What Is A Support Site?
Because Squidoo has such an amazing & easy to use format for making web pages, more and more great support sites are popping up every day.
Support sites are non-squidoo sites that are specifically designed to help Squidoo lensmasters succeed.
There are many different types of support sites. Some are tools to help make lens making even easier. There are also lens promotion sites, community blogging sites, lens directories, RSS feed sites & even specialized Squidoo Support Groups.
As Squidoo Support Sites Mentor, I am here to help you find the right support sites for you.
Supporting Each Other
"Working together, ordinary people can perform extraordinary feats. They can push things that come into their hands a little higher up, a little further on towards the heights of excellence."

About Mystic Mama
Your Squidoo Support Sites Mentor
As your support sites mentor, I'm here to help you find the right support sites for you.
Support Sites can be very useful & helpful, but they can also become overwhelming if you join too many of them.
SQUIDOO SUPPORT SITE TIPS
~ Research ~
Take your time, research & learn about the different sites, tools & groups before deciding which to join. As with any tool, support sites require time and energy to work. The more time and energy you put into these sites, the more you will gain. Joining a site, just to forget about it, won't help you lenses.
~ Choose Wisely ~
Some sites like SquidUtilities & SquidU forum are useful to all Squids, and are musts for lensmaster success. Others are more niche specific like some of the Ning groups. Limiting yourself to only joining sites & groups that are relevant to your lens-making & personal brand, will help to keep you from feeling overwhelmed.
~ Participate ~
Once you have found a site that is a good fit for you, participate & become a part of that site's community. Support sites require participation to get all the benefits possible from them. Remember, that the more you put into any project, the more you will get in return.
Support Tools

Squidoo Support Tools are sites and addons that help make lens creation & promotion even easier.
These include wonderful sites like Squid Utilities as well as great addons like the Squiddoo toolbar.
Squidoo support tools sites can enhance your Squidoo experience.

thefluffanutta is the master of creation when it comes to useful tools to help us as lensmasters make even better lenses.
He also has developed lots of really helpful addons & Squidoo support sites like Squid Utilities. You can find him over at SquidU Forum most days in the Please Help section, offerring support & great tips to Squids in need.

Learn The Rules
While most of the Squidoo Support Sites are there to help you, there are also a few bad eggs out there giving bad advice that could result in your lenses being locked or your account being closed.
Be sure to learn the rules first, and remember to always follow Squidoo's Terms Of Service
SquidU Forum

Joining & participating in the SquidU forum is one of the best tools & support sites available to all Squids from newbies to Giants.
The SquidU forum is a great place to learn, network, promote your lenses & just hang out and have a good time.
Be sure to read the forum rules & follow them. Bad behavior in the SquidU forum can result in being banned & having your lenses locked... & nobody wants that.

Group Effort
Squidoo Ning Support Groups

Ning is a site where anyone can create their very own social network.
The Ning platform is the perfect environment for Squidoo Support Groups. Ning groups are a great way for like minded squids to get together and help each other succeed on Squidoo.
The Ning platform creates a social networking site very similar to big sites like Facebook, but on a much smaller and much more personal scale. Many of the Squidoo Ning groups come up with creative projects & challenges to help lensmasters make great lenses.
The Ning Groups also have forums, groups within the group & lots of peer support.

- Wow - another great resource. I need to look into the blogs, support groups and lens directories areas. I'm having a lovely time over in SquidU and learning a lot from fellow lensmasters there, but have yet to learn much about promoting my own lenses outside Squidoo. Good 2010 resolution - learn more and do more to be a good lensmaster. Thanks for all these excellent resources and advice.
