Ask HN: Job Titles for Sole Operators? I am rebranding my business at the moment, and trying to decide what job title (if any) I should put on a business card. I am a sole operator, I do web design,coding, hosting, but am trying to focus more on the music industry, working with bands to promote them through the web via websites, facebook, twitter etc. Ideas are welcome :) Also, as sole operators, what titles do you use? |
As the legal term I use "Sole Proprietor": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sole_proprietorship
Try this: On the face: Name, pho no & email addr. On the back (opt): Company name & catchy, descriptive tagline. Use an interesting, legible font. Keep the color scheme simple.
A well crafted tag-line is much better than a title, and gives you a lot more freedom to market yourself, your services/products and your business.
I get a lot of complements on the simplicity of my cards, I save # on printing costs, and there is plenty of room for potential clients & customers to make their own notes about what they want to follow up with me on.
Consider "Web Dev Consultant" if you want to be ever-so-slightly quirky while still being informative.
Good conversation starter and unique.
