Hey, Everyone
Have any of you ever used www.Squidoo.com to set up a free page ot two about your expertise in the business? From what I understand, you can also list your business in the business section. Anyone familiar with this at all?

Hi Nicole,

I set up a few Squidoo lenses, mostly to promote affiliate programs (since I no longer design my own baskets).

Here is an example I did for Valentine's day: http://www.squidoo.com/valentines-day-gifts

Of course, like everything else, just creating a page will not do you any good. You'll need to update it often (I haven't updated the above in a long time and it slipped down in ranks), point links to your lense, and do all the other thing you'd do to send traffic to your own website.

Squidoo is only one of the web 2.0 sites available. Others are:

- Hub pages (here is a page someone did on Japanese Gift Wrapping)

- http://YouTube.com

And many more. I may take some time and put together a few pages regarding social marketing if there is enough interest.

Thanks much, Adriana!
I ran across the site while doing a search on gift basket classes and info, and was curious as to whether it could help me promote my site. Are you allowed to put in links that point to your actual website?

Absolutely, it can help you promote your site, and yes, you can add links that point to your site.

That helps alot. I'll get right on that. Hopefully it will help drive more traffic to my site. Have a blessed day!

Facebook - www.facebook.com is another one that you can do the same thing with.

I think they only do much if you promote them though, and I don't where people get the time to do everything! :-)

cheers,
