Okay so I felt this was a necessary post because I just spent the last 2 days trying to figure this out. I Googled and searched and check every FAQ Page I could find and the answer to my question was eluding me. How To Pick Your Own Sverve Tip Images? Yup, simple question right? Apparently not so simple.
It all started with my post about putting the You in YouTube and my wanting to share it as a Tip on my Sverve account.
What Is Sverve?
Sverve is an easy way for Influencers (Bloggers) to create a connection with Brands based on their impact throughout their Social Media presence. You are given a Score much like other Influence measurements and that Score can help determine what Brand Campaigns you qualify and are able to Apply for. If you haven’t joined yet Join Sverve Now! It’s easy to do and the benefits and definitely worth the clicks.
What’s A Tip?
Submitting Tips from either your site or other Bloggers can add to your Influence and thereby increase your score. It also shows your support of other Bloggers and Influencers within Sverve which can lead to new connections and support for your own content.
Now, this is back to where I started in the beginning. I was trying to submit a Tip for one of my recent post about YouTube and wanted to be certain that the image I worked so hard on was included. Yet each time I submitted my Post (directly from the URL) no image was added. For whatever reason it was not being pulled from the post.
After a few days of searching and not finding a way to select my own image I reached out to Sverve’s Twitter Account for help. I received an immediate response with an even faster solution.
Ok so now I was able to delete the several attempts I’d made at picking an image for my Tip. There is nothing worse than a Sverve Tip with no image at all. It doesn’t give the reader a reason to click or share it. Once I had those deleted I went to the Bookmarklet Link.
It was here that I found out that Sverve, much like Pinterest, offers a Bookmark addition that allows you to add any post and choice of it’s images to their site. Yay!
How Did I Do It?
That link takes you directly to the Bookmarklet page within the Sverve site. There you can select your preferred Browser and simply drag the Sverve tab to your Bookmark Section (be sure your Bookmarks are visible before you drag it) and your done!
Once you have the tab there you can go to whatever Post you wish to share, click the tab and a window will open with all of the images related to that post. Woot-Woot! Then you get to select what image you want to use and simply click Add Tip!
Super easy right? Yes! It was.
Look At That! I was able to add my Tip with two different images, both my info graphic and my post title image. I was (am) so excited! I now have a great way to not only add my own posts as Tip but to help support and promote my fellow Bloggers directly from their Posts!
Up until tonight, I have only known how to add Tips from my phone which meant trying to copy a link from a tweet or something and then add it hoping it would pick the right or appropriate image. No More! I can Add Tips and Pick Tip Images with ease and now you can too!

Hi Tiffany:
Thanks for the info. I am new to Sverve. Love it- but was noticing that sometimes my pictures would show up and other times it wouldn't. I think it is because I wasn't always submitting my tip with the bookmark. Thanks for the info! Also sharing some Sverve love!
My recent post The “Fantastic Gifts For Graduates” Round-Up
Anytime! Thanks so much for the share support. I truly appreciate it. It was frustrating but I am just happy I found an easy solution, I\’m glad it helped you out 🙂
Great tip, I'm definitely going to be using it. I haven't really added any tips to Sverve because of this very issue! Pinning it, thanks for joining us on the TGIF Hop. 🙂
My recent post Blogger Sign up! Visa GC $100
Hi Silvie! I\’m so glad you found some information you needed. I had been adding less for the same reason and when it took me as long as it did to track down the day way I knew I had to share it. It was my pleasure to join and I hope to join up again next TGIF 😀
Great tip, Tiffany! I had this same problem earlier this week so I'm thrilled I came across your post.
My recent post Printable Teacher Appreciation Card for the End of School
Thanks Carrie! I am learning as I go but when it is hard to find the answer I always want to share it. I\’m glad it has been a help 🙂
Exellent tips! I'd had totally be slacking when it came to Sverve. Trying to keep up with all my other social media, it just kinda went by the wayside. I too use the Bookmarklet to select my image and make sharing posts easy. Now if only I would remember to use it!
My recent post Save On Groceries and At The Pump with Harveys fuelperks!
Thanks! Sverve tends to go by the wayside a bit for me as well but I usually kept up with it through my phone. This will definitely make it a lot easier to stay active on it.
Great post!
Thanks Laura! Glad to have you come by and visit a bit 🙂
Now that I have finally found a good HOW TO site I have subscribed and bookmarked you. Once I get together all the info I need for using StumbleUpon and You Tube i need to know how to properly link back to the resources (mainly you). Just reusing your intro or image with you URL feels like stealing to me. That way I think would give me a click and a backlink, and you would get a click and the user. Is this right and proper? I still haven't figured out the SEO rating bit and pagerank. My blog is only 5 months old so I am still getting more and more behind. :). Research, to do lists, posts, sharing, commenting… Time for a nap! Thx for all your good advice and please know people are reading and benefiting! Blessings.
My recent post Apple Lettuce Salad
Wow, thanks a lot for that Marilyn. It means a lot. I remember (and even know now) how hard it can be as a new Blogger to find your way through certain media networks and connections so I want to share what I know as I know it as easy a way possible. I do think your right about how the way a link or URL link would work but if you really want to use it let me know and we can come up with a way even if I rewrite the first paragraph (the first 100 weds tend to impact SEO ratings) and then you repost it simply giving me credit to my site and such via link. Feel free to email me: mrstee@themrstee.com
Thank you, I got too frustrated and gave up on trying to add tips without pics. I'll try this out later today.
You Welcome! I was close to that point too believe me. This makes it so easy 🙂
