Since not many responses came to my challenge experiment I’ve decided to go with the top 3 out of the ones that readers left. Below is the poll. It closes on the 28th of December. I will probably start the challenge in the first week of January.
Feel free to vote for the options, or suggest something else. Remember the winner gets to do it with me, upon their availability of course. It’s to your benefit to be available to do so, as ANY monetary gain that comes out of the challenge will be split between us. So if I’m voted to launch a new blog and get 100 RSS readers in a month – any revenue that is generated for that month gets split between us. Similar rules for the other challenges.

The difficulty of the challenge depends on the way you will realize the project.
Will you use your real ID?
Will you take advantage of the reputation you already have in this blog, to draw attention to the other?
Will you notice your friends/acquaintances/mailing list/etc to take a look at your blog?
Also – if you create a new blog – what will be its subject be? Some communities have greater affinity to technology than others. Its different to make a blog about agriculture and the blooming periods of flowers or about linux and open software.

I voted start a new blog, {which was my idea
} but I’m not sure it counted my vote.

@robojiannis – Zach made that challenge to me and he said I could pick any topic I like. As far as using this blog to leverage interest into that, I don’t see anything wrong with it. But I will keep it to the minimum.
Besides, I’m not going to reveal the number of RSS subscribers till the month is over. Should that challenge win in the voting.

@Hyder – I agree, its not wrong to use the current blog to draw attention. It just makes the challenge a bit easier
