As I didn't achieve Giant Squid status in March I'm now working on getting there at the end of June instead. This means more work with promotion and editing to get the worst lenses I have up to scratch. I've also got myself a Squid Mentor ;)

I'm thinking seriously of writing down a promotion plan. A step by step guide that I can follow to ensure that I don't miss out anything. For example, when I publish a new lens I already have a number of directories that I submit it to right off the bat. However once I've completed that, I seem to not bother doing much else for some time after. You can imagine what that does for the lens ranking and traffic.

So, I need to create a list of all the best sites to submit to and the best things I could be doing to help promote my lenses.

This way, I can be sure that I have done everything in my power to drive traffic to my newest and oldest lenses.

I've also got a new blog at Squidosphere. It's called Giant Squid Invasion and it will document everything that I do and will be doing to achieve Giant Squid status. What will happen to the blog after I've managed to achieve that I don't yet know, but I'm sure I won't be deleting it :)

You can check it out here: Giant Squid Invasion

Please be aware that there is nothing there at this time. I shall be publishing my first post later on today.
