I hate stupidity, narrow-mindedness and insensitive people.

Blogs are fun. Blogs are hot. Blogs are easy. But not many know blogs are PROFITABLE. Dr.Mani wrote a book on profiting from blogs - Blog Profit Ideas Exposed: 33 Ways To Make Money Blogging - way back in October 2003, when not many were thinking about blogs in a money-making sense. Today, blogging is a HUGE industry - and while purists may debate the issue, fact is many bloggers are making full time incomes from their blogs. In this lens, we'll look at the various blog profit models, view examples, analyze case studies - and of course, make money blogging!Visit Dr. Mani's lenses at: drmani

Juliet Johnson
Juliet Johnson is a Home Staging and Real Estate Marketing Expert. A former Manhattan realtor, and then event planner, Juliet combines live marketing with real estate IQ to maximize every home's opportunity.It's in her DNA. Her grandmother fixed and flipped houses in London, England and her mother owned rental properties in Greece, France and the UK. Growing up, Juliet learned the traditional elements of regional design, styling properties with a universal, international appeal.
Juliet came to the US for college and has lived in the New York metro area ever since. She has been a professional home stager for the last 6 years. While her niche is suburban homes priced between $1 - 3 million, the principles she deploys are similarly effective in every market. Johnson consults for Toll Brothers, locally, and is a trainer on home staging for the Enlightened Wealth Institute.
If you think her voice is familiar, you may well have heard it on Sirius Satellite Radio, or the Cartoon Network or even ABC Radio. When not staging, Juliet does voice-overs.

Hi, I am Chef Keem, sentenced to Squidoo-for-life. Born and raised in Munich, Germany. First career in pop music as A&R Director, record arranger and producer for CBS and Jupiter Records. Came to the States in 1981 and settled in Austin, Texas. Graduated from chef school, worked as chef and pastry chef in restaurants and hotels. Started my own company, Sweet Venus Delights, in 2001. Developed recipes using agave nectar as sweetener. In 2004, created a line of flavored agave nectars and called it Agasweet. Currently sold at Whole Foods Market in TX, LA, OK, CO; Central Markets, TX, and many other fine stores.I am also the executive chef for the Driftwood Lodge in SE Alaska, operated by the Alaska Expedition Company.
Squidoo has been good to me - and vice versa. Check out what I've done so far, in my lensography.
For "secret recipe" revelations and other food-related bits visit my blog "Chef Keem's Squid Kitchen".
I'm very proud of my 2 Lens-of-the-Day honors, for my "Agasweet" and "Anonymous Alcoholic" Lenses.
I'm equally proud to be a Squidoo Charity Activist. We do a lot of good here on Squidoo and - for some reason - it seems to come back very nicely. I'd like to invite you to join our great efforts. Just ask me how.
Angel I ain't - but a Squid Angel I am. Check out my lens: "Squid Angel Blessing by Chef Keem". If you think you've followed my guidelines, drop me a note in one of my lens guest books and I'll stop by and look at your creations.

- My name is Pat ... sometimes refered to as the Parrot-Lady.
I'm new to squidoo. If it wasn't for Seth's MBA Alternative Internship, I would have postponed looking at lens for a bit of time.
I can see the power of combining lives...business and person. I have a lens for the application and another one just starting to pass the torch of my cookie baking to my nieces. I like the different module options for squidoo for this.
I'm on Triiibes to see how others are using the digital world for good. Their are so many different options that you can get lost (ezines, blogs, lens, websites). Where do the best (Triiibe members) spend their valuable time.
Who is Pat: here is my one lense: http://www.squidoo.com/MBA-Substitute-Application#module12861368 that poiints to everything else.
