This is a short post – yes, but a powerful one. It involves a little bit of participation, so please don’t be shy...
A couple of weeks ago, I shared this little exercise on my Facebook Page.
I asked my followers to share a link to their website and describe it using only three words.
Any words, but only three.
After over 100 responses, I found that this simple sounding task was actually quite hard for some people, and in fact it made some rethink the entire concept of their websites and why it exists.
So today, I invite you to do the same. In the comment section, please only respond with three words that describe your site. Do not include a link in the comment section, because my spam filter might block you. Instead, put the link in the URL field under where your name goes.
3 words only. No URLs. Oh, and no hyphens either…sneaky people!
I won’t leave you with any more instructions, but here’s something to think about:
What three words will you choose that make you stand out from everyone else?
This is your “abridged elevator pitch”, so make it good.
Oh, and there will be something nice in store for the few that stand out to me the most. Be sure to leave your correct email address in the required field so I can contact you.
Lastly, I hope you’ll join me in celebrating the launch of The Smart Passive Income Podcast this coming Monday. I’ve been working hard setting everything up, but it’s finally here!
Cheers!

Hi Pat! I think this is a really good exercise and I really had to think about it. The name of my blog is called Another TwentySomething and the 3 words to describe it are:
Unlearning Status Quo
Multilingual Bible App
Entertaining Rap Tweets.
“Who Am I?”
Knowledge Is Power
Thanks!
Teachings from Oneness
Average Men Antidote
Reinforcing Dance Training
My Money Blog
Creative Dutch blogging
Dental Humor Collection
“Pain Prevention Expert”
Creating My Empire
Living with intent.
Thanks for sharing this Pat! Mine would be: “Build Your List”!
Time Management Ninja.
Hi Pat !
That’s a great mean to summarize what a website really is about, when it has evolved from the initial project.
Here are mine :
Simple Group Manager
Discover Confident Pricing
Pat,
Great post. Love the content you provide.
Here are my three words:
Online Wealth Recipes
Nationwide Mobile DJs
Talks For Yuppies
Sheesh how can you make through all these comments, congrats on the success.
“techsupport for entrepreneurs” … come on tech support is one word, you can just anchor text it!
Win back girlfriends. Yep.
Three words ~ wow, you sure do make it concise and to the point.
“Quality affordable transcription.”
I think that sums up my transcription service website pretty well. My other websites, I’ll have to think a little harder and come up with three words. Great thinking exercise!
Real Inventive Thinking
Fun vocabulary sentences.
This was a real challenge! My site is called Unleash Your Growth; my 3 words are Manifest Personal Growth
Beginner’s Makeup Effects
As boring as this response sounds, I think it sums up my site pretty accurately: Running for beginners.
Watercolors with attitude!
My site chronicles my journey along with my business partner in creating a 6-figure income and teaching other women and other women bloggers how to do the same. I will also document all the process of selling one of my sites.
I’d say that these 3 words describes it best:
Blogging For Bucks
Krizia
Videos I Make
Colorado Medical Marijuana
illusions of confused soul…………………:)
Personal change techniques.
(I actually rank on the front page of Google for “change techniques”. Pity not many people are looking for that…)
Collegiate Personal Finance
Just starting too
Im really excited! Just learned about your site from the podcast. It was really well put together and you had some great information, but what really brought me to your site was your values. Keep up the good work!
I can’t think of one…I have my own personal website and how do I define myself in “three” words!!
Mine is:
“Keep It HEF”
and HEF as in Healthy, Easy, Fun
KLATU BARADA NIKTO
Bipolar and Addiction
A constant challenge is saying what you want with as few words as possible. I challenge myself regularly with this. Great exercise!
Wow. This really does make me think about my site. Great post.
“Solo Improv Exploration”
Know your VoIP
I have found that this post and reader comments are rather important to my interests. Overall, this is a good site to hunt down posts on matters such as natural health. Can anyone here tell me where to locate more particular information on this subject, please? Thanks in advance!
Kick Ass Decals
Only The Best
This is a great exercise, especially considering I was in the process of creating a descriptive tagline to add to my site’s header.
Successful Bartending Guide
Better Digital Homes
Simple Cool Food
Demystifying Fitness
Music creativity recording
Fitness Made Simple
iPhone game development
Making green easy
saving the pennies
Superhero writing advice.
DIY Financial Planning
NO. MORE. TEMPLATES.
in English : Ecologically Dried Food
in French : Denrées alimentaires séchés
I wrote a little too fast so I think it will be better with :
in English : Cameroonian Positive Plants
in French : les Usines Positives du Cameroun
Truth or Dare
That was easy, I built my site with these 3 words in mind. It got broader but the main topic I am interested, are still these three words.
Nothing beats planing your website before you build it!
Cutest Animals Ever
Trading vintage watches.
Loving the site – what I’ve been reading so far, much more practical than others I’ve read. Kudos !
