Today I start the 31 day challenge given by ProBlogger on how to improve one’s blog. This will be quite the challenge for me as I work all day and I am tired when I arrive home. Still, I want to improve Siyensya and focus in on where I want this site to go.
The first challenge is to make an elevator pitch. 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
This pitch is like a mission statement as it gives direction on where the site is heading. All decisions reflect back to this elevator pitch and and this gives the site purpose and direction. It is also short and to the point. I like that. Keep it simple.
This is a difficult challenge for me as I am not sure where to go with this site. I am interested in many subjects like math, science, gemelogy and teaching. But I am also interested in selling information and some of my artistic creations. I have some ideas now, but what I will do is sleep on it and first thing tomorrow morning I’ll post on my elevator pitch, aka mission statement.
update: Since my goal is to teach and/or tutor math, science and ESL from the Philippines using science as a base, my elevator pitch should reflect this. I like teaching and learning technology for an improved life. I’ll keep thinking.
update II: I thought about this during the day and I’ve feel good about this new update.
Science and Math For Life. I’m looking to incorporate and extend science and technology by using web communities to communicate with and to build and develop friendships.
