Ready for Bonus Lesson Number Seven?

Have you completed lessons one through six on my How to Become a Squidoo Somebody in 6 Easy Lessons lens? You have? Congratulations! You're now Somebody on Squidoo, and you're ready for lesson number seven.

I didn't write lesson seven. It's actually a lens written by lensmaster and Giant Squid bdkz, called 50 Ways to Use Squidcasting. It's one of my very favorite lenses for two reasons. One, it's very cleverly written. Each of the 50 examples comes with a link and the links mostly go to other lenses. (Great idea!)

The second reason I love the lens is that not all of the 50 links go to bdkz's lenses. In many cases, the links go to other people's lenses. Why would a lensmaster do that? Well, because that's in keeping with the true spirit of Squidoo and the rule that's part of my lesson number four, the one that goes like this:

Any time you post a comment anywhere on Squidoo have a "what can I offer" attitude rather than a "what can I get out of this" attitude.

So, if you've completed lessons one through six and you're now a Squidoo Somebody, go ahead and read and study the lens that I'm adopting as bonus lesson number seven, 50 Ways to Use Squidcasting, and while you're learning all about the hows, whys, and wherefores of 'casting a lens, pay attention to the "give a little, get a lot" spirit of Squidoo in action.

It just doesn't get any better than that.

P.S. You can 'cast a lens from your dashboard or directly from the lens itself; you'll find the link in your toolbox at the top right of each lens.
