Time Stamped Show Notes:- 00:25 – Today’s topic: How to Decide if You Need Separate Brands for Your Business
- 00:35 – If you’re creating different products and they’re not related at all, obviously you need different brands
- 00:45 – Having said that, you put SO much into building a site and brand, why not bring everything under one umbrella?
- 01:28 – Talking about QuickSprout
- 02:12 – The brand split wasn’t intentional
- 02:35 – Crazy Egg was such a different concept, it couldn’t merge with QuickSprout
- 03:10 – Most people create too many businesses
- 03:39 – Focus on your CORE business until it flat-lines
- 03:55 – Talking about Growth Everywhere versus Single Grain
- 05:05 – Just look at all the effort Neil had to put in to build NeilPatel.com
- 05:30 – You don’t need a personal blog and a corporate blog—just do ONE
- 05:45 – And generally go corporate, because you can market and sell that
- Your time and focus are limited—that alone means rare is the time when it make sense to split brands.
- If you’ve already established a brand, domain, and good traffic volume, why divert your attention from that?
- Unless the brands/products/offerings are going to be EXTREMELY different, it usually doesn’t make sense to kick-off a new brand.
