Darren asks, What’s in A Blog Name?. He’s right, a name is a very important piece of becoming a successful blog. Think brandingit’s all about branding. Certain names and words flow off the tounge and are more memorable than others.
I’ve been reading Darren’s blog before it was ProBlogger.net. What was it? Um, something like blog.livingroom.com.au, I think. Get the point? That name sucked. Sorry Darren, I think you knew that. That’s no way to build a brand name. I think Darren can prove that his traffic and general reputation grew by leaps and bounds when he moved to ProBlogger.net. The design helped too 🙂 Of course, it can be done, but it’s much harder.
So as a serious bloggerif you want to be serious, and taken seriously, you have to stop using those unbrandable blog domains like supercooldude.blogspot.com. The time has come to drop $8.95 at GoDaddy and get your own domain name. Or, for the sake of this shameless promotional entry, you could use one of mine below.
I’m currently looking to either sell or develop the following domain names. If you are interested in either offer, please email me at info@blogkits.com.
www.hotelblog.com
I’m looking for a writer who wants to take it and make it into a network blog about hotels. I’m willing to pay up to 75% of all revenue it generates to the right person who can make it a success. I’d host it, and provide the MT blog software and setup. I’d also do the design and any tech stuff. All this person would have to do is write, well and often.
I also have these domains I’d like to do something with. Either sell them or develop them. Have an idea? Make an offer? Let me know.
