Team Energizer Application

To Kailani and Krissy,

Please consider this my application and online resumé to be a part of your BlogHer 2010 Energizer Smart RechargHER team. Kailani, I’ve been following you on Twitter for several months. Krissy, I’ve been following you since at least before the team contest was announced, found you with the BlogHer hashtag some time ago. So you know I’m no Johnny come lately. I’m looking forward to meeting you both at BlogHer in a few weeks and would love to take it up a notch by joining you both on the Energizer team.

Here’s what I can offer you as a team member:

1. I’m creative. I think outside the box. I also have a sense of humor. Don’t believe me? Check this out:

2. I love the Energizer brand. I live in the St. Louis area, home to Energizer’s Global Headquarters. Energizer is not just a brand I like, but by supporting and promoting Energizer, it helps my friends and neighbors by boosting our local economy.

3. I’ve actually tried the Energizer Recharge Smart charger and love it. I like it enough to make a ridiculous video to demonstrate this affection. See point number one.

4. I’ve had my BlogHer ticket for months. I have zero sponsors. I’m just doing this thing the old fashioned way so far.As a newbie blogger, this thing makes me exactly zero dollars… and we all know domains and hosting aren’t free. I have a family of 6, so some help would be nice. Who doesn’t like help?

5. I might have some invitations to some private parties. You might have seen a clue or two in the video if you looked carefully. What does that mean? More mixing and mingling with different groups of bloggers, OFF the main BlogHer sanctioned areas. Some even before the conference officially starts. Wink, wink, say no more…

6. I’m a BlogHer virgin. I’d love to be a part of a team and have a reason to strike up conversations with people. Better yet, I’d like to have a reason to tweet out my location for people to find me and find swag. Otherwise I might end up a lonely wallflower… you wouldn’t want that would you?

7. My degree is in Communications, which means I have some skillz. Not just any skills, skills needed to be a good member of what is, for all practical purposes, a street team. Did I mention, I can rock a t-shirt while approaching strangers?

8. I’m willing to have lots of fun along the way, but I’m also willing to work. While I know it’s a contest, I also know you don’t want to be left holding the bag if a team member takes the money and runs. That’s not my style. That’s all I’ll say about that.

9. #ILoveHashtags

Last, but certainly not least:

10. I really, really would like to somehow redeem myself (and my blog) from what my lovely children did to me a few months ago, in such a lovely public manner:

With kids like that, I could use a RechargHER at BlogHer 2010. Thanks Krissy and Kailani for the fun contest and opportunity to join you on the Energizer BlogHer RechargHER team!
