So you want to start a blog to document your journey into adulthood and share your experiences with other 20 or 30 somethings, but just can’t think of the ideal name to sum up what you’re all about?
Well, this article was written for you, and hopefully, you’ll be a lot closer to choosing a great name for your blog by the time we’re done. Even if you don’t have a short-list that’s full of awesome names, you should be inspired enough to develop your own naming ideas.
Step 1: What’s So Special?
The first thing you should do is to make a list of words that are related to you and your blog. Be as specific as possible.
Think about what makes you unique, what makes your content different from all the other life stories out there, and why people would want to read your blog. This is the most important part of blog naming, and unfortunately, most people don’t give it the attention it needs. And that is why they have a hard time coming up with a good name.
Spend at least half an hour reflecting on what you’ll blog about, your tone, your direction and most of all, your audience. Write down as many post ideas, keywords, concepts, goals, and anything else you can think of. And keep adding to it whenever a thought comes to mind.
Step 2: Get Ideas & Inspiration
Next, go through the list of blog names, domains and URLs below.
- You will instantly get more ideas on what your blog can be about. Notice how some are quite focused on a particular angle while others are very general.
- You will instantly get ideas on how to create a creative blog name. With a wide selection of naming styles, you’re sure to find some that you really like.
- You will instantly understand how there are a variety of options when it comes to choosing a blog name, a domain name and URL or website address for your blog.
As you browse through the list of existing 20 & 30 somethings blogs, feel free to add enhancements to your initial notes in order to refine them.
