Squidoo Champions for Charity

 

Squidoo Activists are a new group on Squidoo. The purpose of the Activists is a group that focuses on charity. We are Champions for Charity.

The Squidoo Activists grew out of the Squidoo SuperHero Challenge brainstorm of Squidoo's Non-profit Organizer Extraordinarie, Anne Reidy.

Many of the original members were invited to participate as Squidoo Activists because of our participation in the SuperHero Challenge.

The primary goal of the Squidoo Activists is to do even more for charities using Squidoo.

Roles of the Squidoo Activist 

As an Activist you are to be the team leader for the weekly contests as well as mentors for those up-and-coming activists. As an activist your most important roles are to reach:
    Go in. Encourage members of the Squidoo community to participate in the weekly contests.

    Find the next set of activists to who are as creative and caring as you who can get even more people involved.

    Go out. Engage your own community. Think your friend, sister, colleague or cousin ought to get involved to help favorite charity you share?

    Go up. Educate. Squidoo is free. Hard to believe that sometimes. Share the information with your favorite nonprofit. Write them a personal email telling them all the great (and free!) ways they can use Squidoo!

Encourage. Engage. Educate.

Unleashing the Idea Virus in the Amazon Spotlight 

Unleashing the Ideavirus

Amazon Price: $11.20 (as of 08/30/2008)

Squidoo is an example of an Idea Virus, a viable commercial concept set loose among those who are most likely to catch it, become infected and pass it on to others who might do the same.

According to Seth, "The future belongs to marketers who establish a foundation and process where interested people can market to each other. Ignite consumer networks and then get out of the way and let them talk."
