You don’t know what you are missing, if you have not tried growing your home based business yet through Squidoo. Squidoo.com is one of the newer social networking sites modeled after MySpace and Facebook but unlike those two it encourages the marketing of products and services. This is a place that actually wants you to advertise your website.

Squidoo currently has a huge collection of articles an varied subjects. The material is grouped by category helping the Squidoo follower get right to whatever they are looking for. The categories include; books, travel, music, business, health and medicine, tv and movies, shopping and many more. Say you are wanting to plan a road trip for example. Squidoo has an article on how to do that which includes links to possible destinations, attractions and places to stay. Generating possible leads for your company has never been easier.

The idea behind Squidoo is that you can set up a lens for others on Sqidoo to find your product or service. Begin by setting up a free account. Have a look at some other lenses on Squidoo before you put your own lens on there. When you are ready to set up your own lens, click on the Make A Lens box and begin. To begin with you will have to explain what your intentions for the lens are. Your next task is to paste the URL of your own site and choose a category for your lens. Complete your profile and try to add key search words so it can be found.

The reason why Squidoo calls their pages ‘lenses’ is to point out that this is what the user fucusses on. It is believed that about 500 thousand people go to the site every day. All these people could become buyers of your service or product. When you begin with your lens you will be required to give a brief summary and title for it. Next, you can create a guest book for your visitors and add an area with links to similar sites. With Squiddoo you even get access to making money because you can suggest other products related to your own, you then get a commission for every purchase. To finish off with your lens click the publish button and leave the rest to Squidoo.
