Welcome to Day #1 of the 31 Days to Build a Better Blog Challenge. As on each day of this project today I’d like to present you with two things:
- Some Teaching/Theory
- A Task to go away and Do
Teaching
Today’s task (outlined in full below) is to develop an Elevator Pitch for your Blog. Let me explain why.
What is an Elevator Pitch?
“An elevator pitch is an overview of an idea for a product, service, or project. The name reflects the fact that an elevator pitch can be delivered in the time span of an elevator ride (for example, thirty seconds or 100-150 words).” – Wikipedia
Many business and self improvement type courses teach students to develop an elevator pitch for their business (and even for themselves). The idea is to have something short and sharp that you can say about yourself when the opportunity arises instead of bumbling your way through explaining what you or your business does (and miss an opportunity).
The goal is both to communicate what you do and to get the person you’re communicating it to to want to know more.
Elevator Pitches for Bloggers
While the idea of an elevator pitch is usually something that start up entrepreneurs are encouraged to do when looking for investors – developing an elevator pitch for your blog is also a smart move also.
One of the most important reasons to do this exercise is that to develop an elevator pitch YOU as a blogger to have thought through and crystallised in your mind what your blog is about.
If you’re fuzzy on what your blog is about it’s unlikely than anyone else will have much of an idea either.
Knowing what your blog is about helps you in developing every aspect of it including:
- Writing Content
- Promotion and Finding Readers
- Search Engine Optimisation
- Networking with other Bloggers
- Branding
- Design…. the list can go on.
In fact almost every task that we’ll be doing in this next 31 days should flow from this task.
Other Reasons for Developing an Elevator Pitch
Of course coming up with an elevator pitch is not just for your own benefit. Once you’ve got one it is brilliant for communicating what your blog is about to readers (both the ones you already have and potential ones), other bloggers, potential partners, media/journalists, advertisers and even to friends and family members who might not get what you’re doing.
Once you’ve got your blogs elevator pitch there’s no limit to the places and situations that you can use it (either part of it or in its entirety). Here are a few that come to mind:
- Your blogs tag line – having a short, sharp and descriptive ‘tag line’ for your blog can be a powerful technique for quickly communicating to new readers to your blog what it is all about. Readers who don’t get a sense for what your blog is about are in danger of leaving quickly – so a tagline that is displayed prominently on your blog can be a great way to hook them in.
- Your about page – the about page of a blog (if you have one) is one of the most read pages of a blog by first time visitors. It is an ideal place to communicate what you’re about and to ‘sell’ to potential readers why they should subscribe and come back.
- Real Life Conversation – whether it be at a conference, in business interactions or just in everyday conversation, the topic of your blog is likely to come up from time to time and these interactions can be an ideal moment to pull out the elevator pitch to describe what your blog is about.
- Business Cards – I get a lot of business cards given to me at conferences and to be honest at the end of the day I can’t remember who gave me most of them. Adding an elevator pitch to a card can help trigger who you are and what you do in the mind of those you chat with at these busy types of events.
- Pitching to Media – One of the things I’ve noticed about many journalists is that they’re very busy people who are constantly being pitched with ideas for stories. Having a thought through and effective ‘pitch’ can help you get noticed and give a journalist a reason to listen to what you’ve got to say.
- Pitching to Other Bloggers – Similarly, I find that if I’m being ‘pitched’ to as a blogger that I take more notice if the person pitching to me gives me a brief insight into who they are and what they do.
- Email Signature – many people have links to their blogs in their emails, but a link can be somewhat meaningless on its own. Why not add your elevator pitch? Similarly signatures in forums can be a good place to have a short description of what you do to motivate people to check you out further.
- Social Media Profiles – the same thing goes for all those social media profiles that you have. Why not use them to not only point people to your blog but to give them a reason to go there!
Where else would you use an elevator pitch? I’m sure there are so many more times to pull them out! Feel free to share other places you’ll be using yours.
Your Task for Today
Take some time out today to develop an elevator pitch for your blog. If you’ve already got one take a few minutes to review and refine it.
How to Write an Elevator Pitch for Your Blog
I’m sure there has been much written on the topic online but here’s some starting points that I use when doing this type of thing.
- Solve a Problem or Need – I’m a big believer in developing blogs that fulfil real needs and solve problems that people have. The problem need not be a big one (like World Peace) but you should be attempting to create something that people need on some level. Communicate this in your elevator pitch.
- Define Your Audience – who is your blog for? Who are you attempting to attract? IF your blog is targeting a certain demographic or type of person (and it may or may not) – include this in your pitch. If your blog is for teens, don’t develop a pitch for grandparents – target the reader you want.
- Be Clear – don’t leave people second guessing what you mean or interpreting jargon – make your elevator pitch crystal clear.
- Keep it Short – People have limited attention spans and capacity to absorb lots of information. Get to the point, eliminate unnecessary words and make it punchy!
- Stand Out – be willing to use humour or powerful imagery to grab the attention of those that hear your elevator pitch.
- Be Intriguing – your elevator pitch is unlikely to ‘convert’ people to read your blog all on its own – but it should entice them to learn more. You don’t need to say everything in it – but attempt to write something that is still in the mind of those who hear it long afterwards.
- Be Energetic but not Hyped – you convey more than just dry information when describing your blog – but you also convey what YOU feel about it. This is important – if you ‘pitch’ someone with language and a voice that is dry and uninspired you’re unlikely to convert anyone into a reader. Show people that you love what you’re doing, that you’re passionate and that you care about your topic. But don’t go too far and hype it up beyond what it is!
- Consider Using a Question – people are wired to answer and engage with questions. Ask them, even just rhetorical ones, in your pitch and you’ll hook people in.
- Be Ready to Expand Upon Your Pitch – at a recent conference I had someone come up and give me what seemed like an elevator pitch about their blog. It worked really well, they got me interested – so interested that I asked them to tell me more. The problem was that they didn’t really have much else to say about their blog. See an elevator pitch as a conversation opener – something designed to lead into further interaction with people. You don’t have to say it all in your initial pitch – but you should be ready to say more if people are interested.
These are just the thoughts that come to my mind on elevator pitches (what would you add?). Not everyone will be able to incorporate all of the above points but I hope that some of it will help you to develop yours.
My Elevator Pitch
I have a couple of elevator pitches my blog here at ProBlogger. One’s short (just 6 words) and one’s a little longer (a minute or so). I use one or the other of them depending upon the circumstances and opportunity to share.
My short one is very simple – ‘ProBlogger helps Bloggers Build Exceptional Blogs’. I’ve used others over the life of this blog (and continue to evolve it) but have settled on this one for the time being because it is so simple, to the point and clear.
The longer version expands upon this and shares some of the ways that the blog helps bloggers improve their blogs by talking through a few of the main topics I cover.
Write Your Elevator Pitch
Once you’ve got an elevator pitch for your blog write or print it out and put it somewhere near your computer so that as you blog you can be reminded of it. You might also like to start to incorporate it into your blog as a tagline or in your about page – or even to write a post about it on your blog to communicate to your readers what you’re on about (the appropriateness of writing it as a post will of course vary from blog to blog).
Once you’ve done that – feel free to share what you’ve come up with in comments below. I’m looking forward to reading yours.

Hi
My elevator pitch is: Let’s Encourage Each Other!
Thank you.
Darren, here’s my Elevator Pitch:
I use my name to build my brand–not my ego. Every byline is an investment… a personal chit that helps earn respect and trust.
My blog, Jack Rawlins’ “How to Write Humor,” can help anyone write material designed to amuse and earn laughs, chuckles, and smiles—and sometimes dollars, too. To do the job, I mine the collective wisdom and expertise of both amateur and professionals, and offer some examples of my own material that reviewers think are pretty darn funny.
Jack
OK, this is absolutely my first attempt at a pitch. I’ve never been good at the mission statement/tag line approach to things. I guess that’s one of the main reasons that I signed up for this course! Here’s what I came up with, I’d love to hear some feed back!
“Modern portraits for classic memories”
Thanks guys!
My Blog’s Elevator Pitch:
I am a Sales and Marketing maven, diving into the deep end of social media networking, who also happens to spotlights as a Liquid Pool Cover Expert. I know you need to know more!
http://moniquenelson.wordpress.com
Hi Darren,
Nice post. Really its very useful for newbies. Elevator Pitch of my site is
EquityPandit.com- The Stock Market Advisors. Only for people who care about their hard earned money.
EquityPandit.com- The Stock Market Advisors. No recession for intelligent people.
I actually have two pitches, depending on who I’m talking to.
BizzieMommy.com is about a tech junkies journey to finding passion and financial freedom while balancing motherhood and just plain old life.
BizzieMommy.com offers support, advice, and motivation to working mothers who are transitioning into mom entrepreneurs.
Great start to the 31 days! I hope my tagline gives enough of an elevator pitch –
Lush living with thrift
Sack Mike Goldberg makes fun of bad MMA and UFC broadcasting, journalism, and media like they’re the fat kids with sweatpants.
I’ve been wanting to take my blog up a notch for a while now. I’ve been blogging for over two years and I need lots of help! I’m so glad I stumbled here. I know I have lots of hurdles ahead of me. I can’t wait to confront them all.
Tagline: Mountain Mama–Life, Creativity, Inspiration
Pitch–From PB&J to Wedding Dresses, Paper Planes to Handknit Lace, I find moments throughout the day to create. Maybe What I Made will inspire you to create as well.
Well, I’m kind of lost down here at #812, but I’ll share anyway.
I’ve gone with this as my elevator pitch:
“I’m Just Sharing is about internet marketing and communications. I discuss issues and studies about affiliate marketing products and companies, as well as communications issues such as writing, blogging, and social media.”
That’s about it.
This is great information! With this practice step each day, it is not only more clearly understood but carrying out the task puts it into action and is retained more effectively.
Will start with this right away. Thanks for lesson no.1
I reworked the blog description to “Life and Glass Fusing from Deep in the Heart of Texas.”
Hmmm, this ended up proving tougher than I’d thought. Don’t know if that’s a reflection on me or my blog!
Fog of Eternity – Find design resources that inspire you, and learn the skills to implement that inspiration.
Darren,
My blog is titled “Bridges To Knowledge” and the tag line I have been using is “Reflections on sharing knowledge and collaborating in our diverse, virtual world.” Based on your input, I am thinking of changing the beginning of this to read “Ideas for” or “New practices for” in order to make the tag line more appealing to practitioners and managers looking to make improvements in their organizations.
Great first exercise!
I’m a little behind, but I finally think I’ve finished my elevator pitch. I’m so excited to improve my blog and give it more focus. I have a relatively new blog for writers called Write Out Loud. I came up with a new tagline: “Your words can speak volumes…but only if you write them, and write them well.” and wrote my elevator pitch to go along with it. I’ll be updating my About page to reflect the new message and focus of the blog. Can’t wait to work on more of these tasks!
My first blog: http://www.lindylou-abbott.blogspot.com
Elevator Pitch #1
New tag:
Walking Through Womanhood, Hand in Hand with My King!
New comment –
Have ever wondered what being a Christian might be like? What would you have to sacrifice? What benefits would you receive? How would live your days? What impact would being a Christian have on your current life, if you really applied Biblical truths, and gave God a chance to give you a new life. In reading this blog, you will experience posts written with love and laughter that show the joys and sorrows of one woman’s life changing as she walks by faith, believing Jehovah-God, the God spoken of in the Holy Bible.
As God delights in both dreams and truth, she is a visionary dreamer, and also a solid factual, realist. This blog journals through a life of a young lady horrifically abused as a child, who is now a wonderful woman. She is a wife of 25 years and a mother of three teens, and she is aiming to receive all the freedom possible in being a Biblical be liver in Jesus as her Lord and Savior. This blog, Lindylou-abbott, is based on her true-life experiences.
YEAH!!!!!! How is that? Yes, I want comments, suggestions, but be kind (: I have a soft spot in me. (:
OK, now to my other blog, http://www.Abuseandtrauma-hope.blogpot.com
New Tag:
“Hope and Healing from Abuse and Trauma found through God and Psychology”
New comment:
While Abuse and Trauma harms so many people, few find hope to permanently heal and recover. This blog gives true accounts of victories, deliverance, stability and health found in Biblical Truths and in Advancements in Therapy, Medication and Psychology/Psychiatry. Experience the pain of lives disfigured from death, rape, addiction, violence, disease and all other types of disasters/evils and witness the possibilities available for real help for those who hurt. There is hope and healing for anyone abused and traumatized.
I guess that is a rap…or is it a wrap?!?! I would love input. Thank you so much for reading.
I used this exercise to write the “About” page for my new blog.
Short Version:
Project Game Plan is all about helping you win the game of project management.
Long Version:
When you were a kid, you probably had dreams of what you wanted to be when you grew up, right? Your personal list may have included occupations like President, professional athlete, movie/rock star, teacher, astronaut, fire fighter, police officer.
Most kids identify with occupations that are fun, exciting, or lucrative (with the exception of my daughter who, when she was little, wanted to be a check-out cashier in a grocery store).
Here’s one occupation I’ll bet wasn’t on your list: project manager. Why not? Probably because project manager is not the kind of job we think of as being much fun. It pays the bills, and gives you the opportunity to play straw boss every now and then, but it’s not up there with movie star or sports legend.
It’s Just a Game
This site looks at project management from a different perspective. What if projects were just games, with players, rules, activities, strategy, tactics, and a scoreboard? And you, as the project manager, were the coach of the team? Project management could actually be fun after all.
Project management is a game. As team manager, captain and coach, you (the project manager) will need a solid game plan to lead the team to victory. Project Game Plan explores the strategies, tactics, and tools that form the building blocks of your project plan.
Let’s try to make this fun.
I wrote my elevator pitch earlier this week. Here goes: Connecting with and inspiring other “un”perfect moms to embrace their imperfections and their children.
I want to introduce you to my world and the people in it. These folks are the real deal. Genuine, radiant souls who make me feel like the luckiest person alive. I once heard something that resonated with me. “We are all maps to each other.” How true this is. I believe we are brought together for the greater good. There are no hidden intentions. Let’s just be who we are and put all egos aside. Let’s celebrate those who follow their passion and know how to be.
Which makes me really think hard before I post it on my blog. :)
My initial posts talks about tips on how to land a job in a call center as a call center agent. But eventually I also included some news about the call centers here in the Philippines.
Let me really think about it first and will post another comment as soon as it is ready. :)
Have a great day!
I know. I’m late getting started, but here’s my elevator pitch for my tech blog.
‘It’s my take on all things tech. Concepts presented. Questions answered.’
http://www.patricktalkstech.com/2009/04/08/day-1-the-elevator-pitch/
Hey Darren, I am really late getting started…here is my Elevator Pitch:
Home Business Success blog is about sharing with my readers the same tools I use to make money online. Ranging from how I build my list, to lead generation and why having a responsive list is the key to financial success. In addition, I provide tips on CPA program success, and which ones of those programs pay well and how I make my money using them. HBS is all about making money online using repetition, persistence and social networking skills.
(I wrote a post announcing the challenge)
http://www.webmoneysuccess.com/2009/04/31-days-to-build-better-blog-im.html
Great first task. I’m a bit behind but I will get this done. I am using a Tumblog for mine and I hope I can figure out a way to add pages, but at least I made a post for now.

Real Estate News and Views – St Petersburg Florida and Beyond
Join me (Sharon Simms,The Simms Team, ALVA International) over coffee as we talk about the real estate market, trends, strategies, forecasts, condo and neighborhood summaries, market statistics as well as events and the lifestyle of living in the Tampa Bay area. We’ll talk about questions I’m asked, daily experiences in the real estate market here in St Petersburg, dialogues with national and international real estate colleagues, and what it’s like to live here in St Pete Florida.
Great first lesson. My personal elevator pitch is:
Do you know someone who is over 40 and tired of taking care of everyone else but herself? Maybe it is you? I am looking for that special woman who needs to remember to put herself first. Come to http://www.aviddiva.biz and share your story. We can learn from each other there.
On my other blog, I am now doing the 120 day race to move from Puerto Rico to Florida, so the elevator pitch for that one is:
Do you have any suggestions for a beginner entrepreneur who just discovered she has 120 days to move to another country? Contribute to our to do lists or just share your own experience at http://www.healthyafter40.blogspot.com
The blog name is Soulpower Is On. The elevator pitch: Soulpower is on the news of African-Americans in politics, policies affecting African-Americans AND our involvement in the justice system for better or for worse.
Blog name:
Eclectic Mommy
Elevator Pitch:
Mommy philosophy: Take the best, leave the rest.
Reasoning:
Eclectic means taking the best/favorites of a philosophy and leaving what is not appropriate. I’ve discovered I’m not the traditional mom and I am working on taking the bits of mommy advice I find and using only what I like, rather than what everyone else likes.
Forgot to put up my elevator pitch yesterday.
Off-Stage-Right is a strategic look at the process of running a nonprofit theatre, and all of the factors that affect the process (with the occasional personal story tossed in). It is a source for all theatre practitioners, but topics addressed are a necessity for all nonprofit theater leaders to be thinking about. Issues explored include: marketing, development, leadership, nonprofit tools and most importantly why the heck to produce theatre in the first place.
Why am I writing it?
If we can’t make theatre relevant, why do it? If we can’t make it affordable and sustainable, we won’t be doing it. I want to make theatre relevant, affordable and sustainable – this is my way of thinking about what might do that.
http://www.off-stage-right.com
Short version: Exploring the world one adventure at a time.
Long version: A blog for adventure junkies or adventure wanna-a-bes, outdoor enthusiasts or animal lovers. Live adventurously through my blog or get tips to live your very own adventure.
Have suggestions? Please let me know!
Here’s the short version, working on a longer one.
http://www.quietbabylon.com/
“The future is here, it just hasn’t been distributed yet.”
Quiet Babylon is about sifting through the debris of the past and present, trying to answer: What comes next?
Blog: Blogging ‘Bout Boys
Tagline: All about boys — raising them, educating them and learning with them
Jenny
http://www.bloggingboutboys.blogspot.com
My new tagline is for a personal blog. I think it was a greater challenge to craft something for personal use vs. professional. Be that as it may, here it is (for now):
“Digging for Fire is an outlet for my random musings, reinforcing health commitments and counter counter-culture.”
ablazeydaisy.blogspot.com
Thanks Darren for this. Your site has always been a great help to mine and continuously serves as an inspiration.
Here’s my elevator pitch:
“Influential Blogger shares lessons learned from influential authors and personalities. It is also home of the annual top 10 emerging influential blogs writing project that puts the spotlight on new blogs.”
Thanks Darren!
My blog: From A Vineyard Garden
Elevator Pitch: A light-hearted, artsy place to unwind with pretty things to see and hints to help you in your own special garden.
I’m sure this can be further refined and I will work on it.
Tageline: Coming together to network, learn and share.
Short Speech: Teaching homeschooing teens how to become an entrepreneur.
Long Speech: Teen Biz Talk offers a business community for teaching homeschooling teens how to become an entrepreneur in a safe environment that helps them to create, build and grow their business.
The short version:
Bees and Chicks: Adventures in beekeeping and gardening.
The long version:
Sisters Mary Beth and Barbara tell the truth about their adventures in beekeeping and gardening. Mary Beth, a Master Gardener working on Block Island, will share her experiences creating a beehive from the ground up — especially the stuff the books and experts leave out.
Barbara, a somewhat lazy and easily frustrated gardener, will be relating her experiences as she attempts to transform her Southern California garden from water-guzzling lawn to a wildlife habitat using native and drought-tolerant plants.
We’ll both be pursuing our goals in the most earth-friendly, creature-friendly, organic and sustainable manner possible.
Is it sad that I can’t really come up with an elevator pitch?
I have transferred my poker blog from blogspot to my own site:
http://www.nomenot.net
and I am planning on making the blog more about life, family, business, and pretty much anything that is on my mind instead of just mostly about poker.
Is diversity a bad thing?
Getting to this a couple days late because of my laptop dying but here’s what I use for my blog.
Slacker Reform is a blog documenting my process into redesigning my own life on all fronts: creating a profitable remote business, simplifying life choices, developing positive habits, being an eccentric and much more.
Slacker Reform: Lifestyle design for the Lazy at Heart
Motto: Live, Learn, Succeed.
I’ve also been toying with: Slacker Reform: Like BK, Life Your Way.
This was a tough one for me as my blog doesn’t have one specific topic. If I keep it that way, I would probably be best off changing the name and tagline to reflect the most-used topics (dogs and technology) and make that the blog’s “purpose.”
New name: Rottweilers Ate My iBook
New tagline: Rottweilers. Computers. World Domination. Not necessarily in that order.
New “about me”: This is my highly personal take on my favorite topics: the care and training of Rottweilers, and the care and taming of technology. Remember: don’t let either of them know that you’re scared!

Thanks to Darren for this series and thanks to all 31DBBB participants. I am getting so much out of reading my fellow 31DBBBers comments and blogs.
Hi Darren,
Thanks for putting up this post on Elevator Pitch. I always found it disappointing when people ask me what I do and I wasn’t able to give a clear idea. But after this post of yours I have worked myself on my about me page and have tried my best to explain about me and my blog.
I look forward for all the posts that are yet to come in 31 day series
Please do visit my About Me page –

Thanks,

I found the ideas of how to use an elevator pitch interesting. I hadn’t thought of putting one on a business card and at the bottom of an email .
My pitch for the Odtaafiles is ODTAA: One Damn Thing After Another: The English Way of Zen. 501 examples of why you should employ me as a writer. From the serious to the tabloid.
Sections: In the Inbox, Critical paths (Reviews), On the Soapbox (Politics and general moans), No Sex Please (I’m English) and much, much more.
For National Apathy Week. Do nothing and raise lots of cash for charity. Be sponsored not, repeat not to do a stunt for charity in the week September 20th – 27th.
Great advice, thanks Darren.
The temptation to stray from your target niche can be great when you’re faced with a blank screen struggling to write. This exercise forces you to focus and reign in your ideas and will hopefully serve as a constant reminder of what my blog is about.
Here’s my shortened elevator pitch:
Holiday makers’ guide to Britain with tips and travel advice for taking a holiday in the UK, Channel Islands, Isle of Man and Ireland.
I’m a day behind and playing catch up as I’m on holiday at the moment, in Britain of course.
Coffee Talks and Cupcakes.
Powered by coffee and cupcakes, A Woman’s Weekly is one Mom’s attempt at juggling three kids, her blog and the laundry.
*thinks some more*
this is interesting and i will do it at most of my blog.
Hi Darren, thanks for the program.
My tagline for now is “My filings on entrepreneurship, business, technology while cherishing life at the same time.”
If people have suggestions, leave them on my blog please.
I’ve been following Darren Rowse’s “31 Days to Build a Better Blog”. Following are my early attempts at creating an ‘elevator pitch’ for my two blogs:
Modern Living – Cybercafé, Internet Café, Net Café eMagazine Life “Sometimes On The Edge”© … (http://sometimesontheedge.blogspot.com/) – A lifestyle magazine covering diet, exercise, medicine, mental health, physical health, computers, best of the internet, photography. People who are passionate about their pursuits are also passionate in the rest of their lives. They know that meaningful activities, a positive attitude and a joyful perspective on life makes us healthier, happier, more productive and more fun to be with. Laughter is necessary to a healthy lifestyle.
Web [Web 2.0+© (web2u©)] … (http://web2plus.blogspot.com/) – Blogs, Computers, http//www., Internet, Web Design and Development, Web Pages, The World Wide Web, Web 2.0+. Free Courses about Web 2.0+ Applications. With such heavy topics we try to inject a bit of humor.
Ëdited about me to read: “This blog is an adventure into online. It is an exploration into the unknown virtual world to satisfy a curiosity about how it works, who it connects to to, who listens and how to be heard. It’s intention is to draw my students into this world, to to stimulate discussion, provoke debate, encourage participation, to share notes, links and ideas (mine and others), as well as to experiment with the power of individual voices on a world stage.”
I’ve finally come up with a tagline that captures the essence of my blog, The Writing Place: tips on technique
Now I need to think of one that’s a bit longer and more explanatory as an elevator pitch.
