One of the perks of being a Squidoo Giant is being able to test out lots of new gadgets on Squidoo before they go live. So over the past few days, I have been having fun playing with the new side widget. It works just like all of the other modules on your Squidoo lens, except these show up on the side. With the widget you can add an Amazon Spotlight, Featured Lenses, Squidcasts, or your Blog RSS.
This has really been fun. I think it really makes a difference as well. I have updated a few of my lenses and added the widget. I've also created a couple new lenses that display the new widgets.
Here are my two lastest lenses using the widgets. Gotta Love Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and Gotta Love Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner)

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!

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?

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!

Squidoo Lensography
Well after creating over 60 Squidoo lenses I decided it was time to create my first lensography. I have to say, I think this was probably my hardest lens to create. I don't think it will ever be complete as I'm sure I'll always be updating it.
Do you have a Squidoo Lensography? Please share it with me. I would love to read it.

Squidoo Loves me and You!
I was just at one of the blogs that I follow, called I Squidoo, Do You and found a wonderful e-book written for squidoo lensmasters.
This is just another example of why I love Squidoo so much. I have never been associated with a nicer more loving group of people. It's about helping each other and paying it forward.
So visit I Squidoo, Do You and pick up a copy of the e-book.

Squidoo Traffic
Here are 3 simple things you can do to up your rankings and get more traffic to your Squidoo lenses - today!
1. Start visiting other peoples lenses. Rate their lenses and add them to your favorites if you honestly loved it. Also be sure to leave a comment. Try to put some thought in your comment. Don't just say, "Nice Lens". When your comment has real value, it will cause curiosity and others will want to check you out. So they will either visit your profile, or visit a few of your lenses. I have also found that when you leave a positive comment on someone's lens, they will usually return the favor and visit your lens.
2. Put your lens in as many groups as possible within the same topic. This will also give you lots of exposure.
3. Twitter! If you don't use Twitter, you should check it out. Twitter is a social networking site that displays all of your daily actions on your profile. I twitter everything I do. I also follow anyone who follows me.
The most important this is to have fun. I love squidoo and have generated huge traffic to my website because of it. I have also made wonderful friends.
