Squidoo Marketing is reaching new heights, now that Internet marketers around the world are realizing how easy it is to promote things on the site while building strong brands and reputations.
Getting active on Squidoo involves more than creating a web page by dragging widgets onto a page and personalizing them. In fact, you need to spend some time to hook your lens up to other pages and groups, and then build a few links from external websites.
To get you started, here are 3 quick ways to use Squidoo to increase your traffic and website income:
1. Use the forums at Squidoo. Squidoo calls the forums SquidU, but they still let you connect with other community members and create friendships. By becoming friendly with other lensmasters, you can get others to link to your lenses and bookmark them on their web 2.0 accounts. You can even get senior forum members called SquidAngels to come and bless your lenses, which always leads to good things, like higher rankings.
2. Discover the groups - join some and create some, and then work to build the credibility of the group page. This can cause the group page to get listed in the search engines, and since your lenses is linked from that page, you can get more priority and traffic.
3. Find related Squidoo lenses, and read their content and post valuable comments along with your lens link. Just be sure to add a valuable comment and not just a spammy “visit my lens” request. Never leave negative comments, or “constructive criticism”…this is better communicated in private.
Another cool built-in feature at Squidoo is the ability to bookmark your lens on the most popular web 2.0 sites, like Digg, Stumbleupon, Myspace and Twitter. If you want to become fast friends with someone, bookmark their lens with a nice comment, and then leave a comment about what you did on their lens. They will want to return the favor.
Learning the need to work with others on Squidoo is a good lesson in life, since it is the exact way things work in the offline world. If you do something kind for someone, they will almost always do something kind for you, so don’t be afraid to start the ball rolling, and see how far you can take your Squidoo lenses and the income they produce for you.
