You might notice a theme lately as I look for ways to automate parts of my business for me and for my clients. I write and then I want to get visibility for my work. That’s the tedious part. Yet it’s so effective that I need to do more. There are lots of social bookmarking software choices but most have cheesy sales pages and I tend not to trust them.

Many seem to have a variation on a name that includes the words “social” or “submit.”

Here’s some I’ve been looking at:

My favorite: http://www.socialposter.com/

I like Social Poster because it’s free and gives dofollow as well as pagerank. Fill out your site information (or post info) and choose the sites you want to submit to. Choose the frame version and then it puts a toolbar above each login page. When you finish submitting to one you click “next” and register or submit to the next site. They have about 160 different social bookmarking sites to choose from. Just getting to the right ‘sign on page’ saves time and hassle.

This is a WordPress plugin that isn’t free and is rumored not to work on the current version of WordPress. It lets you bookmark your own posts within your dashboard. I’d like to get more information about it.

http://www.onlywire.com/ is another service I want to try out it’s free if you have ads on it

http://www.socialsubmit.com free

http://www.submitsocial.com $150
