Marketing tip – What is Squidoo?

January 1st, 2008 by Ingrid Cliff

One of the most useful sites on the net is Squidoo. It is where you get to showcase your depth of expertise in particular areas. With Squidoo you shine a lens on your niche information in a fun, interactive and informative way.

On the plus it has high rankings when your page is indexed, you can include links to other websites/blogs etc and you can make money linking to products from places like Amazon. Once you get the hang of the design, creating a lens is easy and quite addictive to do (sort of like on-line scrapbooking!)

On the downside it seems to take some time before Google discovers your great new page.

But why would you do it? Because you get to position yourself as an expert in your field, to attract traffic, to promote your business and create additional income streams.

To give you some idea of what a Squidoo lens looks like here are two I have done up so you can get an idea of the sort of thing you can do:

Employee Handbooks that are right, read and understood

Happy Squidooing!

Until next time
