Lensmaster Clouda9 Interview


Squidoo Lens Reviews: What makes you passionate about Squidoo.com?


Clouda9: The passion I have for Squidoo really is threefold...I can create anything I want about anything I can imagine, my creative juices flow because of it, and the people here are the best I've 'met' on the Internet today!


Squidoo Lens Reviews: Squidoo perfect already or what could make it better?


Clouda9: Squidoo is just about perfect...one thing I would like to see is a better way to manage the fanclub. My thought: an alert on dashboard or via email when someone joins so I can drop them a line or visit one of their lenses!


Squidoo Lens Reviews: What inspires you to make a new lens?


Clouda9: Most of my inspirations come from life experiences. For instance, my newest lens Cowboy Candy Recipes came to life after reading an article about the top recipe clicks on Chow.com. I tried the recipe and knew I just had to share it! The added pictures of 'real' cowboy candy was a chance for me to add some humor!


Squidoo Lens Reviews: How many lenses do you have?


Clouda9: 65 and three in WIP! Wow, I did not even realize I had that many...lol!


Squidoo Lens Reviews: What is your most popular lens?


Clouda9: Right now it is my Menopause: You Need Some Laughter lens. Proud to say it was the winner for 2008 Giant Squid Awards as Best Humor Lens! Just goes to show people love to laugh...especially about life situations. Psst! Make sure to have a Depends on before heading over to read...especially if you are an over 50-something woman :) [As of this posting, Best Baked Macaroni and Cheese and Self Improvement Guides have taken the lead.]


Squidoo Lens Reviews: What one sentence or one word describes your success?


Clouda9: Enthusiastic!


Squidoo Lens Reviews: What should a newbie do first?


Squidoo Lens Reviews: I believe it is beneficial if a newbie goes into the forum at SquidU to introduce themselves and wonder around in there to see what people are up to on Squidoo.


Squidoo Lens Reviews: Which of your lenses do you want to make sure the whole world knows about?


Clouda9: My shining example of who I really am is Meet Your Girl Friday. It is so totally me...colorful, showcases what I have learned about design, and has evolved into a new blog, Your Girl Friday! I feel that this lens and the blog are going to be the start of something wonderful for me personally! Thank you Squidoo and to each and everyone of you!

  5. The high point of the interview for me was the advice to new lensmasters to wander around and see what everyone was up to. The Squidoo search opened my eyes to a world of amazement, as well as dropped me off on some really useful sites.

    Thanks.

  8. Well, welcome back to your interview, Correen! I probably should re-categorize these interviews. I think there was a good bit of them produced over time.
