10 reasons why you MUST start a Squidoo page

[temi]

Guys,
Those of you who have not started a Squidoo page, here are 10 reason you MUST start one.

• Its actually fun to choose a topic and build a page around it
• I started a few Squidoo pages to get backlink for my sites, its worked fantastically well. Your Squidoo pages actually benefit from the high ranking squidoo.com enjoys.
• Some people get money from it, squidoo actually share advert proceeds with you.
• You get to build backlinks easily from your squidoo pages
• You become a member of a group dedicated to helping promote one another's pages/sites.
• There are over 250,000 published lenses (almost as many again either unpublished or needing work to get published.
• It's a fantastic example of Social Networking as well as Internet Marketing combined, so if Web 2.0 has left you behind here's your chance to get back in the race.
• You can place your own affiliate links on the page (html only) or use one of the hundreds pre-built if you wish to share revenue with squidoo (approx 50%).
• Lenses appear on google searches within days, if not hours from being published. I know people that have achieved #1 on google for niche search terms in 48hours!.
• Monthly Paypal payout with only a $1 minimum payout! (though you can set the threshold to your preferences) I do know lensmasters that are earning a fulltime income from squidoo, though they are very dedicated and have hundreds of lenses.
• Just pick a subject, there will be a category it fits in, the only exceptions are promoting gambling isn't allowed, x-rated subjects are, though you have to make sure it is categorised as such.
• They have a very responsive tech team and listen to the members needs (the tech team have been flat out for the last 2 weeks due to a server migration that picked up a lot of bugs, mainly sorted now, but a lot of clearing up is still to be done)

Ive been trying too and for some reason its not showing i have any lenes, is there any thing extra i have to do or does it just take a while for them to recognise ive got one ?

[temi]

Yes, I have been trying to make your lens a favorite, could not do that either, it must be because its still very new, give it a day or two.
