Well there is officially 1 whole day to get your application in for Giant Squid! YEAH! Here are some quick Q & A's, tips and a few words of advice!
When do I need to get my application in?
It's Monday night so you still have
tonight, and all day Tuesday to get in your application
for Giant Squid status. Just send us an e-mail at giants@squidoo.com by
Tuesday June 3oth at midnight EST with your Squidoo Bio page so we
know who you are. Apply, Apply, Apply You
MUST apply to be a Giant Squid. No exception here. Even if you are
nominated by someone you still need to apply yourself. Hint to all of
the people who did nominate someone...let them know that they need to
apply! Again, just send an e-mail to giants@squidoo.com with your
Squidoo bio page.
Can I still make Giant Squid?
YES you can! If you still need 2, 4, 6 or even 8 lenses it's entirely possible to make the deadline. Here's a quick tip...try using a Squidoo Co-Brand for your last 2 or 3 lenses. They come with neat templates and are not quite as time consuming as traditional lenses! The bottom line is that we want you to succeed. If you've worked your butt off and made 48 fantastic quality lenses we'll know! Creating your last 2 lenses about your favorites actor or author with the SquidWho Co-Brand is A-OK with us. Believe me when I say they we can spot quality lensmasters a mile away, having one or two shorter fun lenses won't blow your rep.
So what's next?
We want to notify everyone before the July 4th Holiday weekend. So here's the plan. We are hoping to notify the new Giant Squids and Top 100 Club on Thursday July, 2nd...BUT we might need an extra day if we get behind. Everyone will be notified via e-mail...even if you didn't make it this time around.
So take a little breather...
relax and make a lens or two. There's no need to keep checking your mail box every hour this week (I know I did when I was waiting to make Giant Squid) because although we are working hard to get you set up as soon as possible but it will not happen before Thursday, July 2nd.
Also remember that the next deadline for making Giant Squid is Septemper 30th, 2009 so tell your friends, family, mailman, BF, hairdresser and whoever else you think might be a fabulous Giant Squid!
Oh and Congratulations for making it this far! *Clap*Clap*Clap*
