Who Am I?

Hi, my name is Charles Lau. I do Internet reviews in my blog, and this is my 19th video review.

Introduction

Another interesting challenge is coming up when for the first time I have been asked to do a review on someone who is using Squidoo. Squidoo has been a great place for anyone of us who are not sure how to do our own website. And we have Roshawn Hall here in the review who is using Squidoo to be his identity exposure. It makes me wonder why Roshawn Hall is not having his own dot com for his own presence. But to think of his brand position, he is actually leveraging his traffic from Squidoo network and his own marketing effort such as this review we are going through today.

Come to think of it. Many of us are not taking advantage of the free service from Squidoo for our free exposure to the Internet world. Furthermore, we can also make money by hosting our information with Squidoo!

The Video Review

Publishing On Squidoo

By publishing one page of information of what we can offer, this is what Squidoo called it as a “Lens”. Having to be with Squidoo, you practically have every article being linked from other Squidoo pages’ PR juice. Instantly, you are going to be exposed from Squidoo traffic, as well as the search engine traffic. And with your other marketing tactics, you are going to enjoy great exposure for your Internet business!

Don’t you think that Squidoo seems to be able to position every page as though they are the main page for exposure? Every article being written on Squidoo seems to be of high importance. But that’s only if you do it well with the Squidoo platform.

Roshawn Positioning His Squidoo Pages

He has a few lens on Squidoo to share with his traffic. And they are all inter-linked. When I glanced through the lens, I actually learn something more about affiliate marketing. It makes me think that there is so much more to do with squidoo than just a lens. Roshawn has positioned all his information on Squidoo which I believe could be his initial marketing tactic to make his first exposure since September 2007. I suspect that his subsequent step will be his own domain name which could be Roshawn Hall dot Com or something else. Most of us tend to have our exposure from our own website which we have to struggle for more traffic exposure…

About Roshawn’s Contents

He has nicely dissected Affiliate Marketing into different areas which I define them as:

1) Beginning affiliate marketing: This is what Roshawn called it as Red-Light Green Affiliate Marketing. This is basically a quick start tip to get yourself warm up for affiliate marketing business.

2) Places where Affiliate Marketers must Go!: This is what Roshawn called it as The Affiliate Knockout List. This is the place where we get to know all the list of submitting to directories for articles, press release, social bookmarking and blog.
3) Make Your Affiliate Website A Niche.: This is what Roshawn called it as KingMe Affiliate Marketing. This is the place where we have to make a king out of ourselves. There must be a niche or a reason why we are visiting this site frequently!

4) Affiliate Marketers Pulling Through The Difficult Times: This is what Roshawn called it as Affiliate Marketing Cheat Codes. I don’t understand why he called it a cheat sheet. But this is definitely a must to read for affiliates who are doing badly or even to quit!

5) Money-Making Tips For Affiliates: This is what Roshawn called it as The Affiliate Bankers List. This is yet another list which we cannot miss! This is like a good tips and tricks for us to look into to tap into some of the untouched areas of marketing which can increase traffic or revenue!

6) Introducing To The Author, Roshawn Hall!: Roshawn admitted that he is the The Wittiest InternetMarketer Ever! This is the place to tell everybody why we should listen to him! Good job, Roshawn Hall!

Why Are You Not Using Domain Name for Your Website?

This question keeps popping up in my mind as I was doing a review. Although it might be a good idea to leverage on the traffic from Squidoo, the overall branding should go back to the actual domain name. That’s my thought only of course. I even thought he could actually do hand-in-hand with his own dot com website to create a bigger exposure. But of course, there might be a chance that he will move into this area at a later stage… Anyway, he’s been working on Squidoo since September… So time will tell…

Conclusion

I must admit that he has written great articles inside. And I would look forward to him writing his own blog and be his first RSS subscriber. He has great thoughts and writes from a big picture in his mind. Great stuff in his lens. Again, I wonder when he’s going to start his website.

Simply by looking at his contents and his leverage on squidoo, I can see how far-sighted he can be. Why? Because he is already making money even though he hasn’t spent probably even a single cent! The most he could have spent is his time to work out all the materials to bring in the money! Also, just look at his contents too! You can understand how much he already knows about affiliate marketing which every single one of us has to go through at our beginning stage of affiliate marketing.
