Squidoo, Squidoo, Squidoo
Dear Fellow Online Enthusiast, You're probably all familiar with blogging, as it's a great way to get your message out to people who know you and want to hear something from you.
But honestly, there is no significant traffic on a blog, unless you're ruthlessly promoting it through online advertising and other methods.
If you want to make money AND get your information seen by people who don't even know you, you might want to consider something called Squidoo.
Squidoo has been around for a couple of years, and has made a big name for itself as a free information, blog-like service, with a twist.
Some even say that Squidoo has "Google Juice", meaning you get great SEO rankings with your lens.
I've seen my lenses on at least the first pages of search results, and it is incredible how easy these lenses are to create and edit.
You can build a lens (actually a minisite) for free and get the word out on just about anything you want to, and even make money in the process.
You can even donate that money to charity through the many companies that are partnered with Squidoo.
It's all in good fun and you'll be a part of an active and ever-growing community.
You can set your lens up as an income generator, where you would have links for Amazon, eBay, iTunes, NetFlix and a host of other ecommerce companies.
And a part or all of that income can be donated to any number of charities also listed on Squidoo.
There are actually four main ways to build your Squidoo lens, including a purely informational site with links to your main website, as is the case for Jane Goodall, a woman well known for being a wildlife conservationist.
Her lens (listed below) is focused on her work with the chimpanzees and for getting the word out on animal conservationism.
In between those extremes, you'll find over 114,000 different lenses (and counting!) on various topics from painting, crafts, reading, the 80's, famous people, food, and the list goes on and on.
Each lens is set up in a similar way, but there are so many choices you can make as to what goes into your lens.
If you're still in the dark as to what Squidoo is and what it can do for you, I invite you to take a look at what I and others have done by visiting the lenses below.
Most of all, enjoy your day! Robert Choi
