6 reasons why you need a domain name

 

Lastweek i recieve a mail from a newbie blogger inviting me to write a guest post on his blog  

I was happy he invited me but i cant help but to turn down the request because of his domain name (which i won't disclose for security reasons), Yes he had a blog but hes still using the .blogspot.com subdomain (a great turn off)

This incident brought the idea of today's post,which I'll highlight how using a subdomain name like something.blogspot.com  or something.WordPress.com will kill you blog revenues and this could make you quit the beautiful blogging world

 blog visitors would think you're unserious

When new visitors come to your blog,they might like your content if they are genuine

But when they see your blog url, they conclude you're not serious about blogging and that's why you can't afford 4$ to buy domain name

You're always a newbie with your subdomain

Yes its true, no matter how long you've been blogging but with a subdomain ...you're still a newbie

You're tag has a newbie not only by your blog visitors but by search engines too (limiting the URL they crawl on your blog)

Rejection from most advertising company

You might want to make some money on your blog using ad company

sorry your publisher registration with us is rejected,we need to give our advertiser the best.....bla bla bla

This is the kind of rejection message you will receive from ad company whenever you try to register with them

They will tell you that your blog is not competent due to your blog using a subdomain name

   

                Think about adSense

Its true, you can be accepted by AdSense with your subdomain BUT this only happens to 1 blog out of 10,000 blogs

To be accepted by the highest paying ad company (AdSense) one thing you have to fulfill is having a custom domain

           

               No direct advertiser

If you are still using your subdomain, nobody would Like to advertise on your blog,or who would like to have his job given to a newbie?

                  Low or no sales

Ok, you dont want any ad company to boost your blog income so you decided to be selling your own product on your blog like ebooks or any other products

With your subdomain name, be 80% sure that you will have low or no sales on what you're selling online

Reason: to buy something online is just not easy unless they see the seller has a trustworthy person or organization with something to lose if anything goes wrong

People would think you're a scam and what you're selling isn't real because you have nothing to lose if they are eventually scammed

            Now   The solution

The only solution to this is for you to get a custom domain which will be something like yoururl.com
