Photo-A-Day #1663
For the past few days I have been filling myself with knowledge from so many fantastic people. I had my bi-weekly coaching meeting with my life coach Kim Ann Curtin. we worked on some amazing ideas that have been boiling around in my head. Then I finally got a chance to chat with with Jim Kukral later in the week. I got even more excited and energized. Also for the past two days I have listened to the speakers from the Business Optimization Week series. Every one of those people have given me further fuel for the fire.
The first thing that I have actually done is create an e-mail list. This is for my soon to be released monthly newsletter to be called the BenSpark.com Behind the Lens Newsletter. This is something completely new. You can opt in right away to make sure that you do not miss the first ever Behind the Lens Newsletter.
I decided to go with iContact for my e-mail newsletter. I’m working out ways in which this works, a learning curve for me but one I’ll take at full speed. So sign up and be on the lookout for the 1st Behind the Lens Newsletter coming soon.
Another thing that I’ve already done with little fanfare is switch to Shuttercal to host my Photo-A-Day photos. I’ve been in talks with Scott from Shuttercal and will be partnering with them in the coming year. Some fantastic things ahead, if you sign up for the newsletter you’ll find out first as it is a bit of the Behind the Lens sort of stuff.
Sunds good ben, great to hear your busy doing things to your websites. Ive been visiting your website for a few months now and love every post you make.
keep the great work up !
Hi Sarah,
Always great to have someone who hasn’t commented before reveal themselves and let me know that they have been reading. I hope that you enjoy the newsletter too.
I signed up. funny we both started newsletters at the same time. I went with Mail Chimp. I noticed that you switched your pics to a different host. I am having the opposite issues I am feeling un-energized about blogging and can’t figure out why

Buck,
Thanks for signing up Buck. I have gotten renewed with some awesome ideas and now I need to implement them. So many things I want to do. I also have a guest post brewing for your blog Rules for my daughter. I think you might like it. Let’s chat sometime about blogging and see if we can energize each other.
I’ve also had a renewed energy around my blog/project lately. I know some of that came from great ideas at BlogWorld (it was nice to meet you there). Can’t wait to see what you feature in your newsletter.

Hi Aaron,
Great to meet you at blog world expo. I’ve got a few things up my sleeve and we’ll see how everything goes. I’ve got ideas and they are boiling over.
Great photo, makes me miss Fall. I think we skipped it here in Colorado and went straight to Winter.
.-= Look at what Natalie wrote blog ..That was horrifying!!! =-.
Natalie,
Thanks very much. No Fall? That stinks. Fall is one of my favorite seasons. Glad my photo could help you get into the fall season spirit.
