How Do the Rest of Them Do it?


The bark park group had a meeting tonight, where they are asking for my help cleaning up that HUGE PLACE. I've been a little preoccupied with my business and my squidoo lenses, and honestly don't/can't spare the time.

However, there is ONE person at the group who has been a BIG FAN of my David lens since the day I published it. She knows that the lens is up for the Lens of the Year, and she thinks it should be.

She visits it often, has emailed it to her sister and friends and to all her email list, and, while they may or may not build squidoo pages yet, they have commented very positively about it.

She mentioned around that perhaps the group would like to help me!

So they were voting at one table, while the rest of us were at other tables having dinner and talking.

All of a sudden, though, they couldn't sign up anymore.

In a way I'm glad. There's been so much gaming of everything that one can go into despair. On the other hand, I have about 600 lensmasters in my groups that I work hard to help, and I've emailed everyone I know, and barely got 40 something votes!

Well, I have promises. I have those who promise to go home and vote for me from their computers there. Is it enough? I doubt it. If I don't do certain non-urgent (to me) things when they're right in my face, I'm liable to put them aside and forget about it until MUCH later.

If you're not a true gamer, you get stopped. If you are, nobody can stop you!

I still have a list of 600 people that want my help, and will want it in the future. How is it that the last I checked, with over 109,000 lenses, we have probably less than 200 total votes?

The winning lens will be the VERY PUBLIC FACE of Squidoo for an entire year. YOUR reputation as well as mine, and Seth's and everyone's, will be affected by which lens takes the day.

Well, good luck to everyone. Let the best lens win!
