When I first started blogging I saw mentions about Blog Carnivals and wanted to host or attend one. What I did not know was how powerful these Blog Carnivals were for networking and learning. You visit the blogs on the host blog and read the posts. Then you comment.
Now I don’t have to tell you how powerful blog comments are on your blog and the links that connect with tblog carnivals, he bloggers blog. That will produce some good link action. Plus you can read about the powerfully insightful and diverse bloggers You can also study how their blogs are designed and how they monetize their sites.
So here is my challenge to you. I am going to post a link to a current Blog Carnival. Please consider doing the following:
- Visit this host site for the current Blog Carnival
- Stop and look at this very well designed site hosting the Blog Carnival. Make a comment
- Visit at least 3 other blog sites in the Blog Carnival
- Think about contacting the host of the Blog Carnival and see how you can have the next party.
- Finally, connect via RSS feed to sites you want to keep in touch with.
Let me know how you enjoyed the party!
Hi Rosie — thanks for referring our Carnival and stopping by Gen Plus and taking the time to comment. We started our carnival (Blogging Boomers Carnival) about 3 years ago — and a lot of the original group are still writing, at least, a couple of times a week. We are at 165 weeks of publishing (!) and I have to say it extends your readership by being introduced by other carnival members. A lot of dedication and time, but we LOVE it. And every one of us LOVES getting comments. So please stop on by as often as you like. Your comments are always welcome!
Janet at Gen Plus!
Thank you, Janet, for all your hard work. I appreciate it! You are a true blogging role model
