Learn Squidoo Step By Step

Posted on July 7, 2011 by Michey

valensquid sm Learn Squidoo Step By StepIf you like to create great Squidoo Lenses, you have a great chance to get all the necessary knowledge provide by a free eBook “Learn Squidoo Step By Step“ which I highly recommend.

It was written by well know and successful lensmasters: AJ, Bev and Paula, you can click on links to see their great portfolio.

Squidoo is a revenue sharing platform, easy to use but to mastermind the lenses for big revenue is hard working and some solid knowledge is required.

The aim of this eBook is to provide a real guidebook coming from experience, a checklist for new Squids, and frankly all you need to create lenses which are successful and produce revenue.

At the core of earnings are:

  • Affiliate programs: Amazon, Zazzle, CafePress, AllPosters, eBay so they are explain with details
  • SEO
  • Promotion of the lenses

To encourage promotion the eBook recommends:

  • The use of dynamically allocated modules such RSS, Twitter Search, Google news
  • Suggested services to monitor trends, Google Alerts included
  • External sources as blogs, article Directory, bookmarking sites
  • Create Multi-user Communities

To make Squidoo lenses SEO friendly, an entire section about keyword research, tools and tips was created.

I recommend the guidebook because:

  1. all levels of Squidoo lensmasters can find good tips to improve and generate profit
  2. changes related with Google ranking algorithm and Squidoo TOS are included
  3. copyright infringements is discussed

So the guidebook teaches to produce more revenue with Squidoo lenses but in the same time a concern is raise to do it legally, ethically, and with professionalism.

If you need more info you can read the guidebook lens from where you can download the free eBook.

Surprise Squidoo Purple Star

Posted on February 20, 2011 by Michey

purplesquid1 Surprise Squidoo Purple StarToday I get a great surprise, a new purple star for my “Quotes About Happiness“, a Squidoo lens I love.

For a long time I struggle to get attention to this lens which I think it is:

  • A relaxing read
  • A positive approach in life
  • A nice tribute for Dalai Lama philosophy
  • A great advice to work toward our own happiness, as if we don’t nobody will…

Only now I get the deserved attention, and I am glad we start again to focus on the positive aspects of our lives.

I think just siting and thinking “What makes you happy” , it is a great new beginning on starting improving your life. Don’t you think?

This is the comment I like the most:

“Happiness is in being and in doing and in learning. However, to be truly blessed, we must give love in everything – it then comes back in the most surprising ways.” By Chris Day

Squidoo Awards

Posted on February 8, 2011 by Michey

purple star1 Squidoo AwardsBeing a Squidoo lens master who perform well and work hard it is a joy as Squidoo awards our best lenses with a Purple Star.

It is an awesome thrill, we have no idea when is happening, it is always a surprise, and always for good quality lenses, and when we get it the Purple Star will stay forever. Sure you can argue that it is a subjective matter, I say, it is not, as the award follow Seth Godin principle under which the Squidoo was created.

A lens has value if follows the 3U:
Unique - Useful – Up To Date.

What this award really represent is:

  • the recogntion of its value, uniqueness, usefulness
  • a well done lenses, good layout, pictures
  • a way to teach novice squids how a lens must be created

This is my list of Purple Star lenses (you will notice the little purple star near the title):

http://www.squidoo.com/Paris-Gothic-2
http://www.squidoo.com/MichaelaCernescu
http://www.squidoo.com/TeaParty2009

The second award is Lens Of The Day (LOTD).

LOTD1 Squidoo AwardsEvery day Squidoo staff pick one lens, just one, and spotlight it as it  is topnotch, the lens really stand out, for innovating, experimenting, storytelling, and sharing. Usually the LOTD nomination produce a lot of traffic for the lens master.

This is an example of LOTD from my lenses:

http://www.squidoo.com/modern-architecture-calatrava

So squidoo is a platform which is interesting, kind, open source, with the less constrain possible (the common sense ones) where your imagination can get wild.

As a lens master we gain money from affiliation, direct sales, Google adsense. The earnings are divided between the charities of our choice and us. Both awards will increase traffic and to some extend our earnings.

Squid Angel Work Part II

Posted on December 19, 2010 by Michey

angel3 Squid Angel Work Part IISo the Squid Angel sojourn I told you about in previous post …  it is working well.

I am only 1/2 through, I find so far a lot of great lenses, and  I sprinkling Stardust Blessing them.

I have to organize my work so I come out with a classification on my own ( I don’t call them categories to avoid the confusion with categories we already have in Squidoo).

You can find my choices for:

  • Holiday Lenses
  • Architecture and Travel
  • Art Lenses
  • International Cuisine
  • Exceptional Value Lenses
  • Patriotic Lenses
  • Lenses For Our Soul
  • Experiments
  • Lensography – People
  • Technical Lenses and Learn To Squidoo
  • What Is So Special About Angeling
  • What Makes A Good Lens!

To avoid duplication of content I give you the link:

http://www.squidoo.com/how-i-am-doing-as-an-angel

I have had a couple of great surprises as the quantity of very young people who started to do Squidoo and how quickly they master the system.
Squidoo is a easy platform to use, but still it is a learning curve to do it right, and to do it at the level of producing a comfortable amount of money.
There are lensmasters  who make $20.00 per month and some who make thousands. So the skills of the last category take some time to master, and a lot of knowledge and dedication.

The good part is that Squidoo is a free platform to use and there are numerous lenses from which newbies can learn for free.

In summary my Angel lens is doing well and I invite you to visit.

Squid Angel Work

Posted on December 13, 2010 by Michey

Angel01 300x160 Squid Angel WorkSome Squidoo lensmasters who are Squids with great working standards, have the privilege of joining “Squid Angels” squad for 30 days.
Squid Angels are people who will make a difference, they will find lenses with great value on  Squidoo community, and they will Bless them.
Doing so, we will encourage good work, and give a bust in Squidoo ranking.
RingoSquid Squid Angel WorkIt is a system you will not find in other communities, it is about empowering the Squid Angels as individuals expressing freely their opinions, and  we will create an array of valuable opinions, and ideas.

The system is implemented because Squidoo is an Open Source Platform where Squid Angels  can:

  • contribute, expressing their own opinions
  • they are helping with generosity, and great professionalism
  • they are allowed to appreciate stories, problems, accomplishments, ideas
  • their own talents and skills are recognized
  • they are part of a community of choice and they are totally free to express themselves

For the month of December I am a Squid Angel and I create a lens exposing my chooses. You can look it over:
http://www.squidoo.com/how-i-am-doing-as-an-angel

So I am really busy in December, I create my own classification, I create the structure, I add my work daily, until the end of my Angeling duty. You will see my choices, how the work is progressing,  and the value and diversification of out work on Squidoo.

Squidoo Angel is a volunteer position. As an angel, I have the responsibility to help make Squidoo a better place for all lensmasters. So I am humble and glad that is my time to serve.
