Amelia Earhart Movie | Amelia Now on DVD

I just finished watching Amelia and just had to create a new Squidoo lens about Amelia Earhart. I love being a Squidoo lensmaster and being able to express things that I enjoy.

Amelia Earhart Movie | Amelia Now on DVD

I had so much fun with Squidoo in 2009

And am eager to see what 2010 will look like with my Squidoo Earnings.

It has been a great year. The last few months my Amazon sales have been terrific. But Squidoo isn't just about the money. It is just plain fun. I love being able to write about what I love. For me Squidoo is a hobby. It is very relaxing for me when I create a new lens.

Amazon and Squidoo

I am getting great results so far this holiday with Amazon and Squidoo. So far I have had 6 sales in November and 2 in December. It looks like December is going to be a great month with Squidoo Earnings. My lens Warm Snugly Slippers was the last sale. I sold two pairs of slippers. How cool is that!?

If you have any Squidoo Lenses, I suggest you make sure you have an Amazon module on all of your lenses, even if it isn't a sales lens. For example if you have a lens about Snow or How to Build a Snowman, you could ad an amazon module that sells gloves and scarves or snow shovels. Make it fun and watch your earning go up!

Debussy - Clair De Lune

My latest Squidoo lens  ...

I discovered Debussy when listening to Twilight. Bella wanted to see what he was listening to and when she pushed play Clair De Lune played. It was the most romantic and beautiful music I have ever heard. I am totally hooked.

Squidoo Has Christmas and Holiday Themes

I was pleasantly surprised today when I went to create a new lens a discovered that Squidoo has added two new themes Holiday themes. They are very festive. I love them. I was so excited that I went and updated all of my Chrismas lenses.

Here is my latest Christmas lens with one of the new Holiday themes.

Everything Scrooge -  A Christmas Carol

Twilight Series on Audio CD

My latest Squidoo lens...


If you have been wanting to read the Twilight Series by Stephanie Meyer, but just haven't had the time, then this collection may be the answer for you. These audio books are really fun to listen to. Audio books are great for people who would prefer to be read to or for those who spend a lot of time in your car.

This is my bio, I can update it later....

Warning.....Venting....

I'm not sure why it irritates me so much when I go to peoples squidoo pages and they have a very nice lens that is very thought out, yet the bio says..."This is my Bio- I can update it later".

Maybe it is because it makes me feel like they are hiding and don't want me to know "Who they are" or maybe they are just scattered and really don't care.

I just know for me, blogging and yes Squidoo is a blog, is about connecting with the reader. As as reader, I want to know who the writer is.

I'm just curious, Does this irritate anyone else or is it just me?

Twilight Action Figures

Many of you know that I am a huge Twilight fan. Well when I saw these adorable looking Twilight and New Moon action figures and Barbie dolls I knew I just had to make a lens about it. These are certainly a great Christmas Gift idea for the Twilight fans!

How to NOT have your Squidoo Locked promoting an Affiliate Marketing Program

Lots of people use Squidoo as a way to promote their affilaite programs. And that is fine as long as you are not creating a lens that is spammy!

I have 99 lenses and many of them promote an affiliate program. What I do is always write good unique content. I make sure I always give value that will help someone, rather than promote a product. Then I usually add a module with the link to my website. My two favorite modules are the "black Box" or "big arrow link". That is the only place I put my link. The biggest mistakes people make is that they put more than 2 links on their page.

The secret with marketing on Squidoo is to make your lens feel like an article with good information. If it feels like an advertisement it will probably be locked.

I hope this helps.

How to Ad Affiliate Marketing to Squidoo

Affiliate marketing is actually pretty easy to add to what you are doing. What you do is find a product that you like and you can build an article around that product. This is very direct. Here is an example.

http://www.squidoo.com/internet_income_training

I am directly promoting My Online Income System at Squidoo. What I do is I use this squidoo page as a landing page. Because if you write an article and submit is to article sites, most sites will not let you post an affiliate link. So the way around this is to direct them to your squidoo lens.

Then there is the not direct approach. Write a lens or a hubpage about a topic that interests you, then find an affiliate program that is similar and add it as a link to the page. Here is an example...

http://www.squidoo.com/diabetes-and-feet

With this lens, I added a link to diabetes control made easy, which I am an affiliate for. I also linked in my lens about Diabetes made easy.

Squidoo is Fun

I was just putting the final touches on my latest Squidoo Lens and I started thinking about how much really enjoyed making this lens. Each lens that I create are special to me in their own way. Squidoo has really become an every day part of my life. When I think of something that is important to me or strikes a nerve with me, I often find myself creating a lens. It really is just plain fun to make lenses. It gives me a chance to be creative and express myself. What's really cool though is that once again around the 10th of the month, I will be getting squidoo earnings.

My Squidoo Tribute to Michael Jackson

This has been a really unusually sad week with the deaths of Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. This morning I was telling my daughter about one of the first songs that I remember Michael doing, "Ben". So I found a You tube video and shared it with her. The next thing I new I ending up creating a lens. I wanted to share it with you here.

http://www.squidoo.com/michael-jackson-performances

He was such a talented person and he will be missed.

This Michael Jackson Post is available at AllPosters.com

Networking on Squidoo

The thing that makes Squidoo work is the "networking". You can build relationships with other lensmasters which create curiosity so people will visit your lens as well. In other words, when ever someone visits my lens I always recipricate by visiting at least one of their lenses. Sometimes when I get to their lens It isn't something that I totally agree with, but I will alway leave a comment even if it is just letting them know that I was their. Most lensmasters do the same thing.

So if you want traffic to your squidoo lens, you should right now, go visit at least 20 lenses that are similar to yours and add a comment and rate at the least. Then watch what happens. I bet you, at least 5 of those people if not more will do the same for you! Have fun!

How to use animated graphics on Squidoo

Before you push publish on your Squidoo Lens...

Re-read every module. Check for grammar errors or spelling errors. You may even want to have someone else read your lens. I always have one of my teenager's have a look at my lenses and they always catch errors and they often have so great ideas as to what I should add.

Check and make sure each model title is filled out (rather than the default one). For example your guest book should not say "new guestbook".
Ask yourself if there is a module that you could add? I like to add interactive modules like the debate or guest book.
Then, After you push publish be sure to share it with the world. And make sure you send it to me! :)

Write from the Heart!

Out of all of my lenses the ones that get the most traffic and comments are the ones that I am passionate about.

That first text module is often the hardest, but if you write from your heart the rest of the lens will flow out of you very easily.

I write about everything and anything. I write about personal challenges that I have had, and offer help to others who may be going through the same thing, or I might write about a funny experience or something that made me smile. I often write about challenges that network marketers have and share how I have overcame them.

For me, it doesn’t matter what the topic is, I write from my heart and always think about the reader first. I am thinking about how I can help them.

The biggest mistake people make when creating Squidoo lenses, is they are trying to sell a product. And so the lens appears to be one big sales add.

It is okay to sell. I mean I have links to my products and Amazon links on most of my lenses, but I first write from the heart and offer help to the reader.

To you Squidoo Success!

Today is our 20th Anniversary

Giant Squid

Well it's taken a year and now with over 70 lenses I have made Giant Squid!

I love Squidoo for so many reasons. Squidoo has connected me with amazing people and has been a way for me to help others. As many of you know, I am a network marketer and am very passionate about teaching others and helping them to be successful and avoid the pitfalls in network marketing. Through my Squidoo lenses I believe I have been able to help many people.

I have recently decided that now that I have become a Giant, it is time for me to pay it forward and help others with Squidoo. So I have created a new Squidoo Tips Newsletter. I will be sending out weekly Squidoo Tips.
