Last month on the Blog Paws site Dawn Miklich asked it anyone was interested in participating in an exercise; 31 Days to a Better Blog. This exercise is actually based on a book of the same name written by Darren Rowse, who is a professional blogger. Check out his website here.
Of course I said yes, because really that is my goal in writing this blog. To become a professional writer.
The first task, is to write an elevator pitch. You know, in 200 words or less what you would say to someone you were trying to “sell” your blog to.
I have a hard time with this. I find it difficult to talk about myself or the things I’ve done. I think it’s because I’m afraid of sounding arrogant.
I call it tooting my own horn and I don’t care for it at all. So I struggled with my pitch, the truth is most things sound much better in my head than they do when I write them down.
So here’s what I came up with.
Life with Sampson and Delilah, the 411, is about my daily life with two dogs who are as opposite in personalities as any two dogs can be. l share the challenges and joy which come from living with and loving two very different dogs and all the crazy stories that come with it.
Whether you are looking for some light-hearted stories to make you smile, or something more serious like training tips you will find this blog has a little bit of everything. Come join me on this crazy ride called Life with Sampson and Delilah, the 411.
That’s it. I know it’s not right, but I’m not really sure what it needs. One of the comments was to tell a little bit about what makes Sampson and Delilah so different.
How’s this?
Two dogs. One calm, well-trained, easy-going male. One excitable, food-driven, impetuous female. And the dog mom who loves them both like crazy. Join me in my trials and triumphs as I balance life with Sampson and Delilah.
This is where I second guess myself, if I can’t even figure out how to make an elevator pitch, how in the world am I going to improve this blog?
