•  Plan, Plan,Plan.  I got the dates mixed up and didn’t give my blogging friends enough time to participate.
• Start early.  Don’t wait until the day of to blog.
• Make sure you use a blogging platform that allows you to schedule.
• DON’T participate when you have a big project going on.  Our surprise took longer to get rolling due to the time constraints of the blogathon.
• Make sure you give guest bloggers plenty of time to participate and remind them often until they post for you.
• Thank not only your readers (thank you) but also your guest bloggers with link love.
• Enjoy all that you will learn and talk about.

I definitely would recommend participating in one if you ever get the opportunity.  Just work it smart, not hard.
