The newest deadline to become a Giant Squid is September 30, 2009. Teams have been created by Giant Squid Greeters to help potential Giants to reach their goals. Joining one of these groups is not required but it is extremely helpful for any lensmaster wanting to reach the status of Giant.

What is a Giant Squid? Well, it is a lensmaster who has created 50 quality lenses on Squidoo. Quality is the keyword. Once submitted your lenses are read to see if they meet the standards to be a Giant.

If you are contemplating trying for Giant by this next deadline, please consider joining the team that I am on for this round. I'm already a Giant Squid and am going for the Giant 100 status this time around. I joined Team One lead by Mimi (GrowWear) and it promises to be a fantastic team. Mimi is offering a personal coach for those potential Giants that feel that they may need to help. I've volunteered to coach a small group of our team members.

The deadline to join is August 1, 2009. Just visit the Team One page and sign up in the comment box to join. There is a special area that you will be able to visit for encouragement, coaching, inspiration, and well just some great fun!
