StumbleUpon Strategy Tip #1: Create One Theme/Category per StumbleUpon Account
Who says you can only have one account? No one! You should have one account per major topic. Do you write about more than one subject? Some of you may write both a non-fiction business book and also a romance novel. Set up one account for business and one for literature. There are categories that you can pre-select using StumbleUpon and this is important for the type of market you want to get into. You'll need a new email address for each new account.
