Are you a Narcissist?

Posted in Blogging, Humor by User ImageDouglas Karr at 7:20 pm

You may also find my other business blog helpful, Social Media Domination.

NarcissistJohn Chow has a pretty unique promotion going… it’s “My Name is My Domain List”. I don’t know that it was narcissism that made me do this, I simply figured out that there was no other domain name that really identified who I was with the exception of my name. My companies, jobs, and websites might come and go… but I’m sticking with my name.

As well, I think utilizing your name builds some credibility in your site. I have On Influence… but would rather folks identify my brand, my image and my message with my name.

***Start Copying Here***
1) Write a short introduction paragraph about what how you found the list and include a link to the blog that referred you to the list.
2) COPY the ENTIRE List below and add it to your blog. To avoid duplicate content and increase the amount of keywords your site can accessible for, go ahead and change the titles of the blog. Just don’t change the links of the blog.
3) Take “My Adds” and move them into the “My Originals” list.
4) Add 3 Brand New Narcissistic Bloggers that you know of

My Adds:
Chris Baggott - Email Marketing
Pat Coyle - Sports Marketing
Ade Olonoh - Software Entrepreneur

NOTE: If you are a narcissist… be sure to get the shirt over at Psychotherapy Clothing. :)

Great that your name was available as your domain! I think it is a very smart move. Unfortunately, Becky Carroll is a little too common, so one of the other Becky Carrolls got it ages ago. Oh, well.

There was some luck involved! There’s a Director, Doug Karr, who has done quite a few films and seems to be an ‘up and comer’. I’m waiting for him to get famous so I can get some accidental hits. ;)

[...] Douglas Karr is linking to a John Chow post called My Name Is My Domain List.  Interesting, why do some people choose to use their name as their URL? My reason was similar to Mr. Karr’s. “My companies, jobs, and websites might come and go… but I’m sticking with my name.” [...]
