I'm going to name this podcast I'm starting "Ask Marvourneen" unless some other brilliant name strikes me.
Why did I choose my possibly hard-to-pronounce name to be my podcast name?
Because of a (as usual) wise Seth Godin blogpost which includes a reference to Find Engine Optimization.
Seth's argument is that it's better to own your brand name rather than try to use old school SEO tactics to get folks to find you. Everyone has a megaphone and the default is that you'll get lost in the crowd. Better to have a calling card that folks looking for you can find.
Another reason is that a lovely Apple Genius recently reminded me that my name is, in fact, pronounceable and actually kinda pretty.
I go by Marvo in most of my life to avoid hearing people butcher my name. But that's me underestimating them, and ironically making it about me in my effort to do the opposite.
Any who, thoughts and/or opinions? Please do share!
When will you be releasing the first podcast!??
ReplyDeleteI'm excited about this. I've run to you for situations of my own, and it would be a treat to see your thought process for things outside my immediate channel.
Carry on!
Now that I've figured out how to post comment responses on my own blog here's that response in a public setting!
DeleteThank you very much for the interest!!
Now I definitely have to do this :-)
I'm aiming for end of December for the first episode.
Will you be a guest during the first season?
