New Online PR Lens at Squidoo
I’d heard about Squidoo months ago, but only started playing with the “lenses” three or four days ago. So far I’ve set up six lenses, and a small business success group. Be sure to stop by, rate them, and leave some feedback! So, what is this Squidoo thing?
Squidoo is yet another social media site. What’s interesting (and why this site has the potential, at least in my humble opinion, to be the “next big thing”) is in how it works:
1. “Lensmasters” (aka YOU), set up lenses (basically mini-sites) on any topic that interests you.
2. You can set up as many lenses as you’d like to for free (they’re easy, and don’t take long at all).
3. You can use your lens to promote your own company, websites, etc. (ahhh… here’s where the benefits start coming in).
4. You can earn money through your lenses with a variety of affiliate programs (such as an Adsense cut, Amazon.com, etc.).
5. If you’re not in it for the money, you have the option of donating all or a portion of your earnings to a variety of charities.
It’s a lot of fun, at least mildly addictive, and looks as though it might have some significant promotional potential (my primary reason for giving it a go). Be sure to check out the Online PR lens, and let me know what I can do to make it more useful for you.
