What Have You Learned?

From the lens Fresh Squid Graduation Class January 2009.

What to do, or maybe - what not to do!

    That there really is a wonderful community full of creative, helpful and friendly people on the Internet...and they all live at Squidoo!

    I have "listened" to people open up their wounds and their hearts. I have seen folks' heads crack wide open and I've gobbled up all their delicious ideas and notions. I've asked myself some challenging questions. I've been blessed, rated, rolled and faved, and offered kudos in kind.

    I've learned a lot about some technical stuff from clever folks with a way of wording that doesn't make me want to bang my head on the desk repeatedly, nor reduce me to a drooling zombie entrenched in code.
    But most of all I've learned that you have to put it out there, to swim with the other squids in the ocean. And with that, I'm off to work on that lens I've been procrastinating!
    Thanks you guys!

    The first thing is that there is a lot more to Squidoo than making money. I thoroughly enjoy the experience.

    On a success level I see that you have to put yourself about a bit: forum, commenting, working at getting links and so on. Effort is needed.

    I've learned to talk about myself! LOL! I have more fun when I give myself permission to do that, and my Kerridwen Henry lens seems to be more popular than any of my other lenses.

    I learned to put one foot in front of another and take baby steps.

    I have learnt that there is so much info out there!
    There is a mass of opportunities to help with getting myself out there and Squidoo really helps to do this.
    Keywords are also very important and I certainly need to work on this .

    I've learned to not be afraid to ask questions--there are so many helpful lensmasters--Squid U is a wonderful place to seek out information! I've also learned that striving for originality, and QUALITY over quantity, and having external links leading people to your lenses, helps with your lensrank! Nobody likes a lens that is just a series of links to other people's websites...

    I have learned some html and css. I have learned more about graphic design, t affiliates, keywords, SEO.... I have learned how to write better. I have learned that no matter what I need to know I can find it on Squidoo or Squidu.

    MAKE SURE THAT YOU GET YOUR INITIAL URL TITLE CORRECT! That's the one thing that can't be 'undone'.
