  • I often get asked, "Pat, how important is it on what I name my company?" Or even, "How do I go about naming my business?" Here’s what you need to know, just as important it is on what you name your kid one day, or maybe you already have, it's just as important on what you name your company because that's how people will see that company or the name for the rest of its life or career.

      Kudos for the Video! Sorry for the intrusion, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Nanmily Domain Demythification (search on google)? It is a great exclusive product for finding success and profit using this online traffic source minus the headache. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my work buddy at very last got cool success with it.

    That stress when you've already chosen the name for startup and you see this video published... and then the relief - after watching - that you've picked a good name...!

    What's your favorite word? Your favorite words say a lot about what's important to you and about who you are, so it might be a good idea to use your favorite words in you company name! (But it depends of course.)

      Cecilia Elise Wallin • Clear-eyed Entrepreneur, my one word is, "encourage". I chose it easily, urged on by Evan Carmichael. as I have trained over 3 dozen men in pro tree climbing, I learned how much more important it is to encourage than to criticize.:)

    • @Inventicity
      @Inventicity 7 років тому +1

      Jason Bean Yes, that's en excellent choice. "Encourage" is a word I love too. We should all encourage each other to do our very best! Criticizing does no good, though concise feedback embedded in encouragement often is very helpful! I haven't climbed in trees since I was a child so I'm just about to check out your channel in hope of finding some impressing tree-climbing videos! 🙂

    I think what you said about research and associations is so important - our brains have such a complex wiring system, and it is so important to keep these historical triggers and implications in mind when choosing a business name. Great video!

  • @glenbhimani2302
    @glenbhimani2302 5 років тому +1

    Very true about choosing a company name, when i first opened i named it Bhimani Protective Services. A short month later we renamed the company to BPS Security and people loved it, it was easy to remember and say. And our name is also part of our logo we never use ot by itself.

    @ridig2915 7 років тому +4

    Tip : You can also use a name that has two parts (but not too long) with the same first letter or the two parts should rhyme for example "Coca-Cola" they used the same first letter and rhymed. The reason for this is that the brain remembers it better.

    Pat, I would like to build on your "how to start a business for under $500" episode. Naming a service-oriented business with the desired market in mind is an option. Mentioning so will add value to this video. It builds on your principle of specification; narrowing and focusing on a target market/industry. For example, National City Notary or Del Mar Detailing.
    Respectfully,
    -JQ

    Always you get value from Valuetainment videos great- thank you !
    I see some websites have one domain having multiple serps listings like tiffany rings (ecommerce cazegory pages) or websites with multiple blog topics have category pages and get multiple serps listings.
    is category pages a good way to achieve this goal?
    or having you name with multiple similar domains (smaller one topic sites) like this;
    namemedia (podcasts and videos)
    nameguides (articles, guides)
    namequotes (quotes, notes)
    nameblogs (multiple topic blogs)
    What do you think it's best ? Multiple domains will be more of work and costs...one domains is easier to handle.
    Have a nice day to all !

    Nice talk David. Can we also reflect on scores of successful businesses which names on their own mean nothing?
    We must remember that the perception in the eyes of consumers and the public goes a long way about a business.
    The coinage of a name may simply be an additional boost.
    Many examples are abound. Just look around.
    So we shouldn't over flog it.
    Get a good product out there. Sustain a good culture and your business will be remembered for that...

    Hey I want to creat a travel channel on UA-cam, however, m a bit confused. Is it a good idea to name the UA-cam channel and all social media platforms like facebook, twitter, instagram and blog with a similar name OR is it OK to name differently on all these platforms. Is it OK to name the channel and all social media platforms with my own name, or do I have to name the channel according to my niche? Which is Travel. Because I see a lot of UA-camrs whos channel names and social media platforms has nothing to do with travel, yet they do travel vlogs and blogs and get more and more subscribers. Need ur help.

    'LEGO' is an abbreviation of the two Danish words "leg godt", meaning "play well". It’s our name and it’s our ideal.
