[Former_Member]

Hi friends!
I just started a stumble upon account and I am liking it so far. (I am a die hard pinterest fanatic though...we'll see how this compares.)
I need some friends/followers/whatever. I'd love to look at what you stumble upon and how you use it to promote your business. Anyone want to be friends?
my username is ellaryeboutique.
Whats yours?

Just followed you, Emily. You'll find me here:

I add some of my own listings and treasuries and sometimes those of others and it can be hit and miss whether StumbleUpon opens the gate on driving traffic to those listings or treasuries.

Once when I added an unusual cab, StumbleUpon sent about 500 people to look. The views kept going up at a somewhat dizzying pace but I can't say that it translated directly into sales.

I also add a number of other subjects in which I'm interested - mostly to do with beautiful Bali, the inspiration for my product lines. I think the trick is to be diverse and not make it all about Etsy or all about your own shop and products

I'm not a supreme regular on StumbleUpon but I do enjoy using it. And I can say my shop stats show it regularly drives traffic to my shop.

This Mashable article inicates that StumbleUpon drives 50 per cent of social media traffic to the rest of the web - ahead of Facebook and Twitter.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Hi Indounik , I was trying to stumble one of your items and it seems not happening. I have a Stumble!button added to the browser. But when I clecked on it from your shop listing, it took me to a different page. Any helpful advice???

[Former_Member]

Wow. I didn't know you could post on StumbleUpon. I love that site. How do you get your shop on Pineterest? Love that one too. What about Craft Gawkers?

I have seen some shops have Facebook pages, twitter etc. linked just under the banner. I would like to know how to do that Anybody has any idea?

[Former_Member]

Hi! I've had an account for a while, but never really used it until now. I've been stumbling interesting shops I've come across and people here in the team. I have stumbled my own shop, but I've heard your not suppose to do that. O well.

@rebecca tomb I couldn't find "rtomb92" in stumble

[Former_Member]

Im confused. Supposedly you arent supposed to list items to "sell" them or promote them, but if you stumble on/search "etsy" there are thousands of shop owners doing this. So....are we or arent we supposed to? Are they just breaking the "rules"?

Personally, i like it when etsy shop owners stumble upon their own items, because they tag them and usually pick the coolest things from their shop to add to the site. I feel like its a good way to market your products to a whole new group of people who probably would never have found your shop otherwise. Just my 2 cents.

But if we're not supposed to do this, I want to know.

@Bindu Saju
Just go to Your account - Settings there you can link your shop to your FB and twitter account.

[WildWildernessPhotos]

Just started too, kind of confusing to figure out, and I feel as though I usually catch on fairly quickly to these types of social media. Oh well, eventually I will get it!

My name on Stumble is WildWilderness

[DesigningParrotJewel]

Srumbleupon rules etc say that you CANNOT stumble your own stuff. But....there is nothing against stumbling others stuff. So we can Stumble each other's shops or items etc.

That's the way I understand it

Hi Emily!

I'm on Stumbleupon and Pinterest! StumbleUpon is more of where I am just trying to help other shops get put out there. Pinterest is more of the type of things I really like.

My name on both sites is GracefulbyAnna, if that doesn't come up for pinterest you can try my name Anna Campbell. I'll add you too ;)

I love stumbleupon, I've only been using it for 2 days and my views have increased dramatically! I used to average 80-100 views a day and now I'm getting over 300, yesterday 387!! My sales increased too I was averaging 1-2 sales a week maybe and since monday I have already had 5 sales!! ;) Hope it works for you. I joined a Stumble Team on here http://www.etsy.com/teams/10894/promote-thru-stumbleupon-ect others will stumble your items if you stumble theirs!

Hope it helps you!!

<3 Anna

I am kaeartworks.
Just opened the account yesterday so have not figured out how to make a maximum use of it.....

[Former_Member]

I've been on Stumbled for a few days - wasn't sure how to use it. I just stumbled you Yasuko! I still cannot figure out how my "stuff" gets on there. I am on as "JackwoodLogan" - unfortunately "Jackwood" was taken.
