This is exactly what I needed to hear! Extremely valuable insight on procrastination and where focus really should be placed instead. Thanks Nicki 🙂

In reply to Morris. You are spot on! We encourage our students to focus on their portfolios and refining their skills, and not their business name (which isn't even necessary)!

Thank you so much for this insight… Spending so much time on your copywriting business name is resistance preventing one from starting their business. Instead, more time should be spent on things that matter to building the business… I think almost everybody has been stuck at the stage of looking for a name in one way or another. Am kind of stuck here a little bit, and I would love to ask for your opinion: Which one would sound better as a name for my website: copybymorris.com or morriscopy.com? The first one conjures the notion of a “brand” to me and likely to attract clients who appeal to the “brand” while the second one sounds more “professional’ and ‘commanding’ and likely to make clients take me more seriously. What are your thoughts on this? And does the name really matter; can it draw or repel clients? Or should one focus on showcasing their skills such that their skills are what draw clients to them rather than the name (considering that the name is what people initially see or hear about you)?.

In reply to Jerri. It sounds like you need to hit publish on that portfolio! Glad this article helped conquer resistance and will pass this note along to Nicki and the rest of the team. :) Thanks for commenting!

As always, Nicki, your advice pops up when most needed! I was, of course, googling copywriting names and this article appeared. My next point of procrastination was changing the template for my unpublished-as-yet portfolio because I decided I didn’t like it. It’s probably absolutely fine to start with, I am just wasting time, so it seems!

Resistance conquered…for now. 😉

In reply to KJ. This is a great question! You can definitely change your name on your branding down the road. But you can also avoid needing to do that by choosing a name that won't be affected (for example, use your first and middle name) or keep you maiden name when dealing with business aspects but change it legally and in your social settings after getting married.

This article came at the right time. I’m a subscriber of CCA and was Googling business name generators and this article popped up! Putting me right back on track.

However, what do you suggest for people not yet married but who may plan to eventually change their last name? Once you brand yourself as your name, would it be hard to change everything around?

Sometimes there are other reasons than ‘procrastinating’ for not wanting to write under your own name. I live in a Western European country, and my parents came here as immigrants. Being a minority from a specific ethnicity in this country means that there is a lot of prejudice. Solely based on my name, potential clients will assume that my knowledge of our native language isn’t up to par to do business-related writing, even though I was born here and went through the same education system as them. I even have a MA-degree in linguistics.. If I had a typically sounding name and surname, for sure I would just use that to do business and save myself all the hassle. Unfortunately, from experience and feedback from clients that did decide to work with me, I realized that my name is seriously holding me back.
