The very first thing you should do
is think of a name for your website
and of course the related domain.
The two will go hand in hand and it
is likely that your first choice will not
be available so the best place to start
is by capturing a memorable domain
and moving forward from there.

Purchase and


set up your


new domain


1


Trial and error
The first step is to go to a domain
reseller and start typing in some domain
names. Take as long as you need to get a
name that works for you.

2


You only need one
You will be offered many different types
of domain, but you really must make sure
that the .com version is available. This is by
far the most valuable.

3


The full set
It is likely that you will need a set
of domains including .com, .co.uk and
potentially .net to ensure that your brand is
covered. Buy them from the same provider.

4


Consistency is key
Most providers will offer you the ability
to spend a little extra and use the domain as
part of an email address. This will enhance
the likelihood of people contacting you.

5


It is everywhere
You should also be able to connect
your domain to a variety of online services to
complete the picture. Again, take your time
choosing the perfect domain name for you.

Follow what
matters
You can set up your account
to follow specific publications
or general topics. It will take
some time to set up, but you
will need to be careful not to
overload yourself with new
content each day.

Stay informed
No matter what your site
or blog is about, you need
to stay informed about
the world around you. An
app like Flipboard lets
you quickly catch up on all
related topics and you can
search for anything.
