The Carnival of African Enterprising (4th Edition)

I have the honor of hosting this 4th edition of the Carnival of African Enterprising for September. Each host of a Carnival has some freedom in how they choose to put their piece together. In mine, I will showcase the most interesting articles on African business and economy that were submitted.

So what is a blog carnival anyway? Bloggers submit their best articles to that months host via the Blog Carnival website. The hosting blogger then sifts through the dozens (or hundreds) of entries and pulls out the ones that he/she thinks are the best. When it goes live, the blogger does their best to summarize the story and link to the blogger on each specific blog post. (read more on Wikipedia)

Take a look at the activity behind the first three - first at African Path (June 6), and AfricanLoft (July 6), and current White African (Aug 5th)

The September Carnival will be held here at Nubian Cheetah on Sept 6th. Please take the time to submit your best article to the Carnival of African Enterprising by the end of this month. There’s nothing like getting on a Blog Carnival to become part of the discussion and get more people noticing you.

If you would like to host a future Carnival, contact Benin Mwangi and he’ll set you up with a date.
