Archive for the ‘Branding on Squidoo’ Category

I get asked this question quite often - “would I be a good fit?” People want to know if they’ll be accepted and if their efforts will pay off if they join Squidoo. Since Lewis Smile and I launched Build My Lens to build professional lenses for clients, we’ve seen many niche marketers come through, so I feel qualified to let you know who is on Squidoo - and who should be!

Here’s a sampling of who we see buying a Squidoo lens:

Multi Level Marketers - Men and women who promote such companies as CarbonCopyPro and Business in a Box, The Reverse Funnel System, Shaklee, Magnetic Sponsoring, and many more!

Niche Internet Marketers - People who want to cash in on their niche - from dog training to law of attraction and more.

Authors - Not just eBook authors, but print book authors. Lewis and I have created lenses for some very big names, but we can’t tell you who because the PR firm outsources the work to us. Drat! However, I will tell you that you’ve seen some of them on TV.

Real Estate Professionals - This is becoming a biggie! Real Estate pros are now hiring us to create lenses for them to showcase their business (it’s like a virtual business card!) and also to even showcase houses they’re promoting for sale.

Hobbyists - Not everyone wants a lens for money. Many want a professional lens just for something they’re passionate about. We’ve created lenses on tons of topics, including spirituality, pets, doll house building, and more!

Who is on Squidoo?

Who isn’t - that may be a better question!

Hi everyone!

If you hop on over to Kevin Riley’s new Squidoo lens that Lewis and myself created, you can see what type of work we’re doing for people for the Build My Lens launch.

It looks sharp - nice text, images, and interactive modules.

We’re gearing up to launch and testing out certain services and creations, but I wanted to share what a good branding lens looks like.

When I started using Squidoo, I was focused on spreading ideas and making information known. I hadn’t considered branding my own name, even though I knew it would help boost my reputation on the ‘net for the knowledge I could impart as well as the writing skills I was offering as services.

Then when I launched my Social Networking on Squidoo group, I noticed there was someone who had registered the lenses of many top marketers. Since I’m striving to build my own name, I quickly went and registered my moniker at Squidoo, too.

I suspicion that this person is going to populate the lens with great information and ride the wave of Squidoo PageRank to a top listing and then sell the lens for a nice profit. I am also doing this with a couple of hot products. But Squidoo has made it even easier on you to brand your name now than when I first created http://www.squidoo.com/TiffanyDow.

They created a group for you to add your lens to as a “Person Who Matters.”  Do you matter?  Of course you do - and you need to join this group and help brand you - as your business. What do you gab about? Position yourself as an expert in your niche. I told a personal story of how I got started with Internet Marketing.

Make your lens by going here http://www.squidoo.com/people/hq and clicking on Build a Lens to add it to the group. I only hope my Squidoo lens doesn’t topple my top ranking in Google where my home page at www.TiffanyDow.com currently has top spot. I frequently battle with another Tiffany Dow (who is an artist) for that position.

Start branding your name today - and don’t be afraid to become a “guru” in your own right.
