Giant Squids gain a lot of benefits by becoming such. Do we have any here at MMG?
This lens has some excellent information so that Squids can see what they must do if they want to get to the `giant` level. It`s written by someone with a vast amount of experience working with Squidoo - Megan Casey.
Megan is a founding member and the Editor in Chief of Squidoo.
THE GIANT SQUIDS (and how you can become one)
Here are just a few of the points it mentions-
The number part is easy enough. 50 lenses. Anyone can count to 50.
1. Access to our (secret) Giant Squids blog and RSS feed, full of first-looks at new features and insider tips.
2. A private email address to reach us about Lens of the Day submissions.
3. A Giant Squid badge on all your lenses. (And your bio/profile page too).
4. Gold stars on all your published, featured lenses. Gold stars not only look nifty to your readers, they also give you a little LensRank boost.
What Giants give in return
Mainly, inspiration.
Besides creating fantastic lenses for the Squidoo community and the world?
Giant Squids give inspiration to other lensmasters.
They give searchers coming from all over the web comprehensive signpost pages for learning something new, or finding what they were looking for, or meeting someone with a similar interest.
They are honest, respectful leaders and lensmasters in the community--both on and off Squidoo.
