Name Origin Challenge: Why @SpiritualMax? The Reason Behind the Name!
Well, I have been nominated like crazy for this challenge, maybe because people see a huge difference between the "Spiritual" nick and the meditating guy image and what I post.
Well, keen eye, let me tell you all about my name.
By the way, some of the people who nominated me were @eonwarped, @nissla and... well there were more but I can't find them now since those happened a longer time ago.
So, without delay, here's the reason behind my name...
@SpiritualMax Name Origin: Now I regret it... but heck!
So, as you may know I'm an Internet Marketer.
My trade was to sell stuff on the Internet, and promote projects from a variety of niches.
A person can't be perceived as an expert in all niches though, so Internet Marketers like me have to create pen personas in order to push projects and products of nearly all niches.
Usually, we develop a pen persona by starting to give it exterior credibility through outside links to the person's site or project, citations by other authors, guest blogging and more.
I found STEEMit when I was creating this new persona for my "New Age and Spirituality" Niche, because I was starting to push products of that area.
The pen person I created for that was Max Webber, aka Spiritual Max.
When I found STEEMit I thought it wouldn't be something that would last, so I figured "Yeah, let's just make a couple of posts and get some links to my persona and leave."
Hence, @spiritualmax was born.
Why Max Webber? The Pen Persona Explained!
Marketers have a lot of tricks to tap into your subconscious.
One of the tricks we use is we think of names that instantly push trust upon people.
Max Webber is the father of Sociology, but more important than that, it is a trustworthy name - but why?
Simply because experts throw his name left and right, but average people NEVER memorize it. This makes it so that people hear or read "Max Webber" as a trustworthy name without knowing why... this is why some names just "sound good".
They are names which people are used to hear and yet don't know why. As I said Max Webber is the father of sociology, but average people don't know that and only think the name "sounds" nice, from the fact most people's subsconscious have heard it or read it alot already throughout their lives.
A Special Treat: SpiritualMax was a Spiritual, New Age Beliefs and Alternative Conspiracy Theories Personna.
Now, as I said, this name happened because I thought I'd just create a couple of posts here and never visit it again, so I would only reap a couple of contextual links and that was it.

In Conclusion:
So, this is the origin of my name.
I won't nominate anyone as I think I've seen those who I wanted to do so post about their names already.
But noone can say I didn't participate.

Mysterious Max would have been better.
LOL at George Constanza.
Lol, that’s the coolest explanation in this challenge I’ve read so far! I created personas a lot while being a content writer for people with mental health issues. The ‘naming them’ part was interesting since we would always have discussions like ‘this is CLEARLY a Max!’, or ‘Nooo, he is WAY too spiritual to be a Max!’
:-)
Thanks for sharing!
Hehehe, yeap, then you know how it rolls! :D
Cheers!
Indeed great explanation lol very honest. Curious on those products you were thinking to sell.
At the same time it teaches how to read content with a second thought.
Here is another hearty endorsement of the handle "Max"
MAX POWER! :D
Thanks! I actually meant to nominate you so I'm glad you explained! Haha everyone wants to nominate you... you're so popular! Come for the backlinks, stay for the community! 😆
Thanks :D <3
When I found out your background and occupation, I figured that Spiritual Max was a marketing name. And I'm glad to hear I wasn't totally wrong. Like you, Herbert Holmes isn't my real name :) my real name looks somewhat ugly and confusing, and HH was something I created a few years ago right outta high school when I thought I'd have time to write more. There is an origin to the name, but I also just kind of liked the way it rolled off the tongue, haha. I don't have any background in marketing or psychology though, so I could be totally fucking wrong!
Oh cool!
Herbert Holmes is indeed a good name as well.
Holmes Herbert was a famous actor in the 50s I think :D
Cheers
Wow. @spiritualmax!!! I didn't know you are this deep :) I love it!
I won't pretend I'll take part but I sure did enjoy reading this through.
See ya on the disc.
Xo
quite the entrepreneurial mind you have.
Bring back the new age spirituality! What kind of products? Do you have a non steemit spiritual persona too?
Yes, Want to know Spiritual Max?
Here is Max Webber:
Well I wouldn't have believed that Max would do this. We were joking in the Tavern that even if we tag you, you would never do it.
Holy crap the first posts that you had is so different from the Max persona I know now. We are all personas and we can change it as we see fit.
Here's "Me" outside of Steemit.
Its this personna.
