What is social bookmarking? It's a tool originally designed to help internet users share great websites and bookmark them for other's to see. Now, it's used as an incredible marketing tool that every freelancer should be taking advantage of!

Social bookmarking has become an internet phenomena, gaining exposure and coverage almost everywhere as a great internet marketing resource. Social bookmarks are also known as weblinks. leniche.com also has a user menu link to submit or browse weblinks on this site as well!

As a freelancer, especially freelance writer, there are multiple ways to utilize social bookmarking sites to gain more exposure for your self, your website, your blog or your business.

How to use social bookmarking sites for freelancers?

Sign up with as many social bookmarking sites as possible, and bookmark the link to all of your online articles, websites, blog posts, etc. Other users and internet users browse social bookmarking sites to find user recommended websites, articles and resources. If another user decides to bookmark a link that you have bookmarked, your bookmark with receive an extra "point." These "points" are referred to as different psyseudonyms depending upon the site identity. For example, on the social bookmarking site digg.com, each time a user recommends an already bookmarked link, it's called "digging" it or a "digg."

These bookmarking sites are so invaluable, you could possibly double the amount of page views your work gets!

If you're new to social bookmarking, it's a good idea to bookmark other useful websites once in a while, so that your user reputation on the social bookmarking circuit doesn't lose credibility.

Here are some of the top social bookmarking sites on the web now. I suggest joining all of them and submitting all your work. Notice, how this site has the bookmarking links above every article! Once you sign up for the sites, you can practice by bookmarking this article.... :)
