetime. 

How to Choose a Good Blog Name (And Not Regret It)

Here are some questions you should ask yourself when you are naming your new blog: 

• What is the audience you are trying to target?
• What is your blog going to be about? What is it's niche? 
• Does the blog name read well when it is in the URL format (https://collectingcents.com)
• Is it easy to remember and easy to spell?

You may come up with something innovative and new but make sure it is catchy and relevant as well. You want to be remembered.

Before you decide upon a domain name, you need to have your niche figured out. For example, my domain name collectingcents would make absolutely no sense if I switched from personal finance to talking about food. 

A lot of people decide to name their blog domain using their own name. This can work if your website is a personal blog. It adds credibility and it motivates you to do yourself proud.
