Finalizing the Name for My Business

by DancingHamster
13 replies
So, I am making a website for teaching young people how to become young entrepreneurs, but I am not done with the name. The name I like the most so far is iTreq. Sort of like Trek, as in a journey, just spelled a little different. I'm looking for some unique names to help out the site, something someone would be able to remember

    Curious...

    How does someone who can't even pick a name for their business teach young people how to become young entrepreneurs?

    This just doesn't make a lot of sense.

    This might be a good time to rethink your overall qualifications about this project.

      I think he just want our opinion about a catchy but meaningful business name which is definitely not easy to come by. By the way, why are you interested with misspelled titles? Why not settle with those that can be clearly understood? Just curious though.

        Yes, thank you!

        Also, yeah, it really doesn't need to be misspelled, just catchy

      Why does someone make such a rude comment when a Warrior is asking for opinions on a name. This just doesn't make a lot of sense. You might want to rethink your qualifications for making such a statement.

    Sounds like a business for hiking adventures, not teaching entrepreneurialism.

    Search engine optimization favors old fashioned naming, just saying what it is (NewEntrepreneur), an abstract company names can pay off after your pr department has made an extended branding effort. A session with the google keyword tool might yield a usable synonym that people are searching for.

    There are some naming aids on the web, at least one that looks up the domain name availability as you work on the name.

    You should do a lot of research regarding the most searched keyword in your niche marketing. A unique business name will not be effective if no one is searching for that name. You need to incorporate your chosen keywords in your business name. That will affect your rankings in the long run.

      that leads to the point of very rare keyword or name that no one even knows it exists. And the chance or percentage of getting it found is to low.

        Naming is a specialized skill, like copywriting, like programming, like graphic design.

        I've been hired to generate company names by a lot of entrepreneurs and professional marketers who were smart enough to recognize that they lacked talent in that arena, or had just plain run out of ideas.

        It's a good thing to have someone teaching young entrepreneurs who knows that it's not stupidity when you ask for help.
