Maximize Online Income: Carnival Style
Recently I have read about how blog carnivals can do great things for your traffic. Not only have I noticed a variety of bloggers using carnivals to their advantage, but some of the articles within these carnivals have been extremely well written and provided a lot of useful information. I had not heard about blog carnivals until I had been blogging for a couple weeks. My first experience came when I was reading an article by Steve Pavlina. He explains how beneficial blog carnivals were for his website:
In my early traffic-building days, I’d do carnivals submissions once a week, and it helped a great deal in going from nothing to about 50,000 visitors per month. You still have to produce great content, but carnivals give you a free shot at marketing your unknown blog.
With numbers like those it seems very difficult to pass up. On top of that, it is completely free to do. Therefore, I have decided to create a blogging carnival with the title Maximize Online Income.
Take a look and feel free to submit your own articles. The first edition of Maximize Online Income is set to be published on June 23, with all submissions due by June 22.
I am hoping to accomplish a few things with this carnival. If I can increase my blog traffic, compile a list of articles that provide interesting and relevant content to help readers maximize online income, and meet a few new bloggers, I will feel as though it has been a success. We will see what happens in the next couple weeks.

a lot of people are talking about blogcarnival. I think it’s a very smart way to get some exposure. Most of the traffics I get from carnivals tend to stay longer than other sources
Yeah, thats what I’ve been hearing. I decided to give them a try. I have submitted a few articles, and as you can see I am also hosting a carnival as well.
