Ebay - Squidoo Challenge Bonus Offer and Tips
Arr... This Be The Captain! Thanks for Stopping by to check out my piratey bag of Squidoo Tricks! If you are new here, you might want to get free updates and squidoo tricks delivered straight to you via RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
As many of you have probably heard, Squidoo is sponsoring a contest for eBay users masterminded by Giant Squid and Powerseller Katiyana. The Challenge? Build 10 lenses in 10 days from June 4 - June 17th about eBay. There are of course, lots of fabulous prizes and exposure up for grabs including an eBay Live spotlight by Seth Godin, Lens of the Day, and an iPod to the winner.
Are you not an eBay powerseller? Don’t be discouraged! If you’ve ever bought or sold anything on eBay you are eligible to attempt the Challenge. Not an eBay member yet? Sign Up, look around and start creating lenses based on your first eBay experiences!
This is a fantastic opportunity to show users how to build high quality lenses reasonably quickly. I’ve decided that I’m going to participate in the challenge as well. Not only am I going to make the 10 lenses, I’m going to break down each lens every day and talk about the little things I do to help lenses get more traffic and succeed.
Hopefully this way I can give you folks some good tips to use with other eBay lenses or with your own affiliate programs.
You aren’t going to want to miss a single one of these so make sure and subscribe to my RSS feed (e-mail is available as well) here or by clicking the huge orange button at the top of the blog.
The Captain has decided that he is going to make a special offer to everyone that participates and completes the 10 day challenge.
Are you working on becoming a Giant Squid? Would you like to? Want some help getting there?
- Follow along in the ten day challenge by building your own lenses each day.
- Leave a comment here to say you are following along (and on each post each day with a link to your new lens if you wish).
- I will personally mentor each lensmaster who completes the 10 day challenge for the next ten days, helping them to build 10 more ultra high quality lenses (that can make piles of $$ as well!).
Prediction
I bet there are less than 10 people that will take me up on this offer and be able to complete the initial 10 ebay lenses. However, for those that make it and what to learn exactly what it is I do, I’ll show you some extra sneaky tricks I’ve used to go from $300 a month from Squidoo to $2,000 a month since January :).
Oh yea, and each person that makes it through building all 20 lenses over the next 20 days, I will write a personal letter of recommendation on your behalf to HQ to get you Giant Squid status.

I’m a little behind already since I started late. I’m looking forward to adding 19 more lenses though.
Wait, it’s not a SquidBid lens. Is that still okay for the challenge? I’ll see you in the chat room. 
Hi Loyalis,
Your lenses look great and the ebay tips you’ve provided so far have been a big help.
This contest is a great idea. I’m motivated, following along and will have my 10 lenses submitted and ready for submission.
Cheers!

I love a challenge. I came upon this late, which will make it even more challenging. Ten lenses in four days. Do I still qualify?
Well, this is a fine how do you do - I have four lenses and have visited frequently as I’ve helped a friend promote her invention and wrote her lens for her. This is the first I’ve heard of this, and I only happened to find this post in a search for where to post my article.
Sure Linda, Go for it! Make sure and stop by the chat room if you have any questions or need a little encouragement :).
Hi Loyalis!
I’ll definitely be following your posts throughout this challenge. I’ve drafted some lenses for the contest. So, we’ll see how it goes on my end. Fingers crossed!
Thanks for your golden tips!
