Writing on Squidoo

Have you ever heard about Squidoo? We recently scanned our old notes about our blogging lessons and found out that our mentor had a list about writing on Squidoo and other get-paid-to-write-articles websites.

Squidoo

We tried it, as we usually do. Anyways, the ambiance on this site was quite kiddie and funny but still with the essence of being serious. Funny in a way that they use cartoon characters as a representation. They give points for leveling and trophies for everything you do with your dashboard as an achievement.

What was really amazing with it is that you can serve ads with Google Adsense and E-bay without even applying for it. As we all know that the standards of Adsense are really much hard to achieve. We had tried it once and we failed.

The only TOS(Terms of Service) we really remembered about them is that the article you wrote should be G-Rated because if you tried even once an X-rated article, you will automatically be deleted as member of them. So keep that in mind and we won't even try it.

Anyway, here's a step by step on how to work with Squidoo.

How to Publish Articles on Squidoo:

My Lens

1. Go to Squidoo.com and sign-up.
2. Start making your lens(Articles). Just be sure that you fill-up everything to make sure that it is ready for publish.
3. Set-up the ads for Amazon and E-bay (which in a way has auto fill also).

So start making your lens and discover what's really behind the squidoo smile!And when you're done, tell me how had it helped you too?

Writing offline by Windows Live Writer

The technology as of today really embeds itself into modernization for a better life like for a new blogger like me, Windows Live Writer is really a great help.

I was really glad when I first discovered this tool. A great way on working offline with your blogs. These also features a theme from your blog so it does really look like your working on your blog online.

I am using Windows 7, so it has a more modern programs that really is very much useful. You could even make a draft and set a date to when it would be published. At least, you could make a progress out of your blog, working on writing more with a less expense on being online. It is also a way of making, using and developing your blog on a much lesser effort on finance, although wifi’s are everywhere, but not at all free.

So, try discovering and adding your blogs on Windows Live Writer and start enjoying your blogging today.
