Before I begin I want to apologize to everyone that checked in for a new blog entry yesterday. I mentioned I would post a new entry every other day, but i realized that I don't have much to speak about to be posting every other day. So I plan on posting every Tuesday and Thursday now.
The T+T League registration went great this past weekend. We have 8 teams in and possibly more. This is going to be an exciting, competitive, and fun league. First games will be this Sunday June 29th, 2014 at the Boys and Girls Club. The schedule, time, and rosters will be announced on the website. Please check the website (beyourowndad.com) later in the week for an update.
The process of creating a brand is very exciting. I want to share the statistics so far. The blog is at 948 views since I released it on 6/12/14. I didn't think I had much to say but it appears that people like reading my thoughts. I don't know if 948 views is normal in the blog world or not, but all the support is greatly appreciated. I noticed a trend in the amount of viewers per day. Since announcing the project the first few days I would get almost 100 page views per day. I would receive a lot of RTs on twitter about spreading the word and that truly helped. Now I feel like the hype is down and numbers are decreasing by the day. So to everyone that has been following my progress and looking to support it would really help if you RT tweets of the account every now and then. A simple RT can introduce the brand to your own followers and they can have a chance to be inspired and motivated.
The official twitter account is at 96 followers since releasing the account on 6/14/14. I had a goal to get 50 followers by 7/14/14 and I crush that within the first 5 days. Next goal is 100 followers by the same date and I think I should be able to reach that hopefully by the end of the day. There are prizes for every interval of 50 followers. The first 50 was entered into a contest for a free shirt and one lucky follower won! This time around the 100th follower is going to receive a free wristband. Spread the word and you may have a chance to win a prize! Once again please follow on twitter as well as instagram at @beyourowndad.
I'm very excited to announce the first testimony for the website is up. Hopefully after viewing the 1st story there will be more understanding for the website. Beyourowndad is all about sharing your story to inspire somebody else to make a change in their life. The story of Rashema Melson is the perfect example of what Beyourowndad is all about. Talk about inspiring!!!!
Lastly, the Facebook page has been getting some love too. The page is at 148 likes and growing each and everyday. Please share the page on your own facebook if you would like to support. Once again I want to Thank everybody for the support that I have received thus far and keep in mind this is only the beginning!!!
BTW: Beyourowndad wristbands are on the way! Once the wristbands come in my promotion team and I will be traveling around Mass to beaches and events to spread the word. If you know of any major events coming up this summer please let me know by leaving a comment!
