Going Hollywood: Get discovered with StumbleUpon
You need to generate more traffic to your blog, but don’t want to sort through a bunch of SEO and internet marketing advice to figure out how to get eyes on your content.
Enter StumbleUpon: In our opinion, the most effective blog marketing tool to date.
What’s a “stumble”?
The great thing about the internet is that it’s full of resources…lots and lots of resources. The bad thing? You have to deal with a lot of duds before finding gems. With one simple “stumble”, you can eliminate the long sift through bad content and go straight to the relevant and interesting.
StumbleUpon takes casual searching to a much more efficient level. If you have a new blog (or an old one in need of a traffic boost) use StumbleUpon to get people to discover it. Every time a person hits “stumble” in their toolbar, their system searches for a new site based that individual’s chosen interests.
Paid discovery
StumbleUpon offers something different than search engine ads or Facebook PPC: paid discovery. The keyword here is “discovery.” Their inexpensive, pay-per-stumble program allows a blog (or any other web content) to be efficiently discovered by specific targeted audiences. Once a StumbleUpon user discovers new content they can give it a “thumbs-up” or “thumbs-down” review.
Getting a thumbs up
If you can’t tell, we’re believers in what StumbleUpon offers. But with all of its perks and simplicity, there is a catch to StumbleUpon: you need good content. It’s pretty easy to spot a poser on the web which is why you need quality content. StumbleUpon presents your blog exactly as it is, allowing it to either shine or fall flat.
To get a thumbs up from “stumblers”, you have to provide valuable content. The best way to do that is to deliver good information in your own voice. If the reader likes it, you’ll get rewarded; every time another person stumbles on your site, they’ll see that you got a thumbs up. Maybe even two or three. With fresh content and a passionate delivery, you can use StumbleUpon to drive visitors to your site with a simple click.
