    title feedback needed

    Discussion in 'Self-Publishing' started by amber DeAnn, Nov 27, 2017.

    Hi writer friends, I've written a self-help ebook on Success for the indie spirited, aged 20 - 60, who want more out of life. It's a practical, intuitive enhancing guide using interspective experiential tools to help you discover what you want out of life. Tools include feeling, journaling, Kundalini yoga.

    Cover design is string art (triangles shapes) with primary colors in background.



    I need your feedback on a title.

    Here are some suggested book titles —


    Success: A Guide to Rework Your Mindset

    Redefining Success: Unlock Your Authentic Self

    Lost Your Life: Deciding What You Want in Life

    Success: Deciding What You Want

    Success: Free Your Mindset- Free You

    Free Your Mindset - Free You


    Then please place a check after your age range.

    I’m trying to analysize how different age groups look

    at things.


    Age 20 - 40


    age 40 -60



    Thanks, I'll return the favor.

    Interesting literary work to follow. I would choose " Free Your Mindset - Free You" as a title.

    "Free Your Mindset - Free You" sounds the most catchy and marketable, but I don't like the "You" at the end. I think it should be reflexive, i.e. "Free Your Mindset - Free Yourself".

    Titles want to be short and punchy and also terms that people search for on amazon ... so I'd suggest "Free your mind" or "Success" something like that (I'm 44 btw)

    I agree with Mashers - I much prefer the rhythm of "free yourself", and I think it's more grammatically appropriate, too.

    Well, not seeing an age bracket for those beyond the choices, I'll use my feeble mind to choose -- Pick the Lock, Run Free.

    Or the bottom one. I would definitely run a search on all of them to see how close they are to other titles (as I'm sure you've done). Anyway ...

    My favorite: "Redefining Success: Unlock Your Authentic Self."

    I like this one because I think the word "success" could mean a lot of things to a lot of different people and this one let's the (potential) reader know that you're redefining it. That could intrigue me, whereas if I just see the word "success" I might just assume you're buying into a conventional definition of it.

    On an unrelated note, I'm 19, do I have to wait before reading? Also congratulations :)
