Blog Carnivals

Wow; I have just heard about Blog Carnivals and my brain nearly exploded!  What an amazing idea!  It is the first time I had heard of Blog Carnivals so it shows what a sheltered life I lead!
 
I am currently a member of John Thornhill’s MasterClass and one of my fellow students Mandy Allen has just floated the idea of running a monthly Blog Carnival.  It sounds amazing fun and a great way to build friends and backlinks.  I have blogs on several servers scattered around the world and have often wondered about how I can use this diversity of IP Addresses to provide link juice to help others and this looks an ideal, and fun, way to achieve this.
 
For those, like myself, new to Blog Carnivals, it appears that they consist of an organised blogfest where participants each write a post on their blog on a pre-defined topic and submit their nominated post to the Carnival Organiser who checks the post meets the defined criteria and then, on the pre-defined date, publishes a list of posts allowing everyone to engage in a massive blogfest visiting, and commenting on, the posts of all the participants.  It sounds an absolutley fun way to build relationships, and share link juice, with fellow blogging adicts.
 
I am looking forward to participating in my first Blog Carnival around 1 May so stay tuned to this blog for a laugh at my pathetic attempt at trying to register as a participant, my attempt at writing a suitable Blog Post, and of course, more exact details of the Blog Carnival when it launches so you can unleash your blogging passion by visiting all the participants blogs!
 
Lets go for it!
Ian.

Review of Blogging To The Bank 2010

Posted by Ian  Published in Blog Tutorials, Hardcore Blogging

By now I think most people in the world know about blogs.

What most don’t know as there is a great income to be made as well for free.

Rob Benwell is only a mere 24 years old and has already made several million dollars. Early in 2006 he shared his secrets with the world in his highly successful Blogging To The Bank ebook and has made making money online a whole lot easier for everyone.

Just over two years after the success of his first book and over 20,000 copies sold of it and the 2007 2.0 update he is now releasing his third version of Blogging to the Bank helping to wet our appetites and keep the fat bucks rolling in.

I got this book as soon as I could and it covers quite a lot of new information and techniques to adapt your blog to the new demands of the major search engines. Many of the techniques in the old book are now dated and don’t work so well. This is why Blogging To The Bank 2010 is a godsend.

Also this guy doesn’t consider himself to be a “guru”, he’s just a normal guy who wants to help the little guys out. I find this a nice change as he doesn’t talk “down” to you like most of the other guys do. He explains everything in a nice simple manor so everyone can understand.

Saying that when he “goes off on one” it may take a few reads until you get it but when you do it’s just shear genius. Some of the topics in my opinion could have been covered a little more, then others went into great detail. You also get his 5 Blogging Commandments For 2010 that you must follow to give you blogs the greatest success in 2009 and keep them future proofed. This should be printed out and put on the wall of every online marketer without a doubt! His book starts off with market research (so that you are making the most of your time) to building your blogging empire. Everything is covered in this new outing that helps bloggers withtodays online issues regarding making the all mighty search engines happy.

Final Verdict: if you are out there in the blogging world and want to make money the easy way then I highly recommend Blogging To The Bank 2010.

Why work harder than you need to as the new techniques are there ready for you to simply implement.

Are you a computer addict?

Posted by Ian  Published in Blogging For Beginners, Hardcore Blogging

  1. Do you talk to your computer?
  2. Does your house contain more computers than humans?
  3. Can you remember the day you brought your first computer but forget your families birthdays?
  4. Does your Address Book contain details of all your family and friends neatly arranged in alphabetical order… of website address rather than by name?
  5. Do you spend more time sitting in front of your computer than you do in front of the TV?
  6. Is your favourite film “The Matrix”?
  7. Did your computer cost more than your car?
  8. Do you think “doing housework” means cleaning your computer screen?
  9. Do you start shaking and break out in a cold sweat if your internet connection goes down for more than 5 minutes?
  10. When you go on holiday is your laptop the first thing you put in your suitcase?

If you can sympathize with any of the above then welcome to my Blog!
