I’ve licensed inspirational writings worldwide for decades on gift products in the real world, and now I’d like to build a following on social media. Which of the following names for my social media pages do you like best? Thank you! ---

Maybe add an option for “None of the above”? I didn’t vote cause I don’t really like any of them. If you only want opinions on those three, I dislike the first one the least. ---

All 3 options seem barf-worthy to me. This might not be the best way to do your market research. ---

“Gobbets of Glurge” What are these supposed to inspire, anyways? ---

For your target audience, my vote is #1. ---

There’s always the old favorite, “Quotable Quotes.” The three in the poll are all putrid, so I didn’t vote. ---

Obviously we’re not the target audience. The target audience is someone who’d buy the glurge-y stuff in the first place. The OP asked for help marketing the product to them, not us. ---

All three seem incredibly dull, bland, and forgettable to me. ---

Thank you for your honesty! 🙂 And you’re right, needscoffee. This stuff sells very well with its intended market. ---

I would also expect 1 to best market the product. 2 seems a little off-topic. I expect that to be short stories or novels, not “inspirational sayings”. ---

I’m not thrilled by any of them, but as you say, I may not be the target market. What is wrong with “Inspirational Quotes”? 🙂 Or “Inspirational Quotes posted by \”? ---

I don’t think the name needs to be particularly creative. It just needs to be easy to remember. “Words worth quoting” seems to fit that bill. ---

It doesn’t have to be in the .com top-level domain (TLD); there are many others, such as .best, .click, and .cool. I have one in the .info TLD, for example, and that might be a good one. ---

Which of the following names for my social media pages do you like best? Thank you! I am sorry, but I don’t find your proposals enticing either. I’m not a native speaker but I would like to venture to suggest a different name for your page: **Quote Me Quips**.
