Carnivals and useful connections. . .
Useful business connections crop up in many different ways. When you’re talking to people; when you’re emailing people; when you’re visiting other websites and at carnivals. Really - you will see why in a moment.
And when I find connections I think might be interesting I like to share. Before starting this blog I only shared with friends and colleagues who I frequently emailed. But now I can share with you. . .
And this post is not only sharing the links it is also saying Thanks (again!) because all of these links go to blog carnivals who have shown their support by posting a link to entries on this blog.
What is a blog carnival?
Without getting too technical, a blog carnival is a collection of interesting blog posts on a subject or area of interest. If, for example, you have a specific interest (business or hobby) you can search for a carnival on that topic. When you visit the website hosting the carnival you find links to interesting articles and blog posts the host has gathered together for you. It saves you trawling hundreds of different websites looking for good content to read.
The person acting as host invites people to submit their blog posts for the carnival. The host checks the content of the post to see if it is relevant to the carnival subject and would give valuable insights to the carnival visitors.
It is a useful source of information, thoughts and comments that is easily accessible to anyone.
In fact by following the posts from some of these articles I have discovered useful material; some of which I have already discussed in previous posts on this site.
Finding blog carnivals
You can often find blog carnivals by following the link in a comment below a post on your favourite blog site. (There are quite a few at the bottom of my earlier posts).
You can search on Google (or the other search engines) for blog carnivals. Simply type blog carnival followed by the subject you are interested in.
You can check out the blog carnivals listed below. These are all carnivals that have selected and shown posts from here. If the topics I write about here are useful to you it may be that some of the other contributors to these carnivals also have good material you’d like to read.
Let me know if you find anything interesting to share with your fellow visitors to this blog.
Thanking the Blog Carnival Hosts
Hosting a blog carnival is time-consuming. I’d like to express my appreciation to the hosts of these carnivals for their support.
If you host a carnival that has displayed one or more of my posts and it isn’t shown here - please accept my apologies for missing you off this list but rest assured your link is showing below the post you included in your carnival.
