Marketing is essential to any business. Squidoo lens flipping is no different, but as the popularity of buying and selling Squidoo lenses grows, so do the options for advertising your lenses for sale. Consider the following marketplace opportunities for your squidoo lens flipping business:

Squidoo
Squidoo is the obvious place to market your lenses for sale. Buyers will already be familiar with Squidoo and what a lens looks like. Set up a Squidoo lens specifically for your lens flipping business. Remember to not only list your lenses for sale, but offer information and education for your readers to keep them coming back.

Your Own Domain
As your Squidoo business increases, you might consider setting up your own website to promote your available lenses. Remember to use an email list opt-in and/or an RSS feed so potential buyers will know right away when you have added a new lens for sale.

Sell My Lens
Captain Squid designed Sell My Lens as an auction system for lensmasters to sell their lenses without the high prices associated with other website auction sites. Right now he is offering $5 in free listing credit to those who subscribe to his newsletter. Visit Sell My Lens for more details.

Warrior Forum
Become an active member of the Warrior Forum and list your lens for sale as a WSO (Warrior Special Offer). Make sure you read the terms of listing a WSO carefully. There is a $20 fee per WSO listing. So you may want to list several lenses for sale at once.

Flip That Lens
Tiffany Dow of Flip That Lens also is working on an auction site. Check back for more information on that marketplace.

Do you wonder who would want to buy a Squidoo lens? It's true that building a lens is so easy that anyone can do it. So who would your customers be if you started flipping Squidoo lenses?

Anyone who appreciates outsourcing. Many niche marketers don't have the time to learn the details of succeeding at a site like Squidoo. Buying a lens with their targeted keywords is an efficient option for them.

Nonwriters. So many people think they can't write or are intimidated by the process of writing. Buying a lens with quality text modules centered around a specific topic will get them started with Squidoo.

Website owners who want to drive traffic to their sites. Again, keywords play a big part in this. These buyers may be looking for lenses that already have proven they can draw traffic for specific keywords. They don't want to start a new lens and wait for it to develop.

Business owners who want a presence on the web. If your lens is specific to an industry, a business owner may want to buy your lens to highlight their services.

Other Squidoo Lens Owners. Other Squidoo members may want to buy your lens, because they see the potential in it. They may add it to their portfolio of lenses, or promote it for a while and later sell it themselves for a profit.
