b5media

I am thinking that I want to join b5media (a blog network), but am wondering if I am spreading myself too thin. I think it is this new found time that I have had this week. Getting up at 4:30 and having the baby get up at 9:00 gives me four to five hours (depending on exactly when he gets up) to write and post. I am working at lightning speed compared to what I have done in the past. It of course is something that needed to happen in order for our website and these blogs to grow though. Posting once or twice a week on the blogs and once or twice a month on the website just wasn't really cutting it.

So, with my new found time I am planning on posting everyday (at least Monday through Friday) on each blog that we own (sometimes Falon can post, but not as often as either of us would like). I plan on posting to Helium articles each day (Monday through Friday) and two new pages added to our website. So, far I have ideas backed up for quite a ways, so it should be awhile before I run out of pages to add to our website. I am also reading e-mails for money (and actually making some).

I am excited about the opportunity that b5media could have for me (depending on whether or not I am excepted), but I am hesitant to join right now. I don't want to give up any of the other work that I am doing. At the same time it is a large commitment. I would have to make six to fifteen posts a week for my b5media blog. Part of me wants to jump at it, like some large challenge that will work me toward my goals, other parts of me cower in fear. (These are the negative thoughts I talked about today on the Thought Provokers blog). I say to myself, "what if I am not good enough? What if they don't want me or my ideas?" Of course, I would live if they didn't want me. And I would actually not be any worse off then I already am.

Maybe I shouldn't wait the week that I thought about waiting. Maybe I should go for it...What do you think? Should I go for it, or should I continue to be timid and fearful? (Answer below in the comments section).
