I have definitely been on a Squidoo joyride lately. For some reason, I absolutely love it!
It started about a year ago, when I began reading Pot Pie Girl's One Week Marketing Plan and started making these cool little "Squidoo Lenses," which are - for lack of a better definition - mini little "microsites" that give the writer a free web platform from which to:
1) Voice an opinion
2) Teach a skill
3) Sell some stuff
4) Promote a cause
5) And just about anything else (that's G-rated, that is!)
I have not written nearly enough of these small "micro-sites" yet to be considered an expert by any shake of the stick.
But I've written enough of them to (drum roll...) actually do well enough to have won a neat contest Squidoo is hosting this summer called the Summer Sunshine Awards!
My last "lens" (A lens is the actual webpage the user creates, and the user is a "lensmaster.") was about Squidoo Tips for Newbies and I not only won $99 for my efforts, but I also helped an animal charity called Paws Animal Kingdom win $99 as well!
To tell you that I was really psyched is an understatement!
I am also really humbled and honored.
Sure, I sell stuff on Squidoo. But I also LEARN stuff - I learn from a bunch of other lensmasters who are sharing info (and also selling stuff) - and I've made some amazing connections with people from all over the globe as a result!
Not bad for a writer living in a remote little corner of northern New Hampshire!
So, if you have not checked out Squidoo, please go on over to my humble little Squidoo Guide and Tips lens and check it out - and feel free to grab a copy of your Free Squidoo Guide eBook while you're at it.
It's easy, and you may find yourself getting as hooked on it as I am!
Have fun
