How To Get Started At Social Bookmarking Sites

Creating an account at a social bookmarking site is simple, they are free, you never pay anything to have the account. You simply create a user name and profile. Once you have done that you are able to add your interests and connect with other people on the site. You can also invite friends and families to join the site as well. With the social bookmarking sites you can also link them up to your Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, LastFm, Plaxo and FriendFeed accounts as well. Another way to spread the word about any articles you have written, your blog, your pictures you have uploaded and videos you have posted. For example, you have written an article in eHow and it has been published. You make money on eHow by views to your article, so you want to drive traffic to the site and get people to view your article and click on the links. Sites like eHow and similar sites have a tool bar to click on that gives you lists of social bookmarking sites. Click on the ones you have signed up with or want to sign up with. When you click on this link another window or tab will open and you will be at the social bookmarking site, such as Delicious. The information about your article, the link and title will already be added into the form. You will fill in the tags and any other information, such as the category and click save. This will create a bookmark on your profile. Your link is now visible to all users of Delicious. When people go by your profile they can see all the bookmarks you have added. If they like a link, they click on it and go to the article. Every social bookmarking site is slightly different, but they all are very easy to use and set up. Once you are signed up you can add bookmarks very quickly and easily and it will become routine to add your media to these sites for others to see.
