    So, i am opening a new blog and had a domian I thought would be good. But after review, im thinking it is not good for what I want to portray. My blog is about being an inspired entrepreneur and blogger. It will discuss blogging tips, along with marketing and general blogging help. On top of that, there will be business ideas and a lot of other random stuff.

    The domain I had is cashpunk.com-I think it is a decent domain name for certain niches, not sure what. Maybe making money online, or the like.

    The new domains I am considering are my name, RyanKowalski, or something like friendswithryan.com or something.

    What are your guys thoughts? Will people take in to the name cashpunk.com? Or should I switch?

    I think cashpunk.com is also good name for your theme. I suggest you to go with it (no need to go for another domain purchase).

    DON.

    I think domain name for people needs to be something they can remember. For SEO it will help for you to have a name that contains keywords from your niche.

    Not sure whether this is an issue for you or not, but putting your own name (or part of it) in the domain name will make it practically impossible to ever sell the blog on. Whereas, with cashpunk.com, your replacement can just announce "I'm da new punk round here" and carry on as before.

    I would agree your name is hard to spell and with a domain that has to be a given. However, I have been wrong in the past. A good resource that I refer people to is http://www. dailyblogtips.com awesome resource at least I think.

    Cashpunk makes you sound like an online mugger, like a hoodie.

    Something related to your keyword is ideal

    I like the name CashPunk but I don't think it fits with what you want to do here. I would try to include the words blog or blogger in your domain.

    CashBlogger.com would be sweet, but I guarantee that's already taken.

    I think ___ideas.com or ____blogger.com would be great, but that's just my opinion. =)

    BusinessBlogger.com?
