Time for a change: 2 Blogs OUT who’s in?

Well, it’s time for the regular update to the Top-20 Money Making Blogs List. And there are two candidates for removal.

Unfortunately, Tim Schroeder’s Emonitized which was recently added stop publishing just a few weeks later.  Blog focuses on affiliate marketing, blogging, and much more. He’s got a lot of great posts about this and I’ll hopefully be featuring much more on his blog. It’s still worth searching his archives, but I frequently have PageLoadErrors on his site.

The other site that is gracefully making an exit from this list is JohnCow. I must confess as a former regular reader of that blog… I have totally lost the conversation. I don’t know what JohnCow is on about most of the time, I no longer read his blog on a regular day, so I feel that this is not one I can recommend any longer. Worse, the blogging style has gone from one thing to another. I’m wondering if Jason has now sold or outsourced the entire blog to someone else. Traffic is still holding up there, though.

Any suggestions on who can replace these? I’ve got some good ones in my bookmarks, but I’d like some suggestions… So comment away!

24th Carnival of Making REAL Money – October 19th, 2008

This is the October 19th edition of the Carnival of Making Money Online. I’m proud to offer this limited list of top quality articles that are vetted from the original list of submissions. It’s always a pleasure to read through these submissions. With apologies for the delay in publishing this carnival!

  1. Aussie Investor presents Stock Market Education For Beginners – Learning From Your Mistakes posted at Stock Market Investing For Beginners, saying, “We all make mistakes with our investments. This article describes how you can learn valuable lessons about investing by going back and analyzing your stock market losses.”
  2. Contrarian Profits presents 4 Ways to Play the Coming Stock Market Rally posted at Contrarian Profits, saying, ““When chaos rules, invest in chaos” says The Sovereign Society’s investment director Eric Roseman. Eric’s chaos portfolio is thriving in the current market volatility. And he says anyone can make huge gains in the coming stock-market rally by applying a simple-to-follow strategy. Eric’s strategy is four-fold: 1) Hold plenty of cash in FDIC-guaranteed accounts; 2) Use it to buy up distressed assets at multi-year lows; 3) Sell into strength; 4) Invest at least 10% of your portfolio in gold.”
  3. Investing Angel presents Is Trading For You? » Free Stock Market Investing Tips posted at Stock Tips, saying, “Find out if the life of a stock trader is for you.”
  4. Joe Manausa presents Bailing Out The Banks? Actually Bailing Out America! posted at Tallahassee Real Estate Blog, saying, “While mainstream media refers to this as the “fat cat” bailout for Wall Street, you might be surprised who really needs this bailout to occur. What would happen to your job if the credit market stopped for even 1 week?”
  5. KCLau presents The Malaysian Insurance Planning Guide by Meshio.com [REVIEW] posted at KCLau’s Money Tips, saying, “A review about an ebook on insurance planning. The book is specially written to guide Malaysians on their next insurance purchase.”
  6. sherin presents How do you prepare for losing your job posted at Investment Internals, saying, “A strategy to build a financial shield to overcome all the financial problems that can affect your smooth life. It is a must article for those who fear about losing of job”
  7. Silicon Valley Blogger presents Make Money Blogging: Top Bloggers And How Much They Earn posted at The Digerati Life, saying, “I’m a problogger, and I make money blogging. Here’s an article I wrote about it too!”
  8. Terence Gillespie presents How To Sell Your House Without Using A Realtor posted at Your Optimal Blog, saying, “This is the story of what I did to sell my own house; how it happened, what worked, and what didn’t. I’ll tell you what I would do differently the next time, problems that had to be solved and tips I would offer other sellers who want to sell their house without using a realtor.”
  9. Wilfrid presents Making Money Online, Ten Things I Wish I Knew As A Beginner | Your Finish Rich Plan – A Personal Finance Blog posted at Your Finish Rich Plan, saying, “Had I had this information when I was starting out, it would have saved me a lot of time (and money)”

That concludes this edition. Submit your blog article to the next edition of carnival of making real money using our carnival submission form. Past posts and future hosts can be found on our blog carnival index page.

Technorati tags: , .

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 don’t bother to follow the policy. Well, that’s a pity because I left out some great articles this time around! 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. 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

Kenneth from Carnival of Making REAL Money
