Tip’d – A Social Community For Financial Articles

November 18, 2008

Have you heard about Tip’d yet? Do you like finance articles or financial news articles?  If you haven’t checked it out you need to.  Tip’d just officially launched to the public (it was previously in beta).

But what is Tip’d?

Tip’d is a social media site where users submit their favorite finance related articles. Users tip up or topple down what they like and dislike.

As a reader there’s a wealth of information out there.  Odds are your favorite site will be represented and if it isn’t you can submit an article to share with everyone.  And because the site is still new you can jump right in and become a power user (unlike some sites where you get lost in the millions of users).

As a blogger Tip’d can bring you excellent traffic.  Even in it’s beta version I was getting lots of visitors to Free From Broke for submitted articles.  I can only imagine the traffic now that it’s officially launched!  And because everything is finance related your submissions will be better targeted and won’t get lost among other areas like on other social media sites.

If you checked out the beta but haven’t been there in a bit then check out these new features:

  • Private Messaging
  • You now have 3 minutes to edit an article you submitted
  • More categories
  • Faster Tip It button
  • And many more

When you get there check out my profile and add me as a friend.  Shoot me a quick message and I’ll add you back.  And make sure you Tip up and submit Free From Broke articles!

To make it easier to Tip an article here you can use the Tip’d button I’ve installed at the bottom of each of my articles.  (Go ahead, try it. Don’t be shy!)

So what are you waiting for?  Go check out Tip’d!

I, too, have been enjoying Tip’d. The traffic seems to be of higher quality.

@ Miranda – Yes! Must be because everyone on Tip’s is already interested in finance articles. I’m liking it.

I’ve been reading up on this from other people and it seems like a nice community to get various quality information about situations I would be interested in.

I just registered; thanks for the “tip!”

I write for the Dollar Stretcher also, and this looks like a good place to get some attention for blogs in that community, also.

@ Craig, Beatriz – Go check it out and look me up! You can send messages now too.

I checked it out quickly. How do I find another member on the site? I tipped a few articles I like and will probably submit some in the future I like. Seems cool initially, I need to explore it more to learn how to utilize it.

Yes, as said by Miranda I am also enjoying Tip’d.

Through this we can really get important information on many situations.

People need information that would educate them on how they are going to handle their financial matters. Nowadays that money is very hard to earn people must think on how to save money. Saving money could help a person in times of emergency situation. But when a person is short in cash applying for payday loan is not a bad option. We already know that we are on economic crisis that’s why we must be responsible on our financial matter.

@ Peter – Yeah, we can find lots of great articles there!

@ Lisa P – I’m not sure I agree on payday loans. If a person isn’t careful, and let’s face it if you need a payday loan you probably haven’t been too careful, they can find themselves drowning in high interest fees.
