You should give Squidoo a try, or you might never know what you are missing by not trying to grow your business this way. Squidoo.com is a next generation social networking site, much like Myspace or Facebook, but adds an element that allows the marketing of products and services you may offer. This is a place that actually wants you to advertise your website.
Squidoo is a treasure trove of articles, covering every single subject that you can think of. Squidoo users can easily look for whatever they want because all the information is classified according to their categories. The categories range from books, shopping, travel, music, tv and movies, to business, health and medicine, amongst others. If you were trying to design a road trip vacation this is one consideration.You can find articles on destination planning, visiting attractions, and where to stay. Take a look and you will see that getting possible leads for your business is not as difficult as you might think.
The idea behind Squidoo is that you can set up a lens for others on Sqidoo to find your product or service. The first step is to sign up for a free account. To check out some of the others on Squidoo is a good idea before setting up your lens. When you are ready to set up your own lens, click on the Make A Lens box and begin. First, you will be asked what you want to do with your lens. Then you pick a category that you would like your lens to fall under and will fill in the URL for your website next. Add some key search words for your lens and fill out your profile.
The reason why Squidoo calls their pages ‘lenses’ is to point out that this is what the user fucusses on. It is believed that about 500 thousand people go to the site every day. All these people could become buyers of your service or product. Once you start your lens, you are asked to fill out the first module which is an introduction to you and your subject. You can then open a guestbook or set up a section for links on other sites on the subject. You can make easy money on Squidoo by linking different products to yours, and you will get rewarded for every product that is sold. The final step to creating your Squidoo lens is to click on the publish button and get started letting the website go to work for you.
