17th Carnival of Making REAL Money: March 22nd 2008 Edition
Welcome to the March 22, 2008 edition of carnival of making real money. In many parts of the world, people are celebrating Easter; in Taiwan, it’s the 12th presidential election. In this edition, there were more than 75 submissions, from which I have been able to find about 1/3 that are worth presenting.
Thanks to the writers for the best articles! Well done. And I was notified earlier this week that we are going to be featured on the front page of Blog Carnival, so that’s great news! I’ll include a screenshot when I see it! With markets in turmoil, concerns about valuations, and darkening economic clouds in much of the Western world, it’s Asia that is beginning to pick up the slack. The next edition will feature an Asian slant with articles about Asia’s development being featured.

Update
: In an effort to create something more useful, I’m reducing the number of articles in each issue by providing as much variety of content. With so many articles on “making money online blogs”, sales and letter writing, I’m now reducing the number presented to balance the other content. So make sure your writing is sharp and to the point if you want to submit! Articles on how to blog, how to sales copy, etc. are best suited for other carnivals.
Notes on Submitting Articles
It seems that a number of people just don’t bother to read the policy. Well, it doesn’t matter. The policy is still enforced. If you have any questions, just see the most recent Carnival for what’s accepted. So hurry… get your submissions in!
I’m definitely looking for articles that are readable, inspiring, and well-written for readers who may or may not have much investing or financial knowledge. Articles will cover making money in the real world, as well as online; being in business; making investments; making money through smart decisions; and aspects of personal finance. It is NOT about dieting, surveys, drugs, selling things, what you ate last night or any of a myriad of irrelevant topics. If you are not sure what is accepted, read the previous carnivals.
As such, …
- Your article must be original and previously unpublished in this carnival. I like to maintain a variety of sources and topics, I will only accept one article per person per blog. — If you submit MORE THAN TWO articles to any edition of this carnival, ALL your submissions will be eliminated without hesitation. Repeated multiple submissions to this carnival will mean that your articles and/or your behavior are spam-enough to blacklist your blog from this carnival.
- In short, submit ONE article from one blog once only.
Spam: Articles must be unique, ideally hosted on a full-blog (not on a subdomain of blogspot, blogger, etc.), and cannot have been published in more than two other carnivals. If you are serious enough about your blog, then find a real blog host on a real domain. - Comments MUST be enabled on any post submitted to the carnival and registration must NOT be required: I’m hoping that we generate interest in the submissions and that traffic generates comments. Let’s not frustrate our readers.
- Additional reasons for not inclusion: popup/popover/popunder windows, URLs that time-out, missing articles or moved pages, articles that make NO sense, any music/tracks/voice-overs that auto-play, articles that REQUIRE registration before reading and/or commenting.
- All editorial decisions are final. I will not answer questions about why a particular article was or was not included. If you didn’t get in, submit again for the next issue. Articles that are rejected twice will be excluded.
In short, I run this blog carnival in my free time, I receive no money for this activity, so I’d appreciate as much consideration as possible. My patience is running a little thin with certain submissions, and if I keep getting these I will publish a blacklist of bloggers who are not permitted to publish here.
It would be nice if you acknowledge the blog carnival somewhere on your website… Anywhere, it doesn’t matter: in a post, in the post you submitted, in the blogroll, … etc.. or you can do a separate post when the post is published. This helps to drive traffic to the carnival, where people can find your posts!
Best Wishes
