Let’s dive in,
Choose a Niche for Your Blog(Riches lives in Niches)
This is the most important part, and many new bloggers are stuck at this point.
The right niche depends on:
- Knowledge
- Interest
- Profitable
Let me clear you that niche is like category.
For instance, you choose health as your niche. So if you don’t have knowledge about the niche and you have interest on that niche.
In the end, the health is not the right niche for your blog.
Also keep in mind that 80% of bloggers quit blogging in starting six months because they choose the niche which they don’t passionate about.
So, How you can find the perfect niche that you won’t regret later
Currently, there are many profitable niches in which you can start your blog but don’t go for it.
if you can’t figure out, then you can do this to find an ideal niche.
- Take Pen and Paper
- Write down your interest (Add Four or more) on the list
- Find the niche which you liked the most from the list
- Also, find an affiliate of that niche
- You are good to go
These are some steps to find a profitable niche for your new blog.
Choose a Domain for Your New Blog
A domain is the name of your blog from which others come to your blog.
A good domain is very important for a blog. If you have a good domain then you can get many benefits.
When I started blogging, I have wasted many domains. The only reason was I don’t know how to choose a brandable domain.
Here are some tips which help you to find your brandable domain –
- Keep it short(For eg : Problogger.com, ShoutMeLoud.com, DigitalDeepak.com)
- Keep it unique(For eg: if you want to start a blog on Trimmer then domain can be Trimmersformen.com)
- Use Keywords(It will help you in SEO)
- Don’t use a person name
- Always Use .COM Extension
- Don’t use numbers
Many blogger have become successful by changing their domain name. For eg:- Jon Morrow
If you are still not able to figure out the domain for your blog, then you can find domain using one tool: LeanDomainSearch. This tool will help to choose a perfect .com domain.
Note: For buying a domain, you can go to WebSpaceKit
Choosing a domain is not enough you also have to choose a hosting.
lets go into it and see what hosting can do for your new blog.
Choose a hosting for your blog
A hosting is the storage of your blog. All blog data saved in the hosting. Hosting is important for a blog. There are many free hosting available but you don’t have control on it. So buying a hosting is very important and the main thing is that you have control on it. Many bloggers have lost a lot of money because of bad hosting.
When I started blogging, I was always looking for cheap hosting. This is the mistake that every new blogger makes.
I recommend you not to buy cheap hosting. Because it can make your blog slow.
If a blog speed is slow then visitors will stay on that blog less. As amazon also said that when their website becomes fast by milli second then they are getting more sales.
There are many users using WordPress Hosting. As WordPress hosting has many features. You can easily customize your blog with WordPress.
Note: For a good hosting, I will recommend you to buy hosting from WebSpaceKit
WebSpacekit is best for WordPress Hosting. It is an Indian web hosting company. So if you live in India then the hosting can provide more speed to your blog.
In every plan, you can get a free domain. And WebSpaceKit provides the fastest WordPress hosting as compared to Bluehost, GoDaddy etc.
Follow these steps to purchase hosting for your blog:
