Having a good domain name will help you build credibility with your readers. They will trust you as a business person. This will help your reputation in the future which will lead to more sales. People will be comfortable doing business with you.

When you choose a domain name, make sure you use a .com domain name. These types of domains prove to be more popular with website visitors. You should make your domain name short and simple. Don’t make it too long because people will not be able to remember it. You can even register more than one domain name. Having more than one domain name can double your chances of making sure that the major search engines will index your site. This will lead to more traffic for your site which is always a good thing.

Finally, before you make your final decision on your domain name, you should ask people what they think of your domain name. A good place to start for registering your domain name is Godaddy.com. They are the leading register of domain names. They are cheap and easy to create. Godaddy also has very good web hosting for your site. I would recommend that you sign up with Godaddy because they have excellent customer support and their prices are very reasonable. If you do not want to use Godaddy, then make sure you take some time to shop around for the best available deal for your domain name.

What are your goals?
What do you want to accomplish with your blog? Do you want to make money with your blog or do you want a blog where you can express your thoughts and opinions. This question is the basis for creating your blog. Once you have this, the rest is pretty simple.

What is your budget ?
How much money do you want to spend on your blog? Remember, if you choose to spend money on your blog, there are two things you will need right off the bat. You will need a domain name and web hosting. I currently use GoDaddy. Their products are very reasonably priced and their customer support is the best in my opinion. Again, you could always pick blogger.com or wordpress.com for free!!

Which blogging platform has better design options?

If you want to customize your blog just the way you like it, you should use wordpress.org because this platform has a lot of different options for you to use to design your blog. Blogger.com and wordpress.com have limited design options. Remember, wordpress.org is a paid blogging platform so you will need to spend some money if you choose this platform. WordPress.org has so many blog tools and plugins you can use for your blog to make it look the way you want.

There are two types of blogging platforms you can choose from. There are free and paid blogging platforms. Next, you will read some pros and cons of each type of blogging platform.

Pros and cons of Free Blog Platforms:
Pros:
It is free and cheap to use.
The free platforms are easy to understand.
No need to upgrade the software.
These types of blogs will get indexed quickly by search engines.

Cons:
The money making streams for free blog are very less. Some of the sponsorships and affiliate networks don’t accept free blogs.
You don’t have full control over your blog.
You don’t have a unique url for your blog

Pros And Cons of Paid (Self-Hosted) Blog Platforms:
Pros:
The income streams for self hosted blog platforms are vast. You have plenty of ways to make money with your blog.
You have full control over the design of your blog.
Self hosted blogs have many applications like plugins so you can make your blog look just the way you want it.
You will have your own unique domain name which shows professionalism and it can be remembered easily by your visitors.
Cons:
It is complicated and not easy to understand. Some of the applications are too complicated to install yourself.
You may have to spend extra money to get help with your blog customization.

In conclusion, if you are serious about blogging and want to blog for a certain period of time then I suggest you go to with the paid or self hosted blogging platform such as wordpress.org because of the advantages it has over the free blogging platforms. This decision can be difficult but in my opinion, you will not regret it in the long run. Especially when you start making money with your blog and getting tons of traffic from people interested in the same things as you are!!

Disclosure: I am recommending Godaddy because I am affiliated with them and i do earn a commission for every person who makes a purchase from Godaddy.
