Hello there Terry – Welcome to the blog! Always exciting to have a new reader pop up in the comments.

I thank you for your suggestions. I actually do have subject categories, which can be found in both the sidebar (in a drop-down menu) and at the bottom of each post. Perhaps they’re not prominent enough? I also tag each post but, looking through my site, I can’t see where they’re listed. Perhaps they’re not visible within this template? Will need to look into that!

Steph, You have a good elevator speech. I think you just need to work on your content and have some specific categories you write about. You can highlight them in your sidebars.

Having tags might also help.

Looking forward to reading more.

I think you have captured Freelancedom perfectly with your new elevator pitch. It answers both questions perfectly. Identifies your main niche clients and also lets them know what you want to help them with.

I don’t know if my site really has any elevator pitch material. It is mostly a blog about nonsensencial ramblings from my mind and life…but that might just change here in the next few weeks.

All in all I think yours sounds great!

I love the “bunny slippers to business plans” tagline. It really captures the fun, yet authoritative flavor of Freelancedom. I think there are a lot of great taglines that are too cute for normal conversation. And that’s fine. The linguistic wit is what makes them memorable, but it’s hard to work phrases like that into conversation unless you’re naturally quick witted.

On another note, I have several niches, so I have multiple elevator pitches depending on the occasion. This helps me be more targeted, but it’s also confusing, because sometimes I’m unsure of which one to use.
