Step by step instructions on starting your own page on the popular internet publishing site, Squidoo. Includes video providing overview of lens features.

1. Getting Started
Online
publishing site
Squidoo

2. Squidoo’s homepage is a busy place.
Luckily, your only concern is with
the button in the corner.

3. You can sign up using Facebook or traditionally
if you want to hide from friends and family.

4. This is what you’ll get if you pick the
Facebook method.

5. But we won’t deal with that today.

6. Let’s take the scenic route. Here you’ll have to dig your
brain a bit if you want a profile with pizazz.

7. Usernames must
be unique
Just when you think you’re being creative,
someone out there proves otherwise.

8. You’ll need to add:
• your e-mail address
• Squidoo password 6-8
characters long
Green check marks signal Squidoo’s
seal of approval.

9. • Click the service
agreement box
• Type the fun-house word
into the field
• Click
It’s not that they don’t trust you,
they just don’t know you . . yet.
*If you’re getting cross-eyed trying to read the warped word, the “click here”
button will swap it with another, hopefully readable, word.

10. Get a taste from the
cream of the crop
Squidoo will give you the option to start
building your page right away or snoop around
to scout ideas first.

11. Let’s see what the others are up to.

12. Save general topics for the check-out line. The
best pages target a specific audience.

13. Here’s someone
who connects with
readers using an
interactive voting list
Yikes! Don’t tell mom, “Baby Got Back”
didn’t make the cut.

14. Now the fun begins. Type in the topic of
your new page. Remember, specific is better!

1. Type what you want your Internet address to look like.

Time to bring home the bacon!
