"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I've been trying to come up with a 'creative' name for eBay. My current powerseller account is titled "discountonlinedirect", but with relaxed laws in Louisiana regarding selling items online I have decided to become more aggressive in finding people who need things sold for them. DiscountOnlineDirect is great when it's just me selling items I procure, but it doesn't really sound like a name people interested in giving me items to sell would associate with maximizing their income. There are already several major companies that sell items for people online, so I am going to have to come up with a way to steal their thunder.

The first order of business is a name. It needs to be brandable - something people will easily remember and be able to type in. It can't be something that already has a .com website - so, no "EasyAuctions.com", "SpeedySales.com", "ItSoldOnEbay.com", etc. All of these are great names, but they already have websites registered (you can check to see if a .com has been registered at www.register.com). If any of you has an idea for a website/business name that might be open and fits these criteria let me know. If yours is chosen, you'll get a prize of some sort.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Branding concept: Your logo is some variation on an animated race horse with a cheerful 'jockey' character riding it. The horse/jockey combo is designed to conjure imagery of speed, reliable delivery (think: the Pony Express), first place, extra money to be made. The jockey character serves as an animated spokesperson on your site. Does this make sense? If you'd like a more detailed description let me know.

The domain name is available (so are variations of it), and I think it's easy to remember. I also think using the branding concept I've suggested is very flexible and allows for you to expand on the theme quite easily.

Potential tag-line:

SALE JOCKEY
They buy it. We sell it. You profit.

One last thought... In the above tag line, would Ebay give you license to use their "it" logo, since that's the focus of their current marketing campaign? After all, you are generating revenue for them.
