The Lensmaster Lounge
I joined Squdioo in Feb. of 2007 yet I didn't start posting in the Lounge until June. I had visited SquidU for learning purposes but just never got around to posting. Big Mistake. What was I thinking?
Don't follow my bad example. Joining the Squidoo Community has provided me tons of information, eduation and cool fellow Squids to chat with. I'm happy to say that I now have over 1,000 posts under my belt.
Here's how to get started. Login
This is easy. Just use your Squdioo Username and Password and you're in.
Setting up your profile is easy. You can add things like an avtar and a signature to spruce up your posts.
Get ready, Get Set, Start Posting! Ask a question, show off your lenses, read about successes stories. This is your Forum so make use of it!
Networking
Networking is a key part of becoming a successful business person. People who work in corporate American attend Rotary, Chamber of Commerce meetings, and network. Squidoo is no exception. The Lensmasters on the SquidU Forum are happy to answer questions and mentor newbies. So get involved!
There are also plenty of sites outside of Squidoo that will help you too. Join Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Digg, LinkedIn, etc. There are a ton of Lensmasters hanging out at these places with groups and networks to join.
