Which tagline/headline should I use for my web app?

Hi guys, I'm looking for a good headline title for my landing page, https://Comons.com

Summary of what it does: News and information content platform for creators, that let you follow all kind of topics, news sources, collections and people. Always Keep yourself up to date with

    Hi Jinxuetan,
    Cool home page. Can see that you have worked hard on the copy.
    Here are my thoughts based on first impression.
    Instead of targeting 'Personal & Professional' , 'Creator' and 'Startup & Business' in one go, have you considered building the user base one after the other?
    If I belong to any of these persona, I would love to see information tailored to my need.

    Suggestions,

    1. Target creators if that is the most important thing that will determine success of your project. IMO, if good creators are onboarded by giving any reason not to use existing platforms, you have cracked it. I think of good creators sign up and start using comons the content will attract more readers who stick on than anything else would.
      In the beginning it can even be a testing service for articles the creators wish to publish elsewhere. You can have 10 strong dedicated readers give feedback for creator to improve the content before publishing on medium, let's say. Some creators might be willing to pay for this too. (Need to validate)

    2. If the above is true, you can take away the marketing copy aimed at other persona to another landing page and focus on signing up creators in your super early phase. Another landing page can help you sign up readers, Startup & Business parallel.

      Really appreciate for the ideas. It's much easier to convert early users if targeting a niche market instead of broader one. Getting content that serve one specific niche can also easily drawn similar audience altogether and increase the stickiness of the product overall. Let me know if you think this is true as well.

        @Jinxuetan That is true. One book that talks about this and more in-depth is Getting Real by 37signals.

    Hi Jinxuetan, love the way your landing looks! Although I'm going to be a bit tough with the taglines. The question I ask myself is "What am I going to get from your product that will make me a better creator?" I don't see that any of the taglines answer that question for me. I don't know if the issue here is that you don't need to be a creator to be interested in news or there is something special about creators that is going to make them interested in your product.

      Thanks for your genuine feedback. I'm inspired by your "What am I going to get from your product that will make me a better creator?" I think this is a good point to start from. Thanks!
