The future of Cupcake Hero

Eep. Lately my life has gotten busier than it was only a few months ago.

(I'm not complaining. Just explaining. I love all my clients (new and old) and appreciate their faith in spreading the word about my little ol cupcake biz.)

I'm not quite at the point where I feel like Cupcake Hero is a chore each month instead of a fun hobby. But before I let it get to that point I need to make a decision.

(1) Should I give it up completely?
(2) Should I make it a yearly event? (ie more of a Cupcake Hero Xmas edition)
(3) Should I make it a seasonal event? (ie Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer)
(4) Should I have guest hosts each month? (ie the previous month winner gets to host)

Does anyone wanna help me moderate the Cupcake Hero flickr group?

Any other opinions, suggestions, comments welcome.

How about seasonal and guest hosts?? That would take a lot of the 'burden' off of you and we could help out by signing up ahead of time B4 the time due.....

Have been wanting to join in, but every month, there seems to be a lot more taking up my time. :)

Given that, I think seasonal editions would be a great idea. :)

Guest Host - Maybe the winner from the previous month?

I'd be more than happy to guest host next month. You might have to fill me in on exactly what that would mean, but I'd be more than happy to do it.

I like the seasonal idea. It almost seems to be too much of a good thing with the monthly schedule. And a hassle.

I'm a fan of options 3 and 4...seasonal cupcakes plus having guest hosts would make it easier and more accessible for everyone, plus getting extra site traffic would be a great extra incentive/prize for the winner!

[I would also feel less bad about missing quite so many contests and (theoretically) might actually be able to participate if there's a bit more time in between!]

I like the guest host idea most, as I actually like the idea of CH every month - it's not too often for me - plus it means you can miss one now and then and not feel too bad!
The seasonal idea is my second favourite.
But I will be happy as long as we can keep Cupcake Hero going somehow - it's so much fun, and helps to spark all our creative juices

Winning cupcake gets to host next month! Or just take a list of volunteers! (I'm sure a lot of people would love to host, including me!) Having it monthly gives people the option of skipping one because they're busy, knowing full well that they can just wait until next month Also, perhaps having it seasonally would draw a lot more entries, thus making it way more overwhelming :S

Whatever you choose, just make sure that it doesn't die out!
