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.
