Welcome to Day #2 of “7 Days to StumbleUpon Supremacy”.
Still with me? Fantastic. Hopefully you have finished yesterday’s assignment, and have registered for a StumbleUpon account and have explored the service, seen how things work, and maybe have a fair idea how everything works.
You are ahead of 90% of the people who showed interest in this 5 day challenge, who will just read it - but do nothing with the information. Your chance of getting more traffic from StumbleUpon just went up a notch by following up on the lessons your learned by taking action!
Now keep on reading and you’ll learn about some cool - and easy - things you can do to drive a flood of targeted visitors to your blog or website.
Make Your Commitment to the StumbleUpon Community
StumbleUpon is more than a traffic tap. It’s a powerful social NETWORK - an online community where you connect with PEOPLE.
Get this core principle right and you’ll reap rich rewards from the StumbleUpon community - and have great fun as you drive more traffic to your site.
StumbleUpon gives you some powerful, easy to use tools to make this process as easy as clicking a few buttons. Use them - and profit. Doing this the correct way takes some time, but is well worth doing.
Before going further, make a commitment to yourself that you will ethically tap the power of this huge network to add as much value to your network members as you can, and in return enjoy all the benefits that come from being connected to this vast source of targeted visitors.
Understand the Service
To start off, focus your attention on adding value to the SU community - by bringing interesting stuff to the attention of your network of friends and fans.
Stumble often. Stumble a lot. Stumble good stuff.
That way, you soon become a person others will watch and follow - because you point them to some nice picks that they might not have found on their own.
Do you surf the Web often? Surely you come across some nice photos, a cool widget, an incredible content resource, a funky design, a heart-warming story.
Stumble it.
It’s as simple as clicking on the ‘thumbs up’ icon on your StumbleUpon toolbar.
Then write a short, pithy, passionate review about the site, telling briefly why you like it, and why others should bother checking it out.
That’s all.
Today’s task is to locate at least 10 resources worth stumbling - and then adding them to your account at StumbleUpon. If you can stumble more than that, fine. And this will be a part of your daily routine - finding 10 or more quality sites to stumble every day, so your list of recommended sites grows and grows.
The “CHD Social Media Challenge” is a project to spread Congenital Heart Defects awareness. There are 4 mini-tutorials and 1 firesale making up the ‘challenge’. You can join in and help too - click here to see how.

If done properly, SU can act as a traffic fire hose. It can get tons of people in no time.
One thing that I always do is stumble not only my own sites but also good sites that I find while surfing.
