Guidelines for Hosting
We are currently accepting volunteers for hosting the Carnival of Personal Finance. Please familiarize yourself with these requirements before completing an application.
In order to be considered as a host for an edition of the Carnival of Personal Finance, the following conditions must be met:
- The host must have participated in the Carnival of Personal Finance recently.
- The host must consistently post at least three times a week on the blog being considered.
- The host must not already be on the list to host a future edition of the Carnival of Personal Finance.
The following bullet points are suggestions which will speed along the process:
- The host has successfully (and creatively) hosted the Carnival of Personal Finance or another financial Carnival in the past.
- The host has been mentioned in mainstream press.
- The blog has existed for at least a year.
The selection may not be “first-come, first-served” as exposure for participants is the primary goal of the Carnival. After being selected to host a Carnival, please be aware of these requirements:
- During the week before, announce to your readers that you will be hosting, and solicit submissions using this form.
- The deadline for submissions is 6:00 pm Eastern Time on the day before the date assigned, usually a Sunday. All submissions that are received on time should be considered.
- The Carnival must be posted by 9:00 am Eastern Time on the date assigned, usually a Monday.
- The host must weed out any multiple submissions, commercial advertisements, spam, scams or inappropriate articles.
- The host must email all selected participants to inform when the Carnival is live.
- Within the Carnival, hosts must link to the Carnival home page at some point.
- The host must highlight his or her favorite articles in some fashion, such as an “Editor’s Choice” section, providing at least a little editorial comment.
These are strong suggestions for the host:
- Email non-participating but friendly bloggers and press contacts to inform them when the Carnival is live.
- Include the Carnival of Personal Finance badge on the website.
- Be creative. The more creative the form or metaphor, the easier it is to build traffic.
- Have fun!
