Absolutely. He has something valuable already: multiple niche domains, clear expertise, and media exposure through Building Fortunes Radio. What’s missing is one unified brand architecture so people understand who he is, what he does, and where to start.
Right now it sounds like several good ideas operating separately. That can confuse prospects. The move is to create one master brand with supporting channels.
Core Brand Positioning for Michael Jacobs
Primary Identity
Michael Jacobs
Financial Strategist | Personal Economy Architect | Self-Reliance Specialist
(Use “financial strategist” consistently if he dislikes financial planner.)
This frames him as someone who helps people see problems, create systems, and improve outcomes rather than sell products.
Master Brand Message
Suggested Core Promise:
Helping families and business owners identify hidden financial opportunities, reduce waste, and build long-term self-reliance.
That’s stronger than “planning.”
Brand Ecosystem (Use Existing Domains Properly)
1. Main Personal Brand Hub
Use one main site (ideally MichaelJacobs.com if available, or one existing domain redirected).
Purpose:
- About Michael
- Podcast appearances
- Services
- Book a strategy session
- Testimonials
- Lead magnet links
- All other domains feed into this
This becomes headquarters.
2. Thankyouplan.com = Lead Generation Funnel
Excellent consumer-friendly name.
Use for:
Theme:
“How to create appreciation-based financial momentum.”
CTA:
- Free report
- Free webinar
- Book discovery call
This should be entry-level and curiosity-driven.
3. Selfrelianteconomics.com = Thought Leadership Brand
This is the sleeper winner. Strong name.
Use for:
Theme:
Economic independence, family finance, preparedness, wealth habits, tax awareness, debt reduction, legacy systems.
Could become:
- Podcast
- Articles
- Membership community
- Courses
- Downloadable guides
This brand sounds larger than just finance. It has authority.
4. YourFinancialBlindSpots.com = Podcast / Content Engine
Excellent hook-based title.
Use for:
Weekly Show Topics:
- Retirement mistakes
- Tax blind spots
- Insurance blind spots
- Estate blind spots
- Inflation blind spots
- Small business blind spots
People respond to discovering what they missed.
Great for YouTube, podcast clips, radio syndication.
5. YourFreeFinancialPlan.com = Offer Landing Page
This is direct response.
Use carefully because “free” can attract low-quality leads.
Better positioning:
“Complimentary Financial Strategy Review”
Could still use the domain but phrase the headline smarter.
