Blog Naming - This is one of the more creative parts of a blog. Selecting a suitable blog name can be fun and imaginative. Not everyone has a domain name from a website, but if you do include this in the thoughts for your blog name. Remembering even just a little thing like naming your blog, this is how your readers find you.
I associate my blog with the learning process of making money on the Internet, creating an income. Blogging plays a major roll in this part for me.
Naming your blog should portray your tone and your content. Let me show you an example, lets say Julie wanted to name her blog and really she did not use much imagination and chose a simple name like "Julie's Blog". Now maybe this is a true and accurate name, but does it give you any indication what the blog is about? Now Julie really wanted to talk about her dogs. Julie has the cutest dogs and loves them so much that she wants to share her photos etc with the world. A more accurate Blog Name would be "Julie's Cute Dog Images Blog", or to shorten "Julie's K-9 Images" or "Cute K-9 Blog". You could really let your imagination have fun with this one. This then becomes shorter more memorable, brief, easy to spell and describes the subject matter. Then add a few good tags at the end like dog photos, cute dogs, cute dog photos etc. Readers looking for cute dog photos etc will have their day lifted with these beautiful photos of Julie's dogs.
Whatever you choose for your Blog Name, remember it is permanent. Changing the name of your blog later on can be confusing for your readers, it wreaks havoc on any of your links and your credibility does not follow the new name.
Make sure your blog name is not already in use, so do some searches, as this also can be confusing for your readers. Please do not choose a name that can be an alter-ego "Julie Queen of Cute Dog photos" or alienating your readers by having a weird names like "Harry's Big Hairy Toe" not the best way to find Harry's Blog who likes writing about his collection of Roses. Harry's hairy toe can be funny for some, but it in many cases would be a site that would not make many readers want to read past the Title.
On your first Blog you may not have it all exactly the way you want everything, and you find that after writing your first blog you had an epiphany and the most fantastic name for your blog pops into your head. By all means start a new blog with the new title and re-write your blog to the new name, but once you start attracting an audience changes are not recommended. So if you have to change your blog name, do it early before your readers are established.
Please choose your Blog Name carefully and thoughtfully. Plan for your Blog Name to be along-term commitment. So use your imagination and have fun Blogging!

WHAT IS A BLOG?
"Blog" the origin of the word Blog comes from the words "web log" which was used for a short time to describe entry logs on the web. It was quickly mashed into the one word "blog". Now the word "blog" now describes regularly updated posts on the internet. From the word "Blog" we now have "Bloggers" which is people who write and publish blogs, and Blogging the art of posting blogs. There has been a range of extensions to describe this wonderful past time. Slightly exaggerated wording has evolved nearly as rapidly as blogging itself.
Web log is nothing more than dated entries on the web sites. Blogs can vary as much as the writers who write them. The reason for starting a blog can be different for each individual. Many are motivated with reasons of enjoying the writing, looking for an income, the belief of what one person knows may help others or even just a way to communicate on the internet. Regardless of the reason that you have for starting a blog, you are creating a valuable service.
Hobbies create fantastic blogs, as they share information about a hobby that may be of interest to novices or experienced alike. You can make comments to share your view, or just to give a little insight on a subject that you are proud of.
Know how and technologies can be promoted so that we can always watch for trends, or just to see whats coming next. These Bloggers tell their audience about all sorts of exciting news, by keeping daily information on a favourite pastime updated daily.
Blogs can be informative, funny, funny pictures, charming stories or just family fun. More than anything that the readers find enjoyable.
Big companies like Google and Microsoft offer free blog sites to try and paint the face of friendly service. For these companies and many more like them, benefit from the business created by visitors to the blog.
You will find as you explore the worl of blogging, that not all blog writers provide a valuable service, they tend to ramble on incoherently, which makes these blogs not very entertaining.
So when you are ready to create your own blog, think seriously about what sort of blog you would like to write. Be certain to choose a topic that you have facts on, so that you can develop an audience that would like to follow each and every post.
Blogging is fast becoming the most widely read form of media, as blogging grows so does the audience it attracts. Blogging is also fast becoming a good way of earning an income. Many bloggers are professionals and the tools and information they provide can be invaluable.

BEWARE! There are too many Scams, Reviews and so called "Great Deals".
BEWARE! We hear so many reports and reviews on "what is a scam" and "what is not".
The whole internetmarketing, work from home or business online can be daunting.
Many are only out to sell ebooks, which can be good and a learning experience, but if they do not offer the follow through set up and on going support, you will not generally as a rule receive an income that you will be happy with.
As a rule you need to be able to contact the compay in which you purchased your product and be able to obtain a refund if the product is not what you expected. Most will offer a 100% money back guarantee, but aware that very few actually honour this.
Make sure you forget about all the so called testimonals, and all the selling hype, including the "only 5 positions left" or "only 2 days left at this price" nonsense. Really have a look at what you are buying, then assume that it may work, but do not expect your money back.

- Don't believe all the claims you read even the reviews
- Don't buy anything until you have 3rd party proof
- Plainly speaking: Don't get taken for a ride!
Which ever path you take, make sure that you try to give it a go. You will surprised how times I have heard the saying, it didn't work for me, but John made a fortune. What may be right for you, may not be right for others. You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink. So try to have a drink if you can.
