Finding the right name
for your blog can be challenging. The name of your blog is important
if you want people to remember it for all the right reasons. Many
bloggers choose a blog name that is not memorable or doesn’t fit
the niche of their blog. Take a look at these 4 top tips on choosing
a new name for your blog.
Don't change your blog
name too many times. Some bloggers change the name of their blog on a
monthly basis. Readers get confused when they drop in and constantly
see a different name on your blog banner. Unfortunately, you risk
losing readers by doing this. Maybe your blog niche is taking on a
different direction than what you originally planned. Think long and
hard before deciding on a new name for your blog. The name should be
something you are happy with and can be used for many topics within
your niche.
Check if the domain
name is available when you’ve decided on a blog name. It's
important to use the same domain as your blog name. Fans of your blog
will always remember the name of your blog. They can refer other
people to it. It can be confusing if your blog name is "Gardening
for Newbies" and the domain is completely different. You don't
want to lose your readers to competitors who have a similar blog
name. Make it easy for your readers when they are searching for you
on search engines.
Create an interactive
blog post to receive feedback from your readers if you’re having
trouble deciding on a name. Introduce the names you’re
contemplating and add a poll along with the blog post. Share the
direction your blog is going and why you will be changing the name of
your blog. Having your readers involved can create a positive
networking community for your blog.
Don’t lose any of
your readers or subscribers after you’ve changed the blog name.
Make sure to forward the old domain to the new domain address if
you’re also changing the blog host. For future visitors, make a
blog post or page that directs traffic to the new domain address.
