Hi I'm Ryan Robinson

I'm a blogger, but I'm not my blog. I am not my business either. Occasional podcaster and very-much-recovering side project addict. Co-Founder at RightBlogger. Join me here, on ryrob.com to learn how to start a blog and build a purpose-connected business. Be sure to take my free blogging tools for a spin... especially my wildly popular free keyword research tool & AI article writer. They rule. Somehow, I also find time to write for publications like Fast Company, Forbes, Entrepreneur, The Next Web, Business Insider, and more. Let’s chat on Twitter (X?) and YouTube about our feelings (and business, of course).

    It’s a wonderful post – full of useful information, everything has been explained in detail, and the sentences are very simple to understand. From the beginning to the end, I enjoyed reading the whole post.

    You did a very good job on this post.
    Very very easy for a beginner to go with. Thanks a lot.
    And, I don’t know if it’s possible to change your blog name after some time. Is it?

    • Glad to be of help, Nonso!

      The short answer to your question (can you change a blog name later on down the road?) is yes, you can. It would require purchasing a new domain name though, which is usually around $10 or less, and you’d migrate your blog to the new domain—a process that is relatively easy to do… especially with the right hosting company that offers helpful technical support to guide you through the process.

  10. May I simply say what a comfort to uncover a person that genuinely knows what they’re discussing on the net.
    You definitely realize how to bring an issue to light and make it
    important. A lot more people need to look at this and understand this side
    of your story. I was surprised you’re not more popular because you most certainly possess
    the gift.

  13. Hey Ryan,
    Great article! I am also a new blogger. Your guideline helps me a lot. In your article, your point is too useful. Your first point is to “pick a name for your new blog” which is a great point. Because every blog has an identity for the blog name. If you can’t choose the right name, then your blog will not work. Thanks for your informative article.
