Before you start, I want you to take a piece of paper and start to jot down anything that comes to your mind when you think about your niche.

Then add everything that you think you will talk about in your blog. Add some adjectives to it, something that people use to describe you or the kind of person you want to be someday.

WHO IS YOUR AUDIENCE?

Who are you going to write for? Instead of saying yourself, you must write to someone else. Before you decide I need to tell you something: to blog is very hard today, everybody wants to be a blogger. Your blog must solve someone else’s problem. Yes, you have to like what you are writing and yes, it must be something very close to you.

HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF FASHION BLOGGERS SUBJECTS:

Are you rich and have access to the latest trends? Great! There is a bunch of people just like you who wants some guidance.

Do you know how to look glamorous with a tight budget? Awesome! You should tell others about it!

Are you going to talk about celebrities’ outfits? Go for it! It really doesn’t matter what you decide to talk about, as long you find someone to read what you have to say and interact with you.

IS IT TOO LATE FOR ME?

It’s never too late. One thing about the internet business is the power of reinventing itself. Tons of new blogs are created every day and I will be honest with you: most of them are garbage. And most blogs die after 5 posts. People want 10k followers in 5 days, they want to be famous yesterday, they want to make money and get gifts as a blogger like magic.

It’s not too late for you if you follow all the steps to be a successful blogger. Don’t try shortcuts! Don’t buy followers, don’t use bots. To be a successful blogger you must be a Content Creator first. You must have an audience, you must have followers who interact with your content (that’s why you can’t buy followers).

WHAT’S THE NAME OF YOUR BLOG?

Remember that list you jot down at the beginning of this post? It’s time to think on a name for your blog! My favourite fashion blog name is Not Jess Fashion, I love how clever this name is.

HERE ARE SOME IDEAS OF HOW COME UP WITH THE PERFECT BLOG NAME

Just + your name or nickname

______ Recommends

Day of the week you will post + your name or girl or your nickname or a colour

The ___________ Project

Miss ________

________Bliss

The beauty of _____

Beauty + your nickname

Your Name + Lookbook

_________Club

The_________Collective

Your Last Name _________

______Addict

Name of your town/city/country Tales

Three verbs you will talk about in the blog (example: Run Write Love)

Grab at least 5 ideas to choose from, because unfortunately someone might have had the same idea.

IS THAT NAME AVAILABLE?

You need to go to NameCheap to check. The reason NameCheap is the best is that you get the best price for a year and the WhoIs Protection for free. The thing about domains, you have to put your real address to register and if you don’t have a WhoIs Protection your address will be open to anyone to see.

I would like to say that internet is a safe place, with no creeps around, but if you are around long enough you know this is not true, and we must protect ourselves.

So WhoIs Protection is a must. Another thing to consider is the extension. The “dotcom” is usually the most expensive one, but you don’t have to grab one if you don’t want. I have a client who got a .today for as little as a buck a year.

Remember: people click on links, they don't type them.

Do you know the name of your blog now?
