This is a most important thing as without the topic or idea it is difficult for you to create or start a blog.




Choosing a blogging niche highly depends on your interests & knowledge in the topic of your interest. Start by thinking about the things you like the most, are you are cooking expert or you love to take beautiful photographs. You can be a fashion designer giving tips about fashion on your blog.

So, you should go for a niche that you love to write about. It will always keeps you going even if you don't make any money from your blog in starting months.

But think about the monetary value of niche Will you be able to earn from your blog. Lets suppose, if you start a blog about political gossips, Would you be able to earn something by this.

Step 2: Register a Domain Name for your Blog


1) Domain Name: A domain name is the name of your blog. Just Like lindaikejisblog.com or yourdomain.com.ng. The "lindaikejisblog" and "yourdomain" are the names of your website. And .com & .com.ng are the domain extensions/tlds (top level domains). 



Points to be noted while choosing a domain:

1. Keep it Short: By keeping your domain short, you make it easier for your visitors. You may see this with various domains such as JIJI.NG , NAIJ.COM. BBC.COM and many more.

If you are targeting a website for Nigeria then we recommend you to go for .ng or .com.ng as it will also offer you an advantage in SEO on Google Nigeria and .ng, .com.ng is also very brand in Nigeria. 

But if you want to create a global website then you can go for a .com domain as well. Generally we recommend you to have both .com & .ng domains for brand protection.
