Submission rules
Please follow these rules with your submission to the Carnival of Debt Reduction. The host may reject your submission outright for not following these rules.
- Your post must be about debt reduction. This is the Carnival of Debt Reduction, after all. Personal debt reduction stories are the best. Posts directly related to debt reduction strategies are good. Posts that are good personal finance posts but not related to debt reduction belong in another carnival.
- Your post must be recent. Posts must have been published no more than two weeks prior to submission. In other words, if your post was submitted on August 15th, it must have been published on your site no earlier than August 1st of that year. (The host, with appropriate notice, can waive this rule if he or she wants a special carnival of, say, your best debt reduction post ever.)
- Your post must not have been submitted to any other edition of any other blog carnival.
- Your post must not be overly commercial or of poor quality. People like to read good writing. They don’t like to read “articles” stuffed with keywords or overt sales pitches.
- One submission per blog, per week.
If your article is accepted into the carnival, you are required to link back to it sometime within two weeks of the carnival’s post date. A couple of easy ways to do this are:
- at the end of the post you submitted (i.e., “Thanks to so-and-so for including this article in this week’s Carnival of Debt Reduction. Check it out here!” (and include a link))
- in a weekly roundup, if you do those (like this one)
Thanks!
