I read an article last week (wish I could find the link) about revamping your online presence. It was clearly geared towards recent college grads who perhaps had blogs, Facebook profiles, and Twitter accounts filled with unsavory photos or other items which might be frowned upon out in The Real World.
But, the idea did get me thinking…is it time to kill off Snarkwife? I mean, it’s been five years. Well, okay…four. Can’t forget the House of Snark year.
Rebranding yourself on the Internettywebs involves more than just a catchy new domain, though. Case in point: Stratechick. Boy was THAT a valuable real-life marketing lesson. I launched a brand (if you will) before determining exactly what it was and what it was going to offer. And then I totally blew it by picking a name I had to explain to people: No, no…stratechick…like strategic. Not like straight chick.
The problem now? Some other Stacy Lynch has already taken the most obvious domain choice. And, she’d like to sell you a house in the Chesapeake Bay area. Since I am a marketing department of one, I consider my readers and friends to be a pretty good staff when it comes to the management of a little product called…me. Help me brainstorm. Domains? Monikers?

Ummmm…Sabu and the Pseudo Mercedes? Ha!

No more snarkwife? Say it ain’t so! And yes, I’m one of the ones that continuously read it as “straight chick.” What about Casa de Lynch, which you already use for an email address?

I would second your thought on having a direction first – it makes the marketing so much more effective.
But… since we’re playing games…. Ooh! Ooh! I wanna play!!

I’m glad I’m not the only one who didn’t get “strategic” out of the name.
I loke lynchpin or lynchmob too. But I agree with Kevin-have a direction first. You already know that “throbbingmattresskitten” is not the best ID to use for a job application, so if you are
whoringmarketing yourself, then something a little more “grown up” but catchy is best.Manic Witch´s last blog ..I’m such a hypocrite

NOW you tell me…strategic, huh? Didn’t get that…
But Snarkwife has to stay! It’s so YOU! YOU are the only snarkwife out there!
Killing her off would lose some of your…snarkiness!
