Drive Traffic by Being a Carnie

To get paid for blogging, you'll need traffic. How do you get that?

One great way is to participate in blog carnivals. They are basically a travelling collection of blog posts on a different subject. Most of them happen at a regular interval, and bloggers take turns "hosting" the carnival.

You can find carnivals in your nice by checking out Blog Carnival. Use their online forms to easily submit posts to carnivals you find.

Also, don't overlook being a carnival host. Carnivals only run through the contributions of bloggers like you. Being the host entails some work, but you will usually end up with several links from blogs that might not usually link to you.
