Glad you found the post useful. I was amazed to see that it’s more than 3 months since I wrote this post. I haven’t spend so much time stumbling recently to benefit from making contacts and still when I do receive visitors from Stumbleupon there is no immediate increase in revenue.

It is difficult in a small business as you can end up spreading yourself too thinly over a multitude of marketing activities and perhaps end up spending too much time of acitvities that bring no return and not enough time on strategies that do work.

However It’s not only about immediate sales you are also trying to build awareness which may lead to future sales.

Thanks Karen for sharing your experience - I can learn a lot from this, especially the info re how to present on SU and linking to your business blog.

Yes I do think you have to be straight about how you present yourself in SU to build up and maintain some integrity. Not just in SU but in your blog and website too. I ‘m not thinking of doing any more paid campaigns in the near future. At the moment I’m sticking to being an active stumbler.

Great summary of StumbleUpon. As you know I’m a fan too.

You make a great point about being honest. It is definitely the way to see the best results with SU.

I’ve not tried their paid campaigns so I’ll be interested to hear how that works for you if you choose to do more.
