You will probably love Squidoo.What is Squidoo? It’s like Wikipedia in a sense. Members create pages about specific topics. The difference in Squidoo is that it allows for an infinite amount of topics to be posted, whether or not it has been previously posted or not, and it is yours and yours only.
The really cool thing about Squidoo is that while the pages are advertised with Adsense for Squidoo, they will split the money made from Adsense on your page. I like to think of it as a mini-blog/website due to the fact that you can constantly update it, or leave it static if you’d like. There are widgets and lots of options to help make money as well. They offer commission for people sent through your Lens (think of it like your blog) that purchase items. You can make money from Amazon and Ebay programs. If you choose to do so, the money you make can be sent to charity, all of it or some of it, instead of taking it all.
What do I use Squidoo for? I am a university student. I have to write a bunch of mindless crap, do 20 hours of research, and what do I get out of it? Besides kick ass grades, I lose about 6,000 dollars a semester. Well why not and try to make that money back? I could make a blog, but honestly, I can’t write a bunch of stuff on human rights, psychology, or American literature everyday, let alone manage the amount of blogs I would have. I think I’d rather die than type my professors history notes. So I will stick my papers and my notes up on Squidoo. It may or may not make money, and even if it isn’t a lot, I feel like the work I did for that paper deserves more than an A. The more Squidoo Lenses you have up, the more likely you are to make money. There are some users that are have already hundreds of lenses. Here is one blog with a man trying to make One Million Squidoo Lenses.
That is just one idea I have used Squidoo for. I’m sure there are lots of other things you can use it for. There are options to debate on lenses, groups can be formed, and if you make tons of lenses you can basically make your own network of Squidoo pages. The opportunities are amazing here. I suggest if you really like blogging, or any kind of writing, you check out Squidoo.
