Infopreneurs need more traffic, more visitors to see the information they have created or compiled.
StumbleUpon has MILLIONS of interested users. They want more information. They are waiting to hear about you.
Here are 17 powerful ways you can let them know.
1. Commit to making the effort to become part of the StumbleUpon community.
2. Don’t obsess over becoming a ‘power Stumbler’. Content is what matters most.
3. Become an active stumbler. Review and rate as many sites as you can.
4. Install the toolbar. Choose your subject preferences. Start stumbling sites that interest you.
5. Stumble your own stuff from time to time.
6. Don’t lead stumblers to your blog or website main page! Link deep to individual posts or articles.
7. Target your audience. Focus content to their interests.
8. Create longer posts with more links. Every thumbs up you get increases traffic.
9. Label and tag your submitted pages appropriately. Broad tagging helps. Go after keywords that are popular and often searched.
10. Don’t overwhelm your page with ads or distractions. Don’t ‘hard sell’ SU visitors.
11. It all happens ‘above the scroll’. Use a powerful title and visual cues to grab interest.
12. Build relationships on StumbleUpon. Don’t take a narrow, short term view.
13. Your StumbleUpon profile is important. Get more exposure/fans to your SU profile.
14. Link out to other bloggers who use StumbleUpon. Stumble the posts that link to you.
15. Thank people who stumble you. They’ll remember you - because not many do it.
16. Personalize your ‘About’ page. Plan what goes on it carefully.
17. Join the communities relating to your interests and your business.
By following these simple, common-sense POWER tips, you will get thousands of StumbleUpon visitors to your website or blog - even if you are a beginner to StumbleUpon.

StumbleUpon is a great resource. I think one of the easiest things to remember is that helping others will lead to others helping you. Help your friends by stumbling their pages and you’re likely to get stumbles of your own pages.
StumbleUpon is the best and has always been the best. Thank you for all these great StumbleUpon articles. You’ve been busy.

Hi Mani,
Thanks for the tips. Solid and practical advice as usual.

Hi Dr.Mani,
Thanks for compiling the cool tips. Hopefully they will help me push my ‘20 ways to $100 a day’ Squidoo lens from no. #60 to the top ten
Or something like that. Oh and by the way everyone, Dr.Mani has a great ‘Advanced Squidoo Marketing’ guide too. (that’s what I used to do so well!)

A good tip would be to write a post about learning to use Stumbleupon and link to a bunch of great StumbleUpon resource posts.
In my post, which is several months old now, I periodically add to the list of StumbleUpon blog posts at the end of the post.
This also serves a great reference for myself and others.
Thanking people that stumble your articles is a great way to network, and you are right, it is not done very often. I try to make a point of it.
