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.
