Web publishing: one Squidoo account or many?

without comments

If you’re a Sell Your Writing Online NOW (SYWON) subscriber, you know that I recommend that you get comfortable with Squidoo, and use it in your writing campaigns.

I don’t use Squidoo as much as I should, and that’s only because I don’t have enough time; I always seem to be working on one of my sites, or creating a new product.

One of the debating points in the Squidoo community is: should you have one account, or many?

I’m in the one account camp, chiefly because I don’t have hundreds of lenses. If you do get around 200 or more lenses, I can see where additional accounts would make sense.

Captain Squid, in “When Are Multiple Squidoo Accounts Useful?” says:

…you are seriously diluting a lot of the power you can get from having a unified account.

From the dashboard, lens labels are spectacular for handling different sections of lenses or groups. I have labels for both verticals or themes as well as by aff. network or marketing strategy. Multiple accounts make tracking this stuff a total pain.

I agree. Unless you spend all your time in Squidoo, there’s no point in having more than one account. However, to each his/ her own. It may work for you.

I’ve got several hundred sites and I know writers who have 1000 sites. This perhaps seems incredible. If you’re a new writer, or you’re not used to Web writing, you’re thinking “why would anybody want that many sites”?
