How to Select a Platform for Beauty Blogging

There are many more platform over the internet even for free but I recommend the wordpress.org. it is self hosted and free for use.

The biggest mistake beginners beauty blogger make when building a blog is choosing the wrong blogging platform.

For 90% of users, it makes more sense to use WordPress.org also known as self-hosted WordPress. Because it is free to use you doesn’t have to pay anything, you can install plugins, customize your site design, and most importantly make money from your blog without any restrictions 

How to Register Domain Name for Your Beauty Blog

You have decide the name of your blogger in your Niche. Try for that in which you are expert and can create lot of the content for blogging.

You can take the Domain name form Godaddy or other .But certain time Domain name are provided free along with hosting plan.

While selecting the Domain name try make it short ( ideal length 8 character) as possible , which will be easy for visitors to remember, easy to spell, descriptive and brandable and try to take .Com extension.

As per the Alexa report of top 250 sites over 71% sites have domain name less than 8 characters.

Use your Keyword as domain name for example if you are selecting Skin care than your domain name should be Skincare.com or similar. it will improve your search engine rank.

If your blog service is location oriented than try to include city. it will easy to remember for your visitors.

Make sure the name you have selected is not copyrighted,
trademarked or being used by another company. It could result in a huge legal mess problem.

In some problem Domain name generator can be used. You can consider sites like:

1. Impossibility
2. BustAName
3. IWantMyName
4. Dot-o-mator

Create a list of possibilities, using those tools if you like. A spreadsheet is a good option here. Add columns for budget and availability of the domain, too.

You should only choice top level domain for you like. Com,. Org, . Blog etc.

There are some hosting provider are giving domain name free if you choice their hosting plan. In my opinion you should not compromise the domain hosting plan for just domain name.
