I received an email from a member of mine that had an interesting question:

“Could you tell me. Should I use my own name or use another name for my home business?  Can I tell my name as Jack/Carolyn/Sam or… Charlie? :)

Would there any problem if I use another name?”

Thanks for your email.  It is a good question.  I personally use Charlie Plyler, my real name, for branding, but I think there are quite a few people that use pseudonyms.

Also, there are a number of marketers that use a catchy title.  Google these titles and you see the real person behind them.

“Barefoot Executive,” “Bob the Teacher,”  “Dr. Mike,”  “Mike G,” and “Ask Mr. Video.”  They are all very strong marketers.

So I think that you can do it any of the 3 ways:  real name, pseudonym, or catchy title.  Thank you for your question.

Comments anyone?

Make Today Count,

Charlie Plyler
