Let's Talk Squidoo

So I know for the last week or two of blogs, I have been focusing on fractal art and all the tools available to help you get started capturing beautiful images, but I realized yesterday that while this is definitely a deserving topic to cover, I feel as though I have been neglecting discussion on some of my other projects. So, today and maybe for a few more days, I will be talking about Squidoo. If you are disappointed I won't be talking about fractals today, here is one more amazing resource I found just for you. Check it out and leave me a message with any questions if you want to discuss it further.

Alright, now before I can really get into discussing Squidoo, I need to explain what it is- Squidoo is basically a place where you can go and make one page websites on any topic you wish. The single-paged site is referred to as a "lens" because a good one will focus the reader's attention and enlighten them about the subject. Often the lenses are used just to inform, sometimes it's more of an extensive joke, or sometimes they are used to "pre-sell" a certain good or service. The person who creates the lens, called the "lensmaster" can make royalties off of the lens through Google AdSense and a host of other Affiliate Marketing techniques. Squidoo is unique in the sense that it also partners with some of the biggest, well-known charities to allow lensmasters the right to donate a portion or the entirety of their earnings to a charity of their choice. This is relatively unheard of in the affiliate marketing realm! The heart of Squidoo, however, is the community among the lensmasters. Almost every single lensmaster I have encountered has been genuinely interested in seeing everyone succeed and do well in this crazy adventure of creating and promoting lenses.

Still not convinced? Well, here is an article I wrote recently detailing 10 Reasons to Become a Lensmaster. It gives a better insight into what it means to be a lensmaster.

That's all I have time to cover today. In the next post I will get more into the tips and tricks I have learned from being a lensmaster.
