Using Squidoo to Market Your Work at Home Business
Squidoo has become yet a famous phenomenon that enriches the arsenal of internet marketing tools. With the availability of Squidoo it is even easier to start an internet home based business within an hour with a website (=lens) to promote your products.
Seth Godin founded Squidoo and launched the website in October 2005. It is a platform designed to make it easy for anyone, for free, to set up a single page on a topic he or she knows or cares a lot about. It’s a social network of user-generated lenses -single pages that highlights one person’s point of view, recommendations, or expertise.
Users of Squidoo, or lensmasters can use a lens template to create links, feeds, abstracts, and lists for other users. There are different modules that allow you to create Flickr photos, maps, blogs, eBay auctions, YouTube videos, iTunes music, Amazon products, and other links. You can get all these functions on your lens for free within an hour. You can even earn money with Squidoo since there are standard incorporated Adsense ads on the lenses, and you can sell for example (e-)books or other products for Amazon or other shopping chains. Squidoo splits its revenue with its “co-op” of lensmasters. 5% goes straight to charity, first. Then 50% goes to the lensmasters. 45% goes to Squidoo.
