You are at the do or die point in your blogging career. You have decided that if you don’t get things going with your blog and start making some money real soon, you are going to swear off blogging, burn your laptop, and start reading the newspaper again. You even have thoughts of going to the library.

Bonsai is your answer.

Here is the Bonsai attack method for posting to social media sites:

Find some social media sites and register for an account. We will call this account, the master account. You will use these account to submit your stories to the social media sites. Make sure that, from this point on, you submit all of your posts. Can’t find any social media sites? If not, you need to open your eyes and look in the direction of the computer. You could also go to the post that DoshDosh did on the subject. If I were you, I would register for all of the sites listed in the DoshDosh post.
Go back through the list and register for a posting/user account. You will use these accounts to rate, comment on, and hype the posts submitted in step #1.
Make sure some sort of social bookmarking widget is installed on your blog(s) so your users can also do you the favor of submitting your posts.

That method should give your social bookmarking efforts a kick-start.

Bonus Tip: I also have my friends submit my posts to social bookmarking sites. I make things easy on them, however, by sending them the exact link they need, which includes the title, description, URL, and tags. This way, all they need to do is click on the link, log in, select a category…and they are done.
