I really do love Stumbleupon. It's a great way to waste time.

Here are some of my better articles:
10 Reasons the Freshman Fifteen Gets You
Gardening for Optimal Health
How to Create Your Own Diet, Part I

I hope you enjoy them.

SPaMx182 · 08-19-2007, 07:09 AM

I didnt read the bottom posts, but Ill be happy to exchange stumbles with anyone. My website is www.SparkedBlog.com

Just send me an email (spamx182@gmail.com), PM, or IM (SPaMx182 on AIM)

Henrik · 08-19-2007, 04:03 PM

Lots of interesting stuff in this thread. One new article of mine that you might like and want to stumble is this one:

Top 24 Tips for Making Your Self Confidence Soar

Hope you find it useful!

Is a premium stumble member someone who has paid stumble to serve their web or something else?

Yeah, you become a stumble "sponsor", which you can learn more about here.

JimC · 08-20-2007, 07:22 AM

It's only $10 for 1 year, that's a pretty good deal.

I can buy that today and start a Pavlina group- would you all would join?

jamestl2 · 08-20-2007, 05:42 PM

Sure, I'll join

jasonivers · 08-20-2007, 05:47 PM

I don't see any reason to not do so, as long as it's only the $10 for you to create it. :P

JimC · 08-21-2007, 12:37 AM

Alright, I currently have $10 being transferred to my paypal account. It will be completed on the 23rd, so I will make the group as soon as that completes. =)

joshbickford · 08-21-2007, 08:18 AM

Wow, I just spent 3 hours stumbling--some really great writers in here!

Anybody want to stumble my site? I would recommend stumbling an article though....

Add your link, and get featured while you're at it!!!

jasonivers · 08-21-2007, 07:19 PM

So, for those of you who are interested, here is:

9 Simple Tricks To Start Your Morning Alert And Focused

Feel free to digg it, too... be nice for one to really take off, and though I didn't write it specifically for that, this one seems like it could do well on digg or reddit (both available as links to click at the bottom of the article). And a viral traffic surge always feels good (at least to me... I'm assuming to anyone else on this thread, too :P).

believegecko · 08-21-2007, 08:39 PM

I could use some help with the pages below. Please contact me via SU if you need any pages stumbled.
thanks

Good article Jason. I like your site's colors too. I just stumbled you.

David365 · 08-21-2007, 11:09 PM

I must admit I added SU to my browser, but never really "got it" - you expect something to happen after clicking a thumb!
I've found this thread most informative, and will make more use of SU.
I've got an early start tomorrow so I'm off to bed, but I will visit and stumble through the sites on this thread tomorrow - as a newbie to this forum it will also help me to get an idea what everyone else is up to.
My SU name is the same - David365. Thanks again for the advice on this thread.

JimC · 08-22-2007, 07:08 AM

New article...

...actually, it started out as a free write in my journal but I figured I'd publish it.

A Very Abstract Philosophy on Life | Small-town Big-shot

joshbickford · 08-22-2007, 07:49 AM

I spent about an hour last night trying to find the wordpress plugin that puts the Stumble Upon tab below each article. I found several people that have it, but all I could find on google was reviews of this plugin.

Anybody know where I can download it, or want to email it to me?

Also, I tried to add everyone to my friends list, if you'd like to add me my SU name is here.

Does anyone have any tips in regards to converting stumblers (specifically) to subscribers? My subscriber count IS going up, but it's pretty slow, so... any help?

aaronmp2003 · 08-22-2007, 05:50 PM

I don't remember the exact post, but within the last week or so, there was a link at ProBlogger to an article that discussed this very subject. If you go to his site and do a search (upper right-hand corner) or just go back through the posts over the last few weeks, I'm sure you can find it pretty easily.

jasonivers · 08-22-2007, 10:52 PM

Here is my latest article (the topic was chosen by my wife)... tell me if you like it.

Four Steps To Boosting Your Creativity (And Confidence!)

By the way, thank you very much for those of you who comment on my blog. I very much appreciate it... it makes it much less frustrating.

Oh, and also, thank you to those who gave me a "thumbs up" on my last article, 9 Methods To Start Your Morning Alert And Focused, as it has currently driven approximately 650 extra visits to my site (800 total in the last two days, but I normally get 75 or so). I remember someone mentioning doing the same thing for Reddit a while back... are services other than SU not worth it to the rest of you, or did it just sort of die off, or is anyone still interested in promoting on other services (reddit/digg/delicious/whatever)?

I did read that post, I just couldn't see much of it to implement that I wasn't already doing on my site... if you do, let me know, please. I'm always open to design suggestions.

Hi Guys,

I'm new to the thread. My stumbleupon user name is mslatinarenee. There are some cool sites listed here.

JimC · 08-24-2007, 05:08 AM

Here's a quick article on motivation: Motivate Yourself at Casual Science

Pavlina Stumblers group has been created. I am waiting for SU approval and then I will post it here.

believegecko · 08-24-2007, 12:40 PM

Making Money Online
I have over a dozen active Web sites and I'm always getting asked for help. Most people don't even know where to begin so I created this simple guide to get people started. Making Money Online

It is only a top level guide. Any of you that have sites know that there is way, way more to learn, but I didn't want to bog down the newbie with all the extras. This is just a guide to get folks started.

I'm going to expand on this guide over the next couple of weeks, so any ideas you have please send them my way. I could also use some stumbles to get this page picked up.

InterfaceLeader · 08-24-2007, 11:09 PM

I've been stumbling

Really liked 9 methods...

I have two articles for stumbling:

Five Writing Exercises

and

Alternative Endings

Thanks!

jamestl2 · 08-25-2007, 04:34 AM

Has anybody else received spam? (Or is this even considered spam?)

I had a few people I don't even know PM me in stumbleupon, asking me to rate or stumble their webpages, which seemed random.

realignedliving · 08-25-2007, 06:17 AM

Aww, if you like my article, you can always StumbleUpon it. Any and all Stumbles are welcome!
