One of the ways to get noticed and achieve fast branding is to have your own domain name... such as
bloggerbroadcast.com rather than
bloggerbroadcast.blogspot.com, especially if you are monetizing your blog. Advertisers want to see that you have a "name" and a domain, whether it is [dot]com, [dot]net, or dot]org. Having your own domain name will increase the chance of you getting contacted by more advertisers. Of course there are other things to consider when aiming to entice advertisers such as your
website's traffic rank and
Page Rank.
To purchase a domain name, use a reputable site like "go daddy", I am using them and have no problem so far. Or you can search online to find hosting sites that offer
FREE domain name. You will find in some useful details and comments in my article
FREE Domain Name very useful if you are in the market for your own domain.
And "cheers" to our very own domain.

Hi Jenilee, When I moved to .com from blogspot, Blogger did it automatically and it took several days. It transferred everything fine, otherwise, you might need to download the entire template and paste it yourself. I guess I need more specifics to be able to answer you fully. :-)
ReplyDeletegood tip, I stumbled this, thanks! :)

My domain was the gift that my son gave me for my birthday, and it made me feel much more like a bona-fide blogger.

This is so true. I used Go Daddy to purchase my domain name just a month into my blogging. It makes a difference.
