The Squidoo homebase for SquidEtsians

SquidEtsians are members of the etsy community who have joined together to promote each other through squidoo. This page is intended to be the homebase for SquidEtsians or those looking to become one.

To ask questions or participate in ongoing team conversation, visit our "official" team thread. We also have a team blog--for more details on that, see the "team projects" section below.

For Etsians New to Squidoo

Getting Started

First, if you haven't signed up and don't have someone you're already planning to sign up through, you're welcome to use my referral so that you can get an extra 5 bucks once you reach your first 15 (in full disclosure I get 5 bucks once you reach 15 too, so if you have another friend you want to sign up under feel free to use them--I'm not trying to snag everyone's referrals ).

Once you've joined, the obvious next question is "ack--what do I do now?" Fortunately some SquidEtsians, like The-Homeopath (cchiovitti on etsy), really know their stuff. She's created a kind of mini-tutorial on how to use the etsy "module" on your squidoo lens that I've copied into the section "How to Use the Etsy Module on Your Lenses" below. Additionally, she's created a bunch of other useful lenses for the team that you can find in the "other useful links" section on this page, plus a group on Squidoo, with lots of tips and tricks, just for us--and there, unlike this page, you can add ANY of your lenses, whether or not they are about other SquidEtsians. So check it out.

What are "SquidEtsians" Anyway?

Evolving Guidelines

I'm all for democracy, so if you have an idea of something that isn't here but you think should be, or is here that you think shouldn't be, by all means let me know.

Purposes of the SquidEtsians team:

1) To help our etsy shops get more visits/sales
2) To help us develop high-quality "lenses" on squidoo (thus helping with goal 1 and maybe making some money off our lenses too)
3) To help each other achieve 1 and 2 by visiting each other's lenses, writing about each other's etsy shops in lenses of our own, and generally creating a supportive and fun community of people.

Requirements to be a member of the SquidEtsians:

1) Niceness. If you aren't interested in being part of a friendly helpful group then this isn't the team for you.
2) Accounts on both squidoo and etsy.
3) A squidoo lens that features your etsy shop (be sure to let us know about it by adding it to the proper links list below and mentioning it on the team thread).

Highly recommended, but not required, activities:

1) Writing lenses that feature other SquidEtsians.
2) Visiting, rating, and commenting upon other SquidEtsians' lenses periodically.
3) Participating in, or at least regularly checking on, the SquidEtsian team thread on etsy.
4) Being supportive in other ways (like making treasuries that include SquidEtsians, helping other SquidEtsians with questions about etsy or squidoo, etc.).
5) Participate in some (or all!) of the other team projects described below.

Have thoughts or questions about any of these? Don't hesitate to leave them on the guestbook or send me a message through etsy.

We're now doing monthly lens challenges--each month you'll have a choice of two topics to create a lens around. It's a fun way to challenge yourself to create new lenses--keep an eye on the team blog each month for details on that month's challenge.

If you would like to help with passing out other SquidEstians business cards, send an email or conversation to group members mentioning this. A postal address would be good too :)
Spread them around your hometown or put them in with orders of yours.

The shops and items of SquidEtsians

Post your general shop link, and/or any specific item links, that you're hoping to find featured by another SquidEtsian.

IMPORTANT: Please use the voting system to show when you've written a lens that links to the shop or item listed, so that we can get an idea of who is getting written about and who could still use some love. In other words, DON'T VOTE ON A LINK UNLESS YOU'VE LENSED ABOUT IT. Conversely, once you have featured a SquidEtsian in a lens, be sure to vote their store up here.

Share your knowledge. Make a difference.
