Social bookmarking is the business tool of current times.

Software For Social Bookmarking

Social bookmarking is the business tool of current times. It is the buzz word in all internet circles. A few years ago blogging was the thing to be done, today it is bookmarking. This thing is here to stay, and catching on like wild fire. Today it is the sacred duty of every freelance writer to integrate this tool into their marketing strategy. This tool has been around for almost five years now, and it is only getting better with time.

Decoding Social Bookmarking

Social bookmarking involves saving and categorizing your personal collection of bookmarks. You can also share this collection with others on your network. You can take the bookmarks saved by others. You can add these to your collection of bookmarks. You can subscribe to others’ lists. There are endless ways in which you can benefit and help others benefit as well.

If you are a freelance writer, and are just starting out, then social bookmarking is just right for you. It will generate ample traffic for you. Most of these sites are indexed by Google and other search engines several times a day. Your visibility on these sites becomes very important now. Besides driving traffic to your site, you can also use these sites for freelance writing opportunities. Blog posting or forum posting are important creative outlets. These posts can be listed on your social bookmarking sites.

Some websites pay bloggers up to $100 per month for daily posts. The same websites increase the payment to $150 per month if the post can be linked to some social bookmarking sites. That is the potential that we are talking about. For writers it is a great opportunity as an average post takes about fifteen minutes of your time, they can be written in bulk and the posting can be pre-scheduled. That is the power of technology for you. You can do one week’s posts in an hour or so, and make about thirty dollars per hour for your effort. That’s not bad.

Social Bookmarking Software

There is some software available in the market that helps you in creating your own social bookmarking service. It can be in any niche or any market of your choice. You can try these out at your convenience.

Complete reliance on search engines for your business promotion is not that effective any more. People have understood now that the search engines have their own agenda. They list sites according to their own preference. In fact some very good sites never make it to the first ten sites of a search engine just because their web masters are not too tech savvy. In such an environment bookmarking comes across as a beacon of hope.

So if you want to be a successful marketer in this new age, start participating in social bookmarking. Come and join the party. It is more fun than you think it is.
