What To Do When You Are *NEW* To Squidoo

Here is quick explanation of what Squidoo is so that you have a better understanding of what you are working with.

Squidoo is basically a quick and easy way to create a webpage except that it is built with different modules. You can pick and choose modules at any time. Add the ones you need or want, delete the ones that aren't relevant to your page. Each different section that you see in this lens is created from a module. The one that you are currently reading is the "Text Module". But they have TONS of different modules to choose from such as video, pictures, Ebay, Amazon, guest book, Wikipedia, and many more!

Squidoo modules are individual Squidoo website building blocks. This is a simple as I can explain it. They allow you as the lensmaster to create blocks of information without having to write programming code because the coding is all done for you. You can create a lens and add almost kind of information that you would like, without having any web design experience.

Squidoo is one of the largest social networking sites next to Facebook BUT it is networking through creating lenses rather than collecting friends. All of Squidoo lenses get listed in the Squidoo directory so that people can type into the Squidoo serach bar and find a lens on any topic. Also if a lens is created properly then it will get picked up in Google's natural listings, this way you will receive tons of exposure on topics you are trying to promote. This is particularly great when you are trying to sell a product on your lens. If you are looking to learn more about selling products online and being an affiliate to different companies then the best place to learn everything you need to know about making money online is Wealthy Affiliate.com. This is the place that I started years ago and now I make enough money to work from the comfort of my own home.

Every internet marketer should take advantage of great sites like Squidoo to get free publicity for their products BUT spamming will just get your account shut down so if you are trying to promote products by using Squidoo then you have to create a quality lens that tells the audience a story about your product rather than just creating an advertising pitch and throwing your links everywhere. A quality lens will go a long way...trust me.

So what's next you ask? Well creating a professional looking lens takes time! What you should do after you create your first lens is start playing around with the different modules, seeing how they work and what they look like on your page. Take time and look at other peoples lens, rate them, and see if there is anything that you would like to incorporate into your lens.

Then you can sign up to Twitter, Delicious, Digg, and Stumble It (all on the right hand side of your lens after you create it) and get even more traffic going to your lens! The more traffic your lens has the higher rank it gets and the more sales you get!
