Share the Love - Let's Friend Each Other on StumbleUpon

Rating: 5 after 3 votes

I was reading that a great way to grow a young blog is to build a network of friends on stumbleupon and then give thumbs up for each other's blog posts. I thought that would be really cool to do with you guys. If you aren't using stumbleupon.com, you just have to go and download the toolbar. Then you can add friends with their user name or email address. To ask your friends to give you a thumbs up, navigate to the page you want to send to another user, click ‘Send to’ on the toolbar and select the target user from the drop-down menu. You can send a message to accompany the page. Generally you should ask for the specific action you want (stumble, or occasionally a review), and most importantly, offer to help out the other person in return. Hopefully, if your friends stumble you, then others will see your page and they will like it to. You know you're doing something write when non-friends stumble you too. Want to try? I'd love to stumble you!!

Alternatively, if you've given it a thumbs up already, you can go to your home page to the page listing places you've liked and you can edit your thumbs up review by adding text.

Hope that helped!

You can access my page and add me as a friend here and my website is BabytimeBags.com.

That will be the perfect audience to get "friends" and stumble each other's posts, etc. There are 140 members in that group, so I'm sure there will be a great response!; ▶ Reply to This
