Is your passion Cooking? Music? Photography? Fishing? Real-Estate? Fitness? or something else?
Your passion will naturally lead you to who you want to be (your personal brand).
You may want to be โthe vegetarian chefโ or โthe piano coachโ or โthe perfect moment photographerโ or โthe fly fishing guruโ or โthe honest real-estate agentโ or โthe fitness super mumโ.
Step 2: Purchase Your Domain Name and Hosting Package
Using your personal brand name or your own name, buy yourself a domain name and hosting package.
Your domain name may be:
vegetarianchef.com
