Hi Paul,
Thank you so much for your content. All of them great content and worth to spend massive time on your blog. I need to pick your brain about starting.
I am trying to get a decision about creating a blog which focuses on technology and software. My blog posts will be vary and hard to focus on only one technology/software. For example, I want to write about CRM tools, Learning Management tools, social media tools and/or Email Automation tools. So, all of them look like a different niche.
Question 1. What would be your advice? Should I start with one website/domain name and write all my blog posts on this blog or should I create different websites/domain names for each subject?
Question 2. Is domain name important for the audience? Do I need to create niche specific domain names or any private label can be a brand?
Thank you!
Hi Sibel,
Thanks for your comments and great questions. Let me try and add some value below.
Question 1. What would be your advice? Should I start with one website/domain name and write all my blog posts on this blog or should I create different websites/domain names for each subject?
Answer: If it was me I would focus on one domain name that is focused on the wider niche and use categories on the site to silo out the different sub-niches.
It will be a lot easier to grow one website from new rather than 3,4 or 5. As you will need to build links to the sites to build authority over time. So only managing one website will be a lot easier for building authority and there is little downside if all your topics are slightly relevant to each other, which it sounds like they could be.
Question 2. Is domain name important for the audience? Do I need to create niche-specific domain names or any private label can be a brand?
Answer: This is a great question and is highly debated. I will assume your ideal .com is already gone. I don’t think it matters too much compared to actually getting started and deploying some content. I would find a name that is topically relevant and a good name to use for the business as a brand and just get started. If you can use one of the major keywords in the domain great, if not, don’t worry about it too much.
I hope that helps. Feel free to ask any follow questions you like.
