How a Free Squid Can Help you Sell
“Squidoo is the world’s most popular site for building free, single pages about your passions.”
If you haven’t heard of Squidoo yet, listen up because it could help you increase your art print sales. One of the best ways to understand Squidoo is as DailyCandy advises: “Think Friendster meets Wikipedia.” It is essentially a network of pages (lenses, ala Squidoo) about specific topics that users who love those topics create.
So, how can using Squidoo help you sell? Well, what is it you’re passionate about? Several Imagekind artists have already tapped into this excellent resource. Check these out to get some ideas on how you can utilize Squidoo:
Edition Handruck (on Squdioo)
Andrew Gibson (on Squidoo)
Natasha Wescoat (on Squidoo)
If you have yet to create a lens about your artwork, I would encourage you to check it out and start one. If you have started one, I’d love to see it. Throw a link in the comment section and I’d be happy to take a look.
If you have any questions or further ideas on how to use Squidoo more effectively, share them.

Those both look great Anne. Thanks for sharing them! It looks like you have some great connections with other Imagekind artists on there.
Do you think having a squidoo page is beneficial for you as an artist? How do you see it helping?
Thanks for reading!
