Stumbleupon - Social Media Marketing

One of the topics I hit fairly hard in my talk about Social Media Marketing at the last Arizona Real Estate Bloggers Network Gathering was the use of Stumbleupon as a way to introduce people to your blog who don’t already know about it but are interested in the general topic of your blog content.
As an example, if your blog is about Phoenix Real Estate you would be able to introduce it to people who are interested in Real Estate and to people who are interested in Phoenix or live in or around Phoenix Arizona.
If your blog is about a totally different topic, you would be able to show it to people who have indicated that they are interested in that topic.
To see a list of the topics on Stumbleupon that are currently hot and getting a lot of “air time,” you can visit the hot topics page. The larger the the size of the phrase, the more active that topic is. The hot topics list might give you some great ideas to incorporate into your blog posts because it gives you an idea of what most of the people on Stumbleupon are browsing right now or recently.
The Popular Tags List includes Recently Hot Tags as well as Most Popular All Time. Go get some blogging ideas. There are plenty of them there.
Thank You

Bill, I enjoyed your class and have enjoyed meeting you through this group. Thanks for the great info. I have not done much with stumbleupon but look forward to using it more in the near future.
Good morning Nick,
It has been a pleasure to meet you as well. Light Rail might be a very interesting topic to see whether there is enough interest on Stumbleupon to generate some activity. There are plenty of railroad and train enthusiasts out there.
Thank you,
Bill Austin
