Why Your Personal Brand Needs a .XXX Domain

The dirty secrets of personal branding - The Anti-Social Media

Starting today if you’re a registered trademark, you can buy a .xxx domain. And if your personal brand isn’t a registered trademark, it needs to be.

But that’s another issue.

Let’s face it. All the crap you’ve put on the internet is stored on a server somewhere, waiting for someone to dig it up and spin it against you, utterly destroying your career and professional life. Maybe those angry emails you sent as a teenager won’t be coming back to you anytime soon, but now you have a chance to claim the adult and sexy side of your personal brand.

Who doesn’t like a brand that’s sexy?

Having a .xxx domain says a lot of things about you. It shows you’re a risk taker. It shows you are ahead of the curve. It even shows you may have an exhibitionist streak. Also, given that IT departments across the world will begin blocking all.xxx domains, recruiters and hiring managers will have less access as they performed their half-assed Google background check.

You may not show your junk, but you can certainly hide your junk.

Start building your personal brand on yourname.xxx, along with all other 87 social properties you have. There’s no reason the internet shouldn’t know every single detail about you.

      Oh there are hundreds of sites where people flash their naked bodies on video. That’s what’s perfect about the internet.
