How On Earth Do You Squidoo!?

So there I have it, ive created my profile, and I am trying to get this site down. It doesn't like any of the links I apply, and all of my photos appear to be to large. But I am determined.

Since ActiveRain is most every ones go to page for information, what is your take on Squidoo? I am excited to get familiar with it. It seems to be a very resourceful site that you could publish a lot of information for the public eye. Is this site an asset to your on line business?

1. How on earth do you use it.

2. Is it worth you taking the time to explain it?

3. Have You had positive results from the site or am I wasting my time?

Thank You!

Josh Murphy

Josh, I'd be interested to see what others have to say. I stumbled upon it a couple of months ago, but it seemed so complicated. I hear you can get a ton of traffic if you set your lenses (I think that's what they were called) up properly, but it just seemed to complicated for me. Maybe I was just tired that day... :)

I set up a squidoo account. Then I made my first 'lens' and then I gave up. I couldn't figure it out or understand what the heck to do with that site.

Would love to hear from anyone who has found out how to use it.

I squidoo'ed off and on with very little fanfare. I did receive one call from a buyer about a loan program that was obsolete (doop!, I was away for so long that I forgot to delete it). Anyway, that was it. Seth Godin designed it and for a guy that likes clean sites, he's riddled his site with every click on ad campaign that exists. I don't think that it's a good avenue for business.

I'm a big Slide Share Guy instead. It basically a power point presentation that you can facebook, twitter, linkedin, etc.... One of my presenations gets 20 views per day....

Here's one that a Realtor used that can be downloaded and changed to add your information. I hope you use it, face book it, link it into your e-mail and get great results.... it's about the $8,000 Tax Credit for 1st Time Homebuyers if you decide that you like to join slide share(it's free), please let me know so that I can follow you. Cheers! Mario

I've had a lens too. Only one post to it and I gave up. I just don't understand what I am supposed to do.

And Mario thanks for reminding me about slide share. I have an account that I have not used there either. I downloaded the tax credit slide. Thanks again.

I have set up a lense. I was very excited about it and then I completely forgot about it until your post. I think I will head back to night and check it out-Dinah Lee

Josh,

About a year ago I was going to try that too. I finally decided it was not for me.

Chanda- Me too! thanks for stoppin by.

Robert- Hopefully some one knows...

Mario- Sounds like if you figure it out it can be worth it.

Dinah- Let me know if you figure this thing out.

Steven- Thats funny, it sounds like something that takes a little time.

Hi Josh ~ I know some people have good luck with it - I took Katerina Gasset's SEO class and she recommended it. I got a couple of page names I wanted but haven't even started doing anything with it yet. Aren't the links Follow links? I thought so -and that could make it valuable.

Funny - all the comments remind me of how I feel about Facebook - I try to find my way around - especially with Fan pages - and just give up in frustration.

I tried it out, found it nearly impossible to understand, fumbled through a lens that's published....or not, I have no idea. Lost interest and moved on.

Isn't it a requirement for any social tool to be easy to use these days?
