Don’t Miss Out: Carnival #103
The Carnival is coming to Clever Dude on Monday, and he’ll be taking submissions through Sunday evening. If you’ve written an excellent article for your blog on the topic of personal finance, don’t hesitate to submit it for inclusion. The earlier, the better.
Now Taking Requests for Future Hosts
It’s time once again for the Carnival of Personal Finance to take requests for hosts in the third quarter (July, August and September) of 2007. Hosting the Carnival of Personal Finance is a great way to build traffic, be involved with the community, and showcase your creativity.
Before you take the plunge and request to host, make sure you read and understand the requirements of hosting. Please realize that hosting the Carnival can be a lot of work. There are often between 60 and 90 submissions that must be read. The host must at the least choose several as “Editor’s Choice” and provide quick commentary or summaries.
If you applied for a previous quarter but were not added to the schedule, please fill in the form so we can get your updated stats. If you’ve hosted already this year, feel free to request to host again.
Here is the form to apply for hosting.
