No cash to invest in your blog, but ready to put out some effort?
Have you been unmotivated and unfocused with your entrepreneur related blog?
Ready to expand the information your blog provides to its visitors?
Would you like some unique content?
Could five sets of "eyes" out there on the internet, looking for related information, benifit your blog?
Could your blog use some more exposure?
Are you willing to help others in exchange for their help?
Want to develope new/current skills?
Like the idea of being part of something new?

I'm just a newbie with an idea.....creating a blog team to provide support and motivation to jump start, re-start, and maintain blogs. This invite is for the premire (first) team. There will be some things to workout of course, since its a brand new idea for me, but I did my best to come up with requirements that are beneficial to the team members and their blogs, without being a burden. It will require some effort and time of course. There's more information here. Please look at the information I already have posted before you post questions here...thanks. (Sad I have to add the last sentence, but I have already had people ask questions/judge/comment without looking at any information!)

I'm not out to change the blogging world with this, or anything like that, I'd just like to make a positive difference (motivate), one small group of hard working bloggers at a time. No hidden fees or costs, it just requires some effort and some time.
 


Jan, at the time of my post, there have been 47 views to your post, and no
replies.

I went to your blog, and the writing, as it does here, quite frankly comes across as one big rant.

I'm not even 100% sure what the idea is.

Sorry if this is too blunt, I know you were not asking for critique. I wanted so much to understand this plan of yours, but cannot.

Good luck!
 
I do appreciate the input/bluntness, thank you!
I wrote the requirements on word and they weren't copying and pasting well for posts. I fixed it in one post and there is a link from my blog to them. I'll work on the requirements today and just post it here. (The reason no link to the requirements from here-its on a different forum and I think it shows disrespect to post a direct link from the forum I'm posting on to another forum).

From Thur-Sun I put in 54 hours at my two jobs! I didn't get a chance to get back this, but I have some time today before work, though. I think I will put the link to the requirements at the top of my blog post till I get the requirements posted here.

Well, I wouldn't be the first person who had what they thought was a great idea to help people, turn out to not be such a great idea! All we all can do is keep trying, eventually the odds end up in our favor and an idea takes off :)
 
Jan, I still would like to know what the idea is?

Ha Ha.. Is it about creating a group of bloggers that support one another, in
terms of helping each other out, motivating each other, posting on each other's blogs, or??

Is it a project that the group works on as a team? Several projects?

It's great that you have some requirements, but what is the carrot?

I answered yes to all of your questions:

Would you like some unique content?
Could five sets of "eyes" out there on the internet, looking for related information, benifit your blog?
Could your blog use some more exposure?
Are you willing to help others in exchange for their help?
Want to develope new/current skills?

Is this the idea?

creating a blog team to provide support and motivation to jump start, re-start, and maintain blogs. This invite is for the premire (first) team
Click to expand...

The teams works on client blogs? each other's blogs? a joint blog? Will there be additional teams? Competing teams? What is a premire [sic] team?

Help me out, it sounds interesting, but maybe that's because it's so vague that I have to think up my own ideas??
 
Jan
