Just think of a bookmarking site like you think of using your Facebook account. If you find a really cool site and think your friends would enjoy it, then you post the link on your wall and tell everyone to check it out and why you think they should, right? Well once people start to know who you are and you gain a good reputation, they will start sharing your sites and what you have to say about it and possibly will look forward to the next one you post.
You need to remember though, these are real people and they don’t want to hear a sales pitch. When writing a description for the site you are promoting, you need to write it as if you were the customer instead of the seller. Think of what you would want to read if someone was telling you about a great site you should check out. Keep it short but interesting. Make sure you convey to the reader that you want to help them out, not just earn a commission.
When creating accounts with social bookmarking sites, make sure you fill out your personal profile. People want to know you are human and are just like they are, not just another marketer trying to make a sale. Be as personable as possible and keep in mind that the customers happiness comes first above all.
Building your reputation on social bookmarking sites is very important for the future of all your site submissions. You want to be as positive as possible when commenting on any subject. This will build a positive online image and people will be attracted to you.
With social bookmarking you need to stay persistent and patient throughout the whole process. These types of traffic can take awhile to see revenue from your visitors. Remember this is free traffic generation and you will be doing the work yourself, so make sure all your descriptions are of quality content to rank higher in the bookmarking sites and search engines.
Now you need to find some bookmarking sites and start bookmarking. You can Google social bookmarking to find some interesting and relevant bookmarking sites that are easy and free. Remember though, the worst thing you can do with social bookmarking is to mass bookmark all at once. Never have a mass bookmarker submit your link to a ton of sites all at once. This could hurt your rankings with search engines. The bookmarking process should be done slowly over time and be a natural sharing experience. A good rule is to share one to five times a day. But you will need to share at least once a day to keep on top of things.
