Day 1 -31DBBB – Write an Elevator Pitch

3 Comments

Today’s task in the 31 Days to Build a Better Blog Challenge is to write an elevator pitch for your blog.

I’ve always had a tagline for this blog that went “Everyday Photos… Every… Day…” This blog is my blog about my life. But it is very much about my daily photos. I’ve come a long way from naming each photo post with just the photo-a-day and a number. That got pretty boring after a while so now I try and give each one some sort of title. So I think I’ve come a long way with this blog. While I will be doing the challenge with this blog I will also be doing it on my other one Read To Me, Dad. RTMD has the potential to be an incredible blog so I really want to work on that one. You can follow my progress in these posts.

By the way my elevator pitch for BenSpark.com is this:

“Everyday Photos… Every… Day… BenSpark.com is about my life through photography. Each image is a gateway to a story about my daily life. Occasionally funny, inspiring, interesting or creative BenSpark.com is real life in photos. With over 1400 consecutive days and five different cameras BenSpark.com has documented images from the mundane to the amazing.“

Photo-A-Day #1458

I’m staring down another year, why are the multiples of 5 always so significant? It is weird since most of the time we do things in 4s. $ years of college, 4 years of high school and things like that. But 5s are important for anniversaries and other meaningful dates. Well, I’ll be 35 on Thursday and I’ll be starting year #5 of my photo-a-day project. This year will be a significant one because I’m really going to try and learn as much as I can to make my photography the best it can be. Notice to the left of me there is a large stack of items. You might recall those items from the 1st of the year. The stack has gotten smaller but I still have a ways to go. Oh and I am wearing one of my TenBills shirts. These certainly are comfy.

Oh and my FortunateBluFrog Fortune of the day was another repeat. I think I’m going to have to use that online fortune cookie again so I can get a decent fortune. Must get sleep.
