Day 3 – Promote a Post

Take a little time to look at
yesterdays post and ask yourself where it might be appropriate to
promote it. If you look at the post and don’t think that it is really
worthy of promotion anywhere – feel free to choose another relevant
post to do it with. If you don’t have one – spend some time today
writing something that you feel IS link worthy and then try promoting
that.

I promote by submitting most of my posts to various carnivals. I occasionally ask others to promote some of my posts on Tipp it. I requested more promotion previously when we had the google forum. Occasionally I ask some of my blogging buddies to promote specific posts. I regularly submit links to Obllivious Investor and Len Penzo.

Feel free to send me links to promote your posts, I really enjoy promoting others posts!

Hey guys,

 

I submitted my list post to Tipd.  I would love to get a tip if you would be so kind – http://tipd.com/Personal-Finan…..to-wealth/

 

Do you guys know of any sites like Tip'd but for business related articles?

 

Thanks,

Fred

Can someone provide a list of personal finance blog carnivals? I know of two, but it sounds like there are a lot more that I should be submitting articles to.

I regularly submit to Best of Money Carnival, Carnival of Personal Finance, Carnival of Money Stories, and Festival of Frugality.  There are a ton at Blog Carnival dot com and you can search by Money and Finance:  http://blogcarnival.com/bc/clist.php?id=0&directory_id=16&keyword=&sort=4

I just submitted to 2 carnivals.  I also always post a link on my twitter.

 

Questions… is there another place to submit to carnivals besides blogcarnival.com? 

I've submitted to lots of carnivals, but I don't always get my post accepted.  Is there a way to increase my odds?  I always follow the rules that they give!

In regards to acceptance odds, I find that it completely depends on the host.  I only seem to be accepted 50% of the time too…I have no idea if they just run out of time and delete my entry or if they think my post sucks.  I decide not to worry about it and just try again the next week since there is way too much drama in my life already, lol.

I just tried something different for me.  I put part of my last post on facebook.  I'm crazy new to using facebook for business – does it look ok?

I find my luck is better if I submit to carnivals early in the week.  If I wait til Friday or the weekend then I almost never get in.  Almost everyone waits til the last minute to submit so if you can be ahead of the pack you can at least get your post read by the host.

This is a great tip! I hadn't thought about the time of the week influencing it, but I'll give it a try.

I have a plugin that makes everything I post to Facebook show up on Twitter. I'm not sure how I did it, followed some tutorial, but it makes it easy to promote once and hit twice.
