After contemplating blog carnivals since almost the time I started blogging, I finally jumped in. To be honest, it took me a long time to wrap my head around blog carnivals. Plus, I’m afraid of clowns and I once got sick on a tilta-whirl. It’s not something I’d like to revisit.
What is a blog carnival? Well, to lift some copy directly from Blog Carnival:
Blog Carnivals typically collect together links pointing to blog articles on a particular topic. A Blog Carnival is like a magazine. It has a title, a topic, editors, contributors, and an audience.
The goal as a submitter to a blog carnival is of course to reach out to new people who may not have heard of you otherwise. Blog Carnival tends to be a hub of different blog carnivals, and has a wide selection of topics for blog carnivals you may be interested in. (However, I found more defunct carnivals than current ones on my own search.)
I submitted my post to The Carnival of Entrepreneurs (#15). Will it drive traffic to my blog? I’ll let you know in a few weeks. Stay tuned.
