Hi. I am a volunteer for our local ferret shelter, Ferrets Unlimited in Cleveland, OH. I get a lot of email from people looking for help promoting their shelter or rescue organization, so I thought I would share one of the easiest tools that I have been using recently. It's called Squidoo, and it's a place where people can create one-page sites on a topic of their choice. One may also designate a charity to receive the proceeds or they may choose to just take cash. I'm quite addicted to the service, so I have created over a dozen lenses and groups and each one benefits Ferrets Unlimited. I also created a shelter lens, to give a basic overview of the shelter and I got to thinking that this might be great for all those other shelters that just don't have the time, skills, or the money to create their own site. You can use a lens to pull your adoptable ferrets from petfinder, show off your products on Amazon, eBay, or Cafepress, or just give out contact information. Take a look at the lens I created as an example: http://www.squidoo.com/FerretsUnlimited/news We also have a charity headquarters on Squidoo and we are hosting a fun little contest where you can win fun prizes for you and your ferrets. Prizes include a gift certificate from The Ferret Store, subscriptions to Ferrets Magazine, a fun goodies box of toys and treats, and a Flickr Pro account. The details are posted on the shelter headquarters at: http://www.squidoo.com/FerretsUnlimited/hq Come visit and even if you are not a shelter, you might want to make a lens to show off your ferrets, promote your business, or whatever. If you create your lens from the Ferrets Unlimited Headquarters, it enters you in the contest, and benefits the shelter. I would be happy to answer questions from any shelter that needs help.
