Choosing a name for your site can feel like this critical process that you have to get perfect. After all, the name you end up with defines your site and influences your success – right?

Actually, that’s not true. Your site name doesn’t have all that much impact in the long-term. You’ll also find that the nature of your site influences how people see your blog name, rather than the other way around.

That’s why this post focuses on making the blog name process easy. We talk about key ways to find a name, along with things to consider along the way.

In the process, we also talk about some other important areas of creating your own site. This includes choosing a domain name provider, deciding how to build your site and finding good ways to make money.

By the end of the post, you should be able to buy your own domain name and get started with your site.

How To Choose A Good Blog Name

Your blog name will often have something to do with your site, so thinking about your goals is a good place to start. What do you plan to focus on? What writing style will you use? Who is your intended audience?

All of these areas can help you to work out possible blog name angles and ideas. For example, the site ourmisconception.com focuses on infertility from a very personal perspective, while the site eggdonationfriends.com has a greater emphasis on IVF treatment.

The site notsomommy.com is another blog with a personal angle. This time the author talks about the decision to embrace infertility. Then there’s mylittlesoldiers.net, which is an infertility blog from the male perspective.

You can also think about common words, topics and concepts that apply to infertility. You may choose to use one or more of these in your blog name. Examples include conception, infertility, infertile, mom, mommy, miscarriage and IFV.

Brainstorming is often one of the best ways to start. Try an old fashioned approach. Grab a pen and paper, then start jotting down whatever comes to mind.

Don’t worry if you’re not enthusiastic about the names in question. You may find that names you don’t really like help to inspire better ones.

You can also run terms through blog name tools, like Domain Wheel. These tools can be a great way to get new ideas and work out which domain names are still available.

Another part of this process is knowing which names not to choose. For example, including a number as part of your blog name often doesn’t work well. Anyone who hears the name won’t know whether to spell that number out or leave it as a numeral.

A similar problem is words that have multiple spellings, or where you are using your own alternative spelling.

To put it simply, confusing your audience isn’t going to help you.

It’s also worth thinking about your domain extension. The most common choice is .com. A .com domain tends to rank better than other options. This is also the domain extension that visitors trust the most.

Alternatives like .net or .org aren’t too bad either. They don’t rank quite as well as a .com, but they still often make it to the front page of Google.

Other options just aren’t worth it. While extensions like .blog and .xyz might sound cool, they don’t have the same ranking strength and they certainly don’t inspire trust.

Keyword VS Branding

If you’re still stuck with blog names, try thinking about the different blog name styles. For the most part, blog names can be based on a keyword or they can be branded.

The first style focuses on a keyword. This is a word or set of words that people use when they’re searching online. Keywords can be powerful for bloggers. They can help a site to rank in search engines, increasing traffic in the process.

Keyword blog names will often use a keyword phrase, like ‘best fertility treatments’. The associated site for that keyword might be something like bestfertilitytreatmentsinamerica.com or thebestfertilitytreatments.com.

Such domains aren’t guaranteed to rank for their chosen keyword, but they may have a ranking advantage. The trick is to find a keyword that works well and is still available.

A branded blog name doesn’t focus on a keyword at all. These aim to create something memorable instead. One example is the site bubblesandbumps.com, which talks about fertility treatment.

Branded names are often short, as short names tend to be easier to remember. But, some sites take a different approach, focusing on long names that involve a memorable phrase. If you were starting a dating blog to give advice to men in the dating scene but knew they were infertile, it might be a little cumbersome to name your blog datingwomenwhileinfertile.com

An example of brand is the site infertilegirlinafertileworld.wordpress.com. While the blog name is a mouthful, it isn’t difficult to remember.

Some blogs combine the two approaches. This may mean that they include a word that is related to the topic, like fertility or infertility, along with other words to make the domain name unique. Examples include the sites fertilityauthority.com, inviafertility.com and fertilitycenter.com.

This type of blog name is the easiest to find, as you can use the topic-based word as your starting point.

How To Buy A Domain Name

Once you have a blog name in mind, it’s time to get the domain name. This can be done from any domain name registrar – and there are plenty of these to choose from.

Don’t just go with the first company you see (which is probably GoDaddy). Take a little time to think about what you’re looking for.

All domain companies give you the chance to exclusively use a domain name for the duration of your agreement. This often means paying a fee every year.

Domain names aren’t expensive. You’re normally looking at less than $20 per year for a .com domain name. There are additional services too, like keeping your address registration details anonymous or having HTTPS rather than HTTP. But, those services are optional.

It’s worth looking for a service that is up-front about their pricing structure. The service should be easy to use too.

I’ve had good experiences with Namecheap. This service still has inexpensive domain names and is clearer about what you’ll be paying and when.

How To Build & Make Money From Your Infertility Website

Building your site is more complicated than buying a domain name. Don’t worry though. There’s nothing overwhelming in the process. It’s just a matter of going through one step at a time.

The first thing is – where are you going to build your site?

There are many different services out there now. Some are website builders, like Wix, Weebly and Squarespace. Others allow you to build your own site with WordPress. Hostgator is one such service.

You’ll also see some places that offer both. For example, GoDaddy offers hosting for WordPress websites and also has a very basic website builder.

Which angle is better?

The answer depends on what you’re looking for. “Done For You” website builders can create beautiful sites without much effort at all. They’re often easy to use and work well – as long as you don’t want anything too complicated.

Website builders work best for sites that need to look good, but don’t require much functionality. This is why many small businesses use them.

Problems arise once you want to do more complicated things, like SEO, social media integration or earning money. For example, affiliate links and display ads are two common income approaches for beginners. Setting these up will often involve working with the code of your website.

There are various plugins for WordPress to make these processes easy, but website builders don’t have the same support. Many don’t even give you access to your code or to the backend of your site.

Display ads and affiliate marketing are still possible with the right website builder, but you generally won’t have all the features that you need.

To make matters worse, website builders are linked to the company that created them. You can’t simply take your site to another service. You’re stuck with a single service and the plans that they have to offer.

This can be frustrating. In contrast, a WordPress site can be transferred to a different host. This gives you the chance to move hosts as your needs change.

I always recommend using WordPress, regardless of your plans for your site. With WordPress, you’ll always be able to meet your goals, even if you don’t know what they are yet.

This is possible because WordPress is a popular system. Many people create plugins, themes, tutorials and more to make WordPress as flexible as possible. If you have a need, there is likely to be at least one plugin to help you. You’ll also have a lot of help available, since there’s way more WordPress coders than Wix coders! 

How Much Do Infertility Bloggers Make?

Infertility is a personal topic. While you can make money with this type of blog, bloggers in the field don’t normally publish income reports, but there are other niches out there which do. Still, we can get a sense of the potential by looking at mom blogs, as these often focus on personal family challenges.

One example is the site Mommy on Purpose. Carly’s December 2016 income report showed more than $5,000 earned through the blog. The main sources of income were display ads and affiliate marketing.

While that income report is from 2016, Carly mentions that she still makes upwards of $5,000 per month from her site. She no longer posts income reports, but this doesn’t mean that her finances have suffered.

A second example is The Realistic Mama. The January 2018 income report for the site showed an income of more than $12,000. The single biggest source of income was affiliate marketing, which netted more than $6,000 for the month.

Display ads were significant too, as were sponsored posts and products that the site owners had created.

Display Ads

We mentioned display ads previously. These are the ads that you  commonly see on website sidebards and at the bottom of posts. They offer a simple way to make money from any website, on any topic, including infertility!

Since just about every company wants to sell their products online, there’s a good chance there are some companies related to what you’re blogging about who will want to place ads on your site. Everything is taken care of in the background, so you don’t need to do any work to find companies to work with.

Display ads would be the single best way to earn with an infertility blog, as they don’t need to relate to your content in any way. This gives you the chance to write on personal and emotional topics, without having to think about product promotion.

The biggest challenge is that display ads heavily rely on traffic. I ignored them for a long time for this very reason. It takes a lot of work to get a site to the point where it is earning well with display ads alone. Some sites never get there.

The process might be particularly difficult for an infertility blog. While many people struggle with infertility, your audience is never going to be large as a cooking blog or a makeup blog.

Thankfully you’re not limited to display ads. You can simply use display ads as one income stream.

Affiliate Links

Affiliate links are a second way to earn. Many sites use a combination of display ads and affiliate links, perhaps with other methods of earning thrown in the mix too.

The overall process is known as affiliate marketing. You are basically an online salesperson – promoting products from various affiliate programs.

The sheer number of programs means that you can pick and choose products that you are passionate about. One example that could be related to infertility is mental health affiliate programs. These could be perfect for an infertility blog, as struggles with infertility could contribute to depression or anxiety.

There are infertility affiliate programs out there such as Monica Biva, who sells a couple products related to IVF. There are definitely more out there as well, and you can research which products you want to promote on your blog.

You might also look at the Amazon Associates program. This allows you to earn from almost any product or service on Amazon, such as books on infertility.

Final Thoughts

The blog name that you choose is just one aspect of your site. It might be the part that people notice first, but your blog name is never going to define your success. The content that you create and your personality will always have a larger impact.

This is especially important for an infertility blog. Visitors aren’t interested in what you call the site. They’re looking for someone to connect with, someone who understands what they’re going through.
