Welcome to Day 2 of How to Start a blog to grow a MLM business 5 Day Course.

Day 2- Creating a name for your blog and setting up your web hosting

Yesterday we walked thru the process of why you should blog, what you should blog about, selecting the MLM business and making sure your blog focus and your MLM business work well together.

Today we are going to brainstorm on a URL for your blog and then the fun begins. I'm so excited to show you step by step just how easy it is to create a blog on your own with me as your guide.

YOUR BLOG URL

Creating a blog name and URL is where some people tend to worry and stress way too much about. Don’t let this be a stumbling block. My suggestion is to not get too fancy or trendy. I personally made a list of about 20 – 30 different essential oil blog names and surfed the web and social media to see what was taken and what was available.

Another key to selecting a blog name is setting a timeframe to get this part completed. That way you avoid not making a decision and never getting your amazing future blog started.

A few tips on picking a blog name-

1) Just remember your blog name is more important to you than it is with your readers. In other words, they really don't care what it's call as long as it's not a huge turn off to your target market.

2) It's okay to use your personal name as your blog.

3) Ask yourself, does it make YOU feel good? If it does it's a keeper.

4) Is the domain name available? If not back to the drawing board.

5) Is it easy to say, easy to read and is it short and sweet? Long names can be a pain to type out especially on a phone.

6) Is it memorable? If it's something that can be confused easily you need to change directions.

7) Imagine yourself at a huge conference with all your peers. Will you be proud to say your blog name out loud?

8) Does it fit your long-term plans and vision? Can you see your business growing and expanding with the same name?

9) Don't incorporate the MLM company name into your blog. Most MLM companies will not allow this due to trademark and copyright. Plus like we spoke of yesterday, if you ever leave your MLM company and you want your blog to continue to thrive your sort of in trouble if your name is linked to the company.
