Squidoo Blog by Captain Squid - Tips and Tricks for Lensmasters

Looking for a way to Buy and Sell Squidoo Lenses?

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!

I’m happy to announce the official top-down remodeling of Sell My Lens. I originally designed this site over 8 months ago, but it was wayyyy to early, Squidoo wasn’t ready. But now, there’s been a lot of renewed interest in buying and selling lenses, and I’ve spent all weekend and a good chunk of last week remodeling the site.

How it works -

Very similar to eBay, you can place listings for sale, offer Squidoo related services via Classifieds, or buy lenses from other lensmasters. Fixed Price, Buy it Now, and different auction lengths are all supported.

I’ve also got Paypal integration and Google Checkout should be coming soon.

Listing Lenses on the auction house is 100% free. There are some fees for Classifieds and listing Upgrades (bold, featured, etc.) as well as a 2% final value fee (which is less than a third of what eBay charges last I checked..).

I’m planning on starting an Adwords campaign to drive traffic to the site, so get your lenses up quick!

Special for Captain Squid Readers -

If you haven’t signed up for my Newsletter yet, go over to Sell My Lens and sign up from there. I’ll deposit $5 in fee credit in your account to play around with.

If you already HAVE signed up for my email, contact me and let me know your login to Sell My Lens. I’ll give you $5 for free also!

Questions? Let me know. Also let me know what you think of the site design.

Thanks for the good work
reading your first work two
faults had shown up. small
things, easy to fix, no big
stuff just small catches. No
real distraction from the idea
you were presenting. H-Jack
is my by name and dean tura is the
the real one. Fun getting a new
name, Glad to see you live in
Denver, the place my family got l
life under way for me. Great
city. Your work is needed as
the help inside Squidoo is
good yet directed at programmers
and top web users. Binging the
story down to the average Joe
that is a real trick, so very
best of luck and until next
time. O yes what is mail have
no understanding of what
is needed for that box.
Just to new. From H-Jack
