What Is Squidoo?

Here's a new one for you! And, don't forget who hooked you up with this one! This is a totally new concept in which Squidoo.com gives you a blank web page and you create anything you want on the page!

When you create a page it's called a lens. Once you get the hang of it you'll think of all sorts of subjects to write about. Now, most of the time when you get a free web page or site there is obnoxious advertising on it that you can't control and certainly don't receive any revenue from. Squidoo on the other hand, let's you choose the exact products you want to sell at your web page and splits and commissions with you from the sales! They make it really easy to add products from Amazon, Ebay, Cafe Press and other online retailers by simply adding a module and picking your merchandise.

If your just starting out and want a calling card on the web to introduce yourself this might be perfect for you.

If you have a photography website to promote, write a Squidoo Lens and link it into and out from your site and blog. You'll bring targeted traffic to your website and traffic to your Squidoo Lens from your blog in a nice link loop. Sign up Today and quickly create a free online web page to promote your photography website.

Here's how Squidoo works:

* Sign up NOW! for Squidoo.com
* Fill out the bio and profile information and load a profile photo. Introduce yourself and what you do. Try to sound fun!
* Start your first lens by picking a topic.
* Then add a links module to link to your favorite sites.
* If you'd like add the Google Maps module to show where your from.
* Maybe add a Flickr module to display your flickr gallery.
* add a RSS feed module to tap into your favorite site feed.
* If you have del.icio.us, add a del.icio.us module to show your social bookmarking feed.
* when visitors purchase product and/or services that you offer via your lens you earn money. Funds are paid via PayPal.

Remember you will probably make a little money with your Squidoo Lens. You may keep the money or easily donate your earnings to a variety of charities. Create your own Squidoo now and when you earn your first $15 on that lens, you'll get a $5 additional bonus!
