 A Squidoo lens is designed to be a highly focused window to other directly related resources - blog posts, websites, Flickr photos, YouTube videos, web-based articles or e-books. Hence a lens is not an end in itself but a means to an end - a window on other information about a topic, issue, problem, product or service of interest to the reader. Each Squidoo lens you create has a unique URL.

There is no limit to the number of free Squidoo lenses you can create. At the time of writing this article, I have in excess of 50 Squidoo lenses which are catalogued in my “lensography”.

Each lens has AdSense ads and other ads that generate revenue for Squidoo, charities supported by Squidoo and the lensmaster (lens creator). The lensmaster can choose to give all or some of their share of this direct revenue to charity.

Squidoo lenses can be used for endless applications, for example, to promote a cause, support a charity, educate, showcase an artist or photographer or generate affiliate income.

Each Squidoo lens is made up of modules and widgets (like WordPress blogs) that can be accessed by a unique point-and-click technology. You don’t even have to know HTML to create and market your Squidoo lenses. There are even lenses on basic HTML and advanced HTML if you want to be creative. The design of each lens is limited only by your imagination.

In a very real sense a Squidoo lens can integrate many elements of Web 2.0 technology - blogging, Flickr, FaceBook, YouTube, RSS feeds and Twitter. Fundamental to Squidoo is the connections it creates - between people, between lenses, between resources and between social networks.

Squidoo enables you to contribute to Squidoo charities as a by-product of lens creation. You can also promote a charity of your choice, a location and community, a local artist or a local business.

You can recruit people to your favorite hobby such as scrapbooking, model trains, electronic toys, photography, model planes or stamp collecting.

You can even create a Squidoo Group, or join an existing group, to link to people who share your interests and passions.

What also appeals to me personally is the opportunity to be creative and extend my “learning edge” or “push the envelope”. The numerous Squidoo lens templates, modules and widgets provide endless opportunities to be creative and to develop different lenses for different purposes. For example, I have created a photographic exhibition, a simulated tropical rainforest walk and my e-portfolio.

Squidoo can tap your creativity, build your income, grow your connections and enhance your Internet presence. You learn Squidoo by building lenses - but beware, Squidoo is addictive!

Blogging is a commitment, but it can pay big dividends in your online marketing and in service to your clients. Just remember to keep the blog process simple and easy to use, hire the help you need to get things set up the way you want them, and then blog regularly. Blog which is short for web log was first used as an on-line journal and still retains many journal writing conventions such as frequent personal postings of first hand experiences in reverse chronological order. Recent blogs have however grown into somewhat more than that.

People that employ a well thought out blogging strategy encourage the strongest community goodwill, and that goodwill, in turn, promotes significant marketing and sales gains. It is said that success breeds success. Sites or blogs that seek to continually reinvent are true marketing companies at heart. They scan the marketplace for niches to serve and use their strengths to dominate other niches or sub niches.

Google analytics works really well for any sort of blog. It gives you so much information and you can really understand what people are looking for and what they have liked on your blog. Google and other search engines include many factors within their ranking system. One of these factors is trust rank. Google can index your site fast if you have links with other sites which have heavy traffic. Perhaps the quickest and the most successful way is to use the advantages of online directories.Google will regularly come by to index the postings on your blog site. However, this may not likely generate the traffic you have always wanted, this could be your first step in making your website successful.

Email marketing is one of the very important and less costly ways of promoting a website. It is one of the ways which has proven to be a very effective method of promoting a website. Email makes business communications instant, whether the customer or business affiliate is across the street or across the globe. It makes it easier for customers to maintain contact and readily facilitates repeat purchasing.

Avoid all scams that promise to build your business on your behalf. Don’t get fooled that you will get something in return for nothing as marketing a business cannot be successfully built on that premise.Success is waiting for you, just be a lot more persistent. Remember, failure sometimes is a last step left to a great success. Success in network marketing comes from treating your business like an actual business.
