About AJ Godinho

I joined Wizzley on June 7, 2011 and spent a couple of hours playing around and understanding its functionality. At first glance, I must admit that I'm impressed with the simplicity and felxibility of this online article writing platform. I can see myself using this platform on a long-term basis to write articles that hopefully people find useful.

The reason I decided to create this first web page about me, is to introduce myself so people know the person behind the articles. I like to be as transparent as possible -- can you see through me yet? :)

By profession, I'm a Human Resources professional who has spent over 15 in the corporate world in the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E) and in Canada. I actively trade in the stock markets and am involved in enterpreneurial ventures as well. I have many passions, but two of them that stand out are healthy living and philanthropy.

I like writing and have written several articles and web pages on various topics on platforms like Squidoo and EzineArticles as well as maintain a few blogs. I find writing to be very relaxing and it's a great way to make some extra online income, especially when writing on revenue-sharing platforms like Squidoo and Wizzley. Also, you can benefit by incorporating affiliate programs on these article writing websites.

Some look at Wizzley as a competitor to Squidoo because they are both free, revenue-sharing writing sites that provide interested writers a platform to create unique web pages on various topics. Though, they may appear to be competitors, I believe you can use them both to complement one another, if you write on both platforms.

Given that Wizzley was launched just recently, it will have to work towards establishing a high Google's Page Rank and start building traffic. However, the fact that it was launched post Google Panda implementation and has attracted many top and quality writers, I have no doubt that the only way for Wizzley to move is, up.

Add to the fact that some Wizzley founders are successful, respected and long-time Squidoo lensmasters, they bring credibility to this writing site.

I decided to join Wizzley for the above mentioned reasons, as well as because I know a lot of Squidoo lensmasters here and I can leverage from both platforms, Squidoo and Wizzley by diversifying my online ventures. Another important aspect of Wizzley is its community of writers.

Wizzley article writer, wrylilt, has written an interesting article comparing Wizzley with Squidoo and Hubpages which covers various aspects of the three platforms.

As mentioned earlier, I create Squidoo lenses (web pages) on various topics. I joined Squidoo in March 2009 and have published lenses on topics like healthy living, philanthropy / charity, resources for Canadians, inspirtational / spiritual, video communication tools, technology, sports, nature, and several how-to lenses. Below you will find a sampling of my Squidoo lenses:

I like music and enjoy a wide range of genres, however, my favourite genres and music styles are smooth Jazz, Christian music and instrumental. Below are some of my music Squidoo lenses:

I'm excited about being part of the Wizzley community and writing original and unique content. I'm looking forward to interacting with many of Wizzley members and checking out their work. If you are not a member of Wizzley, feel free to learn more and join in. Thanks for dropping by!
