The Trouble with Domains is.

I have an existing domain -- theriteofagingearly.com

At the time, I thought I was very clever especially as my watermark the Rite of Aging early...R, A were the only two capitalized because well...RA.

The problem with this domain is that it does not give the person clicking in any idea of what the blog is about (beauty and RA)...it's just an interesting link about someone who is aging early (a result of many medical conditions).

Going through this training and changing my thinking I actually thought of a better domain name: monicawithra (my IG handle) with the potential of growth -- beautywithra, petswithra.

...withra would then become my brand.

While I like this idea, I know moving forward this will be tough. Do I start with beautywithra? or with monicawithra? Do I have three separate sites so I can target exact audiences because right now, I talk about Rheumatoid Arthritis, Beauty and my pets. It is difficult to divert traffic when speaking on all three topics.

I know this is a super choppy blog post...but I am just writing as I am thinking....

What do you think? If any of this made sense...

I will commit to purchasing one new domain but am not quite financially comfortable with it. Can I stick it out for a while with theriteofagingearly before making the switch?
