6 Ways to get more followers on StumbleUpon

OK, let’s get started…

1. Brand your profile…

You should use your blog logo or the most popular Gravatar image that you use, as people looking for you will instantly recognize your brand image.

2. Find and follow other Stumblers

You can find Stumblers with similar interests as yours by going to the follow link at the top of the page and browsing the recommended category and following some people that takes your interest, don’t go mental and over do it, you don’t want to be flagged as spam, I think there is a limit for each day on how man people you can follow in any case.

If someone follows you back, even better. If they don’t you can choose to stop following them by checking you’re following that’s not following you back. Unless they’ve providing you with topics of awesome interest, you can choose to stop following them.

You can also follow friends by hitting follow friends. You will be prompted where you want to find friends from i.e. Facebook, Twitter, and Google or even send out email.

3. Be Resourceful

Add and share useful and resourceful content and pages from the web on StumbleUpon. If you already have a few followers, check out what they’re stumbling and sharing to get an idea of their interests. Don’t post spam that goes without saying I know, but it has to be said, you’ll just end up annoying your existing followers and have them stop following you, even worst reporting you.

The more useful content you share, the more it’s going to be shared and go viral, the more others will want to follow you.

4. Share your Pages

Don’t just share on StumbleUpon, but share your discoveries on Twitter, Facebook and Google Plus also. And remember, if you don’t ask you don’t get, so ensure to let your other followers on other social sites know that they can find you on StumbleUpon too, this is a great way to get more followers on StumbleUpon, and targeted ones too.
