What Qualities does it take to be Successful on Squidoo

To be Successful on Squidoo, one needs to have certain qualities. One fine day when I was day dreaming as usual about Squidoo, my mind wandered off to thinking about the basic qualities required to be successful on Squidoo. I went and did a blog post on that on my blog - Do you Squidoo? (shameless self promotion). Once I had finished that post, I thought that this could be a great idea for a lens. So here I am. But these are my thoughts. You may differ! So I would also like to hear from all you squids on your take on what it takes to be Successful on Squidoo

Social Skills

#4 Quality to be Successful on Squidoo


It's hard to imagine that in this world where people spend most of their waking hours in front of their computer screen, people are being more social today than ever before. Squidoo is just the same. It's not just a site but it's a community and the more social you are, you will meet many a helpful lensmaster, who would be more than willing to assist you or answer your query. Become a part of the Squidoo community. Be Social. Be Nice and the world will be nicer to you.

I have saved the best for last. If you really want to be successful on Squidoo, you will need to be really patient. Squidoo is not a get rich quick scheme. In fact there are really no get rich quick schemes in the world. You will have to put in hours of effort and wait for the seeds that you have planted to grow into a full-grown tree. It takes time, but it is worth the effort. That lens which started out with a lensrank of 800,000 , if nurtured well, will soon grow into a Tier 3, Tier 2 and eventually a Tier 1 lens. But this may take a couple of months at least. Heck it may even make it to the top 100. You will have to let Squidoo take its own course. Of course, by all means, do your bit to promote your lens and take it to the top as fast as you can. However, at the same time, be cool, don't lose your patience. The seeds that you have sown will eventually bear fruit.
