Do you want to brag about your blog? Do you want an opportunity to make more money from your blog? Would you like to let the world know what an expert you are in your chosen topic?
Navigate over to Squidoo.
Squidoo's goal as a platform is to bring the power of recommendation to search. Squidoo's goal as a co-op is to pay as much money as we can to our lensmasters and to charity. And Squidoo's goal as a community is to have fun along the way, and meet new ideas and the people behind them.
The site was started by Seth Godin. Seth is a yahoo and a well known marketing guru. Squidoo is his online marketing plan for everyone.
If you browse around some on the site, you can see that people pick a fairly narrow topic and then put everything they know about that topic on the page. This is a very simple site to operate so you don't need any special skills. If you can create a blogger blog, you can do well at Squidoo.
A Squidoo blog or page is called a lens. As the lensmaster, you select modules like an RSS module, a text module, an amazon module, etc. There are several stores with modules and something called a plexo (that lets your readers vote on items in the store or even on links).
I primarily write database blogs, but I have several other interests, so I have several lenses:
You can also create groups that other lensmasters can join. I have two groups: Oracle and PostgreSQL.
In addition to getting your subject and name out there, it can be a good way to connect to a larger community.
Check it out. If you decide to start a lens, send me a note and let me know.
