CREW: I’m Not A Famous Blogger
Drew Bennett is a traveler. It’s his extensive traveling around the United States, actually, that motivated him to start blogging in the first place – he wanted to keep his friends and family informed about his adventures. Blogging seemed like the perfect medium to do this. The result: The BenSpark.
In 2005 Drew set out to take one photograph each day to chronicle his life in pictures and nearly five years later he is still at it. Photography is one of his passions and the growing audience of The BenSpark has helped fuel this passion.
Drew eventually launched several other blogs and also began working on a podcast that combined technology and his love for kayaking. He became a first-time father in 2007, and saw this as an opportunity to start a blog about being a dad — and also to serve as a resource for other fathers.
Drew joined the IZEA Community in 2006, shortly after discovering PayPerPost. He eventually became engrained in the community: guest blogging on the IZEA Company Blog; live-blogging CollegeFest 2007; participating as a panelist on the Fab Four Bloggers Panel at PostieCon in 2007; Moderator for the Big Money Bloggers Panel at IZEAFest ’08; and now as an IZEA Insider.
Drew is constantly looking for opportunities to expand his brand, and you’ll often find him at industry conferences and tradeshows. He’s also exploring regional social media events in the Northeast.
Drew is married, and has a beautiful baby girl.

Hey Ben,
I’m a member of “I’m not a famous blogger”. Help me out with what this community’s about.
@Tshering Tamang: Did you receive your welcome message yet? What specifically do you need help with, let me know your questions please.
Hola Drew, just got an automated email from Sponzai about a dormant account… logged back in, there were no leads, and a generic text about “long term PR goals…”
Whenever you get a chance, hit me up on FB or Twitter, I’d like to talk on the phone about Best Practices/Tips or however you want to call it to leverage the platform.
Saludos!
@FJPalacio
@Francisco Palacio: Your guess is as good as mine on that one because I can’t even log back into my sponzai account. I will have to get customer love to help me out.
hi drew, it’s nice to be in your team’s member, because i’m not a famous blogger, should learn much more..
warm greetings..
@cheraxsp: Glad to have you as part of the crew. Thanks very much for the comment.
This is awesome video, I still laughing and had to replay it more than once! I like the catch when you changed your clothes and the seine! great work!
@Hesham @ FamousBloggers: Thanks very much. I am glad you liked the video. I may have to update it.
Hi Andrew
I’m impressed reading your post. I also love traveling and adventures. Keep posting, nice share
@Scarlett: Thanks very much Scarlett. I’ll keep on posting.
You know… you are getting to be famous enough that you might have to resign from your own “I’m not a famous blogger” team! HA! (We can all aspire to such greatness.) *grin*
@Mer: LOL. I seriously don’t see myself getting too famous or anything but I think people are enjoying my brand.
