Social Media Marketing Strategy: How To Send A Webpage Using The StumbleUpon Toolbar

Every blogger should have a StumbleUpon account. StumbleUpon is a great networking tool because it offers a unique opportunity to reach the target audience you’re searching in little time. StumbleUpon send your website or video directly to people that have similar interests.

The inherent capacity for StumbleUpon to send traffic is often under-estimated, particularly by new bloggers. Jeremy Schoemaker’s of Shoemoney.com has wrote an interesting article on how an her recent post titled “ evolution of my office over the last several years “ has made send more users on her website through the StumbleUpon community.

From the image below you can see that not only did Stumble Upon send more users but they stuck round to visit more pages (only a 26.23% bounce rate vs farks crappy 87.74%).

How To Connect With Other Bloggers.

To have a chance to be connected with other bloggers, you need to vote their content which you can do by clicking on the stumble button. The most important factor that bring the blog up on the stumbleupon list is getting a good stumbles. If a stumbler see straight away a good content then they’re likely to stick around your blog. Also, I think there are some users that would gladly to visit your site if you give them more return traffic through your StumbleUpon page.

Three Ways Why StumbleUpon Can Be A Great Networking Tool

Here, I reassumed the three main features of what looks to be a very promising social news and community platform.

Speedy. Through the toolbar you can send the webpage to multiple users with simple clicks.

Networking. Allows its StumbleUpon users to participate into the community to send and receive content from friends. Just as with social networking services such as Facebook, user can create a profile and add friends by menu toolbar. It’s a great way to socialize and deepen online relationships and connections.

Increase Your Traffic. It is the one thing that anyone with a website hopes for again and again. The fact you can make know your web pages to more users don’t mean that you will get extra strumbles, but these community pages are visited by thousand of people every day and could be interesting to attract new visitors to your blog.

How To send A Stumbleupon Web Page

If you want to sending to anyone a specific web page using your StumbleUpon account, it’s extremely easy. You must go on the web page, you must only click on the “send to” button on the toolbar and pick a username.

Well, now you find above a list of the StumbleUpon users with a little red number you see brackets beside the username. It shows how many times you have sent the specific user a page.

Once you choose a user which you want to send the webpage, click up the icon and a window pop up will appears in front to you, where you can put a little note of web page you want to send.

On the image below you can see that I sent an articles for Road Geek, an active Stumbleupon users and friends. Click the “send to” button and you have made all.

Now, there are two main things you need to verify: Mutual friends and your fans.

The mutual friend. These are the best friends of your friends page. You can add many of your friends as you like to the list and they will always be shown at the top of your friends page in alphabetical order.

The fans. In little words there are users that have added you as a friends but whom you have not befriended in return.

Drive Traffic Back To Your Blogwith Great Stumbles.

When you vote up a site that hasn’t been voted up before, you ‘Discover’ it. This means that you write its first review and your profile information appears in the sidebar of the reviews page for that item. Great content can drive a lot of (influential) stumlers to the page profiling you they rush to vote and review it. Some of them will be drawn into visiting your profile, simply because you have such great taste.

  I wanted to try the service, so I used the search function, and here the result(look the image above). The only problem with my site is that the service doesn't show my latest favicon, but the favicon of my Frugal theme yet. Maybe has need to be upgraded to get the latest favicon logo.
  
  If you have an Alexa rank below 1,000,000, you are able to identifying the favicon of your website and the websites you know. Also, it allows you to zoom in and out. Through their search box you should be able to find your favicon in a few second.

- Email Marketing, A Great Way To Grow Your Online Business - 2010-08-29 04:01:03 -
  An electronic mailing list, is a list of names and addresses which are often used for widespread distribution of information to many Internet users.
  
  Typically refers to four things:
  
  1. A list of e-mail addresses; 2. The people (“subscribers”) that receiving mail at those addresses, 3. the publications (e-mail messages) sent to those addresses.
  
  Now, if you don’t have traffic to you site, it’s similar to opening a store in the middle of the desert! No one will find you. So the biggest ways that you have to know so much to make money with the affiliate program, is how get traffic to your website.
  
  Why?
  
  high traffic = high money
  
  Well, one of the most easiest methods to have success as marketer online is to create an good advertising campaign.
  
  But what does it means the word ‘advertising campaign‘?
  
  In a nutshell is a list of advertisement messages that share a single information which make up an integrated marketing communication and it’s important to directing people on your blog/site.
  
  A mailing list is one of the most powerful marketing tools you’ll ever have in your blog. With a mailing list you could know anyone are and what they are interested in. You can manage subscriptions and send them information about your website and invite them back to your site again and again.
  
  When someone signs up to your mailing list, it receive email from administrators. By offering unique contents is the better ways to receive many subscriptions, also if the trouble is that a lot of people are lazy and they enter their names in lowercase.
  
  If you get your visitors to subscribe to a mailing list, you can also getting people to click on ads. Is one of the better ways to increase your profit dramatically and very fast.
  
  Normally, the web form your autoresponder provides you looks like this:
  
  I’ve been using this look and it works fine, but many people also add a red lipstick round the button.
  
  Some online products and services offer to their customers the software for keeping in a simple spreadsheet all subscription.Without that, your site is never going to be successful.
  
  Firstly you need the software to bulk Email Marketing Services. If you don’t want to pay a $19/month with Aweber, you can use PHPlist. You can also use FeedBlitz which allows you to monitors RSS feeds and Web URLs and provide greater reach for feed publishers.
  
  FeedBlitz manages subscriptions, circulation tracking, testing, and is compatible with all major blogging platforms and services such as Blogger, Typepad and FeedBurner.
