The Eclectic WAHM

Huh? What the heck does she mean, "Giant Squid"??? I've talked about this really cool site, Squidoo where you can build pages (called lenses) for free on any topic you want. So I've been playing around on the site for a while and building lenses on various topics like working from home, theater, making home made ice cream, having gerbils as pets...all kinds of stuff. I've made some money at it too. It's been a blast and I've had a great time getting to know my fellow lensmasters and learning the "tricks of the trade" to build better lenses and make more money.



They have this "Giant Squid" program where you have to have 50 or more quality lenses. Giant Squids get cool lens making tools and all kinds of other things. So this morning, I was playing with my lenses and whaddaya know...I have a shiny new "Giant Squid" badge on all my lenses! Woo hoo!

Here's my lensmaster page if anyone wants to check it out: http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/EclecticWAHM

Squidoo is so much fun, and you can make some cash too. I have all my lenses set to donate 10% of earnings to charity also. I'm supporting NPR with my contributions. You can choose from tons of various charities to support.

Check it out...make a lens about your favorite hobbies, yourself, your favorite Broadway show...whatever. It's easy and FUN!

I've posted about Squidoo a few times and I must say it continues to be a fun way to get information out there and connect with others who have similar interests. For those of you unfamiliar with Squidoo, it's basically a place where you can build single web pages (called lenses) on specific topics for FREE! Their tools make it so simple to share with the world anything you want, and you can make some money while doing it. It's a win-win situation.

My lens count is now over 50. I have a few on working and making money from home and a whole bunch about my passion - live theater. Another part of Squidoo I've really enjoyed is the sense of community there. There are lens groups you can join to connect with others, and forums where lensmasters communicate about everything from regular chit-chat to how to make better lenses. Everyone I've come across has been happy to give advice and help out. It's a fantastic group of people!

While it hasn't been "making a living" money, I've also earned some nice spare cash from my lenses and each month the amount I've earned has increased. Gotta love that! I encourage you to check it out for yourself. Take a topic you're interested in and build a page and you'll see how easy it is! Have fun!

I've been having more fun on Squidoo lately than I have online in a while! If you're not familiar, Squidoo is a place where you can create lenses which are single web pages on any topic...and it's FREE! You'll find lenses on just about everything there - so much fun learning to do!

I've created over 30 lenses now about working from home, live theater, Broadway performers and more.

Check it out when you have a chance, and make your own free lens.

Here's a list of my lenses - stop by and say hello! The Eclectic WAHM on Squidoo
