Beginning to Write at Squidoo

A friend of mine recently told me about a writing site called Squidoo. I checked it out and immediately became hooked. This site is so much fun. Anyone can write here. You don't need to be a professional. What you do is create what is known as a lens. It's somewhat like a blog, but different. A lens can be about anything.

You can choose to do it for fun or to attempt to make money. One nice option is the Amazon feature. You can add products from Amazon on your lens that either Amazon picks out or that you personally choose.
It's very easy to get started and within just a few minutes of signing up with the site, you can be working on your first lens. The following is my first attempt.


As you get familiar with the site, you'll find there's a variety of things you can add to your lens including pictures, polls and YouTube videos. As you level up, more options will be made available to you including what are known as quests. This is when you can choose to take a challenge or not. To give you a better feel of Squidoo, here are some additional lenses to check out.






If this sounds like fun, give Squidoo a try!
