The Purpose Of The Squidoo Charity Boosters
Say, what are we here for?
Obviously, we'd like to create a win-win situation: give some - and get some, right? How are we going to do that?
Here's my SquidU forum post with details on our campaign. I wrote:
"In the spirit of the season, lensmasters submit 2-5 lenses - one from another favorite lensmaster, and up to 4 of their own.
Post the links right here in this thread, please.
Attention! "Seasonal" condition: your own lens(es) must be set to a minimum of 10% towards any one of these 6 charities, currently promoted by our Squidoo Activists Group:
* Action Against Hunger
* Food for Everyone Foundation
* Heifer International
* Oxfam America
* Planet Gumbo
* A Day of Hope
I will make a lens about the "Squidoo Charity Boosters" (you're looking at it, you kind souls!) and feature each participating lensmaster with their 2-5 submissions PLUS a link to their lensmaster page in a specific, individually featured lensmaster module!
But wait - there's more!
After you've submitted your links in this thread, go to Comfortdoc's "Month of Thanks" lens and submit your 10% charity lens(es) to the appropriate plexo for one of the first 5 charities listed above. If you've converted 10% towards "A Day of Hope", go to Christopher's lens "Month of Hope" and submit to one of his plexos for either existing or newly created charity lenses.
How's that for a double-whammy exposure boost?
To sum it all up:
We're creating good karma by recommending another lensmaster's work and giving 10% of one or more of our own. We're getting extra-extra promotion and internal backlinks for our pages. Again, we'll discover great lenses we hadn't seen before. And all this will be on display on one powerful lens that will draw the attention of supportive Giants and HQ. (Right now, you ARE at the lens I'm talking about, you super-kind souls!)
Tip 1:
Submit only great-quality lenses! You just might make a Squid Angel stop in mid-flight for a closer look.
Tip 2:
Go visit your peers' lenses and experience the 'Joy of Squidoo'!"
