How to Promote your Zazzle Store on Squidoo!

Another lens from the fine folks at Zazzle Dazzlers. No matter if you are a seasoned lensmaster or you are looking to start your first lens, we hope to provide you with imformation that you will find valueable. On this lens we will show you how to start a lens to promote your Zazzle store. We also are encouraging experienced lensmasters to add their input on how to make a lens successful. We have added a module for lensmasters to share their Tips & Tricks for lens building. We have also added a module for anyone with a Zazzle lens that accepts Zazzle store owners to add their links.

Squidoo Lenses That Accept Zazzle store...

(1) CLICK HERE to get started. The first page you see will be: What's your lens about: This is the title of your lens. It is in orange at the top of this page. This is a very important part. Your title should reflect your stores title plus many people like to get a keyword or two in there. For instanst if your store specializes in Vintage Prints or Orginal Artwork etc.

(2) What's your goal for your page: This will add some of the modules for you if you wish but I find it easyer to choose the last one (Let me do my own thing)

(3) Create a Title and URL: The title is the same as you choose in step 1, if you are not happy with it you can always change it here or in your workshop later. As far as the URL goes many people believe a URL with underscores between keywords if the best. Such as Sals_Vintage_Prints is better than salsvintageprints. If this is true or not I am not sure but it couldn't hurt. You can not change the URL later.

(4) Tag your page: This is where you may add your first 3 keywords after your title. You can, and should add more later in the right hand column of your workshop. More on that later.

Note: If this is your very first lens there is two more steps. Step 5 to choose if you want the money earned from your lenses or want to donate to chairity. Step 6 is where you choose your username password etc.

Your Workshop

Now the fun begins! This is where you create your fantastic lens.

Themes: This is where you can choose how you want your lens to look. Squidoo now offers several different styles of themes. You may not see what it looks like until you publish it. If you don't like it just edit your lens again and change your theme.

My Bio: This is where you can tell people a little about yourself, your stores, or even you dog or cat. You can also add links to all your stores, blog, or websites here.

My Photo: This is where you can add your avatar photo. This will appear anywhere you leave a comment. Plus will show on all your lenses with a link to your bio.

Add Modules: Here is the important part. This is how you build your lenses. There are several modules to choose from. The most important are the text modules, you will use these more than anything else. This is a text module that you see this text in and also the picture. The Zazzle module is also an important one, you may add products from your store without hardly any effort at all. You may add as many of the same modules as you want, So if you want to highlight different parts of your store it is very easy to do with several different Zazzle modules. A great way to get traffic to your store and have people rate your lens is to add a Links Voting (Plexo) module. This way other Zazzle store owners will visit your lens and add their store link and hopefully rank, fav, and lensroll your lens. Throw in a Guestbook module and you have a great start to your lens.

Reorder Modules: Here you may drap and drop your modules to reorder them so they show in the order you desire.

Tags: Another very important part. This is where you add your tags or keywords. Add as many as you can think of. It is what the Squidoo search engine will look for.

Export: Backup for your lens.

Royality Settings: Where you money will go.

Lensroll: Lenses that you have lenrolled to your lens.

Love This Lens Widget: One of the (many) secrets of getting a good Lensrank is the star ratings that other Lensmasters can give to your lens.
