What exactly is "manage your blog network?"
I know that to you it makes perfect sense, but to outsiders it does not. It could really mean anything under the sun because everyone with a blog network is going to need something different.
I suggest you sit down and make a list of everything that is involved with managing a blog network. Then take each of those items and break them down further into individual steps.
Example:
Task: Update blogs with content
Step 1: Decide which content will be used for needed updates
Step 2: Modify content so it meets the needs of the network (resize pictures, etc.)
Step 3: Write the appropriate text for content sets
Step 4: Add and schedule posts from premade content
Now, YOU be the manager for this task. You need to decide which content should be used and create a list of this content. You then hire someone to choose appropriate pictures from the content sets, resize the pictures, create the text for the pictures, and e-mail everything back to you. YOU will then add and schedule the posts.
You are on the right track in wanting someone to do all of this for you, but you are asking for something that is far too vague. You need to find a good person that can handle Step 2 and 3 and then mold them into a position where they can also handle Step 1 and 4, leaving you time to go onto the next project.
Don't look for a manager. Look for someone that can complete specific tasks and is willing to learn and grow with you.
