Tweet about this lens: First of all, welcome to my lens, everyone. To make a long story beginning shorter, I had been on Squidoo over a year, but then in 2010 I decided to GET SERIOUS about it. I have some tips here on how to get to Squidoo Giant. This lens has some great helping lenses written by other people on it. I hope you like them! In April of 2011 I became a GIANT SQUID. I did it again in June of 2011, because Squidoo had everyone re-apply. ... http://www.squidoo.com/thebeginnersguidetoSquidoo Tue, 02 Oct 2012 14:34:37 -0600 FeedCreator 1.7.2 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 07:52:19 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/thebeginnersguidetoSquidoo/squidcast/1092578-i-am-now-a-giant-squid-i-just-had-to-write-a-squidcast-about-it-today- Hi! How are you doing today?<br /><br />I had a GREAT day. I am SO excited.<br /><br />Today I got an official email from Squidoo. I have made Giant Squid-dom! I am SO happy about it.<br /><br />I wrote a short posting at my blog, <a href="http://www.squidooliz.com/">Squidoo Liz</a>, and also made changes here on my <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/thebeginnersguidetoSquidoo">Free Squidoo Secrets</a> lens too.<br /... Mon, 11 Apr 2011 20:31:18 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/thebeginnersguidetoSquidoo/squidcast/1090962-today-is-an-exciting-day- Today I finished my 50th lens, and applied to be a Giant Squid. I should hear about it in about a week.<br /><br />I am really excited about it. I did hear that sometimes you don't make Giant Squid the first time, so I will be prepared for that. But I'm glad I applied.<br /><br />It's been a long time since I first joined Squidoo. I think I am cutting back on the time it takes to make a lens now, since I have more experience.<br /><br />I have met some really...

The weather, typical of Kentucky, goes back and forth from really cold to summerlike. I have updated this Squidoo Secrets lens, so am sending out a quick SquidCast.<br /><br />I have a couple of ideas about this new Squidoo policy for completeness on lenses using SquidLikes. I am now up to 49 lenses (yay!) and will probably make some extras before applying for Giant Squ...

It is a WordPress blog. I am used to Blogger blogs, so it will be awhile before it looks like I want.<br /><br />I do like the way it looks so far with the template it came with. The them is "My Journey" so the person walking looks great. But I will be making my own header later on.<br /><br />And this lens (Free Squidoo Secrets) has now passed my Free Art and Photo Sites as my #1 lens. Yay!<br />...

I put all my lenses on it that I have completed for RocketMoms, and it was a lot.<br /><br />Now I get to complete the tic-tac-toe form for RocketMoms, and tell all the lenses I commented on, and list my brand new lenses here. <br /><br />The next step for me will be reviewing each lens to make sure I have a different title on each section, and have not just used the title that was generi...

She suggests I check all my lenses and make sure that all the module headings are changed from the default module names.<br /><br />I think I remember hearing about this, and may have seen some of my earlier lenses with default module names on them. I remember thinking that I should check them someday, then I never did.<br /><br />So... I will be systematic, and check every single lens to make sure they are all A-OK and have differen...

Now all I do is open the file on my computer desktop that says Do Every Day and it lists for me my "jobs" for the day. I really think this will help me become more focused and enable me to do more lenses for Squidoo too.<br /><br />So... I hope you like my new list. Please feel free to use it as your own if you l...

I just redid my Free Squidoo Secrets lens and brought it up to date.<br /><br />While redoing it, I realized I needed to make at least 2 NEW lenses per week in order to reach my goal of becoming a Giant Squid.<br /><br />I also shared my mistake story of starting a topic on a popular forum site (Bloggeries) and NOT bookmarking it. <br /><br />I have been busy this month, but I need to keep up my momentum and keep sharing what I am doing with my Squidoo le...

There are some great groups out there to join, and I plan to add those here too. Got any advice for people who want to become a Giant Squid? Please leave a comment with your advice on the Beginner's Guide to Squidoo page. Thank you! Thu, 11 Feb 2010 19:44:24 -0600
