Do You Squidoo?
I have to admit, I'm pretty slow in taking up new methods of marketing. I tend to view them as fads. Myspace for example. I've never marketed on there and I never will. Why? Because you're not supposed to - it's in the TOS (although a lot of people tend to ignore that).
I don't want any upsets down the road so I've stayed away from a lot of the social networking sites.
Except for one.
Squidoo, was created by a marketer (Seth Godin) and it's whole concept is to be an aid to marketers or to anyone who wants to get their thoughts out to the world.
The beauty of Squidoo is that it's easy to use, you can put pretty much whatever you want on there (including affiliate links - HINT) and it ranks REAL WELL in Google. Get your keywords or phrase right and you can almost instantly get your Squidoo page or indeed the site you're targeting via Squidoo onto the first page of the Big G!
Once you sign up to Squidoo, you'll see that you become a lens master. The problem here is that when starting out you're far from being a "master" of anything to do with Squidoo!
I wrote up a bit about a niche I was working on. Added a few links to my site and waited. Nothing really seemed to happen and I was kind of kicking myself for launching into another fad.
I was, as usual, completely wrong. When someone pointed me in the direction of Tiffany Dow's Social Networking on Squidoo the fog lifted and I began to see how to use Squidoo properly from a marketer's perspective.
Go take a look now and find out how to drive an avalanche of traffic to your site using Tiffany's book - Social Networking on Squidoo
