Saturday Squidoo Stuff
Cool Stuff at Cool Squidoo Blogs
Figured I start something new now that I have started a list of the Top 100 Squidoo Blogs. How about we take a peek around and see what some of these wonderful folks are talking about? If you want to learn how to Squidoo, who better to learn from than the folks that have a real passion for it?
Helping New Squidoo’rs
Looks like Joan is at it again – helping someone else get addicted to Squidoo! Over at Squidoo Kindergarten, Joan gives props to a new lensmaster that she’s been helping and links out to his very first lens which is a GREAT resource for new lensmasters! (Well done, SittonBull…. and welcome to Squidoo!)
Tipping? Yes or No?
There’s been a bit of discussion lately about “tip jars” being on Squidoo lenses. Good ol’ Captain Squid has a great discussion going on over at his blog about this very topic -read what The Captain has to say about Why Tip Jars and Squidoo Don’t Mix (looks like Megan at Squidoo feels the same way 🙂 )
TwttrStrm (read: TwitterStorm)
Leave it to Squidoo to come up with a REALLY cool way to incorporate Twitter and Squidoo called TwitterStorm (twttrstrm). Over at SquidooCool.com, Lewis talks about how HE plans on using TWTTRSTRM. Good read =)
Friendly Contests?
Over at So You Want To Be A Giant Squid, there’s a new contest on the books for the month of February. I bet you will find this new Squidoo lens contest very FRIENDLY 😉
Angels Among Us
Be sure to stop by Squidoography and welcome one of our newest Squidoo Angels! I’ve been good all year… hint, hint! Oh wait, that’s what I say to Santa, isn’t it? Oh well….
I Think I’m a Member…
JeffWend has shared a VERY cool tool on his Observations Of A Giant Squid Blog. You know how we join all these social web 2.0-y sites? Every forget which ones you are a member of? Ever wonder if your user name is available at other sites? Ever wonder WHAT other sites you can use to promote your lenses? Check out this post about User Name Checker at Jeff’s blog. (note from me: This little tool checks SIXTY-EIGHT sites… I found myself saying, “Oh wow, forgot I signed up there!” and ” NEVER heard of THAT site!”)
Squidoo Is Like Blogging?
Great post from over at SquidooHQ – 7 Reasons To Treat Your Squidoo Lenses Like Blog Posts. Not only a great read, but made some VERY good points!
I hope you will visit all these great Squidoo bloggers! You can see (or JOIN) my list of the Top 100 Squidoo blogs here, or see the latest posts from many of these Squidoo blogs here.
Have a great weekend!
Jennifer,
I think you’ve really helped so many people get started making money online, and it’s great! I agree with you that Squidoo is such a valuable resource for the online money making community. It’s how I got started. (And how I found out about you!) Two things I really like about Squidoo in addition to all you’ve mentioned in this post – Squidoo gives back! A portion of the money raised through ads goes to you, a portion to Squidoo, and a portion to charity! This is a great charity fund raising site. The second thing I really like about Squidoo is that it’s a great place for anyone with no experience making websites to get started. It’s pretty easy, it’s fun, and there are people like you to help. I’ve helped numerous people get started (in person at my kitchen table), and it’s a great way to see if someone is going to love doing this, or prefer to do something else. Just like I’ll never enjoy watching old war movies or tinkering on a car in my garage, some people just will not like this. I always recommend testing the water for free, and not investing a single penny (pun intended!) until they think this is something that will make them happy, or even make their heart sing! Thanks for being the pied piper!
Jennifer, Thank you so much for your wonderful compliment and welcome under “Helping New Squidoos” Joan and her sister Nancy (Ohme) have been such wonderful mentors that are counted among my many blessings. You have set the bar high as PotPieGirl and it is also a significant blessing for us all in Squidoo, that you are giving us all the opportunity to learn what you have learned brings success! Thank you for all that you do! I was also pleased to see that you have been involved in the golf profession, which I also do some work in. Thanks again! Sittonbull
Hi Jennifer
This is very helpful. Once I found about One Week Marketing I fell in love with Squidoo. But my questions never end so any repository of information about Squidoo I’m all over it.
I love what you do. The Potpiegirl is one of the first people I turn to to get guidance on how to make money online. Thanks for keeping the hook up.
That username checker tool was just what I was looking for. I’ve signed up for so may tools and web 2 stuff that I constantly forget where I’ve been 🙂
wow!! I am so flattered that you included Squidoo Kindergarten in today’s post! and John’s lens too! Yippee!
As you know you are one of few people I have ever trusted on the internet re marketing advice. But you and Pat O’Bryan are at the very top of my list!
I am seriously following the One Week Marketing Plan and totally appreciate having a real plan of action every week – I am no longer floundering around trying to do 100 things at once – (down to at least 50 at once with house and grands and OWM!) Thank you!
