You could approach the 30 Hubs in 30 Days Hub Challenge by doing one hub a day. If you can find the time to do so, it can work for you. But it’s easy to miss a day, or even two, due to whatever it is that life throws at you. And it’s hard to play catch up. So this method I’m going to outline might suit you if, like me, you’re banking on having some hidden surprises thrown at you.

I split the thirty days into three parts. You can make them equal, you can add or subtract a couple of days here or there, depending on how quickly you can progress. And if you have to miss a day or two, you can easily smooth it over.

Here’s what I’ll be doing in the first third of my 30 days:

Make a list. I pick out some topics that interest me. Do the hubs I’ve always wanted to do. I’ve got a few hub names claimed previously that I haven’t had a chance to do yet, so nows the time to push myself to clear them away.

I’ve already been approved to do a Capstone series, so there’s 15 straight up. Maybe if you’ve got a theme running through your list you could tie them together. I’ll be doing the main Capstone hub AFTER the thirty day challenge. Because that will require a lot of thought and effort. Read my hub on the Capstone Hub Program for more details.
I’ll be researching my list of topics. I prefer not to rely on online information. I hit the books or I write from what I know.

I take all this information I’ve gathered and save them into separate text documents. The name of the .txt files will be what I’d like to name my URLs. I’ll find out later if they are indeed available. If they’re not, I’ll figure out something, but that will come later.

At this stage I’m not worrying about editing any of it yet, I’m concentrating on getting ahold of as much information as I can, and getting down the most important bits.

I do keep in mind what standard I’m aiming at? Obviously a Flagship Hub standard is too high. My minimum criteria is that of a Capstone serial hub. 700 words would be better. If it goes for longer than that I should start thinking about splitting the information up. For instance, have I covered too much about the history of the topic? That might be better off being another hub. Or I could put that information aside and publish it later at another site with a backlink to my hub.

Be mindful of just how much information you’re going to cover in your hubs because the longer it is now, the more editing you’ll have to do later. And that’s going to take some time.

I’ll be kicking off my challenge on Friday 24th and I already know that I’ll miss at least two days due to other commitments, quite possibly three days during that first 10 day period. So I’ve got about 7 days to brainstorm my ideas and collect my information.

Once I’ve done that I’m ready for Stage II. More on that soon.
