Have you ever thought about getting your own webpage? With Squidoo you can have your own webpage up and running within minutes and it is absolutely free.
Squidoo
Squidoo is setup to make it quick and easy for anyone to create their own webpage. Your Squidoo Lens, as the pages are called, can be about whatever interests you. Write about your favorite hobby, celebrities, music, politics or whatever you are passionate about. There is no limit to how many lenses you can create.
Squidoo users who create lenses are referred to as lensmasters. As a lensmaster you will have access to lots of easy to use and customizable tools to create and organize your lens. You can add YouTube videos, photos, Google Maps, blog RSS feeds, a guest book and much more right from your control panel. You don’t have to know anything about HTML or coding, but if you like you can also use basic HTML to make your content stand out or to place hyperlinks to external pages that might be of interest to your visitors.
Squidoo is also a great resource to help you promote your existing website or blog. You can use your Squidoo lens to generate hype and interest in the topic of your website or blog and place links in the content to give your visitors access to them. It is a very effective way to generate more traffic to your website and create valuable backlinks.
You can even opt to take a share in the advertising revenue or donate it to your favorite charitable organization. Squidoo will actually give you a bigger portion of the advertising revenue than they keep for themselves. Lensmasters get 50 percent of the revenues, Squidoo keeps 45 percent and the rest is donated to a charity. You have the option of getting your share paid into your PayPal account or you can donate it to your choice of about 65 different charities.
If you would like to take a look at a couple Squidoo lenses to get an idea for what you can do with your own topic here are a couple of my favorites:

As you can see Squidoo really is a great resource. You can put up a webpage about something you are interested in, share in the advertising revenue generated from your content and even build backlinks for your website.
So, what are you waiting for? Head on over to Squidoo now and get started. You really can have your own lens up and running within just a few minutes.

I would like to know if it is possible to sell Squidoo lenses and if so how difficult would it be to transfer it to the buyer?
Hello Gene
Yes, selling a Squidoo lens is possible and in fact most webmaster forums will have sections for buying or selling Squidoo lenses. Of course Squidoo has their own forum and there is a lens marketplace there.
Transferring a lens to a new owner just takes typing or pasting in their email address after which they will get an email and accept the transfer.
I currently have around 20 lenses. I have sold about as many and have also custom made lenses for several clients. Squidoo is fun to work with as there are so many ways you can arrange and manipulate your content.

Hello Omar, I’m really not sure I understand what you problem with Squidoo is. A Squidoo Lens cannot be moved onto a different website as it is a part of the squidoo.com domain. Perhaps if you could elaborate more about what you are trying to accomplish with your Squidoo Lens I may be able to offer some help.
