Bloggers benefit from having their posts read by a much wider audience, often extending far beyond the blogging community. The carnival host benefits from added traffic, and from being associated with a prestigious carnival supported by the blogopshere's leading bloggers.
Everyone benefits from the one stop shopping for some of the best recent posts by some of the finest bloggers. Readers are also introduced to some great new blogs that they may have overlooked in the past.
It's important to note that the number and popularity of blog carnivals has grown over time. As a result, most bloggers can readily find a blogging event suited to their style of posts and blogging topics.
For a list of some of the major carnivals, and a handy one stop entry form, is provided by The Conservative Cat. This is a great one stop entry drop, for all your blog post entries, for every blog carnival.
Carnival of the Capitalists entrants can always use the handy entry form at Gongol.com where all you have to do is fill in the blanks.
You can also e-mail your post entries directly the week's host.
Business and personal finance blogger, and blog carnival fan FMF of Free Money Finance, has written a must read post on the benefits of entering and hosting one or more of the many blog carnivals. The post is rather long, but is very comprehensive. It's everything you ever wanted to know about blog carnivals and many more besides. You never have to be afraid to ask, or to enter a blog carnival again!
Happy entering.
I'll see you and your posts at the carnvival.
Save me some popcorn and cotton candy!
