One thing I learned early and the Internet is proving. Just be you. Just like domains, you are unique. There’s nobody like you for better or worse. You are your own brand and its a brand that you’re going to carry with you the rest of your life. I’m so glad that my early brand wasn’t in public view because I was just like every other teenager. Trying to figure things out. Good choices, terrible choices. It’s why I give some slack to young people. They have a ton of room to grow, whether they know it or not. They’re a brand in the making.
I have been looking through resumes and one of the first thing I do is look at their Facebook profile. I am constantly amazed what people put on Facebook. Some of the post literally give them a zero percent chance of being hired. A guy that applied for sales has a picture two days before the interview of him laying in a pile of empty beer cans while he’s passed out drunk. I realize that for every one I see like that there are probably 3 people in higher positions somewhere doing much worse things that aren’t on Facebook. Blessed in public. 23 year old secretary girlfriend in public. But this applicant wants to join our team and right off the bat I’m thinking he probably doesn’t have the best decision making skills. He doesn’t realize it but his public brand is not strong.
The beauty of the Internet is everyone now has a voice. Anyone can write exactly how they feel, what they are doing, and what they love or hate and have it for the world to read. But once you do that you WILL be judged. Your brand will be impacted. That’s the result of being public. You have created your brand using that voice. You might as well face that there are those that will disagree with you and will automatically dislike you for whatever reason. You could say that you want to save puppies and you will have those that are mad because you should be helping humans instead of animals. I would never tell anyone to be be careful what they say. I will only tell them that it will be there essentially forever and will become a part of how people think about you so keep that in mind as you say it.
I realize that not everyone wants to be a brand. But there is a saying that’s been around since the beginning of time. “A man (person) is only as good as his word”. Its becoming harder to be good if you don’t have any words. Here are today’s domains. Click to see the latest price

Have a name at auction and need more exposure? Send me an email. We Charge $10 per name per day. We may be able to help. If you have an auction you want to promote, email us for details.*All names chosen by us, Shane and Josh . (ie you click through and purchase a name you like) or an occasional paid listing. Everything we say is based on our own research or is opinion. Do your own due diligence. That means look it up yourself if you don’t think the stats or our opinion is correct. We hand choose the names but we are paid to make this list by both the auction houses, individuals that are auctioning names, and Godaddy affiliate links. Keep that in mind and only buy names that YOU think are good
I spent most of my youth saving human-baby/puppy half breeds !!! Am I hired?
And from the other extreme Shane, would you consider hiring a young person who isn’t on Facebook or any other social media?
Fizz,
the nursery industry is a little different. We have a lot of earthy, organic types that shop and work that are more outdoor and less social media. Its not all that unusual. Until the last few years 50% of the men that worked at our place didn’t have any social media. So in short, yes.
Shane, you were a fan of canna names from the beginning. Would you take $3K for cannabible.com?
I would never pay that but would sell it all day
Maybe that beer can guy can get a job at Network Solutions.
lol, probably already works for them as a domain transfer specialist
I know he’s definitely in charge of getting me my auth code 🙂
