Why You Need To Take A Part In The Squidoo Challenge

Squidoo Logo

I have been on Squidoo for several years and have been able to make several thousand dollars on the platform. Squidoo is a great way to meet new people, build strong connections with potential customers, and learn a lot about writing quality content. Many of the lessons I have learned about writing quality content for this blog and my eBooks came from Squidoo’s writers.

Squidoo encountered an unexpected decline in traffic and went from 1 million daily visitors to 250,000 daily visitors. A contributing factor towards Squidoo’s decline were new changes, some writers leaving Squidoo, and the 1% who used Squidoo to promote spam. However, Squidoo is on the rise. The revenue per page on Squidoo is going to grow dramatically in the next year, and taking advantage of Squidoo’s future revival and further success is not time-consuming.

In my Squidoo Challenge, I mention how easy it is for Squidoo to rebound from its current 250,000 daily visitors to 1 million daily visitors. In fact, Squidoo could even go back to 2 million users and some pages on Squidoo would end up making a guaranteed $100 every month. The people who help bring Squidoo back to where it was are going to benefit the most when Squidoo gets back to where it was.

Squidoo has a great community of writers who enjoy sharing each other’s content and advising new writers as well. By becoming a part of that community, you will be able to learn more about writing quality content and build more connections while making money at the same time!

How To Successfully Respond To Change Just Like Squidoo Did

January 24, 2014 by Marc Guberti Leave a Comment

The internet changed a lot in 2013. Many popular websites that were getting numerous visitors were getting the slap from Google. One of those websites was Squidoo where I have over 150 lenses (micro blogs).

Ever since Squidoo got the slap, and the slap really hurt, they have been making big changes. Many of these changes turned me off as a user. I only created a few lenses in 2013 because that’s when all of the crazy changes started to happen.

Then came 2014 when Squidoo decided to have all Giant Squids reapply to the program. Giant Squids are the people on Squidoo with over 25 quality lenses that members of Squidoo HQ have looked at and approved. Getting there is a big accomplishment, and I did not want it to be taken away from me. As a result, I reapplied and as a result created 3 new Squidoo lenses. I used a format that makes the new Squidoo lenses similar to a blog post. These were the three lenses that I created:

How To Get A Targeted Following On Twitter
How To Lower Your Blog’s Bounce Rate
How To Find The Best Guest Blog For You

I would have never created those three lenses if my Giant Squid status was on the line. After creating those three lenses, I was able to see once again how easy and fun it is to use Squidoo. I may schedule some tweets with my Squidoo lenses in the future as well.

I highly doubt I was the only Giant Squid who reapplied. There must be thousands of Giant Squids on Squidoo. If 2,500 Giant Squid lensmasters created 3 lenses each, that would be an additional 7,500 lenses on Squidoo. If those lenses all get 1 visitor every day, that’s an extra 7,500 visitors every day. In addition, some lensmasters such as myself will be more encouraged to create lenses and share them with everyone.

I will be writing more Squidoo lenses like the three above and sharing them on my blog and on my social networks. This change was a really good one. Squidoo did get the slap, but it is on the rise.

Create an account here. It’s fun and easy. I promise.

Show Your Talents, But Not Your Pride

May 22, 2013 by Marc Guberti Leave a Comment

What are you good at? The question gets asked to many people just like that or through a paraphrase. No one answers by saying nothing. Everyone will say what they are good at. People will say they are really smart, do a lot of sports, have a blooming business, or anything else that they might want to say. It’s okay to tell people what your talents are, but that’s it.

The problem with talking more about your talents is that you’re also talking more about yourself. You can say you have a great business, but don’t say how much better it is than someone elses or emphasize that you started it from scratch. When people ask me what I do online, I say that I’m a blogger and write lenses on Squidoo. I don’t say that I started from scratch and did everything else (I’m not going to take the time to brag because bragging isn’t right). People want to know what your good at, so answer the question. Only give extra details about yourself if they want to know more about you.

As I have said multiple times, if you keep on talking about yourself, you will only be able to talk with yourself.

How I Did With My Easter Break Goals

How I Did With My Easter Break Goals

There are only a few days left for Easter Break. I was able to accomplish many of my goals, forget about others, and make new ones. Here are the results:

I am predicted to have over 3,500 Twitter followers by the end of Easter Break.
I won’t be getting those extra 1,000 YouTube views, but I did get an extra 100 views.
I have only created 1 video. I won’t create 20, but I plan to get to 10 before the end of Easter Break.
I got a lot of Squidoo lenses out of Tier 4.
I added more pages to this blog.
I finished the updates for another blog.
I added RSS Feeds to more of my Squidoo lenses.
I have more lenses close to Tier 1 and 2.
I am close to having my own iPhone/Android App.
I am close to publishing eBooks on the Kindle.

There is still time for me to complete goals that I did not complete or work on new ones. There is no limit to how many goals you set yourself, and whether you complete them all or not, your business benefits.
