It’s time to hit the Internet!
If all goes to plan I can be offline for the first 20 days of the challenge because even though all my writing takes place on the computer, it doesn’t require me to be connected to the net. And all my research takes place offline too.
Now there’s a few things I need to do.
1) Claim URLs
2) Grab images.
3) Copy and paste my content.
4) Maybe grab a few relevant links of other websites and webpages. As well as Amazon products.
5) Hit publish.
I could follow these steps by either doing the lot in a batch or I can follow all five steps per individual hub, one at a time. I think I might do the latter. Only because I want to publish each of these hubs as quickly as possible, and while it’s still going to be overwhelming, any fans that are subscribed will have a better chance of reading a few of them. Rather than get slammed with 30 hubs all at once.
Lets look at these steps closer…
1) Claim your URLs: I prefer short and sweet URLs. If it’s two or more words I’ve been leaning more towards hyphens than underscores and runtogetherwords. I’ll explain this more later in a dedicated blog post.
2) Find appropriate images, just one or two for each hub. You can use photos you’ve taken, or you have permission to use, or you can sign up at a free stock photography site such as: MorgueFile, Free Range Stock and stock.xchng. Be sure to follow the instructions for each of those sites. You will probably have to resize the images so they’re smaller in file size. It’s a good idea because uploading an optimized image which can be 75kb in size after editing is a lot quicker than uploading a 2meg file. You might also want to consider Youtube. Are there videos which illustrate the point you’re making? Is there a video that will enhance your visitors experience?
3) Start copying and pasting your content into the hubs. And upload your photos.
4) Relevant links. Do a search and find other top quality sites that would be of benefit to your visitor. Put yourself in your readers shoes. Do a search at Amazon to find the best targeted product that will complement your subject matter.
5) Two words: Hit publish.
My 30 day challenge only actually requires me to be online for 10 of the 30 days. So if you’re ever going to be offline for an extended amount of time, but you still have access to a computer, you could do all the ground work to publish a big batch of hubs, whether or not you’re doing the 30 Day Hub Challenge.

Does anyone have other free stock photography sites that they like to use?

Hey Glen, great post. I was wondering how you were capable of publishing 30 hubs in a few minutes
I knew you are one of the best Hubbers but now I understand why.
As to the free stock photography I use sxc, flickr, freefoto.com and I just find another one which I still do not know if it works fine: dreamstime.com
