Additional Notes on Submitting Articles

Please note, though, that the terms of the Carnival have changed slightly. If you have any questions, just see the most recent Carnival for what’s accepted. So hurry… get your submissions in! Check the Carnival of Making Real Money for current and complete guidelines.

• Your article must be original and previously unpublished in this carnival. One article per person/blog only. I like to maintain variety of sources and topics. Additional articles may be resubmitted in the next edition. Multiple submissions to the same blog will be deleted, possibly including the first instance. So submit ONE article from one blog once only.
• No spam or articles that are pitching something for sale. This is not an advertising carnival. Your article MAY, however, include links as you wish…
• Please make sure that you aren’t posting irrelevant articles! Or if you think it’s relevant, or off-beat, highlight its relevance to this carnival.
• 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.
• 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.

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
