Choosing a topic was really easy task back in time when internet started. But due to high competition, today peoples struggle more to find out an effective topic for their blog. Remember the following points while choosing a topic.

Passion

The first characteristic of the blog is ‘it Update regularly’. To make a successful blog you have to update it regularly.

Brainstorming

Brainstorming is the best way to find out topics in your mind which you know about more or less. Write your goals of the blog on one side of the paper. Goals can be getting famous, having fame, making money, teaching people about software, web design or technology information etc. On the other side write few words or phrases related to those goals you have in mind. Match those goals with the word or phrases you have written on other side. Now keep the first 3 or 5 phrase and word about which you have good knowledge then others. Keep narrowing your word and goals together will give you the topic you can start working on. Try to present your topic in different ways. Of course you also need to be best in your topic knowledge and presentation. If it’s both different and best, then you rocks!

Thinking of making money? – Hold on Tiger!

At the starting stage of choosing topic, you should leave the concept of making money and just focus on making blog successful. If you keep on thinking making money in your mind as a primary goal then you will not see your interest, you will try to find out other peoples interest. And what other people want, you might don’t have knowledge for that. For example, if you are a doctor and find out people are more interested in searching for website designing. You start your own blog with website designing tutorial in it and try to compete the other blog’s of professional web designers. Due to lack of knowledge your content will not match user’s expectation and you will lose them. And also you will lose the users which are looking for your professional knowledge of doctorate i.e. effect of medicines, causes of diseases etc. Discover your interest and find out the audience for that. Simply, if users like your blog then for sure you will make money by posting affiliates links and advertisement. You can go through all of the making money tutorials, concepts and techniques after you have acquired sufficient knowledge of website or blog functionality and maintenance.

Choosing Name Of blog

In SEO world, choosing domain name is the first step toward optimizing your blog for search engine. I don’t say choosing a rite name will make your website 100% successful, but for sure a name which reflects your blog content will help to rank high in search result of search engines like Google, Bing or Yahoo. You can choose effective domain name also with the help of Google keywords. In fact we recommend choosing a name with the help of Google keyword tool. Because if search word with the more searches include in your domain name and content matches to the search word, it will rank high in the page.

Domain name must have the following characteristic for successful website functioning:

Short name
Easy to remember words
Your company or Business name
Always try to get .com at the end or your domain name
Avoid Homophones, Numbers, Similar letters, or misspelled words.
Short and Easy To remember

Try to use Short name for your domain. For example Dell.com, Sony.com or yourcompany.com Short names are easy to remember. More over longer the url of your website, more are the chances to misspelled by the user. Try to use words which are easy to remember. Your Domain name should be very sticky so that people once read it and they should remember and tells other about your website or products.

Your company or Business name

Domain name should be on your company’s name. Like Dell has domain name www.dell.com or Apple Inc. has www.apple.com. When every user searches you on internet they will try to type your company name. If you already have a company running with brand name say ‘XYZ’ you can have that domain like www.xyz.com or can buy it from somebody already using it.

DOT Com Only

Always try to get .com at the end of your domain name. Usually user type .com at the end of domain, and domain with dot com at the end has more reputation then .net, .biz or .tv.

Getting .com at the end of your domain is just a suggestion, if you can’t find out the name you want at .com, try some other popular extensions like .net or .org.

Avoid Homophones, Numbers, Similar letters, or misspelled words

Always try to avoid Homophoes like ‘u for YOU’, ’4 for FOR’ flower and flour etc. Because these letters try make user confuse. Avoid numbers in your domain. Words are easy to remember then numbers. Avoid words which are easy to misspell like long words. Avoid putting similar letters next to each other like m and n, v or w, l or i, j or g etc. When you have chosen your domain try to speak it out loudly. If its sounds easy to speak and remember then, go for it.

www.How-Do-I-Blog.com Why This?

Well I create this domain name because I want to include all the word in my domain i.e. how, do, I, and blog in my domain name. But www.howdoiblog.com was already occupied and that’s why I decide to choose this name. Luckily I got www.how-do-i-blog.com with ‘-‘. But it works for me.

You have to set your priorities with the name choosing steps. Following are the things which affect your SEO Ranking more or less:

Affect: Word in domain name, domain words relation to the content of the blog or website

No-affect: Extensions, Length of the domain.
