What’s a Quest? And Why You Should Take One

questIf you’re new to Squidoo, you might be wondering about our Quests.

SquidQuests are a fun way for you to learn how to increase your lensmaking skill, find helpful tips, stretch your lensmaking imagination and see some of the great lenses created by other lensmasters all while earning points that will help you level up and gain some neat perks for your lenses.

You’ll see all of the Quests offered to you each day by visiting the “Quests” tab located at the top of your dashboard.  There are several different types of Quests that we send which include quests that ask you to build a new lens about a specific topic, quests that ask you to go read something we think you’ll find interesting and quests that ask you to go find a lens you love that was created by another lensmaster.   Instructions are provided after clicking each Quest link.

You’ll find the perks you receive for leveling up by visiting the “Items” tab also located at the top of your dashboard.  These include things like special themes for your lenses, additional modules, and as you move up you’ll even find  a Turbo Boost (or two) for one of your best lenses.

You’re never obligated to take a quest but we encourage you to take as many as you can because each quest is a new adventure and you never know what you’re going to learn until you give it a try.

There’s more information about our Quests HERE and you’ll find some helpful tips for taking Quests HERE.

    I highly recommend newcomers to complete quests. They are a good way to be motivated, to learn or improve lens creation and it is a great way to get discovered (many quests lead to blessings, purple star or even lotd).

    • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/rms rms

      Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated.

    • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/Jogalog Jogalog

      I’d second that. My lens that got featured as lotd was created as part of a quest.

    I’m a huge fan of quests. Now, I don’t do all of them but they were great learning tools for me to practice different things and I wrote lenses that I never expected. Some even won Purple Stars. All in all, I find them valuable.

    Muy bueno, soy nueva en Squidoo he hecho 2 lentes pero todavía no han podido ser publicados porque según Squidoo le falta más contenido aunque he visto otros lentes que no son tan extensos no sé en que va pero bueno jejeje intentaré completarlos a ver si tengo suerte para que se publiquen porque por ahora por lo que entendí estan guardados, saludos, muy buena la página.
