A professional blogger must have a real domain

What are domain names? These are the web site address/ name like google.com, yahoo.com, ProBlogger.net etc. These are the most valuable assets of the internet and people are making millions of dollars selling these things. As a pro blogger, you must have your own domain name so that you will get the best value and the brand for your online venture.

Here are the reasons why you should own your own domain,

Its cheap
Getting your own domain like yourname.com, .net, .org or .info costs next to nothing. You can find a domain in less than $10(700 BDT) Your own domain is your asset and its cheap. You can earn $10 with a single paid review. So my request for you is to buy your own domain as soon as possible.

Its professional
You want to be a professiona blogger, then be a professional. Your own domain gives you the feel that you are a professional and serious about the blog. The people will like to read from a professional blogger.

Its shorter
You don’t have to add the word, .blogspot.com with your domain. Its your own domain and its shorter than a subdomain. Can you see the difference between blogkori.blogspot.com and blogkori.com? Which one is shorter and easy? Your readers won’t have to type a longer address like, your-own-blog.blogspot.com.

Easy to brand your blog
If you want to brand your blog, you have to get your own domain. Your own domain is catchy and people won’t forget your blog address. You may have a blog with a long address, how do you tell your friends about it and how they remember it? But with your own domain, its easy to tell everyone like, blogkori.com.

People will take it seriously
When you tell about your blog to others, blogkori.blogspot.com, people will react that ‘Its just another free blog!‘ But with a real domain, blogkori.com -people will be interested in it because you have to pay for a real domain and it must be worth reading.

By getting a domain, you don’t have to buy a hosting service and other charges, blogger will still host your blog for free. But people will think that you have a major setup and invest in it and will be interested to visit. They will never know that its a free blogger blog.

Get more advertisers
Most of the people on the internet, ignores the blogs with a free domain. When it comes to advertisers, they don’t like a blog with a free domain. 80% of the advertisers on payperpost.com, will reject you because you don’t own your domain. My two blogs have their own domain and this is why I get lots of tasks from PPP. I spent my first earning from PPP by buying a domain for my first blog and in the next month I got back 10 times of the investment for the domain. Most of the advertiser programs don’t allow a blog with a subdomain/ free domain.

Its your asset

You start a blog now and buy a domain. After 2-5 years, the time may come that, you don’t want to blog anymore. On that stage, your domain will have a nice google page rank, alexa rank and a nice daily visitors. You can then wish to sell your blog.

There are many companies on the internet who are willing to pay a large amount of money for old domains. You will get more money if you have a running blog with an impressive amount of visitors. Your blog is your asset if you own its domain. But if you run a blog with a sub-domain, you will not be able to sell it because your blog provioder owns it.

Its safer
Your free blog has a risk. Blogger owns your blog and they may delete your blog someday without giving any prior notice. What will happen when you woke up one day, type in your blog address and see, ‘This blog has been deleted!‘ What will happen to your hardwork and where your readers will find you? There will be no problem with your own domain. Even if blogger deletes my blog, I will create another account or move to wordpress and setup blogkori.com in the new blog. My readers will not know what happened.
