The Squidoo Greeters are just that... Squidoo Greeters open the doors that will help you find your way around the community. The Squidoo Greeters are your official Welcome Wagon, and are here to help you swim with the Big Squid.
Come, and swim alongside as I introduce you to some of the lenses I have created since I first found my way to the world of squid.
I'm having a great time, and I'm certain that you will too.... not to mention the fact that you will meet new friends, make some money, and build the platform for you to speak your mind about whatever it is that's on your mind.
Shhh, listen; what's that sound? It's the world wide web, and it's listening for the sound of YOUR voice! Follow me, and let's get you familiar with lens building so you can knock on the windows of the world, and let your voice be heard...
Get Acquainted With the "Featured Lens" Module
Remember that "lenses" are simply a Squidoo page that has been "hand built" by someone who knows their topic...
When you click on the link, you will leave this lens and be taken to the lens that is being featured. It's a way for lensmasters to entice you to visit more of their lenses.
Once you learn more about traffic and lens rank, you will understand why it's good thing for you to establish yourself as someone whose writings are well worth reading!
My First "Official" Role At Squidoo Was To Serve As a Squid Angel
I'm proud to be part of the founding class of Squid Angels...

What's a Squid Angel?
Those are terms that don't mean much to you right now, but trust me; you will learn!
Once you receive the first comment in your guest book, you will find yourself compelled to write more lenses.
The camaraderie of fellow lensmasters is a large part of the reason that Squidoo is such a successful community. This is a place where people are treated with courtesy and respect, and good lens building is celebrated!
The goal here is for you to establish yourself as the resident expert at whatever it is that you are the resident expert. The subject you write about is totally your decision, and we're here to help you learn how to use Squidoo so you can focus on your writing.
After all, the world is listening... and we want to hear what you have to say!
Christene Moderates Angel Headquarters
Squid Angels serve in rotation, so Christene keeps us connected to each new round of volunteer Angels.
The Angels role is to help "police" the community, making certain that lenses are built according to standard, as well as searching for and celebrating great lenses. It's a big job to make certain that the lenses being built within the community measure up to the criteria specified by the founders and staff of Squidoo.
Squid Angels are the wind beneath the wings of the community... when you visit their lenses, be sure to shower them with accolades and appreciation!

From Squid Angel to Giant Squid
It takes 50 great lenses to earn the Giant Squid designation... yes, I said 50 lenses, and not just any lens! Lenses are evaluated based on the combination of quality and quantity.
Applications for new Giants are accepted at periodic intervals, so if you are interested in the program, learn what it means to build a great lens; then build 50 of them!

There You Have It
Once your readers discover the wealth of knowledge that is hidden in your lenses, they will be happy to search you out when they need someone who knows what it is you know!
Unlike newspaper or magazine articles, lenses can be continually modified and updated. There's a green star that lights up when you update your lenses, so those who are following you know that you have added some new content to your lens.
That's the signal that tells them they need to drop by and visit you again.. make sure you give them something to read that's worth their trip. They will reward your efforts by becoming a faithful follower; not to mention the fact that they can become some of your best word of mouth advertisers!

What Do You Want Squidoo To Do For You?
Good things happen when you harness the power of the internet...
Squidoo has changed my life.. for the good!I became a member of Squidoo in October, 2006, but I had no idea of the amazing changes that were about to be thrust upon my life!
I have always been an active crafter, and have always dreamed of owning my own crafting business. Squidoo has been the platform I've needed to sift, sort and refine my thinking about who I am, what I do and how I spend my time.
Since I have become a lensmaster, the process of building, managing, and maintaining my lenses and groups has helped me define and refine my life goals and purposes.
I have been able to clearly define my crafting niche, and my crafting plans and ideas are developing into the business I've always dreamed about!
It's an exciting challenge to face each new day... I've got about a gazillion crafty plans and projects in mind, and I'm using Squidoo to bring them into an organized structure that works for me; AND for those in my target audience.
I love it when a plan comes together!

My Bio
Hello World!
Have you ever endured a season in your life when you just couldn't seem to find yourself? I certainly have!
I found the answers I needed in God's Word. It's been an amazing journey....I was a basket case! Certifiable, actually! But by the grace of God, I am alive and well, healed, and mentally restored. Now I'm even writing my own story books...
If you've ever been in a world of turmoil, you know what I'm talking about! God kept telling me that he had a really good plan for my life. It took me a while to figure out what that was...but, He was right and it's a really good plan!
He's got one for you too, so if you haven't found yours yet, don't give up. If you're actively searching, you're on the right track!
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper and not to harm you, plans for hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11 NKJ
I love to use Squidoo for expressing my love for all things spiritual... I created this toolbar to reduce the Squidoo learning curve for newbies. When you use the toolbar, you can spend more time writing about the things that are your passion.
