Promoting your website is vital to its long term success. You aren’t going to be successful without doing some serious work to bring in relevant traffic. Bookmarking Demon is a highly powerful tool for increasing the number of social bookmarks pointing to pages on your site.

Provided that you use it correctly, that is. It’s also an easily abused tool.

Bookmarking Demon submits the pages of your site you select to a variety of social bookmarking websites. It currently has a list of abut 100 sites, but you can add in more.

It can create a variety of profiles for you, so that you don’t leave an obvious footprint on your profiles. This is important, even when you aren’t abusing the tool. It’s not a good idea to make it easy for others to tell exactly where you are getting your backlinks from.

You can also have Bookmarking Demon vary the title and description of your submissions. This is once again good for minimizing your footprint. It also means you can target a few related keywords as well as the main one you are going for.

It also allows you to add in RSS feeds from other sites so that other pages get mixed in with the ones you’re submitting for your own benefit. I like to pick feeds from sites I actually enjoy so that good quality sites are getting the benefit from my efforts. Gotta promote my fellow good guys!

You can also use proxy sites to change your IP address for your submissions. This is one more way of obscuring your footprints.

The scheduler is really handy. It’s a great way to spread your submissions out a little without having to remember to do them on your own. You can have it work kind of fast or spread things out over many days.

I know that some people aren’t terribly comfortable with submitting their own links. However, so long as you keep things reasonable, and only submit your best quality pages it’s really not a bad tactic. Getting others to socially bookmark your sites is nice, but for that to happen you have to be discovered first. That’s not going to happen if you don’t get your site out there.

Do not expect that this tool will directly generate traffic. Many of the sites don’t get that much traffic, and of those that do, you need many more people bookmarking your site before you’re likely to see much effect right from the site.

What you’re getting here are links to your site. Plan your keyword use well to benefit your site in the search engines. That’s the traffic source you’re after. Anything from the bookmarking sites is a happy extra.

You do not want to overdo your social bookmarking efforts. Social bookmarking sites are very sensitive to spam. Promote your own sites too much and you’ll lose all benefit as your profiles are banned and deleted.

Give Bookmarking Demon a try. It has the usual Clickbank refund policy, so if it just isn’t for you, you haven’t lost anything but a little time. If you’re like me, you’ll appreciate its power and convenience. Buy Bookmarking Demon today!

If there’s one thing many people dread when running a home business, it’s promoting themselves. It’s not a comfortable thing for most. You’re taught for so long not to brag that talking about yourself, your skills and your business becomes quite uncomfortable.

Unfortunately for those who aren’t comfortable, it’s also quite necessary.

The trouble with this is that you are assuming that your offer will be rejected, that it is unwelcome. You don’t know that this is the case, but you assume so.

The reason you often feel like what you are going to say is going to be unwelcome is that you think of it as a sales pitch. No one enjoys listening to a sales pitch. But they can enjoy hearing about something you are enthusiastic about.

I did medical transcription from home for 3 years. When I told people about it, obviously I wasn’t trying to sell them on the concept. Yet I constantly had and still have people asking how they could get into it. My enthusiasm and interest in that career brought out their dreams of working from home.
