In this article series we are trying to cover social media marketing from Twitter to Pinterest.
This series of posts will detail each different social media site as much as possible. You can use
this as a mini- course on social media marketing. You might want to bookmark each of these
article posts for future reference.
This of course is an abbreviated article to get it all in one post. If you want a more complete
course on each subject, we are including a link for you to subscribe to the entire series which
includes course information on 8 social media sites.
Now Let’s Get Into Marketing On The Social Media Site
StumbleUpon
* First, understand that people will stumble upon your website and you will want to be sure that
what they see is a good looking website as soon as they click on the link to your site having
stumbled upon it.
* Like most other social media sites, your profile is important on StumbleUpon. Therefore,
include everything that will make you look as good as possible. Since it is a networking site, get
as many friends and contacts as you can and leave links on as many sites as possible. The
idea is to get linked back to immediately.
* You can use your friends to help out which is a fun way to scoop up more contacts, but use
this with sparingly so as not to annoy. Make sure your posts and topics are good quality, your
rating and followers will grow when your
content is informative
and imaginative.
* You can kill your page with spam and ads which is a real turn off for stumblers to your page.
Again about content, customize your content to a targeted audience to gain solid followers that

2. will turn into sales and referrals.
* Post articles as often as you can, even daily is possible thereby keeping everything fresh and
updated. If you can get your StumbleUpon page featured on the site, it’s like striking gold, more
contacts, more thumbs ups.
* Like other social media marketing, use of RSS feeds is important to help keep StumbleUpon
visitors coming back over and over. You can also add an email subscription link or other ways to
keep them interested.
* Try not to sound or look like you are selling, keep it social while subtly driving home your point
which is “Buy This”. Automation tools can be risky and make your page look Robot Like, a
definite no no.
More On StumbleUpon Marketing – Try Not To Stumble And Fall
* Revisit your posts often to see if they could use some editing. Ask your friends to look over
your posts and let you know what they think and how you might improve on those posts. Don’t
forget to blog about your StumbleUpon Page and on other websites, forums, ezines and
wherever there could be more traffic.
* Use photos and videos to the maximum you can as this will increase your standings and
traffic. use your sidebar to feature recent pages to add to your stature. Your articles should
make people excited and happy. Actually “fear” can get your point across as well and
sometimes with more impact.
* Comment on other Stumblers’ pages and offer reviews that show you are interested and care
about what others are saying too. It takes time to build up
ratings and a stumbler base of people. Take your time, it won’t happen overnight unless you
create something so interesting it goes viral.
* Enable “Search Views” for hits from search engines. Also note that there are a ton of tools
and add-ons out there for you to use with StumbleUpon and many are free. Your URL should be
memorable as well as your basic title. This is what brands you and makes you unforgettable.

3. * If you can be the first to link to new interesting sites, you will be considered a reliable
stumbler and your contacts will refer you more often. The wider your expertise is with respect to
multiple niches or topics, the better for you. Mention StumbleUpon in your posts as stumblers
seem to like that.
* While linking to other peoples home page is good, linking to pages with cool pictures and
articles within their site is even better. A captivating title is paramount to your posts in order to
effectively grab attention and create interest. Thank everyone you can who stumble on to you
as this can get them to recommend your page to other stumblers.
* Create long posts with many links which will grab more content for you and more referrals too.
Be yourself and interact like you would in person. Making a good first impression is the best way
to go. You can automate a lot of this process. Check here for social media marketing tools
