Deb&Jamie,
Glad things are becoming more clear…
I have put together a group for start up princess members to stumble…so Deb, Jamie, Ponn and anyone else who wants to do this, email me or comment here.

That was great, detailed info, thanks. Now I understand. However, if the people you invite do not have the stumble toolbar, they won’t be able to click on the thumbs up icon. So what’s the point there? Are you just hoping they are a fellow “stumbler.”

I think it’s definitely a great idea to make a list of Startup Princesses who are doing the stumble thing and include their URL’s so we can stumble each others’ sites and help boost each others’ ratings (is that how it works?).

GREAT to see such interest in learning how this one internet marketing strategy can/will/is doing fabulous things to everyone’s traffic and more!

Kelly asked me to shed some more light on some of the above questions:

1. Here’s a post on Del.icio.us for Beginners

2. Here’s a starting-point post for Technorati

3. To learn the 4 of the Top 6 social networking/bookmarking sites along with me and dozen others, interesting in sharing the link-love, spreading good news around the web (all the reasons Kelly and I feel so passionately about StumbleUpon and their competitors), start here.

4. Then, go to today’s post with quick directions for Netscape, LinkedIn, and more Networking Tips Specifically Online and the success gained (less time-intensive posting on the blog day in and day out…as I’m a Jane-of-all-traits…but, *not* simply a blogger). Details here.

Feel free to post comments, questions, issues on any of the particular services via the direct post you read and I’ll try my best to answer any and all your questions.

Bring the Networking On(Online) My Dears!

Deborah, first of all, I think you should submit “non-profit” as a new category, I’m sure they would add it and it should be there. People may stumble upon your site under business…but that wouldn’t really be the right fit, so I agree, see if you can get them to add that.

Deborah & Jamie, Here’s how you “get someone to stumble your site” first of all, find out who is into “stumble upon” that you know (you both know Me, for example) and perhaps we should start a Start Up Princess stumble group to help one another…but once you identify what blog post or page on your site you want to have “stumbled” copy and paste it into an email and send a request like, “Kelly, please stumble this: http://www.craftybabies.com” and then I receive the email, paste the URL into my stumble upon browser and click the “thumbs up” icon. If it’s a new site to discover like when I did Jamie’s tonight, then I put down her category (which was pregancy/birth) and a brief summary and submitted, that was it, now here site has been stumbled and anyone else from this point on will just keep giving it thumbs up ratings…unless they also want to do a review of it which is always nice!

I love Stumble too…very cool, eh!? And it blesses you as you “bless” others…great! I just stumbled your site, let me know if you see an increase, you should! Enjoy!
