Social Bookmarking - A Beginning

Marketing friends and mentors praise Social Bookmarking and Social Networking for the value it can offer to an online marketer's Internet Home Business activity. I'm finally getting onboard.

Yes, I am finally making an attempt to get on the Social Bookmarking bandwagon. I have registered at StumbleUpon and have started bookmarking sites that I like.

Friends in the know tell me not to bookmark my own sites exclusively. They say to bookmark a variety of sites. That way, it looks more natural to the social network community and to the Internet search engines. (Hint, hint: if you are a member of StumbleUpon and if you like my GT Bulmer Web Bizz Blog or my StarrBizz.com site, you are welcome to Stumble them!)

I am also told that when you bookmark a favorite site, it is important to give it a unique headline, a good review and appropriate tags. I imagine that when you are adding the bookmark, the bookmarking site probably guides you on how or where to add those features.

Of the myriad social bookmarking sites available to join, I chose StumbleUpon at the recommendation of marketing friends and mentors.

StumbleUpon is described as a "free tool that discovers websites based on your interests - it learns what you like and brings you more."

When you are a member and have the StumbleUpon toolbar on your browser, and when you click the Stumble button, "it brings you to one new website after another ... StumbleUpon has over 500 interests to choose from and over 10s of millions of websites, all submitted and endorsed by (StumbleUpon) members... (and) you get to rate the websites with a Thumbs Up or a Thumbs Down."

Once again, if you are a member, please Stumble me!

I am new to this and still, uh ... stumbling around to find clear, simple instructions for social bookmarking, but as I become more experienced and knowledgeable, I'm sure I will eventually have some more precise and valuable insight and experiences to share.

Until then, I encourage you to look into Social Bookmarking and Social Networking as a possible way to improve your online marketing and Internet Home Business efforts.

Sincerely,
GT Bulmer
