Squidoo Giant Squid 100 Club : Charter Member 2007

Ranked #4,117 in Business & Work, #135,243 overall

Achieving the ranks of Giant Squid: What you can do to join me -- JaguarJulie Giant-US(A) Squid!

Yes, you too can be a Giant Squid on Squidoo. When the call went out to us lensmasters here on Squidoo, the challenge was to create 100 interesting and topical lenses in order to earn the honor of being a Giant Squid. I do believe a few lensmasters, if not a lot, offered a bit of mild protest as "thee asketh too mucheth! 100 lenses, how can I accomplish that?" I do want to be a Giant Squid you know!

Well, the mighty powers that be decided to scale back the challenge to a mere 50 lenses for becoming a Giant Squid. However, for me sitting at some 3 dozen, that number was still a wee challenge what with a normal 8-5 job. I honkered down and in no time was past the 50, and then 75 was in sight! August 31, 2007 was quickly approaching and I was ALMOST at 100. Then, the unthinkable happened ... a hard drive crash!

However, I did what I had to do to accomplish my goal and surpassed the 100 quality lenses to be awarded the ranks of Giant Squid 100 Club. And, I was among a few very worthy lensmasters aka Giant Squids who qualified to be inducted into the noteworthy and illustrious Giant Squid 100 Club -- Charter Member 2007!!! Today, I have been an active Squidoo lensmaster for way OVER 5.5 years and have authored well over 810 lenses!

Yowzers!!! Oh, can't wait for induction into the Giant Squid 200 Club AND the Giant Squid 300 Club. A little birdie told me we are in for some surprises folks!

2008 Giant Squid of the Year

Giant Squid then Giant Squid 100 and then!

I am humbled and honored to be the Giant Squid of the Year as voted in the 2008 Giant Squid Awards Competition, sponsored by the Giant Squid Organizers.

Special thanks to all of my supporters who actually voted for me -- I sure do appreciate it! I couldn't have done it without your support! ;)

P.S. May I say, it has indeed been an honor to get to know so many wonderful lensmasters over the four years. I have met SOME lensmasters that I will remember until the day I die ... and then become a real angel. Thank you people for your kind courtesies and FRIENDSHIP. You are a treasure.

Are you or aren't you? Hello Giant Squids!

Pass the baton please!!!

Well it is probably that time of year again -- time for the induction of the Giant Squids and Giant Squid 100 Club members! Have you made it this time? When I became a member of the Giant Squid 100 Club in September 2007, there weren't that many of us with over 100 lenses. Today, there are quite a few other prolific lensmasters who have authored well over 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700 and even 800 and MORE lenses! Wow! Way to go Squidooers.

HARD DRIVE CRASH!

What does a Giant Squid do?
Create another lens!

I'm talking about the Squidoo Giant Squids

How you can get started ... towards your goal of 50 lenses

Yes, get started on your own personal path to becoming a Squidoo Giant Squid. At the very minimum, you can and should be able to create ONE lens per week! IMHO, that is the minimum if you seriously want to be a Giant Squid.

It's just one lens at a time ... writing about:
* what you know the most about,
* that which you feel passionate,
* yourself, your causes, your family
* your hobbies, vacations

It's easy by using the Squidoo templates:
* Hey Monkebrain--pick a fight!
* SquidBids--eBay Sellers!
* SquidFlix
* SquidLit
* SquidVids--Video Showcase!
* SquidWho--Who's Who!
* The Ever Project

Giant Squid = 50+ quality lenses

The Giant Squids 100 Club = 100+ quality lenses

Some How-to lenses to help you get there!

Some EARLY lenses ...

I took the first step!

Ya gotta start someplace right? Well, I joined because of BzzAgent--naturally that's what my first lens discussed!

What I learned from the EARLY lenses

At one time, that's 2 years ago, there were not many lenses--hark! that meant these early lenses ranked high without a lot of updating.

Some lenses that got me to Giant Squid

These were created in the Summer of 2007

Naturally, since I suffered a hard drive crash, I wrote about it! But, I recovered and hit 100 lenses!

What I learned from the SUMMER of 2007 lenses

Those are some of lenses that got me to Giant Squidom. Well, now there are lots more lenses competing for top spots--these included!

Some of my PRIDE & JOY lenses ...

You can have fun with your lenses too!

Oh, please don't ding me just 'cause I'm blonde!!!

What I learned from my PRIDE & JOY lenses

As you can see, there's a lensography + some food + a 'medical' lens. Write about what YOU KNOW! I love all kinds of food, but have been picky about which I write about!
