I read that post too and it seems like a solid strategy if you can keep up with it. Good luck with the schedule - it seems pretty heavy!

We'll see how insane I am - chances are I have bitten off more than I can chew. That said, I've achieved the seemingly impossible before, so I'm going to keep giving it everything I can until it no longer works. Either way, it will be both an interesting journey and a source of further article content :) Best regards, Andrew Hi cerebralmum,

It is going to be quite a challenge :) I guess for this particular month's blog that I have a pool of other intrapreneurs within SMS to plead/bribe/shame into writing some articles for me - but there is that compounding effect :) I'm thinking of advertising via the ProBlogger job board and my own mini blog network and seeing what happens for the other blogs - I think that the end result will be a blog network of sorts. If nothing else, it will certainly be interesting :) Best regards, Andrew Hi Christine,

I hadn't heard it before but I did a quick search and I see there's already a wikipedia entry. I’m doing a version of the flagship project as well although the blogs are only a part of it. It’s a series of affiliate marketing projects. I’d already started planning it when I read Maki’s post so I printed off his schedule and worked out how I could use it to add a bit more momentum to what I was doing. One of the challenges is obviously the compounding effect. It starts off being no sweat as you say but halfway into it you have the same starting schedule plus 6 other blogs to maintain. Maki deals with it by having these 3 tasks in weeks 2-4 “put up an ad looking for writers and monitor their applications” “hire a few good writers and tell them your requirement” “ensure that hired writers write a few posts. Give feedback” Easy right? I've kind of worked out how I might deal with the compounding effect but I think there will be some lessons along the way :)) I admire you for taking up the challenge alongside a full time job! There are two of us going to be working on it pretty much full time. All the best with it - I'll follow your progress. Intrapreneur is a good word.

I'm not sure whether you are insane or not, but good luck with it. And kudos.
