Ok, folks after working my piratey butt off for the past few days I was able to finish updating my RSS feed generators for eBay. Here’s a few things I learned the hard way.
1. eBay’s reporting is still slow.
2. when eBay (or my generator or whatever) asks for your ‘Campaign ID’ , that is the [...]
No, this isn’t an April Fool’s Joke. Ebay has officially made the split from Commission Junction to become it’s own stand alone affiliate program.
For the month of April, all the links for both Commission Junction and eBay will be live. All the links you have switched over to the new ebay program will earn an [...]
Socialthing! just went into Private Beta this morning.
Socialthing is a site which will take your Digg, Twitter, Facebook, Pownce, Del.icio.us, YouTube, Flickr, Last.fm, LiveJournal and Vimeo profiles and combine the activity on your profile and your friends profiles into a ‘lifestream’.
The Lifestreaming concept is still very new and a lot of companies are trying to [...]
Some fun new developments this week.
BDKZ has started a blog devoted to Hey! Monkeybrain called Cowabunga!. I think it’s a great and original concept that allows blogging about hot issues (Like Pirates Vs. Ninjas) while incorporating Squidoo at the same time. Very fun and very cool. Great job BDKZ ! (Psst… Ive got a few [...]
The Captain has been slaving over a hot computer monitor all weekend getting a new treat ready for you all. There is now a separate part of the Captain Squid site where I’ve compiled resources, tools, and other nifty stuff to help you guys make more money as quickly as possible. The ‘Tools’ section and [...]
Squidoo HQ has been a busy group of guys and gals the past couple of months, releasing what they call ‘co-brands’ or ‘front doors’ to Squidoo. These doorways offer some different formatting as well as some auto-magical lens building abilities that can get you started on your lens.
The Co-Brands are nice, but what if you [...]
I’m constantly amazed at the people I find on forums that are still stuck in last summer and convinced that Squidoo is worthless as a tool for promotion or for making money. Their loss, my gain I suppose..
However, there are some common lensbuilding and squidoo techniques that many people use that are just plain wrong. [...]
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up and a reminder: If you haven’t remodeled your Primary Tags, Do It!
Fluffanutta has written an exceptional article on Primary Tagging as a forum post. I’m going to repost it here after offering a few of my thoughts on Primary Tagging.
1) If your lens is about polka dotted [...]
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 [...]
Ok, the new Squidcasts are pretty awesome. Let’s talk about why for a minute.
You can now communicate directly to your visitors with little thoughts and tidbits. This is awesome.
You can announce new events or updates across the squidoo universe (well, YOUR squidoo universe)
This is good. Really good.
But how do you promote your squidcasts to [...]
