Raise Your Hand if You've Done This On Squidoo

I mean today. If you've promoted another lensmaster in any way, today, raise your hand.

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.
  

Why should you promote another lensmaster or someone else's lens?

• 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.
  

Put lensmaster promotion on your daily to-do list. It only takes a minute or two each day. Make it a habit. Then pat yourself on the back 'cause you deserve it!
