Need a little one-on-one help?

Here's your chance to match up with a Squidoo veteran who wants to help you do you best!

Signing up is simple. Below is a module where interested mentors can sign up. If you're looking for a little help, just contact one of the mentors based on their directions. You get to choose who you work with. How simple is that?

How does this work?

Mentors, sign up using the guestbook below. If you need help, contact someone you think you could work well with.

Want to volunteer as a mentor?

If you think you have what it takes, including the time, know-how, and customer service voice, to help someone new to Squidoo, leave a note here. Be sure to include details on what specific types of help you're willing to provide, and how you can be contacted.

(So if you say you can be contacted using the "contact me" button, make sure you have it turned on!)

    I remember what it was like, starting off as a Fresh Squid, feeling overwhelmed by the immensity of Squidoo ... so if you're a Baby Squid, and want to learn how to swim, just drop me a line!

    I am happy to help anyone. If I don't know the answer, perhaps I can steer that person to the right person or place for help.

    Hi. I'd like to know if perhaps I should split one of my lenses into two halves. It is one of my first lenses and one of the most popular thus far, but it is long. Would appreciate some advice from a pro on this:

    I can help people edit their lenses for spelling, punctuation and grammar. Anyone who'd like to borrow my extra pair of eyes, use the "Contact Me" button located on my lensmaster page. My service is free and I'll be happy to help!

    Hi! I've just joined and watched the video on creating my first lens. So far I've found this system very frustrating. I started a lens(which really is an article) and saved it. Now it's under construction waiting for me to come and finish it. I go to dashboard, find a headline, hover the pointer over edit and....I don't find my unfinished article. I did find where it said the only way to get it out of it's jail cell was to publish it..hardly a common sense solution....so obviously I don't think like a Squidooer and need help. Thanks for offering! GB

    G'day mate! I am Glen O. Hartman. I have a site that is not working well for two reasons. One, how do I get rid of competing advertising that Google puts on my page?
    And, two I can't get the image removal button to work? I put an image in a text module that I now want to remove, I press the lense edit button, but that doesn't seem to work. Any advice? site is: squidoo.com/ebooks-for-sale. Thx in advance. gohartman

    Hello everyone. I have a fabulous Self-Guided Squidoo Mentoring Program for you to use. It takes you through the basics of how to build niche lenses, get traffic, monetize and more! And if you get hung up somewhere you can ask a question and I'll help you out (or find the someone who can).

    Ener-G: I am Glen O. Hartman. I was wondering whether you could help me with my squidoo site. How do I get rid of all the competing Google ads? It is an ebook sales site and Google piles on the ebook sales ads. It is confusing my visitors. Second, I want to change an image in a text module, but I can't get the remove button to work. I am in the edit mode but image doesn't respond to remove button. Mysite is squidoo.com/ebooks-for-sale and email is luengen2@msn.com I will be glad to pay you for your help. Thx. Glen

    I would like to help a new lensmaster if they are stuck on a new lens and not really sure what to do with it next. I am not sure how much I can help, but I am willing to help anyway I can. I always have my contact me button turned on, so they can reach me like that or email me.

    I always like to help anybody new to lens building on Squidoo. When I started here, people helped me and I like to pass that on. Don't struggle on your own and get frustrated because your lens doesn't look as good as you want, you don't understand which modules to use, you've worked hard on a lens and it gets no traffic or you have other problems. Contact me or one of the other mentors here. The warm and helpful Squidoo community is one of the best things on the web.

    If anyone is interested in setting up a Charity Partnership with Squidoo, I would love to walk through everything that's needed. Also, I have a soft spot for newer squids from the Southern Hemisphere, from places like Calafate, Capetown, Canberra, Christchurch and the rest, anyone who is struggling to get started and would appreciate a one-on-one helping hand

    This is a great idea! I can help with newer lensmasters that need their lenses tweaked. I also know the basic html for lenses (adding links, centering images, that kind of stuff). I love giving critique and helping point people toward helpful lenses. I can also help anyone wanting to sign up for a chaity partnership. Feel free to contact me through my bio page.

    This lens/service is a great idea. Thanks for offering! One general question I have (I will contact individual "helpers" for specifics - I need real help ;->) is this: why has the "books" category on Squidoos main home page not had any new lenses/books featured there in weeks and weeks?

    Hi there. I just started creating lenses today and I find Squidoo to be such a cool resource. I'm a Passion Parties consultant and I'm trying to figure out the best way to make use of Squidoo to promote what I do. I know that my lenses are pretty amateurish and I have been using the same content (which I wrote of course) on multiple lenses, but the ones I've created should give you an idea of the direction in which I'm going. Any specific advice would be really helpful. Right now my site is getting minimal traffic and I don't have the means to pay for links or SEO. I really appreciate your help! Thank you.

    I find that most lensmasters are willing to help. When I see a fantastic lens I often send a note to the lensmaster through their Contact Me button to ask them about their Squidooing techniques.

    I am a Giant Squid and have been Squidooing since Sept. 2007 with over 120 lenses I would love to help you on you with your lensbuilding.bug

    I would love to see this lens expand with the names of people willing to help out. I see lenses by lensmasters who would obviously benefit from one to one support and it would be great to be able to direct them to this lens so they could find someone to help them.

    I don't mind helping out. I'm a ghostwriter, which makes me capable in the English department. If English isn't your native language, I can help out with that. I also know the basics when it comes to making lenses. My weak point is HTML code, but I'm learning a bit at a time.

    If you need a hand, and you think I can help, just email me through my bio link.

Remember...

This is totally volunteer-based. Only commit to what you feel comfortable with.

Has another lensmaster helped you?

Our users are what make Squidoo so special, and we have one of the most generous bunches around. Give a shout out to another lensmaster who has helped you succeed on Squidoo!
