Welcome! I’ve decided to organize and host a weekly carnival that shares the same purpose as this blog - to improve the quality and success rate of all things related to personal development. Following is explained what a carnival is, what the specifics of this particular one is, how and what kind of entries bloggers can submit and why this concept benefits all people involved, from reader to submitter to organizer.

A carnival aims to collect great articles from various bloggers and put them all together in a single blog post filled with the links to the submissions. The carnival organizer decides upon what kind of entries are wanted, how often and what kind of a description there is to each article, if any. Consider a blog carnival as a place to find great content from various authors where you can find not only great insights on the given subject, but also new blogs you want to bookmark or subscribe to.

I will publish a new carnival every Thursday, which means that the deadline for all submissions is Wednesday. Entries submitted after that will be evaluated for the following week’s carnival. There’s a limit of one entry per blogger and it is up to each submitter that the given information entered into the form is accurate. Nothing will be altered unless given a good reason. Entries are divided into seven categories presented below.

Blog optimizing & monetizing

Consciousness & Understanding

Finances & Investing

Health & Exercising

Motivation & Productivity

Psychology & Relationships

Widgets & Software

For now, there will be a maximum of five entries per category and the outlook of the carnival entries on this blog is subject to change. All carnivals will be posted under the [Links] category. To directly go to the submission form, click here.

For readers, the benefit of carnivals comes from the value of packing together several great articles into one place. Furthermore, readers are given a greater view of the current magnitude of the blogosphere within the given topic. For submitters, the value lies in increasing the traffic to their blogs and getting constructive feedback on their articles. Remember to leave comments! As for the organizer or host, traffic building is also a great motivator. Personally I will also receive the benefit of social bookmarking and pleasure of reading lots of great submissions that drive to excel even further.

This is it for now, Be sure to return for updates and upcoming carnival entries.
Here’s the list that I’ll keep updating.
