Got an idea for a product but can’t think of a catchy name?

Try NameThis. NameThis is designed to provide a quick and painless way for innovators to find a market-ready name for their company, product or service. Those with a thing in need of a name begin by posting a request for help and paying USD 99. Members of the community then have 48 hours to suggest names and/or invest points in their favourites.

At the end of the 48 hours, NameThis’s system “does some fancy math” and picks three winners. Of the fee paid by the thing’s owner, USD 80 is distributed to those who contributed to the winners: USD 40 goes to the person who picked the first-place name, while USD 10 is shared amongst the influencers on that name; USD 16 goes to the second-place namer, while USD 4 is shared among the influencers on that one; and USD 8 goes to the individual who picked the third-place name, with USD 2 shared among influencers.

And if you’re good at coming up with great names for stuff, why not go and earn a few quid/dollars by suggesting names? (Hey, I think I’ll have a go…)

Well someone had to do it!

Welcome to the Scanner Blog where I will be posting stuff of interest to Scanners here - tips on creativity, productivity (for right-brained people), how to choose between and run multiple projects and how to implement your ideas as quickly as possible. Oh and how to make money out of them!
