What would you name my upcoming book? (Winner gets free stuff)

Leave yours...

How about "I Will Teach You to Get Published"...

:)

"It's easier than you think"

I think you already have a blockbuster best seller name on this blog.

I will teach you to be rich.

Good Luck with the book.

"You Will Learn to Be Rich"

Simple and affirmative

"A means to your own end"

You Too Can Be Rich, Just Like Me

Re: Indians and the extra $1:

The only explanation I have for this is in the context of wedding gifts: giving an odd number makes it harder for the couple to evenly split the gift and leave each other, so odd-numbered amounts symbolically reinforce the bond of marriage.

I can only assume that habit carried over into every other instance of giving money as a gift.

As for my title suggestion: "This Book Will Make You Rich"

Practically Rich - How being simple and unsexy can help you reach your financial goals.

I agree with Paula. You couldn't ask for a more perfect name than "I Will Teach You to Be Rich."

"I Will Teach You to Be Rich" is already a brand that is known to quite a few people, why wouldn't you want to capitalize on that brand recognition?!

It's PERFECT for a book title!

This Book Will Teach You to be Rich

Redefining Rich: a guide for Generation Y.

why: because your audience is young people; and I like your views on "what is rich" better than anything else. Make people think what it means for them to be rich, why they need the money in the first place.

I Will Teach You TO Be Rich: A Guide to Wealth with Common Sense

I believe you should stick with the obvious title to build your brand. Your book will be in front of people who have sadly never heard of "iwillteachyoutoberich.com" and this is a great opportunity to strengthen that brand.

More importantly, I personally look forward to a series: iwillteachyoutoberich Volume 1 and so on.

Keep up the great work!

"How to Kick Financial Ass"

Shortcuts on the Path to Riches

You've discussed the notion of using targeted questions / declarations to get a targeted response....so use that same approach to title the book. I know that when it comes to finance a clear and specific title helps me decide whether I will buy the book...

"Learn to be Rich: The Complete Financial How-To Guide for the Young Adult"

From what you've mentioned about your book the main selling points are that it is very "how-to" or "nuts and bolts" oriented, and it is gear specifically for the young adult starting on their financial path...at least that's what I'm hoping for...

Next time, decide to give $99 so that, following Indian customs, you'll give a round $100.

That will be my tip of the week to save $1 here and there!

"How to become rich"

HOW ABOUT "HOW TO BECOME FILTHY RICH, AND REALLY CLEAN UP!"

"Rich Ideas to get Rich"

I don't know why you'd change it--you already have a brand name, why dissociate yourself from it? Besides, it lends itself to sequels: I will teach you to be richer, I will teach you to be even richer, etc.

Subtitles seem to be in vogue, though, so perhaps "I Will Teach You To Be Rich: It's Easier Than You Think."

'Personal financing for the common people'

"Read Me To Be Rich"

A few thoughts:

1. You crack me up with that $1 comment. ;-)

2. I'd name the book the same as the blog.

3. I'd work on several subtitles that explain what the book is about, pick the top four, and run a survey to see which people like best.

4. Think about who your audience is. It's likely that the people who read your blog will NOT be buyers of your book. It's more likely that newbies to the world of maney management will be more likely to buy the book. Hence, when you do #3 above, be sure to get this group involved somehow. (BTW, this is speculation, but the reasoning seems sound to me.)

5. When you get the book done, let me know. I'll review it and be willing to help you promote it as I know it will be quality content.

Take all of the suggestions above, and plug them into adsense. For each of the top 10 titles that are already getting hits (adsense tells you what is most popular, and most expensive, already), put $50 into adsense ads.

For each of the title-based ads, have them link to page on your blog, with a parameter that indicates which ad they came from. This can be done via separate but identical pages, or by using GET parameters. Finally, with all of this in place, after one month you can obtain the following data:

-Which titles were clicked on the most, as ads

-Which titles lead to the most submitted email addresses (an indication that someone would be willing to purchase)

-Which titles lead to the most email addresses per advertisement click.

Don't pick your title based on what sounds best to you, unless you're trying to protect some sort of artistic vision. Don't pick what people recommend. Pick what people are willing to buy.

"You Will Read This Book"

How about "You Know You Want It"

You Will Read Me To Be Rich

or simply "Read Me To Be Rich"

I wonder if the word "rich" will give people the wrong idea. I think that when people see a book that promises to make them rich, they believe that they'll wake up one day to find huge bags of cash have been delivered to their house.

In other words, they want to get rich so they can change their lifestyle, instead of changing their lifestyle so they can get rich.

But hey, name it whatever you want, it'll still be a good book.

Hi,

Ah, yes the extra $1! I've heard adding the extra $1 will help to bring luck!

I like the title " I will teach you to be rich" most of all. But for another option maybe"Learn to be rich: How I did it and you can to".

Here are some of my ideas:

GET RICH!

I will teach you, the rest is up to you.

Get Rich By Yourself,

I will teach you.

You Can Be Rich.

I will teach you, if you will listen.

Knock, Knock.

I am here to teach you to be rich.

I think you've got the idea. The titles and subtitles can be combined in any way. You can also use only the title,.. and so on.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the book whatever the title will be.

I came with these

1.It’s never too late to learn to be rich

2.You too can learn to be rich

3.Make your money grow like mine

4.Learn to accumulate wealth no matter what….

Wish you all the best with your book!!

Dude, Ruth, that's pretty good! Way better than anything else I read. I might change it slightly, to "Personal Finance for the Rest of Us", or something kin to that, to use an Indian word :D

"How to sleep at night"

"Debt and finding financial freedom"

"Debt, choices, and happiness"

"The Get Rich Pitch"

Hi Ramit,

I'm brand new to your blog. I really enjoy the content, but I think the title doesn't really do it justice. Your blog offers much sounder advice and food for thought than those "get rich quick" schemes out there. It's clearly about much more than amassing money. How about something like "Get Enriched Quick" as a title for your book? (a subtitle might be "... and wealth may follow").

My suggestion:

"Learning to be Rich"

Ramit:

You need a title and a tagline. Here are my three swags at it:

#1:

Young, Fabulous... and Rich

How young people are getting really rich, and staying that way.

#2:

Young Money

How young people are getting really rich, and staying that way.

#3:

Generation $

How young people are getting really rich, and staying that way.

The first two use the tactic of mental association with other financial products (Suze' Ormans book and Cramer's Mad Money), sort of like 7up did with their un-cola campaign.

The third one is more original. The word "generation" automatically evoques an association with young people, and the combination with the $ sign is catchy and easy to remember.

Another tagline could be:

How young people are using their unfair advantage to get rich...and stay rich.

Good luck!!

Mario.

But really, I second "I Will Teach You To Be Rich". If that wins, does that mean there will be no winners? Or is the prize split among those of us who agreed with the title? :oP :o)

If not IWTYTBR, I think something related to your themes, which are a bit broader than just personal finance, since you use "rich" in a broader sense and the ultimate purpose is to accomplish goals or live a happy life. Like... Getting Rich, Accomplishing Goals... but not as square sounding. I like the ass-kicking Amberlynn mentioned earlier. Kicking Ass to Financial Success? Or if that's not "appropriate", then Laying the Smackdown on Personal Finance.... or... not....

Indian accents are sexy, and so is being rich.

The title you have is good but kind of blends in with so many others for me. I'd like a title like:

If Rich is Where You Want to Be...........

..................Start and Finish Here

(The "do" and "don'ts" of reaching your financial goals)!

I agree you should keep the site name as the main title in order to build brand equity.

Main Title: I Will Teach You To Be Rich

Subtitle: Simple Steps For Anyone to Reach Financial Freedom

You know I remember one post you made when you questioned why people want to get rich. I hope you definitely raise the question in the book as well. For some people it's about some kind of artificial ego boost, but for many of us, it's to alleviate the burdens of having to make decisions based on finances- which a lot of the time is just the result poor planning and preparation.

The subtitle could also be something like "Don't Let Money Control Your Life", "Don't Let Money Cramp Your Style", or "Don't Let Money Make Your Decisions".

It's all about keeping the personal dreams alive, to me anyways.

I will teach you to be rich sounds kind of gimmicky and would make me skeptical if I didn't know about your site. "Why we want you to be rich "- Kiyosaki and Trump (or Douche 1 and Douche 2) is a good example. Anything with Rich in the title kind of turns me off instantly, and makes me think, "Oh boy, what kind of bullshit is this guy selling, waste of time. More like I will teach you to make me rich (props to commenter Ben). If he had all the secrets he wouldn't put them in a book. He'd be getting a rub down on his private island trying to figure out if he wants to build the bonfire tonight out of twenties or hundreds".

The people that do know about your site are going to know what the title of the book is even if it isn't named after the blog (unless you don't tell us, which I doubt, you shameless self-promoter you). It's the people that don't know about the site that I'm assuming you would want to "grab" with the title. And I personally will look at something funny usually, with an eye catching cover (don't put a stock chart on it, please for the love of god). Yes, I admit that I am not that sophisticated, contrary to popular belief, and can be easily tricked by clever titles and eye candy for a cover (into glancing at the book at least). I doubt anyone will read all of my post (kudos if you made it this far). I barely remember typing this short novel.

So you want to be rich, I will teach you to be rich.

I think something like "The Common Sense Guide to your Personal Finance" with a secondary title of "How I Will Teach You To Be Rich" would be more appealing to the average reader coming acroos your book in a store.

Its kinda a long title, but something like this would work best: "The Common Sense Guide to your Personal Finance: How I Will Teach You To Be Rich"

Not having read any exerpts from your book in order to get a feel for it, I offer the following possible titles:

"$ecret $$$ $trategie$"

"Financial Ba$ic Training"

"Are You Listening?"

All of this wouldn't work if everybody were applied those guidelines, this is all about information share. That's why my suggestion is :

I Will Teach To Be Rich.

-------------------Do not tell them

(Perhaps there're mistakes because I'm not a native english speaker, but I think you catched the idea)

Of course you should read :

(Btw I think a preview comment option on this site would be definitively cool !!)

man, everything i thought of is here, will come back after some thinking.

i agree with whoever said iwillteachyoutoberich doesn't fully encompass everything the blog has to offer, is this the case for the book as well?

how about this: instead of promoting a method to get somewhere, which every book title tries to do, you could point out that you're offering a way to remove ONE (or a couple or more) of people's most frequent sources of worry/unhappiness from their shit-i-dont-like pile. Even include a little whiteboard drawing about a guy removing money as a factor in unhappiness/worry

Ramit Sethi's guide to getting "rich": Common sense rules of finance that society forgot to teach you.

Subtitle: "I will teach you to be rich without giving up your $4 lattes"

Note: I put the word rich in quotes because unless I'm misreading some of your articles, I get the feeling that this site is to teach you how to live within your means and not spend money just because you have it to spend. Financial security will give you sense of be "rich" because having money in the bank that's not owed to someone else is very empowering.

If you just call the book "I will teach you to be rich" I think a number of people would just pass over it, because those people probably already wasted their money on "rich dad, poor dad" and didn't get a lot of good advice, but they did make that author RICH!

$$ NIRVANA $$

or

Money Nirvana

Nirvana is a Sanskrit word which means "enlightenment", but a Google search would give you more information, because it has quite a depth of meaning. Hey its a little twist on your Indian roots and the quest for $ contentment!

I agree with some othrs - you have got to protect the 'brand.' :)

Good luck!

I agree with the "IWillTeachYouToBeRich: Subtitle" idea. This also leaves room for a series, as Matt suggested. I like Amberlynn's idea: "IWillTeachYouToBeRich: How to Kick Financial Ass." The next book could be "IWillTeachYouToBeRich: Stupid Frat Boy Ideas and Other Dumb Mistakes," as Sean Blanda said.

I think your personality should be in the title. That's what makes me read your blog. I don't want a boring or generic title.

Few names suggested as..

1) (Money)Square .

I dont know how to put 2 as power hence written as square.

2) Money Works 4 u

3) I love $

4) Money buys Money

5) Million 2 Billion

Best luck

Get Rich the Right Way: Avoid Common Financial Non-sense

"Learn and Grow Rich"

With apologies to Napolean Hill

First, I should tell you that I didn't actually read the 200 comments that have already been posted, so I apologize if someone has already mentioned this...

That being said, I was thinking about your plight today while I was out and about at the mall and I decided to walk into one of the bookstores and head to the business/investing section. A quick investigation of the section revealed that approximately 1 in 3 books have titles/subtitles that contain the word "rich." Before my trip today, I was thinking that you'd be asinine not to utilize the brand recognition that "I Will Teach You To Be Rich" has, but now I'm not so sure. I think giving your book that title won't allow it to stand out at all.

My suggestion: think about what your book has to offer that all of the other books out there don't and emphasize it with your title. While most of those books are crap, there are still a fair number of books on the subject that are quite worthwhile for the new/inexperienced investor (your target market). What does your book tell me that those don't? Are you just rehashing the same old information or are you bringing something new to the conversation? That's your selling point; use it in your title.

If all else fails, just use a synonym for the word rich. My personal favorite: "Achieving Affluence: How Responsible InvestingToday Leads To Your Dreams of Tomorrow."

I Will Teach You To Be Rich: Are You Ready?

I will Teach You To Be Rich: What You Need to Know

I Will Teach You To Be Rich: The Smart Way

I Will Teach You To Be Rich: The Fight For Change

I Will Teach You To Be Rich: Uncovering the Mystery

I Will Teach You To Be Rich: A Surprising Story

I Will Teach You To Be Rich: The Journey

I Will Teach You To Be Rich: Want To Know?

Any time I see a book with the word rich in the title I automatically steer clear because of all the scams out there. Given that, here are my suggestions.

1. The Do It Yourself Guide to Financial Independance

2. Financial Independance: Letting Your Money Work For You

3. The Young Person's Guide to Money and Why it Matters

4. What the Wealthy Don't Want You to Know: Secrets to Financial Freedom

What is in the book can talk all day long about being rich, but in todays scam filled world, one needs to choose his words carefully if one is to sell a book.

The Bottom Line

Sexy AND Rich:

Once you know the difference, you can be both.

So you want to be rich!

I will teach you.

so you want to be Rich!

Wow, I couldn't read through the volume of previous posts, so I apologize if its alread been posted.

My vote would be something like: I Will Teach You To Be Rich: A Guide to Kicking Ass in Personal Finance

As far as the $101 dollar thing, I'm Indian...my parents always said that it was because the first $100 was the gift, and the additional $1 was a good luck omen for additional money the gift recipient was to get in the future. Just from somewhere else, not from us :)

"Where money matters?"

The title of your book can be - "Let's be Rich!"

Title: "Not Just Another Get Rich Quick Book"

Hello,

I have a great idea for the title. How much are you willing to pay for it?

"Get Rich the PB Way"

I will teach you to be rich...the PB way!

Hi,

Although I think you should go with the obvious, "I will teach you to be rich". I ALWAYS hoped someone would write a book called

"So you got a little money...Now what?"

Making your money work harder for you.

I think most people that follow your site have some kind of money saved up or are pretty savvy, we'd just like to know how to be savvier.

Creating Wealth: How Boring!

Subtitle: The exciting ways lead to risk and/or disaster. Here are the boring ways, presented in a non-boring way.

Rich people are not just born... some are taught!

"Allow Yourself To Be Rich;" from the creator of iwillteachyoutoberich.com

Becoming rich isn't about what you can teach them, it is about what someone will allow themselves to learn. Most often oneself is whats keeping them from learning to be rich.

You heard it here first.

Are You Rich?

Simple enough, if I walked by a book and seen a title like this, I would pick it up to see what it is about. The title needs you to be curious, NOT too much info. Last I heard there are only 20% of Americans that read books. That is very sad, so make the title "GRAB" you.

Are You Rich?

Well, Are You?

Many of the suggestions sound like cheap, get rich quick scam books. I would agree that "I Will Teach You To Be Rich" is probably the safest and smartest way to go. Something that I did thing of.

"How Being Boring Will Make You Rich" or something along that line. This isn't exactly the wording I would want, but I think that you can get the point.

"Read This & Get Rich"

Step 1: Steal underpants...

Step 2: ?

Step 3: Profit!

Just kidding about the steps...but seriously, I think "Read This & Get Rich" is simple enough and it works... If I saw it on the shelf, I'd want to know "what's in there that's so simple?"

I haven't read all the comments so these ideas might be here all ready but what about:

"The simple nature of personal finance"

"The art of becoming rich"

"Be rich. Now!"

To Be or Not to Be ...RICH

This is my suggestion.

Shouldn't we know what your book is about before we try to title it? Does it lean more towards career enhancement, negotiation, recruitment or personal finance motivation? Is it funny or serious? A how to or a memoir? Is your target audience still twenty somethings or the Money Magazine audience? And is your face going to be on the cover?

Personally if it covers website topics and if your are trying to appeal to 20-somethings, I like:

Give me fifteen dollars and I WILL TEACH YOU TO BE RICH

I vote for putting your face on the cover as long as you're wearing something outrageous.

I would call the book Rich Life Lessons because if its really helpful it will give you information to pass on as well as get rich with.

Time To Get Rich

Itch'n to be Rich'n

I would call it "Learn to Be Rich." Personally I think, "I will teach you" is sort of like my students papers that begin "in this paper we will talk about 1,2,3." (we teach them not to do this.) I think the suggestion is short and to the point. "I will teach you" is still implied. I hope you sell many, many books no matter what you decide!

Rags to Riches- Biatches!

What about "Take Control of your Future: a smart way to earn money"

It catches the attention by working on the feelings of security, an it also appeals to the "lgocal" thinking crowd. Some may see the words "get rich" and think it's a scam.

It's always good to think of a title that will peak the interest of your readers and work on their feelings.

Hope this helps.

May your book be a blessing of wealth to those who read it and cause a cross-country financial revival for those who truly need it.

Who took my $

----

And the reason behind adding 1 after 100 are:

1. It is a belief that having Zero in the last will make the blessings void and would not be auspicious. So we add 1 more to it.

2. I think that adding Just 1 more, make the figure more special. Like 101, means more than 100. The receiver thinks, he got more.

It is opposite of "The strategy and tactics of Pricing" who sell any product for $99.95 where buyer thinks he paid less.

In both cases, it is adding psychological value to the amount, no matter how small. Money is Money.

Tagline: "The street Wall Street doesn't want you to see."

A play on the brilliant book "A Random Walk Down Wall Street."

I Will Teach You to Be Rich: Wealth 2.0

It carries your brand, nods to both the web where you got your start and the web2.0 generation that you are a part of. Also, Wealth 2.0, as Web 2.0, has a different meaning than wealth in the money hungry days of the 90's and dot-bomb era. So Wealth 2.0 has a more emotional connection, a fuller meaning than just "money", credits and debits etc. It's about choices and the freedoms having a balanced budget and planned savings gives one.

Anyway, that's my .02. Hope it helps!

Love your blog, btw. Good luck.
