Squidoo - What is it?
1. WHAT IS SQUIDOO?
Squidoo is a great community of what we call lenses. These little site/blogs get great ranking on Google and are very fun to play around with and update.
2. SO, WHAT’S A LENS?
A lens is one person’s view on a topic that matters to her. It’s an easy-to-build, single web page that can point to blogs, favorite links, RSS feeds, Flickr photos, Google maps, your eBay auctions, CafePress designs, Amazon books or music, and more. Then, when someone is looking for recommended information, fast, your lens gets him started and sends him off in the right direction. Win, win!
Build one lens, build a hundred. It’s fast, fun, and free. (And you could earn a royalty–for you or for charity). What are you waiting for!
3. WHY SHOULD I BUILD A LENS?
Great question! Here are just a few reasons to get you creative muses flowing:
Share the knowledge: When you know a lot about something, it feels good to share. Help other people discover what you found out the hard way.
Increase your profile: A popular lens gives credibility to the Lensmaster. A popular lens reinforces your role as an “everyday expert.” And a popular lens makes you the go-to authority for those looking for help.
Increase your traffic: Your lens points (if you want it to) to your blog and to your website. Lenses have huge credibility with search engines, so your lens can help your other sites rise to the top of Google searches.
Earn a royalty for you, your organization, or your favorite charity. Think of the royalty as a bonus–and don’t quit your dayjob yet! A single lens might not earn a lot, but if you imagine hundreds of lenses working to your favor, or fundraising for a charity, it can really start to add up
If you want to see one for yourself, or even build your own go to Affiliate Marketing Tips and look under creating a website.
