If your hand is in the air, pat yourself on the back. If your hand isn't, read on.
Where can you promote another lensmaster?
- On the SquidU forum in the "Lenses we like" category.
- On twitter. Tweet a link to a lens and tell why you like it. (If you're not on twitter yet, please join today. You'll be glad you did.)
- On your blog. You do have a blog, don't you?
- On one of your own lenses. Add a Featured Lenses module or a Featured Lensmasters module. Choose a lensmaster you admire and show and tell everyone why you do.
- To give back. Chances are some lensmaster has helped you on Squidoo, somewhere along the line. Now it's your turn to help somebody else.
- To build community and credibility. What's good for one lensmaster is good for the entire Squidoo community. Not only will you boost traffic, you'll boost Squidoo's reputation as a group of givers.
- To build your own reputation, even your own brand. Being known as a giver on Squidoo is a great thing. People will remember you and seek you out. Plus, it makes you feel really good about yourself.
- Because Megan and Seth said so. The Giants had a telephone conference recently and this is part of the advice that was given to us in answer to the question, "What can we do for Squidoo?" It was a great answer.

It feels really good to promote others. It's a part of who I am. I hope other lensmasters who don't promote their fellow LMs will come to see that it's a good thing -- for us all.
I am waving at you Susan and MiMi. Thanks for mentioning the thread in the SquidU Forum Susan - it is going very well and the majority of people who post on there have read the title, read the first post and only link to OTHER Lensmaster's lenses.....
I love the way the "promote other people" movement is gathering momentum. I understand Megan said the same thing during the Giants' Chat with Megan and Seth last week.
Let's hope more and more people sign up to it.
My hand is up! There is another advantage to promoting other lensmasters on your own lenses. I believe it adds to your own credibility on your topic, showing that you have spent some time researching. It also gives your reader even more information.
Promoting someone else doesn't take away anything, it only adds to what you have written.
