bdkz's Best Squidoo Tips

2009-11-10T21:13:09-05:00

I wrote bdkz's Best Squidoo Tips almost two years ago. It was written to give people an idea of what it takes to succeed on Squidoo. I just read the entire lens again and I believe that the tips still hold true today. Success on Squidoo is not an overnight achievement. It takes time, dedication and perseverance to become a veteran lensmaster but the rewards are plenty...a wonderful community, a chance to be a Giant Squid and an income. So to those of you who are justing starting out, keep at it, learn the ropes and find some Squidoo friends to help you out...trust me it'll be worth the investment!

Squidoo is looking for some experts!

2009-11-09T13:55:08-05:00

Here's what Kimberly needs:

Do you have what it takes to be a Citizen Squid Mentor? Our Mentors are expert lensmasters who volunteer their time to help you succeed in specific areas of Squidoo. Lakeerieartists is our First Lens Mentor, and can help you perfect your very first lens. Trekkiemelissa is your HTML & CSS Mentor. She can help you add nifty code to your lenses.
