“I’ll start my blog once I figure out what to name it.”
Whether you realize it or not, this is an excuse. It’s an excuse we use to delay the vulnerable act of starting. It often comes side by side with things like…
“I need to take a writing class first”
“I don’t know how to create a website”
“I don’t have time”
All excuses
And since when does having the right name mean you will be successful? Were Guns and Roses, Style Me Pretty, or Facebook successful because they had “the right name”? No! In fact, Facebook changed it’s name after their first few years of existence. Their popularity was growing before, and it continued to grow after. The name was pretty irrelevant.
These projects were successful because they continued to provide value by sharing their art with a group of people.
So call your blog “Sam’s Blog” or “My Blog” or “I don’t know what to call this”. It doesn’t matter! What matters is that you start, and make a commitment to share on a regular basis.
