I love your way of thinking. I had this problem but I think you got to just do something either way. Fail forward. After experience, you will know what the right thing to do it. plus... domains are really cheap and you can transfer all posts from one site to another.

Prob not the answer you were looking for but I hope my take gives you another way at looking at things

You can use leandomainsearch dot com, you input a word and it gives you another

And a godaddy valuation tool to find a memorable name.

However nowadays domains are not so affected by SEO vs writing quality rich content with good choice of keywords, latter of which would rank you in the search engines.

I would always go for a dot com domain name vs dot net or dot org as people's perceptions when they start typing they would typically assume it is a dot com. And make sure it is spelled correctly as it cannot be edited once purchased.

I would not include dashes and check if the domain is copyrighted, trademarked and ' or registered to an established business.

I see you have build your website, you may have already decided on a niche?

In the first instance, I'd ask myself

Am I passionate and genuinely interested in my chosen niche, as I I'd be expected to write lots of content, it would motivate me to update blog with succinct original content worthy my visitors week in week out.

Would I be writing about it in a years time or two or more

Who would be my target audience, who would benefit most from what I have to offer.

I just send you a detailed PM about niches.

What is it that you are passionate about, talk a lot about that you know something about and could help people with. Building a niche website is all about helping people with your niche niche idea. So the easiest is picking one that you are passionate about, have experience and knowledge with and know problems you can help people with.

As for a domain name it can be anything you wish, but it is helpful if it at least has your niche keyword or idea it in to help people remember it. For example if I am into camping, my domain name could be campingrun.com or campingwithnature.com. .

Good morning Darren,

Thank you for your question and welcome to Wealthy Affiliate.

To be fair, a domain name doesn't really make any difference to how your website performs. However, I do think it's important if your website is about dogs, for example, that people know it's about dogs! And yes, I would choose something like, "dog's world" although it's probably taken! But certainly something similar.

Regarding your niche, don't look at where the money is, go to where your passion lies. It's important to have a passion for your niche otherwise it becomes very difficult to write blog posts for something that you do not have a passion for.

I believe that everyone has a passion for something or a hobby or an interest. In the best possible way, if you haven't, you definitely need to.

I hope this helps.

Roy
