Squidoo isn’t just for business
By Mike | May 7, 2008
You see lots of people talking about using Squidoo for there business, linking exppertise building and more.
You can use it for more than just that. Doing so can also help your business too.
Here is an example. My partner Paul Rushing just had the lens of the day. It is not a business related lens but a passion of his.
Check it out at Raising A Child With A Cleft Palate.
Now here is the thing - that lens is about a passion he has. (Not that circumstances haven’t created that passion.) He uses it to raise awareness and help raise funds for a charity that is near and dear to his heart.
That lens had a lot more traffic than usual yesterday because of being the lens of the day. I know that he has received quite a few ratings (40 last I checked) and favorites (22) because of that.
Now this wasn’t created to promote any of his business lenses. It was a passion to raise awareness for a topic that is dear to him.
That being said though there is and was a spillover to his other lenses. This will raise his profile in the community at Squidoo. It will help even with the business lenses.
What pasions do you have? Have you built a lens just for that topic?
Yes I know we tend to want to worry about the business but spending some time on your passions can have some beneficial effects and help people at the same time. Consider it.
