How to create a successful blog? Part 1: Using link carnivals
June 18, 2006 | Filed Under How to create a successful blog, Practical tips
This is a brand new blog. Nobody reads it. In order to make it noticed in the blogosphere I had to do some research. I will try the ideas I read about and post about the success or lack thereof.
A search on Google for “how to create successful blog” & “hot to make successful blog” gave me some tips
There is a garden of information available on the subject, so I happily dug in.
Participate in link carnivals
I started by picking the flower of Harvey of Bad Example. In his post about getting blogs noticed he introduced me to the idea of a “Link Carnival.” A link carnival is basically something like a “free for all link” where you can get your relevant post mentioned among other posts by the carnival owner/blog owner.
First, I tried to get noticed by the Carnival of entrepreneurship.
I found a carnival that fitted my site content: Carnival of entrepreneurship. I sent them my post about the firewood business. I sent the tip using a very handy “submit your blog post link to the carnivals tool.” I eagerly await the results!
I will follow up with a post about other link carnivals I participated in.
