If you blog about the stock market, securities or trading you should think about hosting the Carnival of Securities for a week. Besides being the one who chooses what the best blog posts are you also get the benefit of a lot more readers coming to your site. It’s a great chance to become part of the community and start engaging in meaningful conversation.
Below are some tips and answers to common questions from the FAQ:
Q. Who can host the carnival?
A. Anyone that regularly submits posts to the carnival can become a host. The key words here are “regularly submits posts,” since it wouldn’t be fair for blogs that don’t participate regularly to host the carnival if they are not sharing in doing the work by writing posts, submitting, and being active in the carnival.
Q. I want to host a future Carnival of Securities — how do I do that?
A. Contact us to get on the list and then start submitting posts to the carnival on a frequent basis. Remember, only frequent contributors to the carnival can host a carnival.
Q. What is involved in hosting a carnival?
A. You will need to set aside about 2-3 hours to read and pick the best posts that were submitted to you. Then you create a post on your blog, summarizing and linking to the top 10-20 posts. Publish your carnival post by 3 P.M. (EST) Tueday and then sit back and watch the traffic come to your site.
Q. What is the schedule of who hosts the carnival?
A. You can check the schedule here on the Carnival of Real Estate site under “Carnival Hosts” in the right-hand navigation to see who hosted in the past as well as who is coming up.
