Blog Name Ideas – 3 Things you Should Consider

If you are looking for blog name ideas, you have decided to start a blog which is amazing. Honestly, launching a blog has changed my life, and it can change yours too.

My life is unrecognisable compared to just a few years ago, and it all started with a decision to start as a blog. I work under 10 hours a week, and I now have a six-figure business.

Now before I get started, I wanted to share that blogging is just one passive income idea; if you are a busy mum, you may want to look at my latest blog on starting a blog to find out the steps you need to take to maximise your income.

Picking your blog name can be incredibly difficult, especially as a beginner, and there are some important things you need to think about before deciding.

I have worked with lots of bloggers, and sometimes they find me a little too late and have made mistakes which we have to spend time correcting, so this blog is to make sure you don’t make the same mistakes launching your blog as them.

Ok, so you have decided to launch a blog which is amazing but think about 5 years from now, or even 10 years from now, what do you want your life to look like? This is really important because if you would like to have maximum time with your family and have a blog that works for you instead of you working for it, you may want to steer clear of choosing your own name.

I chose the blog name MyBump2Baby, and yes, although I was initially the only content creator at My Bump 2 Baby, as we have grown, we now have lots of experts contributing to articles as well as people who work for us.

This means that I can blog as much or as little as I want, which suits me. It also means if we decide to sell the blog, it would be more desirable because someone can easily take it over, whereas if it was /carlalett.com, then it is harder for someone else to take it over and start writing for it.

Not only do you need to think about the above, but you should also think about your circumstances; you may want to create a blog called mummyof1, and then you go on to have more babies, this name will no longer fit with you.

As well as that you also need to think about the direction of your blog in time; you might want to call your blog “toddler days out”, where you take your little one on days out and write a blog about it, but you have to think as sad as it is, your toddler won’t be a toddler forever and will you still want to go round writing blogs about toddler days out when you don’t have a toddler anymore?

Sometimes business owners decide to launch blogs to maximise their income, and it makes sense, but the mistake they make is not combining the two on one website if the content they are going to be creating interests the same audience.

For example, Melissa has a swimming company, she also has two kids, she is fully booked for swimming, and her income has reached a plateau; she wants to increase her income without having to sacrifice her time in the future, so decides to launch a blog, she creates a new website, pays for hosting and creates blogs about days out in her local area.

Now if Melissa put her blog on her swimming website instead, 3 things would happen;

I have spoken to people who have decided on a name, registered Instagram and Facebook, and had logos designed only to realise that the name already has been reserved and they are unable to have the domain (website) for this name as someone else owns it. You can check availability via Bluehost
