10 Real Estate Topics for a Squidoo Lens - Part 1

This blog series was originally titled, 10 Ways to Use Squidoo as a Real Estate Professional.  After writing Part 2 of the series, I decided 10 Real Estate Topics for a Squidoo Lens is a more fitting title!

In February 2010, I posted Is Squidoo Part of Your Real Estate Marketing Strategy? and Using Squidoo as a Real Estate Marketing Tool to introduce Squidoo as a helpful tool for real estate professionals.  The Squidoo social media platform is not a real estate marketing tool per se, but it can be used in a manner to help develop your real estate business.

Essentially, Squidoo is a publishing platform that offers you the opportunity to create and publish individual webpages (referred to as "lenses" at Squidoo) about virtually any subject.  If you enjoy blogging, you will probably love Squidoo!  Squidoo is about being creative and sharing your knowledge.  As mentioned earlier, Squidoo is not designed specifically for real estate.  Squidoo members create lenses on a great wealth of subject matter.  Real estate is a broad topic that can be presented through a number of outlets such as YouTube, a personal website, a blog, or even Squidoo!  This post is Part 1 of a 10-Part series on 10 Real Estate Topics for a Squidoo Lens.

One topic for a Squidoo lens is Your Local Community.  Some of the hyperlocal blog posts at ActiveRain are about the things to do in your city.  Some places have no shortage of things to do...as illustrated by the numerous "365 Things to do..." blogs at ActiveRain!  You can also find information at ActiveRain about moving to specific cities as well as accessing local resources in your town.  If you enjoy highlighting the best features of your local area through your ActiveRain blogs, you would probably find Squidoo a great place to do that as well!  To give you an idea of what you can do to promote your city/town/community through Squidoo, vist the Squidoo lens for Junction City, Kansas.  I bet you can come up with some great ideas for Squidoo lenses to promote your community as well!  If you Join Squidoo and develop your own hyperlocal Squidoo lenses, I would like to hear about it!

Paul, I signed up for Squidoo a long time ago, but have never used it.

I heard of Squidoo but had no idea what is was.  I'll look into it, thanks.
