Last night I started looking into web hosting for this blog, including creating a domain name. It seems like the next logical step in creating a strong web presence. There are a lot of inexpensive options out there for hosting that are more than sufficient for my needs right now, but before committing to anything, I want to make sure my “brand” is something I want to stick with long-term. I see great branding when I look at bedeviant.com, ragamuffinsoul.com, human3rror.com, flowerdust.net, and rhettsmith.com (no creativity necessary for branding when you have a cool name like that). I can remember these brands and I know what I’m getting from them as easily as I know what I’m getting from a can of Pepsi or bag of Doritos.
So I guess I’m asking for your help.
Do I even need to change my brand?
Should I let emergingnow.com define my online presence?
Should I just go simplistic and make it tlamarca.com? It would create consistency between Facebook and Twitter.
What defines a strong personal brand?
What do you think my “brand” should be (and please explain why)?
wow tony, this is something i didn’t think about. but if your ministry manifests (even in part) online, this is a real consideration. i’ll have to think about this…
Honored at your assessment of our lowly little site.
Thanks my man. Brand away… BRAND AWAY!
Justin
just.
be.
you.
(flowerdust was an accident….turned brand…oh how i wish i would have chosen wisely!)
I think I am going to put this endeavor on hold for now. There are too many other things that need my focus more than making changes to my blog and web presence (that are sufficient right now anyway).
