Blog Carnival Submission Tips

Some months ago I told you about the idea of Blog Carnivals where you can submit your articles to a topic specific "online magazine".

Thanks to a recent contact with Amanda of the Amanda Moore Virtual Assistant blog, I have no been encouraged to give Blog Carnivals another try.

It seems that Amanda runs her own Blog Carnival and she put out a call for articles. I left a comment asking whether she found that the Blog Carnivals generated traffic.

This prompted Amanda to leap into action and in response she wrote not one but two blog postings back to help a) convince me that traffic wasn't the only metric I should be judging the Blog Carnival on and b) writing a submission tips article to help me and other people submit to the Blog Carnivals easier and quicker.

Links to both are below:

What a great responsive blogger Amanda is and a credit to the blogger community. She has a very good blog and I have added it to my RSS feed

But the moral to the story is that you never know what can happen when you leave a comment and start a conversation. Amanda is now promoting my blog and I have returned the favour.
