My First Investment: Attention, Focus, Time...
I started out as a newbie, noob, greenhorn, nobody...enough! A Beginner.
Instant Free Educational Benefits - Truly A Good Investment!
Every day, I've learned a lot of new things...
Because I'm a lensmaster on Squidoo.com -
I became much more efficient as an online marketer for my existing business.
I became familiar with basic HTML coding.
I've learned a thing or two about advanced HTML applications.

- I have a nice little blog with already a bit of Google PR.
- I subscribe to a number of outstanding blogs by other people.
- I know how to set up online stores on CafePress, Zazzle, etc.
- I've acquired a basic understanding of Search Engine Optimization.
- I find my way around in the social networking scene.
- I'm socializing comfortably with a large number of online friends in the SquidU forum.
- I have a huge list of resources available for almost anything I want to learn.
- I found wonderful opportunities for helping other folks by sharing my knowledge and supporting their online endeavors.
All this, and more, happened within a few short months - and totally free of charge! How cool is that!
What Makes Me Very Happy Is -
Squidoo offers me a fantastic outlet for my creativity. I can express myself about things that are important to me and Squidoo helps me to make it look good for "the world" to see.
I am part of a generous community of peers. A visit to the SquidU forum is like a Sunday afternoon backyard BBQ, an evening at your favorite neighborhood bar, or a meeting with friends who are all on the same "mission" - to support each other and to have a good time doing it. Priceless - I'd say. Better'n VISA...
Squidoo Gave Me Wings To Fly!
I'm tremendously proud of my badges and accolades...

So far, I've been having fun. I'm a born writer that's a little lost at the moment. Squidoo has been a beautiful indulgence I've gifted myself with and the idea of having fun has gone completely over-the-limit big time to the stars. Just starting, but I may even be finding my way in life one lens at a time. (Thanks again CK, always an inspiration, 5*'s.)

Squidoo is a great investment for all the rewards of being able to express yourself, meet great lensmasters, and sometimes earn enough royalties to pay for the cat's boarding or maybe a new tire for your car! ;)

This Is The Only EBook I Recommend For Creating Real Income Through Squidoo!
I've bought several ebooks before - but this one is the best!
Many of you know our fellow Squidoo lensmaster PotPieGirl. She is one of the top earners on the site, and the most generous woman on the web.But what's most important - she knows how to explain her success strategies, so even a web dummy like myself can understand them.
I've learned a tremendous amount about SEO and website design from her countless blog posts, lenses and articles.
- Now she has published a course that contains everything she knows about "making real money with Squidoo".
- I bought it as soon as I heard about it.
- I trust PotPieGirl (Jennifer) with all my heart. She is honest, generous, and extremely talented as a teacher! And she started out knowing as little as I (we) do about the financial possibilities on the web. So, she really can relate...
- She truly wants all of us to be successful on the internet.
- That's why I recommend her course - actually 5 books! - to all my friends!
One of our top lensmasters wrote me this note:
"Dear Chef,
Last week I read your review/endorsement for PotPieGirl's e-book The One Week Marketing Plan. I bought a few e-books when I first started on Squidoo, but was very unhappy with what I got.
I really like your lenses and I believe you're an honest shooter so I took a chance and bought Jennifer's book. While I don't agree with everything she proposes, I learned a great deal. My lenses are more focused and traffic is up.
I would not have bought the book without your endorsement. I just wanted to say thanks."
Another lensmaster asked me for my "honest" opinion on this course. I replied to her:
"You can learn anything you need to know about internet marketing - for free. PotPieGirl did it. It took her about a year and a half, working her butt off every day, into the night.
This is where the value of this course comes in - we don't have to spend 18 months to research and study and fail and start over, etc., as PotPieGirl did. She gives us everything she knows in a concise form, with action plans and step-by-step instructions, so we can start immediately with our campaigns. Not bad, huh?
Even if you don't want to get too deep into affiliate marketing (like myself, as I'm building my own brand), OWM gives you amazing tips in regard to more efficient Squidoo lens building, so you get found better online.
PPG never says that it's an easy overnight success to make money from affiliate marketing. It takes work, time, and commitment. If you are willing to do the work, this course is a truly great investment. In addition, PPG is very accessible. You can always ask her questions, and she shares a lot of support through her blog. You won't find this kind of support with many other such products.
To sum it up - the cost of the course might save you a year's worth of work, if you're serious about making money online through internet marketing."
One of our most prolific lensmasters - a Giant100 Club member and a Squid Angel - hesitated on a purchase decision because she thought she might know most of the info already. My following thoughts convinced her of the true value of this investment:
"Sometimes, even though we know part of the offered program already, the insights and methods of a proven successful operator help us to "bring it all together" - our existing knowledge and new information.
We tend to get stuck with what we've learned on a certain path, leaving not much room for flexibility. You know how we sometimes need to get away from it all to gain a new perspective.
With OWM we have a proven method with exact steps to follow regardless of how our personal learning experience has pressed us into a narrow evolutionary path. For most of these steps we don't really have to think too much for ourselves but just follow the guidelines and "do the work".
The time we spend doubting ourselves, trying different methods, studying other people's instructions and recommendations, is probably worth much more and wasted in huge proportions compared to the relatively low cost of this course."

I agree with you on Jennifer the Pot Pie Girl. I don't use the net for income, but to get my screwball ideas out there where they can be dissected and improved. One week marketing is one of the few internet educations that is immediately useful and easily applied.
As to Chef Keem; I don't think a standard mold was used when you were baked, so they won't have to break it. Keep on, keeping on, my friend.
