  1. Hi, I'm starting a blog carnival about the Beatles that comes out with it's first edition Sept. 3. I was wondering if you have any tips for me to help promote it. I'm going through BlogCarnival.com but haven't gotten much of a response yet.
    Thanks,

  2. I started out doing a lot of research to put together the carnival. I found the blog posts, and then I would contact the blog owner and let them know I featured them in the blog carnival and if they would like to regularly submit I gave how they could. It took be a full day, or more, when I first started the carnival. It is not easy getting it established. You have to spend time contacting people with appropriate blogs and let them know about your carnival.

    Good luck!

  3. Great information, thanks!
    I've had a couple of people submit articles to me and I've thought about just finding relevant articles and posting them on the carnival. I wasn't sure if this was the correct way to do it or not. Thanks for the confirmation. Have you tried submitting your blog to Instapundit.com?
