Rediscovering Domesticity: 31 Days to a Better Blog: Elevator

31 Days to a Better Blog: Elevator



What in the world?  Elevator?

Let me explain.  I am participating in a bloggy boot camp party for 31 days.  I will be posting as I move through this journey.  I'd love comments and input from all who read!  I want to make this blog the best it can be and I appreciate your input!

Now, what about that elevator?

Today's writing prompt is to write an elevator phrase - something that can be used to sum up and promote the blog.

I sort of have one, but I am not sure how well it fits what the blog has become.  "Where wives and mothers, through Grace, strive toward the ideal of the Proverbs 31 woman."

I could add in an expansion sentence.

"Where wives and mothers, through Grace, strive toward the ideal of the Proverbs 31 woman.  Join the discussion of the various aspects of being a Christian wife and mother."

But...

What do I really want the blog to say?  How do I want it to feel?  What are some words that capture the spirit of the blog?  Please add your own below!  None of this is set in stone!

inviting,  comforting, factual, real, homey, challenging, humorous, down to earth, relevant, community

Let's try...

"Join the joys, struggles, and musings of a real life wife and mother in a place where wives and mothers, through Grace, strive toward the ideal of the Proverbs 31 woman."

We'll go with that for now.  I look forward to any input y'all have.  I'll revisit in  a day or two after a little more sleep to gain a fresh perspective.  Does it fit?

Since this is my first visit, I don't have a phrase to share. I know that determining that elevator pitch is crucial, though. It has brought me from random ramblings to a place of ministry on my blog. It has given me a vision and a purpose that I can focus on, helping to clear the clutter that can often overtake blogs. Good luck!

I love your last phrase...maybe use the word "experience" instead of "join"??? I like it either way though. I think it fits perfectly.

What a wonderful goal to strive for - your pitch sounds warm and welcoming!

I love your last elevator pitch ~ it's warm, inviting and tells the reader exactly what to expect when reading your blog. I also like that the tone is homey rather than preaching, so I see this as a place for give and take rather than a place where you're giving and I'm receiving ~ a shared experience.

I've taken your button and added it to my blogroll at Living Outside the Stacks
