Naming Your Blog – Blogging For Beginners
You want to start your own wordpress blog but what do you name you blog?
This is a good question and an important question everyone starting out needs to be asking themselves. You don’t want any ole name for your blog.
It is vital that you name your blog on what you are going to be promoting or writing about.
So it is important that you do your research on just what people are looking for when they do a search on their favorite search engine. This is called keyword research and you have to drill it down as far as you can.
So for example, if you are going into the bearded dragon niche, you do not want to name your blog bearded dragon, it is much to broad. Let’s narrow this down to specific niche.
After doing some keyword research, I find that terms like bearded dragon care, bearded dragon food, bearded dragon habitat are very popular and searched for a lot.
This is much better than just naming it bearded dragon, by naming a blog like bearded dragon habitat, I can now talk about the proper set up, heating and lighting and even have affiliate products link to this blog to make some money.
Keep in mind these key aspects when you are naming your blog. Keep it simple and to the point. Make sure that what you name your blog is what your blog is talking about.
So you wouldn’t name a blog bearded dragon habitat and then talk about lizards in general or leopard geckos, you want to talk about and show products for bearded dragons specifically.
Believe me I have seen a lot of people do this, they set up a blog on one niche yet insist to write about something that is not related at all. This not only hurts your search engine rankings but people won’t be interested in your blog.

Blogging For Beginners – Free vs. Paid Blog Hosting
There are a lot of different ways to set your wordpress blog, from free hosting to paid hosting. So just what are the differences and which one should you go with? Let’s take a look at both -
If you are considering setting your blog on free hosting there are some key points you will need to be aware of. One important key point is that you are NOT in control of your blog and the content on it. You are very limited to what you can do with your blog and what you can promote.
The free hosting provider can put ads of their choice on your blog. At anytime the free hosting provider, at their descretion decide that your blog does not meet their terms of service and can delete/remove all your content.
Using a free hosting provider does have its’ benefits due to it being free to you to use. This is a great place to start blogging if you are a beginner. Get the feel of how it works and what you can do with a blog. But do remember it is free, and you get what you pay for 
Now if you are really serious about blogging, then it is highly recommended you get your own domain name and hosting. This is not expensive to do and is well worth it. You can get a domain name for as little as $12.00 a year or less, and you can get good top quality hosting for just $5.o0 to $20.00 a month. If you pay less than $5.00 a month for hosting, you might not be getting all the benefits for your blog.
Having your own paid hosting puts you in control of your blog, your content, and what you can do with it. There are no limits.
Take the time to investigate all your options and choose which fits you best.
If you insist on having free hosting I highly recommend Blogger.com they are easy for the beginner and you have lots of features some of the the other free hosting platforms do not offer.
If you are ready to get started with your paid hosting then I would highly recommend Host Like The Pros, with them you get everything you need to get started blogging, even step by step training!

Blogging For Beginners – What is Blogging?
So you want to learn more about blogging and what it is all about. You’ve come to the right place, what you are about to read will probably be the best information you can find today on blogging for beginners.
This entire blog is put together for you, the beginner blogger. We will discuss things as free blogs vs. paid blogs, the best platforms to use, installing your blog, monetizing your blog, and optimizing your blog.
Just what is blogging and why you might want to do it.
Blogging put simply is somewhere you can express your thoughts, feelings and more. You can even earn a little extra cash for that college tuition, a new care, and other little things.
Now owning your own blog doesn’t mean that you are going to be tied to it as some will make you think. You can write on your blog once a day, once a week, or even once a month, the choice is yours.
The way to get your blog noticed isn’t so much by what you write about as it is how you come across to others. It is important to pick a topic that you are interested in, this makes writing on your blog easier and faster. You won’t get burned out as quickly and give up as so many do.
I personally own a few blogs, each on different topics and I enjoy writing on each one. So pick your topic carefully when you are getting started. Blog about something you already know about, your work, your hobby, whatever.
As time goes by I will be talking more about blogging for beginners and just how to get started.
