Keeping your talent happy should be the number 1 rule if you’re starting a blog network. Jason Calacanis of Weblogs, Inc. has a few tips on how to do just that.

  1. Keep talented folks focused on making great product.
  2. Get talented people paid (so they can focus on making great product)
  3. Let talented people grow and support the hell out of them (so they can focus on making great product)
  4. Make talented people feel comfortable that they are not going to get screwed (so they can focus on making great product).
  5. Make a bunch of money (so talented folks can get more money and get more focused on making great product).

Nice tips. Every network owner needs to hop over there and take a quick read.
