Make Money with Squidoo's Changed Policy
I like many of you suffered a substantial loss when Squidoo changed their policy last year and a significant number of my lenses (articles) were locked...I am determined more than ever to adapt rather than abort...Because even though I was hit hard by the changed policy, I see Squidoo as an essential part of my make money online plan...
