Own Your Domain

The most important aspect of any brand is in the clarity of what it represents. Owning your domain allows for you to select the most appropriate name and to keep it as simple as possible. Remember you want to be clear with what you represent and a sub domain will only add words or phrases unrelated to your brand. This will only serve to compromise the message you are sending to people and the effectiveness of any branding strategies you may use!

Pay for Hosting

Although saving money and using a free blogging platform such as blogger or wordpress may be tempting it is only makes sense in the short run. This may be a good way to get familiar or comfortable with blogging but creating a strong brand awareness online takes time and patience. It is unlikely a free blogging platform will give you the needed flexibility to establish such a presence! You see free is not always free in terms of control when it comes to a blog. These hosted platforms have rules, regulations and conditions you need to abide by or they will close you down, just like that!

Branding building involves much repetition in order to help reinforce the online reputation you need or want to establish.
