Stumble Upon?

[Former_Member]

I recently joined stumbeupon.com. Does anyone know how to add your own Etsy shop?? I've been trying to figure out how to add a 'button' but I've gotten to the point where I'm so super-saturated with ALL of these websites and technical stuff (of which I am TRYYYING to be more savvy) but I'm spent!!! Heeelp??

Anyone??

JuJu,
Create yourself a blog and a login to stumbleupon..you can post your store links and info that way.

Stumbleupon is pretty fun.

Does anyone else have anything to add?? Perhaps some details of how you use it for your shop?? I'm just not sure if this is something that would necessarily help me. (Btw, I DO have a blog)

I have just joined stumble upon- I don't know much yet (found your thread as I am searching previous posts looking for tips lol)

But I think I have added my shop- if you go to the favorites tab, there is a button saying 'add site'- you can type in your website and a review. Hope I have done it right!

I am sure there are plenty of people who can add more?

I have added my site but I am unsure what else I could/should be doing!

Can anyone add anything? I would love to hear if anyone thinks stumble upon is good for self promotion, and if so, how do you use it effectively? (I know it's fun I stumbled upon some REALLY cute puppy photos earlier!)

Thanks! :-D

I haven't tried it, but one of my team members says Stumbleupon is how she makes all of her sales.

Wish I had more to add. I will add more if I start to use it.

If you have a blog and want to encourage people who see it to suggest it to others on stumbleupon (making you more visible to others) you can add a stumble upon badge to your page (i added it onto my tumblr page, it was easy)
here is the link for the badge codes:

good luck to everyone!

the easiest way to add things to stumbleupon is to download their toolbar for your browser. it has a "I like it!" button. you can submit any page, your etsy shop home, individual items, blog posts, a picture of your cat, go for it!

(when you click "I like it!" the page is submitted to your favorites. if the page has never been submitted to Stumbleupon before it comes up with another page where you can either 'quick submit' where they figure out all the categories for you or the other option is you can fill out a review and add the tags on your own.)

Thanks guys! So is it okay to add your own shop/page? I don't blog at the moment so can't do that option....

Don't really want to break the etiquette/rules, but if it's one of those things everyone does then maybe I should!

Also- I can't get the toolbar to work for me- I have Internet explorer, I have managed to download the toolbar but it's just one button that takes you to stumble upon's homepage- very annoying! All the help info seems to be for different browsers.

Thanks JuJu because it was just yesterday I was contemplating joining stumbleupon. Now, I'm really discouraged. Yet, inspired by other's to join or not to join? yikes.
