Are You on Squidoo Yet?
By
If you’re not using Squidoo as part of your marketing plan, you’re missing out on a very easy way to make money. A Squidoo page is a somewhat blended idea. Not exactly a blog, but not quite a website either. Each page you create is called a lens, and you can make unlimited numbers of lenses, on any topic you desire. It’s extremely user-friendly and you can realistically set up a lens in a matter of minutes.
While a Squidoo lens could benefit nearly any online business, it’s becoming increasingly popular among online marketers. They’re flocking to Squidoo for several reasons. Besides the simplistic use and rapid set-up, they love the fact Squidoo offers the opportunity for unlimited lens making at no cost. They also realize the value of being able to place an opt-in box and contact information on their lens, making it easy to build a list of subscribers.
A Squidoo lens is an excellent place to display your products and affiliate products. Each product can have its own individual lens. Pictures can be uploaded with a click of the mouse, a perfect way to display the cover graphics alongside a synopsis of the eBook. Add your Squidoo lens address to your email or forum signature. Anyone who sees it can click on the link and be transported directly to your domain.
Using the easy to insert modules, each lens can be monetized in several different ways in addition to advertising your own product or service. Related products can be offered, affiliate links added, even popular items from eBay and Amazon can contribute to your income. With so many module choices and the broad freedom of arrangement allowed, the possibilities seem virtually endless.
Once your Squidoo lens is published, you’re able to join any number of Squidoo groups. They even have some just for marketers! We all know the best advertising is word of mouth, and the power of social networking can’t be stressed enough. Being a part of the Squidoo Groups offers both benefits to help springboard your online career.
And you can learn and jump start your Squidoo efforts with recognized Squidoo expert Tiffany and her book “Social Networking on Squidoo”. In addition to the book, you’ll get following bonus materials:
- 10 Hot Amazon Squidoo Lens Ideas,
- Flip That Lens,
- Yanik Silver Grills Tiffany Dow About Squidoo and
- My Multi-Layered Mindset of Web 2.0 Marketing Guide.

I have yet to try Squidoo, but i’ve heard lots on them. Some bloggers swear by the link advantages of a Squidoo lens, at some point i will have to give it a spin for myself and see.
A Squidoo expert? Sounds good. Will give it a look.

I know Tiffany for over a year and her information is solid, she is actually called Squidoo Queen and own a small empire of lenses on Squidoo. I bought her book in 2007 and it did help me to get the most of Squidoo, plus every time she updates a book - I got new info for free.

Stephanie is most certainly the go to girl for Squidoo (as well as hub pages from what I understand now), but unfortunately $47 isn’t in the budget right now.

Yes, I am on Squidoo. There are many knowledgable Squidoo Lensmasters that you can get good information on “how to Squidoo”. However, I agree with Max. Tiffany Dow is one of the top Squidoo experts for learning “how to” Squidoo plus Tiffany Dow gives the best guidance, Squidoo marketing information, and social marketing tips you need to succeed.
