Day 2 Use AI to pick a Blog Name

Day 2: Use AI to Pick a Blog Name That's Short, Brandable, and Monetizable

 

Your blog name affects everything from search rankings to product sales, yet most people treat it like an afterthought. A strong blog name sounds professional, stays memorable, and leaves room for multiple revenue streams without boxing you into one narrow topic.

 

Generic names like "Sarah's Fitness Blog" or "Money Tips Daily" tell readers exactly what to expect, which limits your growth potential. Brand names like "Nerd Fitness" or create intrigue and allow for product expansion without confusing your audience.

 

The best blog names follow a simple formula. They're short enough to remember and type easily. They hint at your niche without being too specific. They sound like they could be a company name, not just a personal blog. Most importantly, they leave room for you to sell products and services under the same brand.

 

Here's where ChatGPT becomes incredibly useful for brainstorming. Instead of struggling to think of names on your own, you can generate dozens of options quickly and systematically.

 

Try this prompt: "I'm starting a blog in the [your niche] space. I want a short, brandable name (2-3 words max) that clearly signals the niche and feels premium, unique, and built for long-term digital product sales. Avoid clichés and overused terms, but don't be too abstract. Include powerful words that hint at authority, results, or transformation. Give me 20 name ideas that are memorable, relevant, and marketable."

 

For a fitness blog, you might get names like "Core Forge," "Muscle Strategy," or "Fit Command." For personal finance, something like "Profit Path," "Smart Ledger," or "Wealth Hero." These work because they’re keyword-rich, audience-specific, and still give you room to grow the brand.

 

Test your favorite names by saying them out loud and imagining them on business cards or product covers. Check if the dot com domain is available using a site like GoDaddy or Namecheap. Social media handles should match your domain name whenever possible.

 

Avoid names with hyphens, numbers, or unusual spellings that people will forget or misspell. Skip anything too clever or punny that might confuse new visitors. Stay away from names so broad they could apply to any topic, like "Life Hacks Central" or "Smart Living Tips."

 

Once you've chosen your name, register the dot com domain immediately. Don't wait or someone else might grab it. Connect your domain to inexpensive hosting from providers like Bluehost or SiteGround, where WordPress installation is typically a one-click process that requires no technical knowledge.

 

Setting up WordPress is simpler than most people expect. After purchasing hosting, you'll find WordPress in your hosting control panel. Click the install button, enter your site information, and the system handles the technical setup automatically. Within minutes, you'll have a functioning blog ready for customization.

 

Choose a clean, professional WordPress theme that loads quickly and looks good on mobile devices. Avoid themes with too many features or flashy elements that might distract from your content and conversion opportunities.

 

Your blog name becomes the foundation for everything else you'll build over the next 89 days. A strong, brandable name makes selling products easier, attracts more professional opportunities, and gives your entire operation more credibility with both readers and potential business partners.

DAY ONE – CHOOSE YOUR PASSION

Day 1: Choose a Niche That Attracts Money, Not Just Traffic

Most new bloggers pick their niche based on what they're passionate about, then spend months wondering why nobody's buying anything. Passion matters, but profitability matters more when you're trying to build a business.

You never want to get into a niche solely for the money, because you might end up bored or lacking the expertise you need to guide your audience for the long haul. But you definitely have to consider a monetization route before choosing a niche solely based on your interest in the topic.

The most profitable blog niches share three characteristics. First, people in these niches actively spend money on solutions. Second, there are multiple income streams available, from affiliate products to digital courses. Third, the audience has ongoing problems that require regular purchases, not just one-time fixes.

Health and fitness niches work well because people constantly buy supplements, equipment, programs, and services. Personal finance attracts readers who purchase books, courses, tools, and coaching. Parenting niches drive sales of products, resources, and educational materials. These audiences have disposable income and proven buying behavior.

Avoid niches where people want free information but resist spending money. Topics like general life advice or philosophical discussions rarely convert well unless you can tie them to specific, purchasable solutions. Similarly, highly technical niches might attract engaged readers who prefer to solve problems themselves rather than buy products.

Research your potential niche's monetization landscape before committing. Search for existing blogs in that space and see how they make money. Look for affiliate programs, digital product opportunities, and service-based offerings. If successful bloggers in that niche are struggling to monetize, you probably will too.

Check Amazon for books and products in your potential niche. A healthy selection indicates people spend money on that topic. Look at the reviews and sales rankings to gauge demand. Browse affiliate networks like ShareASale or Commission Junction to see what products are available for promotion.

Consider the long-term content potential of your chosen niche. Can you create hundreds of posts without running out of topics? Are there seasonal trends you can leverage? Will your audience need ongoing solutions or just one-time fixes?

Your niche should also match your natural communication style. If you're straightforward and practical, avoid niches that require emotional, inspirational content. If you prefer teaching and explaining, stay away from niches focused primarily on entertainment.

Once you've identified three potential niches, spend a week researching each one thoroughly. Join Facebook groups, browse forums, and read popular blogs to understand the audience's pain points and spending habits. The niche with the clearest path to profit and the most sustainable content opportunities gets your focus.

Remember that you can always pivot or expand your niche later, but starting with a profitable foundation makes everything else easier. Your blog becomes a business asset rather than an expensive hobby when you choose a niche where people actually open their wallets.
