What to do on Squidoo ...

 

Learn the do's and don'ts of Squidoo. Find out what every lensmaster should do and what to avoid.

Squido: Promote your Lens 

Got a new lens? Squidoo recommends telling your friends, adding it to social bookmarking sites, blogging it, adding it to Stumbleupon, and tagging your lens.

Squidon't: Spam Guestbooks 

Yeah, it might seem like a good way to promote yourself, your lens or whatever - but you risk losing your Guestbook privileges.

Squido: Give to Charity 

I am a fan of Kiva. Kiva is just one of a number of charities to which you can donate your earnings. Face it - you are probably not going to earn much from the ads run on your lens. People tend to make more money with specific sites or products they are creating. Be generous and donate at least some of your earnings.

Squidon't: Obsess 

Lensrank isn't everything. Traffic isn't everything. Even Google rankings don't necessarily mean much. Remember why you built your lens. That should be the goal.

Squido: Learn from the best Lenses 

There are reasons why some lenses rise to the top. To learn by example check out the top 100 lenses. You will often see the same lensmasters topping the top 100 lists. Look at what they are doing right!

Squidon't: Create Spammy Lenses 

This is the definitive lens on what is considered spam on Squidoo. Make sure you stay in the rules ...

Squido: Learn tips at SquidU 

SquidU is a training center for Squidoo users. Learn how to create and promote a quality lens.

Squidon't: Let your lens grow stale 

You put lots of time into building your lens right? Make sure you come back and update it now and again. Make sure the information is current. Make sure your guestbook comments are all good. Add a new module even!

Squido: Make another lens 

Whatever you are trying to promote or tell the world about. If you want to be seen and heard pick another angle and create a new lens. There is nothing wrong with being specific!
