Stumble Upon? Digg? Eh? Promote Yourself!

I\'m going out on a limb here...but I\'m gonna guess that alot of you aren\'t familiar with those buttons below a video. You know the one\'s under the embed code? Yes those. These...









So what do they do? Well, for one, they get your video seen. By lots of people. These are social bookmarking sites. There are others too, as evidenced by the fact that we have a few of them under there.



StumbleUpon is my favorite of the batch. There are a few ways to use stumbleupon, the first of which involves just going to stumbleupon.com and seeing their most recent picks. The best way to use it though...well that involves two things. First you need to be using Firefox (which is your admin\'s first pick for browsing). Once you have firefox you can install an \"add-on\". For those who have no idea what I\'m talking about, its like a little application for your browser. I use these religiously. Mainly becuz I\'m a lazy nerd who like to modify anything and everything I get my hands on. I couldn\'t survive without the mouse gestures app. Why use the back button when I can just use my mouse to do everything???



But I digress. My point here is to educate. So back to Stumbleupon. Once you have that app installed, a toolbar is created within your browser. Theres a cool little button that will show up. It says \"Stumble!\" When you click that, your browser will take you to a random site that someone has marked as worth checking out. You can totally customize this bad boy too. Like photography? Animals? Science? Religion? They got you covered.



So how does this affect you? Well, you can add your videos to stumbleupon (once you have an account there). Other people out there in the internet world will hit their stumble button. Eventually, they\'ll start stumbling across your stuff!



Digg is the same way, only it doesnt have that cool button. Digg.com is probably the best way to have a literal army come to see what you\'ve done. Again, you need to sign up for an account there. If you click the submit to Digg button, it will redirect you to their site. Once there, you fill out a little form and it created a digg record. From here, other people can vote on whether or not they \"digg\" your content...ya dig? If you make it to the front page of digg, you\'re gonna end up with 100\'s of thousands of views...so if you want to promote yourself, this is a great way.



There are others out their too! For instance del.icio.us. That site is another variation of the bookmarking theme. Don\'t forget about embedding too! You can put these vids on your myspace, your friendster or your face book accounts. Any other social networking site that allows html will work also. Put your vid in a bulletin and send it off to your friends. The views will count towards your total.



Thats all i have to say on this topic. Feel free to leave some comments down below if you have questions or something to add!

That was a good summary of how to use book marking and social networking sites for self-promotion.

I use StumbleUpon with IE, and it seems to work fine. I have been thinking of switching to Firefox, though, and every day there seems to be another reason to do it.
