Get Famous on Digg

I have a Digg account, which I rarely use, because I’m not a “authority” figure on Digg and thus anything I Digg doesn’t get tons of attention. I also don’t spend my time actively seeking out interesting content for Digg, so I’ve not got a history of finding and digging interesting stuff.

At Sphinn, people sorta know who I am, but I’m not tied to my feed reader so most good posts that deserve a Sphinn have already been sphunn by someone else by the time I get around to it.

So… methinks one could take the feeds from blogs that often “go hot” at Sphinn, (or Digg, or whatever niche you work in) and get instant alerts when a new post is up, click through to Sphinn (Digg… etc.) and be the first to submit a new post. You’ll get attention as the submitter of a great story.

Keep doing it and you’ll be recognized as a loyal contributor of excellent content to the community, your profile will get more views, and you’ll become something of an authority figure at the site.

This all counts on you staying on top of new posts with CommentSniper, and only submitting excellent stories to the social voting sites.

If you look at Sphinn, you’ll see a number of bloggers who’s stories appear again and again in the “Hot” posts. Those are the bloggers you want to subscribe to with CommentSniper. When a new post appears, Sphinn it if it’s something you think Sphinn users would like. Voila! You’re famous!

With Digg, weird news and tech news go big fast. There are lots of blogs devoted to these topics - find ‘em, subscribe, and start Digging. Rinse, repeat. You’re famous!

Once you’ve got a profile on these sites that folks pay attention to, future submissions tend to get more votes, more attention, more click throughs. Here’s where you slip in your own marketing links and messages - assuming, once again, it gels with the community’s objectives. If it doesn’t, you’ll lose credibility quickly, so do use your influence carefully.
