Who are the 100 Club?

The 100 Club is for Lensmasters who have created over 100 quality lenses here on Squidoo!

They are the best of the best. These top notch lens masters are known for their superior lens making abilities, mentoring, charity work and all around helpfulness.

You're likely to spot them on the 100 Lens Rank list, blogs and the SquidU Forum. Many of them are also Squid Angels and Citizen Squids.

Sound interesting? Good, because we are always on the lookout for more members.

Read on for more information about how your can join the 100 Club Ranks!

SOME QUICK FAQ'S 

Or, frequently given answers!

1. Yes, you must be a Giant Squid in order to apply for 100 Club status. Trust me, you'll learn a lot as a Giant Squid and there is not reason to rush yourself to make 100 lenses right off the bat. This gives you a little time to enjoy yourself as a Giant before you head to the next level!

2. Yes, we let new people into the program quarterly.

3. Yes, you could ask other Giants for input and advice along the way.

4. Yes, the lenses need to be together in just one lensmaster account.

5. Nope, Groups don't count toward 100 Club status. Groups and lenses are such different animals. The best Groups are about leadership and curation (letting only the best, most relevant lenses in), often run by a team. Whereas the best lenses are independent efforts at organizing the best content, ideas, recommendations, links and products on your topic.

NOT A GIANT YET? 

We've got a lens just for you!

WHAT THE 100 CLUB GETS 

You continue to get all the benefits that come with being a Giant like: access to the "Secret" Blog, Gold Stars, your shot at making The Giant Squids Top 100 list, the special dashboard, first crack at our coolest new tools and features, but you also get:

1. A special 100 Club Badge for your lenses.

2. A 20% lensrank boost for any (single) lens you choose.

3. There's a few more, but we like suprises so you'll just have to get into the 100 Club to see what they are!

WHAT THE 100 CLUB GIVES IN RETURN 

Mainly, inspiration.

Squidoo allows people to build a world of creativity, knowledge and fun. The 100 Club has the power to share this information with the world!

Being in the 100 Club puts you in the Squidoo spotlight and allows you to be a leader through your lenses, blogs and charity work both on and off of Squidoo.

This can be a big responsibility, but it can also be a tremendous amount of fun and very rewarding. By being a leader you are able to give back to the Squidoo community in ways you never imagined.

WHEN WE'RE ACCEPTING NEW PEOPLE INTO THE 100 CLUB 

Quarterly

The next deadline for admission is Dec. 31st, 2009.

I recently finished #100 "David Letterman's Top Ten List" Didn't think I would make it. I will have to throw in a few more before the 30th. Time is ticking by.

Great lens! It explains it all.

I believe this is the first time I've visited this lens Bonnie. I will be trying for the 100 Club next round. It takes passion, dedication; and in my case necessity is the mother of invention.
Informative lens! Thank you!
