Minx, Rich Minx, Talks About Good Taglines

A good site tagline (your subheading) can make all the difference. Daily Blog Tips has linked to some of the funniest taglines on the internet. Can you name any others?

The original tagline on RichMinx.com was ‘You had me at high yield’, back when all I talked about was money. As more and more blogging/web posts started creeping in, I changed it to the current, ‘Money, blogging and life talk from a monetizing webmistress.’ I’ve always been fond of the term ‘webmistress’ to describe what I do. Why should I be a webmaster when I’m female? ‘Webmademoiselle’ sounds even more exotic, or ‘Webfraulein’.

Anyway, I’ve been told again and again that a good blog tagline communicates to the new reader exactly what your blog is about, if indeed it is about something, and includes your main keywords. It’s your introduction to the world, like ‘Bond, James Bond’ or ‘Heeeeere’s Johnny!’.

Making it both accurate and funny is hard, but a successful tagline will stick in a reader’s mind, whether it’s funny, powerful or both.

I thought I’d run a few new Rich Minx tagline ideas by you. Which do you prefer, or have you got a better one?

  • Killing the internet softly with her money and web talk.
  • Money talks, Rich Minx hires an interpreter.
  • File under ‘Web’, ‘Money’ and ‘WTF?’.
  • You are not the contents of your wallet, but you are the contents of your blog.
  • Looks like somebody’s got a case of the blogging.
