Both those guys have strategically recommended and reviewed different things just raking in commissions with their traffic. They actively work on ‘converting’ their traffic into dollars in every way possible.  A Brand: Successful bloggers have built their blog in to a brand that you would know anywhere. Shoemoney’s got his blue Superman logo that you would know anywhere, and Probloggers ‘atom P’ logo stands out as well. I noticed that John Chow only recently got a nice looking ‘JC’ logo for his blog as well. John Chow has his famous ‘Make Money Online’ eBook, Shoemoney just did Elite Retreat and own ‘Shoemoney Media’, Problogger helps fun ‘B5 Media’.

If you can not find a unique template or don’t know how to change your design, consider outsourcing to have it done.  Know your readers – Just because you have a blog, don’t put yourself on a pedestal above everyone else. Get to know your visitors by responding to their comments, become friends with them and in return they will spread the word about you and your blog.  Create reader friendly content – Make sure that your content speaks to all of your potential audience. The organizer usually will post the carnival on a neutral site designed to list blog carnivals, like BlogCarnival.com. This website will list the upcoming, current and past carnivals in a easy to use format. During the process of building your blog, you will become an expert on the subject. Few people would want to make or would follow through that kind effort on a subject that bores them.  The next thing to consider is how much time you have for posting to your blog. Make a plan and hold yourself to it. The usual recommendation is as often as possible. Certainly weekly is the outside limit.
