Offers in How-To & Education

Q: Wow, what are SquidOffers?

A: SquidOffers™ is the new user-generated, community-voted, turbocharged, gotta-have-it "advertising" system. It's like Plexo or Reddit or Digg, except every single listing is a cool offer from someone who wants to promote something. So, the best offers rise to the top and get the most traffic.

Q: Why did Squidoo introduce SquidOffers?

A: Squidoo is getting millions and millions of new visitors every month. Traditional advertisers want to sponsor our pages and pay us a lot of money to do so. But we'd rather have you do it. For NOT a lot of money. (Actually, for just $25/week right now).

When people compete to share authentic content with our users and our millions of visitors, everyone wins. Squidoo gets a little more money for operating costs. Lensmasters could get extra royalties from their lenses that carry SquidOffers. Charities get more donations. Real people with remarkable sites and services get the chance to put their work in front of lots of interested folks. That's one better than a trifecta of wins.

Q: Where do SquidOffers run?

A: SquidOffers will run in a clearly marked sidebar on all of the nearly 100,000 lenses on our site, as well as being featured on SquidOffers voting pages.

Offers are categorized by Squidoo topic. For example, Music SquidOffers will show up on Music lenses on Squidoo, while the Sports&Rec offers will be on the Sports&Rec related pages. Single offers are allowed to buy slots in multiple relevant categories. If you're trying to sell an ebook about blogging, let's say, it's possible that SquidOffer could go in Computers&Tech and in How-to & Education and in SEO & Internet Marketing.

Here's the big win: The top 5 most user-voted and endorsed and awesomest SquidOffers per category will show up on every lens in that category. If you're not in the top 5, your offer will show up on a voting page full of every offer in that category. So it's up to you to compete for the top slots, by creating really great offers that people like, and inviting your clients and readers and friends to vote your offer up.
