Celebrating my 200th Squidoo Lens by Giving the Thumbs Up to 100 More

At the end of July, 2009 I created my 100th Squidoo lens, and to celebrate the occasion I decided to visit and rate 100 different lenses. Now, a year later I am creating my 200th lens and decided to do the same.

While I did briefly contemplate visiting 200 lenses, I decided that such would be while not impossible, very time consuming, and contrary to popular opinion I do have a life outside of Squidoo. Umm-- really, I do. There's blogging and Facebook too!

I will begin my visiting by going to my own fan page. A lensmaster will be selected at random and one of their lenses commented on and rated. I will then visit that lensmaster's fan page and do the same. Until I have visited 100 different lenses. All sorts of lenses can be found below, on a wide range of subjects, from lensmasters just starting out and those who've been around for a while.

The Origins of an Idea

Thank you Kim Giancaterino

KimGiancaterinoI first came up with the idea of visiting and rating 100 lenses from fellow Lensmaster, KimGiancaterino.

Kim is a Giant Squid and a member of the Giant 100 club. She has over 300 lenses written, has rated 9,052 lenses, and favourited 4,404!

Everyone has knowledge about some things, and what you know can earn you or charity some money. Do something good for others and for yourself. Squidoo is a flexible platform. If you can imagine it, you can create a lens about it.

There are some amazing Squidoo lenses out there, but it's the people behind the lenses that make Squidoo what it is.

"Squidoo gets me very strange looks when I try and talk about it, it's time consuming, frustrating, and confusing, and I'm not sure what it says about me but I keep trying to force people to sign up."

"Squidoo saved my sanity two years ago when I was diagnosed with a debillitating disease of the middle ear, Otosclerosis, that forced me to give up my job. I was working from home and part time, so I needed something else to stop me climbing the walls with boredom. Squidoo has certainly done all that and more."

"Squidoo is a confidence booster. You get in there, build some lenses, and eventually you see what a great way it is to organize the many thoughts you have. Thoughts that, until then, you didn't think of as worthwhile to present to others. Realizing that you do have something valuable to say can really knock your socks off."

Squidoo has really been the place where I cut my teeth on Internet Marketing. My advice to new lensmasters or those who are struggling is to stick with it. Keep trying, if what you are doing is not working to your expectations, don't be afraid to ask for help.

    I made this one a favorite so I can come back, probably many times. This is such a great idea, I'm thinking about trying it myself (when I get to 10? lenses?)

    Wonderful lens, Nan!

    What a great idea for a lens. I used to play the game of visiting fans of people and seeing where the trail led me. It's a fun game, you never know what you are going to find. It works on Stumbleupon too.

    I had to make this a favorite so I can come back when I have time and browse these lenses. Intriguing selection.

I love Squidoo because the potential of making some money has got my kids writing in their leisure time.
