I realize that I been helping out other bloggers by doing the following; stumble, twittley/tweet, and posting their links in my Flashback Monday post series. This is all good but I want to take it up a level. That’s right I want to help you more. I always believe in help myself by helping others. What I mean by “help myself by helping others” is doing good things for others, others will do good things for you.
I notice that my main social media marketing tools are twittley/twitter, stumbleupon, and facebook. One of my good friends main social media marketing tools is youtube and twitter. So I know everybody has their own style of doing things. We all have our own combination that we like to use.
I want to step my game up in the social media marketing by helping others. I around come into your small networks and comment on all your blogs. For the social media marketing challenge. I am going to do the same thing. For example, if you use digg, reddit, and twitter for your promotions. Please let me know. I will add you on all 3 sites and any “good” articles you send my way. I will do it for all 3 sites. If you use friendfeed, youtube, and stumbleupon. No problem, I will add you on all 3 sites and do the same.
Why I am doing this? Well I have a passion for helping others and I believe that you will do the same for me.
I will be putting a lot of time into this challenge. Just ask my friends on any of the social media sites. They will tell you, if I think the post is good I will go out my way to promote the post as if its my own post.
Just to name a few bloggers that I have promoted their post like its my own.
Caden at cadengrant (Promoted on twittley/twitter & stumbleupon) Very close friend of mine.
George at tumblemoose (Promoted on stumbleupon)
Dan at tycoonblogger (Promoted on twittley/twitter)
Now for the details of the Social Media Challenge
Post in the comments your social media marketing combination. (Only the sites that you use daily) I will add you as a friend on all of the sites. I will help promotion your post. We can help each other drive traffic to our blogs and get on the front page of sites like twittley, digg, and reddit.
Side note: I am a power user on twittley. A vote from me and 4 others I will not name will get you on the front page of twittley. I am very active on twittley and plan on staying a power user as long as I am a blogger.
So if you want to take part in the challenge for me to help with social media marketing please post your social media marketing combination in the comments. Also, why not post this challenge on your blog and help out your readers.

Hey Deneil!
I wish you my best on this challenge. I want to join in.
The two that I use the most are Facebook and Twitter. Well, my twitter is http://www.twitter.com/themmblog
And we’re already friends in Facebook.
Thanks, I have added you on twitter. Please add me on twitter.
You have decide very well to helping the others because it such a nice way to make the relations from others. Its natural thing that if you expect the better behavior from others so you will have to do same with them.
Well I finally gave in completely to one of my passions. (helping others) I do believe that my readers will be nice enough to not spam me with junk because I will never spam them with junk.
Deneil is one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. He is always willing to help me. Frankly, if I was him, I’d be getting tired of me be now
Damn dude, that is quite nice of you. Hope it pays off for you.
I am a member on Digg, if you want to add me as a friend, I would be glad to dig any of your submissions, or stories submitted by your other friends. I am on Digg every day.

Deneil,
I really appreciate the support and promotion..You are right about Twittley, I have 2 articles on the front page and they both have less than 10 tweets each. The key is votes from he right people , ie, you and several other power users. This initiative is a great idea and of course I would like to participate in any way I can. I have been using Twittley and Mixx mostly these days. I gave up on Digg several months back as I got discouraged..Now might be a great time to jump back in…
Thank you, I have added you too all 4 sites.
Yeah, you are right. I think you have become a power user on twittley as well. Post the links to the social media sites you mainly use and we can add each other.
Hi Deneil, I went ahead and started following you on Twitter. I’m always eager to network with other bloggers, especially the ones who have a genuine desire to help bloggers out. I believe that the next stage in the evolution of social media is going to be bloggers coming together to form powerful unions, so these are the types of people that I want to get to know. Kudos to you for this idea!
I use StumbleUpon and Twitter daily, and then occasionally mess with other sites like Sphinn, Mixx, and Reddit. I’m kikolani on all of them. I think this is a great challenge!

I’d like some recommendations for books about social media marketing. Specifically, best practices and examples of how companies are using sites like Facebook/Myspace/Twitter to build their businesses.
I didn’t read any books on it. I just learned one thing and it helps. Be social and make friends.
I love helping others so it’s no big deal for me. Anytime you need help, you know how to contact me.
Jason, I added you on digg. Please add me thank you. I can’t wait to see what articles you promote.
I have added you to both of the sites. Please add me.
I added you to twitter as well. Finding people who seriously want to network and help other is pretty hard to find. I had to learn to trust others in order to allow myself to give into my passion of helping people. I hope we can network and help each other. Anytime you want to talk, contact me.
Well we are already friends on stumbleupon and I am following you on twitter. I will add you on reddit right now. I will have to sign up to Shinn and Mixx. I will add you once I have an account.
Can Social Media Marketing replace Search Engine Marketing as a viable way for companies to market online?
