Offbeat News Identity Crisis : Request for Suggestions
I Need to Come Up with a New Name for Offbeat News
Try as hard as I can, I have found it hard to get my Offbeat News articles noticed as much as I would like, and so I think it's time that I found a new identity for these articles, a new way to get noticed, a title that nobody else is using.
The problem is - I can't think of one, and so I thought it might not be a bad idea to request the help of you, my friends and treasured readers, to assist me in coming up with some good ideas for a title and a theme for this weekly article.
A lot of obvious names have already been used by the media, including Offbeat News, and I would like to find something original and witty, so that people searching for MY articles will have a better chance of finding them.
Other names that are already in use are:
Weird News
Odd But True
News Of The Weird
Oddly Enough
And so I have to try and find a name that it completely original.
If you think you can help me, please add a comment to this article, so I have the suggestions all in one place.
If I do choose a title from one of the suggestions, I will be sure to add a link to the person who suggested it in each of the Offbeat News articles.
So now I sit and wait, and hope....

Post a CommentWell done - hopefully you will come up with a catchy title.
This ain't your gradma's news! :) Sorry, that's all I got.
How about "Payne Tells you the 'Strange But True' " cheers
How bout, "outside the frame with tony payne" LOL
This is another great story, love your articles.
Unbelievably weird news? Clips of insane news? If I were you, I would think how YOU would 'google' information about weird news and then work that into your title. "Tony's weird news report"???
I kind of like "Tony's Weird Wednesday Report" in a way, thanks Rita. Rewards4Life has got me thinking though, since I can be found all over the net if you search for "Poddys". Thanks for that thought David. I just thought maybe "Poddys Unbelievable News" might work. I like a lot of the ideas really and really appreciate the helping hand. Think I need to sleep on it a bit further.
Good question, Tony! Here's my answer for you: One-Off
Nutzy News.
Wow, you've got some great suggestions going.
