Do you Squidoo?

Do you know what Squidoo is? Maybe you have already made a couple of lenses and are already into it, but for those who doesn't have a clue - here it comes.

Squidoo is the world's most popular site for building free, single pages about your passions. Highlight books, blogs, vids, online shops, or just spread the word about stuff you love. Bonus: you raise money (for you or charity) at the same time. It's fast, free, and supereasy. Watch out, it's addicting. :)

Wait, so what's a lens? A lens is...

• An insanely easy-to-build, single page online.
• Your signpost about something that matters to you.
• A place to recommend your favorite stuff.
• A popular way to get found more on the web.
• A free (yes, free) way to earn a royalty. For you or for charity.
• Word of mouth at your fingertips.
• Squiddylicious.
• Something you should have if you care about getting the word out,
  about selling something, about changing minds, about sharing info,
  or if you just love to create, express yourself, and play.

I say that Squidoo is like a blog, but cooler. With free blogging hosting providers you can't do all the things Squidoo modules allow you to do - you can't constantly interact with your readers on blog (besides guestbook).

At least you can create lenses about AIESEC and all the @ars who use Squidoo can be informed about all the cool events taking place. Using cool modules of Squidoo you can also gather constructive feedback and suggestions for the next time. Sure, there are so many other topics to write about.

Here I gathered some tutorials for beginners:
An introduction to Squidoo - Name says it all
How to make your first (or second) lens - Basic how-to tutorial
Common newbie Squidoo mistakes - This is the lens I based when creating my first lens

In addition:
Commonly misused words in the English language - May be useful

You can search Squidoo for deeper topics if you like. Like what-what did you say about earning money? Here is the lens which can give you brief overview.

As I like my stuff organized correctly, here is how I do it. Create separate folder for Squidoo and in there main file for your ideas - just so you can easily have an overview of what you would like to write. Easiest way is .txt file, not to mess with .doc types. In Squidoo folder you can create folders for topics you are handling and in there also a file for your ideas on this topic and a folder for images as you will probably need lots of images to create a good lens. And that's it. Everything is organized and well-structured :)

Well, see you there :)
