I have started to send out information on my Squidoo lenses (web pages).  Some might be asking what is Squidoo? 

Basically its a one page website.  You post something that you feel your an expert in.  Your page gets a ranking and as that goes up it gets you more exposure on different search engines. 
 
I am looking to develop a few pages for marketing purposes.  My thought is that over time I can get my ranking up which will help drive traffic to my other websites...it is easy to use and FREE so I like it.
 
Some people strictly use it for fun.  There are lenses (web pages) on a variety of topics such as business, entertainment, music, education, marketing, people, places, movies, games, etc...

You can actually use it to sell things.  Perhaps you have a product you want to sell, you simply create a lens (web page) to help you with that.  You can post links to books on Amazon for example and if someone uses your link to buy a book you can get a referral fee.  There are many other companies you can refer to like EBAY, CafePress and so on.
 
If you don't have a Squidoo page I suggest you get one if you have a business or product that you want to market.  Also if you are someone that spends time on MySpace or FaceBook you will likely enjoy Squidoo.  Perhaps you feel you are a expert in some random topic of interest that does not relate to either of the above...again I suggest you get a lens on Squidoo.

Go top this link to get started: Squidoo - It takes about 5 minutes to get set up.  To get the content you want it will take one hour or more.

If you just want to check out my lenses for now go to: 1% BETTER EACH DAY   and  FIRST-TIME BUYERS 101 ... I will add a few more over time.  I will be updated these two over time to get the content where I want it to be! 

If you do get a page started on Squidoo and have questions let me know.  Also if you already have a page send it to me.  I will check it out and rank it.  For those who don't have a page, send me a link when you get one!

Have Fun!

I have a couple of lenses as well. It is a good way to get a few back-links to your website, and to meet like minded people.
