Note: WordPress have a free plan .com and a self hosted plan .org please I advice go for .org

2. WHAT YOUR BLOG IS ABOUT ?

Choosing what your blog is About is a very important aspect when you think of starting your blog. Because blogging about everything to make money. It will not work and your opportunity of success is better; if you blog on a single "TOPIC".

In respect of trying to blog about everything. You might be a jack of all trade, like trying to start a blog on multiple "topics ".

Blogging everything will not be profitable, because people Like to subscribe to a blog; which is anything on a particular to topic.

For you to grow your blog you will need a "Niche" (Topic), for your blog.

Note: Google which is the biggest search engine prefer a website which is built on a single Topic.

Just like "chiboynini" and topic is "blogging"; and that is how you found chiboynini.

How to Find a Topic For Your Blog?

Here are some ways that can help you to get started:

1. Think of a "topic" that you know better than anyone else. It could be the job you are doing and it could be about anything, at least 6

Example:

Motivation
Technology
Scientific research
Blogging etc.

2. Pick up your pen and paper.

3. Write out the topic's each in a deferent columns.

4. Try to write out all you can write a bout each of the topics without browsing knowledge from anywhere, that is use your of hand.

5. Review each of the topic's and see your passion or blog topic.

I assume that you have selected a topic for your blog; which can make some money for you.

Picking the appropriate topic is the first thing to do before thinking of creating a blog.

3. PICK A BLOG NAME AND A DOMAIN

What is a Domain name?.

A Domain name is the URL of a blog which a visitor will use to open a blog site.

Example: www.golearnt.com

A custom domain name is like www.chiboynini.com; whereby, you will need to pay $12/year.

Rules Which Will Help You To Pick The Best Domain Name For Your Blog:

Your domain name should be easy to pronounce, typed and remember.

Maker sure your domain name, is not confusing to listener's.

I prefer you use ".com" domain name; because it is above everything else.

I will suggest, you choose a plan that will help you to save $12/year on a domain name purchase; like Bluehost platform.

You can use Bluehost.com suggestion features to check if your domain name is available and if it is not available, then you will see Bluehost available domain name's will appear for you to choose from.

Note: you can use your own name as you domain name eg. www.yourname.com; and it will be great for personal portfolio or if you are planning to make yourself a brand.

Nevertheless, I suggest; having a generic name. So, that in the future, I can have people running it, and I can enjoy the benefit of a solo premiership.

My suggestion is to be creative and follow the rule, I shared above.
