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.

I was a little annoyed that he linked to a long dead blog (basically, my blogs were in the “Best Tagline Category” of the bloggies). So that got all the linky love juice
Mine stems from the fact my blog is banned in China - “1/6th of the World Can’t Access it, 5/6th of the world doesn’t want to.”. During my student days, mine tagline was “Stealing traffic cones form the information superhighway since 2002″
I like the second one the best.
Best I can come up with is “Single, Female and Rich - what’s not to like?”
August 30th, 2007 at 9:54 pmooh, ooh, ooh - I like the first one! Whether or not people know the ‘Killing Me Softly’ song, I think it’s not a bad tagline at all.
August 30th, 2007 at 10:07 pmI kinda like the interpreter one.
I don’t even have a tag line, I feel so inferior. Got any suggestions for the creativity challenged?
August 30th, 2007 at 10:19 pmHi Kirsty
Couldn’t you shape some sort of tagline from your ‘What’s My Story’ section?
August 30th, 2007 at 10:37 pmMy favorite is “File under ‘Web’, ‘Money’ and ‘WTF?’.” It’s cute and to the point. Mine is just “Blogging made devilishly simple.”
August 31st, 2007 at 2:20 amKristy: How about something simple, like:
“Living the Dream”
or
“Spending My Earnings One City at a Time.”
August 31st, 2007 at 3:07 amOoh I like the second one. But I think I want to go for something funny. How about something like: File under ‘Web’, ‘Money’ and ‘WTF?’.
It’s so unique! It’s so me!
*evil laugh*
August 31st, 2007 at 3:15 amFile under ‘Web’, ‘Money’ and ‘WTF?’.
This one is the winner
August 31st, 2007 at 4:19 amI love this NZ time difference… I go to bed and wake up to all these comments!
So you all like different taglines - if only I could have more than one. Kirsty, no tagline stealing! I like ‘Spending my earnings, one city at a time’.
Rhys, how did your blog get banned in China? Don’t they like football? I like all your taglines, you should hire yourself out as a tagline writer!
August 31st, 2007 at 8:13 amI love the first one about killing the internet softly - very cool! Has a very seductive tone about it.
I made up one for you though that I think you should use:
“I’m Rich Minx, Who The F**k Are You?”
August 31st, 2007 at 12:49 pmNow you’re just trying to get WebSense to permanently ban me!
Actually maybe I should make that my tagline: ‘Filtered as sex content by WebSense… will she live up to her reputation?’
August 31st, 2007 at 1:21 pmYES! LOL!
August 31st, 2007 at 2:35 pmHi Shona - And the other day when your site got banned by websense at my work, you were wondering if it was because you mentioned ‘polyamory’ in passing lol now you go all out mentioning THE WORD..
August 31st, 2007 at 5:26 pmWell I’ve been banned, I may as well go crazy!
August 31st, 2007 at 6:28 pm“Money talks, Rich Minx hires an interpreter”.
I also prefer the second one.
The only one that “speak” to me.
I propose a new one:
“Thus spoke my blog.”

definently go with the second one,
also the adsense below the post is displaying a “Try Bikini Waxing Monkeys” ad.
September 1st, 2007 at 4:36 pmOr you could do a spin on Descartes phrase, “I think, therefore I am.”
I blog, therefore I am.
I blog, therefore I am (rich, sexy and single).
I blog, therefore I am rich, sexy & single.
September 1st, 2007 at 4:36 pmBikini waxing monkeys… so many questions I don’t even know where to start.
September 1st, 2007 at 4:49 pmI’ve heard the term, ‘I blog therefore I am’ somewhere before - can’t remember where - so I don’t think it’s original.
I do like “I’m Rich Minx, Who The F**k Are You?”!!
