I've recently come up with a blogging project I'm extremely excited about. I'm planning to document the experience of being a cyclist in Minneapolis from many different angles. I'll use photography and written content to share my own stories, report on events and bike news, and interview others. I already have a whole page worth of recurring post ideas and I've already set up the site, written a few posts, and started a Twitter account for the project.
I'm already quite involved in cycling culture in Minneapolis. I'm on the bicycle advisory committee for the city, involved in bike groups on Facebook, and have many cyclist friends. I don't want to inundate any of these avenues with pleas for people to 'check out my blog.' I do think, however, that many people would be interested in the project and I'd like to encourage people to share ideas they have for posts, volunteer to be interviewed, and volunteer to guest post. At what point should I publicize the content? I haven't done a photo post yet. I want to stop cyclists about town, take a picture apiece, and ask them a few set questions about their relationship with biking. After one post like this should I publicize to my groups? Or should I wait until I have 10 posts, so there's more content for people to explore? Thanks!
