Our Online Magazine
(definition of Moron : One deficient in judgment and good sense)
Digg, Twitter, Stumbleupon and a few other social bookmarking sites. You will find me on most of them submitting my work and occassionally the work of other people. If you are online at all and not using these websites then you are missing out on some great "human traffic" because when you appear you get noticed, and you don't need to have thousands of people voting for you to get noticed either. Try using one for a month (I recommend stumbleupon) and then check your website stats after a month!
But I've recently learnt that just Digging for Digging sake is not the point of submitting your work. The point in adding anything to social bookmarking sites is yes - to aim for the front page with thousands of Diggs (or stumbles or votes.. whatever) but it is also so that your post can be picked up by other people and used on their blog. What you are hoping for is that other front page bloggers (who are usually hardcore authority bloggers) will pick it up and use it. What you get then are links from other blogs back to yours, not to mention building your online credibility because people are talking about.
The same can be said of articles (going off topic just a little) the point of submitting articles is not so much to have them sent from one article directory to another (although that's excellent) but you want to write something so amazing that other bloggers pick it up and use it as their website/blog material. If you have a Google alert on your name that's the easiest way to know who has used your article and what they have said. My articles are used on blogs and websites all the time. I even managed to "slap someone down" who used my article without my resource box (a HUGE must not do!). The Google alert picked it up because he left my name at the end of the article.
Now that I have learnt another use for Digg besides just hitting the Digg button my next goal will be to get myself noticed... but for now... based on the way I have been using the site I created a blog post called 13 Signs You May Be A Digg Moron and you can read it at my other blog which is here.
It's one thing having a blog but another getting enough traffic to that blog to make you a reasonable monthly income.
I have been researching the best way to do that and it turns out that having a 
linkingstrategy that attracts traffic to your blog and then having articles in that blog that provide valuable information but also includes an affiliate link works really well.
One person it works particularly well for is John Humphrey.
John runs Social Power Linking. A site set up to help people learn how to monetize their internet website and blogs so that they constantly attract traffic on a regular basis.
John has created a video called the $400 Dollar Page because he has just one page on his blog that made him $400 in one month. Now imagine if you had 5 pages on that blog!
Social networking, social bookmarking, 
Digg, Twitter, Reddit. These are all terms we here branded about on the internet but how many of use truly understand how it all works and why it's even worth looking into it.
The one thing I do know is that this form of marketing online is providing an opportunity for people to finally drive targeted traffic to their website, no money needed but a whole lot of personal time. That's where strategies come into play.
You know not to have a business without a business plan, you wouldn't try to buy that dream condo without a savings plan and you most certainly shouldn't play at social networking without a social networking plan!
This carnival takes you through different ways to use social networking and 
socialbookmarking with the intention of driving people towards what you offer, so until next time.... Enjoy

Women who run an internet based business are joining this opportunity to highlight their work
Women Internet Marketers - the online social network and magazine for women running an internet based business are running a showcase in May 2008 that will provide women who work online with an opportunity to take part and run an event.
The purpose of this showcase is to highlight the great work being done by women online and it will also serve as an opportunity for women to build their subscriber base.
The idea was created by Women Internet Marketers founder Diane Corriette as a way to promote the businesses of women and is set to run every year as a business showcase.
"Next year I will run it a little earlier to coincide with International Women's Day on March 8th" says Diane "But rather than wait a whole year I thought I would get started now!"
During the showcase women who run an online business have the opportunity to deliver their event in whatever way they choose. Most women are running either a teleseminar, webinar, free online eCourse or some other type of activity that will showcase their service/product,promote the work that they do and help them build their subscriber list.
"Women Internet Marketers exists to help raise the online visibility of women" continues Diane "I am moving away from mentoring and more into running competitions, events, showcases and teleseminars that will not only promote members to each other, but also to a wider more global audience"
The event will run from May 1st - 31st 2008
Visit the website for more information

All women who enter their details into this showcase will be highlighted on the Women Internet Marketers online magazine for one full year - or until the next event - whichever happens first
A great article about VLEs and the various delivery options available.
