    Struggling with choosing my ONE thing - Could use some external perspectives.

    MINDSET 
    No problem. Good on you for making a spreadsheet. I'd even consider doing a google search for "famous people who like fan art" or "celebrities who like video games" and a bunch of other versions of that. I look forward to your DM.

    Do you like video games? Your art seems to be inspired by that. Here's an idea: serve the people who love video games/video game art and have influence/celebrity. If you can say, design something for Marcus "Notch" Perrson (creator of Minecraft) that you have a reasonable guess he'll like...

    MOVING OUT with $2,000 and no credit, or am I DELUSIONAL

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    While others have had good insights to share here, you WILL HAVE TO DO what @JAJT says at some point, and the best time to do that is right now. To repeat him, what is moving out going to entail numbers wise? Write it down. What numbers do you have coming in? Write it down. Compare. Move on...

    Best Strategy For Naming a Business?

    It's here: A rose by another name might smell like crap However, here are "the exact steps";) I'd take to start, @TheodoreA : 1) Select a "start up" name as @Andy Black calls it. This is any short name that you can use to get started and move ahead in your business. You can change it later...

    Now that you mention, I should've known. I mean, their strategy is to conquer and then monetize. So they definitely won't make any concessions to anybody. Right you are. It's a legal but dirty play.

    gotcha. Get the ball rolling, don't let lack of name get in the way of providing value.

    Game or Movie?

    MINDSET 
    I️ like movies, but a 75 year one? Heck no. I’ll take my chances with the wins and losses, the ups and the downs of the game.

    GOLD! MARKETING 
    When it comes to bidding for your own name, is Google pulling a fast one on you by allowing others to bid for your name (especially if your name is intellectual property)? From Google, "AdWords ads using restricted trademarks in their ad text may not be allowed to run. This policy applies...

    Solid post. All that stuff's pretty new to me, but it makes a TON of sense. I mean, the control of the SERP real estate alone is pretty worth it. I tell, you the more I learn about "new media", the more I think it's similar to "old media". Page 1 of a google search is like having a billboard in...

    I'd be surprised if you didn't at least know that a telegram was a form of messaging. And then there's "program" (meaning public writing/message), "Christmas gram", "candy gram". It's possible you got it viscerally or subconsciously.

    I thought it was at least lesser known than the unfortunate penisland .net , purveyor of pens... I hope. Stories have to be told to be worth anything. So, not usually much, in my opinion, unless you have a really powerful story and it permeates all your marketing. Toms Shoes have no story...

    A rose by another name might smell like crap

    MARKETING 
    Right?? For fun here are a few more real companies with unfortunate names: -Wong Doody (it's the owners' real last names). Fortunately, they removed the CEO's name, because it's Weiner. They are an ad agency out of Seattle. -Hooker Furniture (again, owner's last name). They sell furniture not...

    MARKETING 
    I've mentioned the value of a brand name elsewhere. The idea is that people will search for "photo sharing app" today, and you can hope your app shows up among a list of 100 other similar apps, OR if you have brand recognition (like Instagram), people skip searching for "photo sharing app" and...
