Great idea! I wish you the best of luck with your Squid School for small business owners! I'm planning to open a store on eBay so when everything is set and ready, maybe I'll enroll in your school so I can have a great lens about my eBay business. If you have the time, kindly drop by this site about small business software that I also find quite helpful. It has some tips on where to get inventory software for your small business. Cheers!

The Fine Print

You must live in the USA or Canada... or have Skype. If you're not satisfied with the lens, you can return it and I will refund your money. (You won't have to return the telephone tutoring!)

The Squid School is not for you... 

If you don't have a business (or a clear plan) or if you already have a strong online presence. I probably won't be able to help you.

I want to make it clear that I am not offering any get rich quick plan. They don't exist. Nor am I trying to sell you any eBooks. I haven't written any... yet. (Although I do have affiliate links to some resources. If I think they can help you I will let you know.)

To find out more please contact me. Please include details about your business.

Custom Made Lenses 

I won't be able to help everyone. If you need a lens made you can consult any of these lenses.

Their prices range from $25 to $250 per lens.

Last Year's Offer 

Last spring I made a similar offer and was somewhat overwhelmed by the response. If I didn't get back to you I apologize. Please give me another chance!

I also learned a lot. One thing I learned is that the first 30 minutes of the call is the most productive. So think about what you want to ask before you sign up for updates.

I also got a lot of ideas for The Squid-School. I can't do them all!

So please vote for your favorite ideas in the Plexo module below. You can also add your own.

I like the idea of a webinar or squidinar: Where squidlets could ask major squidsters questions and receive online tips. Somewhat like a squid-blog or group.

What a generous offer! I hope everyone sees this lens. You probably have enough advertising (LOL) but I'm going to let people know about it too.

How about a webinar?

How about the Knute "Gentlemen, this is a football" Rockne approach, as in "Boys and girls, this is a squidoo lens." In other words, a segment for the bare-bone basics.
