I almost fainted today! It’s been a while since I visited My (main) Stats page, it’s just not something I freak about anymore – I say anymore because it used to be the place on my Dashboard that I haunted obsessively. Gotta tell you there are more things in life than stressing over stats. Anywho, I’m trying to make a point here.
Clicked on My Stats today (tab in the main Dashboard) and almost fainted to see 17 people had signed up with me on Squidoo since early November. The ‘fainty thing’ happened because that is like wild, I’d only had 10 people (before this 17) for all 2 1/2 years I’ve been a lensmaster on Squidoo. Oh man, still trying to make my point =D
Got busy visiting all my new chums and noticed three major things on 15 outta the 17 new lensmaster profiles. So short story to really long – please, please as a new Squidoo member you’ve gotta take these four steps once you’ve signed up. Three of these are accomplished by clicking on My Profile from your Squidoo Dashboard, the fourth is a must-have guide for all newbies and even us oldies but goldies.
- Update your default bio…if all you have is short and sweet that’s fine.
- Add your photo or online avatar to your profile.
- Scroll down to Account Settings make sure you have your Allow contact turned on.
- Grab a FREE copy of Squidoo Step-by-Step – I venture to say this is the go-to guide for ALL that enter into making lenses on Squidoo.
Now, since my near fainting spell, checking My (main) Stats page on a weekly basis is added to my list of to-do’s. Phew!

If I didn’t hang out at the beach all the time I’d check those stats more often, but it’s warm here.. and cold where I live

I must be real scary. Not a single soul has signed up under me.
Well it’s probably because I have my link posted from here to next Friday AND on my forehead when I walk around town…lol! Now the trick is to get those signer-uppers to get to Squidooing too! And you ain’t scary to me!
Hmmm… so that’s what’s supposed to be on your forehead, Correen? Damnit! Y’all should tell me these things!
Alex! How good is your tattoo artist? I need to have this one changed a bit. Instead of “write for free” it says … well you don’t need to know that.
Oh and Correen, he ain’t scary to me either, more like a teddy bear…with a squeaky inside.

I think you meant to say ’squeezy’, right? LOL! Oh no to the forehead tatto! please! Those big new post-it notes work like a charm…the plus, you get to change colors and message at whim!
Uh oh! A light bulb went on. So who should I have signed up under?…Yep…and no, I didn’t…damn!

Hedging a bet it wasn’t Alex…gotta tell ya it better have been Bon!
LOL @ Rich!! I know what you didn’t dooooooo!!! You will be so in trouble. Man, after the couple of comments I’ve seen lately from you, MiMi may be right.. got central heat in that doghouse?

LOL! Maybe paint brushes, some paint, plumbing tools…oh, and a new bed for me would have been better Christmas presents…sigh…

Wellll, it should have been, but…boy, that doghouse door is getting so close.

I’ve got a great doggie treat recipe, that is just in case you need it :O
How long has it been since you’ve seen this much action, Correen? I mean on your blog.. no nevermind, don’t answer that
Well if you really want to know…nevermind TMI =D
Mmmm, I need to add that link more often. I’ve only had two sign up under me and then they both seemed to have dropped off of the planet.
Great tips for new Squids!

The BIG post-it notes work great Bev…lol!
Mine have mustered an average of one lens apiece. And why Drifter doesn’t inspire… Well, I guess it’s the intimidation thingy — a prospect does have to feel that he could do as well or better.
That is what is going on with the folks that signed up under me – or worse yet nothing and no way to contact them to see if they need help. Shoot!
I enjoyed this bantering and innuendo, and as for me… I’m … no I’ve bumped my head on the doghouse door much too often! G’night all
