Blog Carnival
The next edition of the blog carnival will be published September 2!
What is a blog carnival?
In short, a blog carnival is a blog promotional event where one blogger acts as the host and other bloggers act as participants. The host announces the carnival date and topic then other bloggers who write about that topic on their own blogs write a post related to the blog carnival’s topic and publish it on their blogs. Each participating blogger sends the host the link to their specific blog carnival post entry.
On the date of the blog carnival, the host publishes a post with links to each of the participants’ entries. Typically, the host will write a summary of each link, but it’s up to the host how he or she wants to display the links to the various entries. When the blog carnival post is published by the host, readers of the host’s blog will have easy access to a variety of posts related to a topic of interest to them.
Each participant is expected to promote the blog carnival on their own blogs in advance of the carnival thereby driving traffic to the host’s blog. The assumption is that when the carnival date arrives, the host’s readers will want to read the various participants’ entries to the carnival and will click on those links to visit the participants’ blogs thus driving new traffic to the participants’ blogs.
The Ms. Biz Blog Carnival will focus on home business women. Some of them will have a specific topic, while others will be more general.
