StumbleUpon.com : A New Platform for Sellers to Promote Your E-Store

Thursday, January 20, 2011




StumbleUpon.com (SU) is one of the social networks available nowadays. However, not many of us realize about this social network as it’s not as popular as Facebook and Twitter. I found SU as a very interesting social network because it allows us to share our favourite web with other internet users. I see this as an opportunity for sellers in My1Stop.my to promote their business.

SU is an effective way to reach a large, enthusiastic community of all ages which are eager to discover new things, maybe even try new products and explore new services. This is because SU is an enhanced social platform and sharing system. So, when used correctly, SU can be very effective at getting the world to know about your business and promote it. Therefore, it is suitable to promote your online business.

Here are some simple tips on how to use SU to promote your business. First, create a SU account. Install the SU toolbar and begin using SU. Find and rate websites in your business category. You need to have a proper profile to promote your business. Then, start to connect with other Stumblers (StumbleUpon.com users). Be friends with people who have similar interest. You can do this in a few simple ways. Stumble into other users’ websites. Send message within SU and visit their websites to get to know a little bit about them. This will grow into a mutual friendship.

Next, stumble your own websites using SU toolbar. And, you need to stumble often too. Submit and stumble frequently is good for your reputation. If people like the pages you’ve stumbled upon and submitted, you’ll likely also be rated highly in the community. Important thing you need to know about stumbling is, you have to be precise and appropriate when putting a label and tag at your submitted pages. Be relevant when tagging your submission. Pertinent tags will bring you most targeted traffic from the users who have specifically expressed an interest in the topic you are serving content for.

As social networks have become a trend and a need in the modern world, I believe it can be used to push your business further and around the world, and at the same time, to increase your income and boost your business. So, why not try using SU as a medium to promote your business?
