From Idea Theft to Squidoo lenses to a Site Launch and more!

It’s been a busy, busy, busy couple of days here at the TinaMc Writing Emporium.

Remember my post on how to prevent idea theft? Uh…yeah…the irony….I was a victim of such an occurrence just in the past week. (I became aware of it yesterday). But you know, there’s so much more to that story, that I plan on hashing that out in a whole ‘nother post.

Then there was also my post on testimonials. About needing testimonials. Oh, the drama that has surrounded the testimonial situation. Again, for perhaps a series of posts…detailing the drama and also posting some tips on how to handle the situation if you are ever so lucky to be either 1) asked to provide a testimonial or 2) in the position of needing a testimonial.

I also created my first lenses on Squidoo and now have a full on love/hate relationship going on with that site, how lenses are built and whatnot. If you’re a Squidoo expert, by all means, I could use your comments, suggestions and maybe just a smack upside the head because I am sure I’m making it harder than it really is.

If you’re interested, my three lenses are about (and they’re clickable!):

- How to Become a Work-At-Home Real Estate Agent

Working Your Real Estate Business

- Marketing Strategy for the Work-At-Home Mom Real Estate Agent

Actually, I will just come on out and beg you to take a look. Because my lenses are lonely and need visits. They are hungry for some eyeballs to give ‘em a look. Maybe you can even rate them…pretty please???

The high point of yesterday (other than actually being able to crank out three Squidoo lenses while “camping out” in my office …aka bed with my laptop in my lap…and watching movie after movie with my munchkin- YAY!) was the launch of my new site – The WAHM Agent. I finally have my ebooks available for sale!!! I am so excited I could spit! I put a lot of work into these babies and to have them available to the public is just an awesome feeling.

But again…so much going on…and each of these subjects deserve their own posts. And so they shall have their own posts. Because I’m a giver like that.

    I just took a look at your lens and do have a few comments you may be interested in. Now, I am no SquidGiant but I do have several Squidoo lens.

    I would highly recommend you remove the “Explore related pages”, as this puts links right in front of people to click away from your lens and go to another.

    Your lens look nice!

    Your welcome. I disabled that as soon as Squidoo started offering it. AS I want people to stay on my lens as long as possible.

    I too have been working a few new lens, actually have spent a few hours today working on a new one that is going to be pretty big.
