Squidoo is a place you can share your expertise on a topic with the rest of the world. It’s a cross between Wikipedia and a blog and it’s perfect for Scanners. Write a “lens” on your latest passion and then you can link to your own website to create traffic.

Scanners Night regular Rosemary has written a lens on “Earning money when you have a Scanner personality”. Have a read.

Squidoo was created by marketing brainiac Seth Godin. If you’re feeling entrepreneurial, have a read of his blog. I love it.
