Where to Promote Squidoo Lenses....
So, you have your masterpiece all done, your lens is ready to be launched. You hit publish, but then what? Well, you need to begin promoting your Squidoo lens to attract more visitors. There are many places to promote your Squidoo lenses and on this lens I will point out the ones that I have come across and use each time I create a new lens.
When I first learned about these sites, I went through all of my lenses and promoted them using these methods. It did take a bit of time granted, but now I am all up-to-date and it's just a question of doing it for each newly created lens. If a job's worth doing it's worth doing well, right?

Not all Trolls are bad....
Article Troll...

Article Troll is a great place to promote your lenses. You actually get to post two lenses in one submission. You just enter in a little summary of the main lens that you want to promote and then a little one liner about the second lens. Then you can go back and put in the second lens as the first and the first lens as the second. Sound confusing?
Don't be! Honest, it's really easy. Give it a try here:
A Couple of These Sites Can Actually Earn you Some Money....
Just for Posting Your Lenses...
Xomba is one of the Sites where you can earn a little cash........
whilst promoting your lenses....

I have not known about Xomba long myself. I actually came accross it by chance in the lensmaster lounge (we will take a rest here a little later). You post your lenses onto Xomba and as mentioned previously if you have a google adsense account be sure to add the details onto your xomba account. Whilst you are promoting your lenses check out some other links on Xomba which will encourage others to return the favour.
That's it, couldn't be easier.
Visit Xomba Here
then come back and let me know when you have added a lens and I will shoot over and check it out.
She Told Me...
is the other place where you can insert your adsense account....
I found out about She Told Me on lensmaster lounge too. This is the other one where you can put in your adsense account and also if you have a chitika account and get a share of the earnings on these that your lenses bring in.
One of the many good points about She Told Me is that they let you put in as many tags as you like to get your lens picked up on Google. Be sure to visit others lenses and give credit where it's due.
then come back here and let me know you have posted a lens on there and I will go and check it out :)
Set up Your Google Adsense Account....
to Maximise Your Earnings Online
We all Start off as Baby Squids....
Chitika is Alternative to Google Adsense...
Get a Lovely Banner from Squidom....
Makes it Easy for Visitors to Vote for your Lens...
I absolutely love Squidom. Why wouldn't I look at the cool banner they provide you with. It takes just a minute or two to promote your lens on Squidom and they give you this cool banner to put on your lens to encourage others to vote for your lens.
Give it try vote for my lens below and check out Squidom at the same time - might as well kill two birds with one stone and make a fellow lensmaster happy' too! :)
Want to Learn More about Squidoo ?
Need images for your lens ?
Drumroll Please......
for Lensroll...

Lensroll is another fab place to promote your lenses. It only takes a minute or two to get one of your lenses up on Lensroll, whilst you are there doing it try to check a couple of other lensmasters lenses there and vote them up if they are deserving.
A lot of the time they will return the favour and check out your masterpieces too.
Check out Lensroll here
The Isle of Squid....

The Isle of Squid is a great place to not only submit your lenses but also to find the 'cream of the crop' so to speak. They screen the lenses submitted and only allow the ones they deem acceptable to stay on their site.
It's a great place to get a link to your lens in, so don't miss out.
Add Your lens to the Isle of Squid here
Squid Up

Squidup is a another place to promote your lenses. It doesn't take long to promote a lens there. You only need to put in a short description and that's it. I often find myself getting side-tracked at Squidup - there are so many great lenses there. The thing about Squidoo is that you never stop learning so be sure to visit other lenses from lensmasters with tips and of course if they deserve it, vote them up.
Promote a Lens on SquidupGather is a new one for me too !

I finally got around to checking out Gather, as recommended by Poutine. It looks good, so far. It's easy to use and put your posts on there. It's yet another backlink for your Squidoo masterpieces.
To join me on Gather just click on the banner on the right. Hope to see you there.
Do You Have any Other Sites to Submit Lenses ?
If so let us know here, thanks :)

Oh dear, sure it would be worth the effort, but there are so many that I get all confused. But I need backlinks for my lenses, so I have to take the jump someday I fear. I'm not at all familiar with these kind of things.

Yes, to be noticed and build trust in your readers, you need some form of promotion with credible reviews.

it is a place to easily put up information and that is why I first joined Squidoo. But I found the lens was making money even without my promoting it ( not a lot but enough to raise an eyebrow). A couple of weeks ago, I decided that this could be a good way of earning a little pocket money and am now becoming addicted. Sp promotion is vital for me now.

- Lots of good stuff here to explore. You say 'article writing isn't difficult', that might be, but it is very difficult when your native language isn't English. I'm often just too scared to sign up for something I can't fully grasp, like for google adsense, just don't know in what pool I'm diving in to.

- One of the things that must change in the world is this colonial thing that everyone has to speak English. I would recommend writing stuff in your native language, unless there are typographical problems (like Mongolian reading UP the page, right to left) or you have symbols you cannot create. My browser offers to translate languages it recognizes "on the fly" - I think that's widely available now. I don't know how it would get lens-ranked. But I don't understand how the in-English lens get lens-ranked either!

- Hi. Thanks you for this - it's very positive and helpful. I'm new and feeling I am hopeless at writing on my lenses. But I love being on squidoo - your lens has re energized me!
I am going to try your suggestions. Just wondering....do you have to sign up for adsense to post your lenses on She Told Me and Zomba? (stupid other question...you don't have to sign up for adsense for squidoo, do you? I thought it was automatic)
Thanks tons - sorry to go on.
Happy Holidays!

- Hi Bryoni, You don't have to sign up for adsense for any of the 3, but I would suggest signing up for it for She Told Me and Xomba and adding your account there because you can earn money this way. Thanks for the visit :)
