I think it’s been 6 months since I joined Squidoo. Oh wait, I just checked, and it’s been 7!
I heard about Squidoo from a New York Times article and the whole premise just intrigued me. Of course, making money online is cool, too, but I hadn’t really tried to do that before. The Squidoo platform just seemed so straightforward and easy on the eyes. Why not make just a single webpage on some small topic I enjoy? I mean, I would never build a whole site around one of these things….
I decided at the beginning that I would give Squidoo 6 solid months of effort before deciding whether to quit or not. If it didn’t make me any money, if I didn’t like the layout, if it couldn’t do things I wanted to do, if the people were mean, if if if. There were lots of things that could go wrong. But you know what? I’m still here. Actually, I like Squidoo a lot! It’s so easy to use and people are nice and people write comments and I get traffic! I love getting attention!
So, although I’m not quitting my job to do online stuff full time yet, I’m going to stick around on Squidoo and continue building these pages one at a time. It’s so refreshing.
