Squidoo Lens Contest!
« Thread Started on Dec 3, 2008, 10:03pm »
Ok, I've heard about Squidoo Lenses before, but until recently I really had no idea what they were. I always *meant* to check out squidoo.com, but it was just one of those things that I never seemed to make time for.

Fast forward to Nov. 29th: Brenda from Brenda's Visual Memories decided to make a lens on Squidoo.com and advertise it here in the forums:

http://atomicmall.proboards50.com/index.....033&page=1#8936

Needless to say I was extremely impressed, and the positive comments left by users made it just that much better. I started thinking it would be a great tie-in for a contest! So here we go....

Announcing:

Atomic Mall's 1st (annual?) Squidoo Lens competition!

[image]

Rules:


  • Competition is open to all currently registered Sellers @ Atomic Mall, except friends, family and employees of Atomic Mall.
  • All entries must be submitted in this thread before 12/31/08.
  • Lens must be centrally themed around your Storefront @ Atomic Mall, and must contain a link to your storefront page and/or the AtomicMall.com home page.
  • One entry per member. Multiple account holders may only enter once.
  • All entries will be judged and voted on by registered community forum members between January 1 and January 10, 2009. Each judge may use whatever criteria they deem appropriate, whether it be visual appeal, writing style, overall content, creativity, etc. You'll simply be choosing based on which lenses "stand out" to you, even if it's just because "they're way cool man". ;)
  • You MAY vote on your own lens, but only one vote per IP address please. We will be monitoring IP addresses, so no cheating!
  • Ties will be decided by coin-toss. Leah (soccerfreak) will be the designated coin-tosser.
  • We reserve the right to modify or add to these rules during the contest if deemed necessary to maintain contest integrity.


Now the good part: Prizes!

The top 3 finishers will be awarded these prizes:

1st place: A $200 AtomicPass Gift Certificate to use at any and all Atomic Mall store(s). Buy anything you want from any AM merchant(s) up to $200 combined total, and we'll pay the bill.

2nd place: An instant $50 account credit. This credit can be applied to listing upgrades, image inserts or final sale fees. It's just like money, honey!

3rd place: A free month of selling @ Atomic Mall. That's right: no final sale fees for an entire month, between Jan 11 and Feb 11, 2009. Depending on how much you sell, this might even be better than the first place prize!

So there you go kids, let's get the party started!! I want to see some killer Squidoo lenses. Be creative, and be VERBOSE! Remember, content rules.

;D

What a terrific idea, Mike! I, too, have a "suspense" item to create one or more Squidoo lenses. As you did, however, I have pushed it to the bottom of the list more than once.

Perhaps this will be the motivation I need to get it done! You rock, Dude ;D

Yeah! Sounds like fun. Now the big question. Can I submit the one I already did or do I need to do a new one for the contest? hmmm, must get some creative thought going in my little brain...

You can use that one, modify it or make a new one. Whichever url you submit will be the one entered.

Good luck!

Squidoo Lens are a good way to promote your store & the places you sell! Swims has had a Squidoo Lens for several months now & I have added Bonanzle info & banner to my lens. It is not centrally focused on Bonanzle per se, so I guess I don`t qualify for the contest, but if you go to my lens you will see Bonanzle info there! Does that count?

Keep up the good work people! Bonanzle Rocks!

Cheers! Swims


WHAT??? You do realize this is Atomic Mall and NOT bon. right?

Hey all:

OK - I did a lens for AtomicMall.com! And....here it is:

http://www.squidoo.com/AtomicMall

I have featured a variety of stores and will try to update each weekend. I just picked some at random so will do that each weekend.

I'd love some votes and some comments - both of which help get the lens noticed, which in turn will get AM noticed.

I also have a couple other lenses:

http://www.squidoo.com/2boysandtoysonline

and

http://www.squidoo.com/2boysandtoys

If you want to do a lens, it's not hard at all. The best way to get it noticed and drive traffic is to make sure it's easy to read, full of topic-rich words and key words and then also promote it - just like you would a blog or a store.

I'll happily help anybody that asks - you can either ask here or you can PM me.

I'll add a link section for any other lens for AM sellers - just shout out when you have one and I'll include it! I'll stop back by and get the few that are above this post! ;D ;D
