For the last two years, volunteer lensmasters called Citizen Squids have been testing and promoting new features, and teaching fellow users how to make the most of Squidoo.  This past summer, the Citizen Squids morphed into the Citizen Mentors, a group of users who are each dedicated to helping you master one aspect of Squidoo.

We have:

Margaret_Schaut, First Lens Mentor, teaching you how to create your first lens on Squidoo and get started using all the basic features.

jeffwend, Promotion Mentor, showing you how to spread the word about your lenses with dozens of possible social tools.

Barkely (Linette), Groups Mentor, with great ideas for creating, promoting, and using groups to build your niche on Squidoo.

RMS (Robin), Giant Squid Mentor, teaching lensmasters how to become and make the most of being a Giant Squid.

boredofeducation (Damon), Module Mentor, showing off tips and tricks for using all the fun modules we have on Squidoo.

Have you ever wondered how YOU can become a Citizen Mentor and show off your love and knowledge of Squidoo? Here’s your opportunity! We’re looking for five dedicated lensmasters to give 1-2 hours of their expertise each week to share one-on-one knowledge with others.

* HTML Mentor, to help lensmasters master the HTML and CSS tricks they can use to jazz up modules
* Image and Video Mentor, to share ideas for displaying images and adding great videos to lenses
* Module Mentor, to take over Damon’s awesome lens on using all the modules Squidoo has to offer
* Charity Outreach Mentor, to help our newly added charities create great lenses and become active on Squidoo
* Lensmaster Donors Mentor, to help lensmasters create great lenses for charity and promote the use of lensmaking off Squidoo

Our Mentors have worked hard to make help on Squidoo an interactive process. If you’d like to become part of the next wave of mentoring on Squidoo, apply today!
