How to Use Stumbleupon to Promote a Business
Social media is the in thing nowadays and any business that is not up to date with using technology to their benefit is certainly losing out on a huge market. StumbleUpon has become a leading discovery engine for likeminded people who can find what interests them after other users recommend it. It is like having someone recommend a website, and just not any website, but one that you will actually like because that person has similar likes and interest.
StumbleUpon has expanded into a service with millions of regular users and marketers have found the opportunity to get web pages, photos and videos across like never before.

Determine Your Main Objective
It might sound odd after the previous discussion, but social media is not for every type of business, especially those that have very minimal customer interaction. The same rule applies for those businesses looking to make their mark on StumbleUpon. You need to decide whether your business is actually one that would suit being on the social media website.
For example, if you are running a house cleaning service, it is hard to image that becoming a hit on StumbleUpon, but there definitely are different forums where that will be a bitter fit. You need to see whether the users will actually go for you or not. -

Create the StumbleUpon Identity
If you are going ahead with being on StumbleUpon, the next step is actually to make an identity for yourself by creating an account. The website will give you all the necessary tools to discover and rate websites in your business’ section and now like many others, you can effectively increase traffic to your webpage and getting the services of your business across.
Like many experts would agree, those business which are based in a specific location and cannot offer services in other areas will find it hard to adjust on social media. -

The next step is to begin networking with those who are interested in what your business does. Find likeminded people and StumbleUpon your own website in order to get it noticed by those people you have connected with. Recommend it and suggest that they give it a try.
