Introducing The New Giant Squid Club

Some big changes are coming to Giant Squid Club on Squidoo. Squidoo recently sent an email to all who sent an application to join Giant Squid Club and introduce the new changes in the program and new minimums for joining the program.

In this post I want to present these new changes and new standards for new Giant Squids.

The 3 things you need to know:

1. Squidoo is asking all those who recently sent an application to join the Giant Squid Club to fill out a new application form. Anyone who doesn't apply here won't be considered for the Giant Squid Club.

Here is the application to fill out: https://squidoo.wufoo.com/forms/join-the-giant-squid-club/

2. You only have to have 25 lenses, not 50, in order to apply! But wait. That does mean it's easier to get in. In fact, Squidoo have even higher standards of quality for those 25 lenses. They also need to be published, featured (not Work in Progress), and so good you want to share them with the others.

Let's say you have 54 published & featured lenses, but maybe you rushed a bit to get them done by the June 30 Giant Squid deadline. Maybe they're not all quite as good as you'd like. You caught a break! If you have at least 25 that are insanely great, then you're ready to apply.

On the other hand, if you've been working since March and have 115 superstar lenses, then you can apply for 'Giant 100' right away and get the perks for that level if you're approved.

3. There are no more deadlines. You can apply whenever you are ready, whenever you are certain your lenses are really strong. So take your time, no rushing, no all-nighters. Just good solid lenscrafting.
