What Can You Do With Squidoo?

So you got a Squidoo account, now what?

Congratulations! You are the newest member of Squidoo. You have edited your profile, uploaded your picture and now you are faced with the task of creating your first lens. Or maybe you've already made a couple of lenses and now you can't think of any other topics to write about. That's where this lens comes in.

In this lens, I'm not going to tell you how to build a lens, there are already dozens of good lenses out there that explain all that. It is the goal of this lens to help you find an endless wealth of topics with which you can write about. Together, you and I shall brainstorm and toss around ideas to help you get your creative juices flowing.

This lens was created on August 22, 2007.
Last Updated on July 18, 2008.

I don't expect to ever totally finish this lens either. Why? Because there is a never ending supply of ideas in the world, and each of them equals a topic for you to build a lens about, and I'm going to use this lens as a giant net in which to capture all of those stray ideas so that you can find them here, and use them to create a few stunning (and hopefully money making) lenses of your own. Cool huh? So let's get going.

First off, if you are new to Squidoo, than you may still be confused about what a lens is or why you should build one, so the first thing we shall do is turn the time over to Wikipedia for a little bit and let Wiki explain what Squidoo is and how it works. When Wiki is finished explaining this to you, I shall return and get some brainstorming started. O.K?

Okay. Let's go ask Wiki....

Just exactly what is Squidoo anyways?

Squidoo is a community website that allows users to create pages (called lenses) for subjects of interest. Squidoo is in the top 500 most visited sites in the world, and in the top 300 most viewed in the United States.Squidoo.com traffic details Alexa.com. Squidoo grew 91% in 2008, and had 900,000 handbuilt lenses as of February 1st, 2009.

Why Should YOU Read This Lens?

If you are new to Squidoo.
If you need a new idea for what to build you next lens about.
If you just want to see what others are doing with Squidoo.

Lens Idea #1: Famous People Profile Lenses

I think this is probably one of the most used ideas. Everybody wants to talk about their favorite super-star. From movie actors to TV show actors to singers or dancers, to authors and artists and all those in between.

Who is your favorite person? What did they do? Why did they do it? What is it about them that made you love them so? Why should everyone else like them too?

I've heard a few lemsmasters say: "But my fave person has already been done, I can't build a lens about them, too." That's just so not true! Their lens may focus on a different area of their life. It may focus only on one book or one movie or one song or one event. They may have left out an important fact that you know they should never have forgotten to talk about. It's up to you, as a fellow fan, to create yet another lens about him/her and build it bigger and better than the other lenses already built!

You can use either Squidoo or their sister site SquidWho for this one.

Keith Laumer

A lens about my favorite author and quiet possibly the greatest science fiction writer of all time.

Idea #2. Fictional Character Profiles.

Hey, why stick with just real people when there is a whole world full of fictional characters in need of you to build them a personal profile? These can be more fun to create than lenses about real people.

You can use either Squidoo or their sister site SquidWho for this one.

Sample Fictional Character Profile Lenses

NegaDuck

Disney's evilest villain ever, the money-hungry, power-crazed, chainsaw-toting psychopath: NegaDuck!

The Daleks

Idea #3: The Best __ Ever is !

These types of lenses pick a single item (such as a song, movie, book, TV show, etc) and do nothing but talk about how great it is. These are very easy to build, because you already picked it as your favorite ______, so now you just have to tell people why it is the best!

UPDATE: Since I first wrote this, Squidoo has since added a feature that allows to create such a lens via a template. See info on the "Ever" feature farther down this lens.

Sample "Best Ever" Lenses

Doctor Who

The Doctor is a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey from the BBC TV series. The 1963 series has 26 seasons,the 2005 series will have four in 2008 and the eighth doctor was featured in a TV Movie in 1996. -Note this is a fan made profile it...

What's on My Bookshelf?

A glimpse inside one author's private book collection. Find new books you haven't read before as well as books to help you write. This lens is here to answer the question: What's on your bookshelf?

Idea #4: Top 10 Lists

Why make a Top Ten List? Why not! People love them. People actively search Google for them. Everybody wants to know what the ten best of "whatever" are, and everybody has their own ideas as to which ten should be chosen, so why not tell the world what your top ten pics are. Here are a few samples titles to get you started:

Ten Best Alice Cooper Songs.

Ten Best Vincent Price Movies.

Ten Best Places to Eat in Southern Maine.

Ten Best Movies of All Time.

Ten Best Science Fiction Books Ever Written.

Ten Best Dr. Seuss Books for Your Kids.

Ten Best Candies I Ever Ate.

Ten Best Video Games for Teens.

Ten Best Episodes of Dr. Who.

Example of a Top 10 List Lens

Idea #5. How-To Lenses

Teach others how to do something fun.

I know something you don't know!

Than why not share it with us? We'd love to know how you do it, so that we can do it too!

What is it you know how to do? Cook a great pineapple upside down cake? Press dried flowers and make hand decorated cards out of them? Build a bird house out of tin-cans? Create a super-duper rock garden? Are you a wise at html coding? Can you fix an engine? Maybe you know who to pick the best apples off the tree?

Whatever it is you are good at, I'm sure there are people out there wishing they knew how to do it too, so why not tell them what you do and how you do it?

Idea #7. Lenographies.

Are you a veteran lensbuilder with 20, 30, 40, 50, 100, or like me over 200 lenses? Than you need to build a Lensography, there just are no ifs, ands, or buts about it. You MUST have one.

What is a Lensography? It's a personal biography page that you write about yourself and your lenses. The best way to explain a Lensography, is just to look at one, so here into a few of mine, plus some by others too.

Example of a Lensography:

Idea #9. Travel Lenses

Do you live in the best place in the whole world? Than why not tell people something about it? What are the best places to eat? Where do you shop for the best bargains? What local landmarks would visitors like to see? Any interesting historical facts?

Where did you go for your family's best ever vacation? Why was it the best? What would you recommend about it to others? What would you do differently next time?

If you could visit any place in the world, where would it be and why? Why haven't you gone there yet?

There are millions of cities in the world, and hundreds of things to see in each of them, so when it comes to travel lenses, there is no end of what you could find to write about!

Now we are adults, and here we have Squidoo, the perfect place to continue the childhood debate of: My favorite animals is ___ and it is the best because ___.

What's your favorite animal?

Idea #11. The Best of the Net!

This is an easy one to build. Simply ask yourself:

What web sites do you enjoy visiting?
Why do you enjoy visiting them?
Why should other people visit them too?

Now write down your answers, add a link to the web site and viola! You have created a new lens!

Idea #12. Holidays

Huh? Holidays? How can that be a lens topic? But it's true, holidays make a great lens topic. Just think, for Halloween, you could make a lens about the history of All Hallows Eve, another lens about creating Halloween costumes for kids, a fourth lens about decorating for a Halloween party, a another lens about vampires, one about haunted house... you see how the idea of making lenses based on a holiday can just snowball?

Oh... did I say snowball? Snow = winter = Christmas? Santa Claus? Baby Jesus? Christmas trees. You great-grandma's fruit cake recipe... you get the idea right?

And did you know that according to the Chase Encyclopedia of Days, there are at least 3 holidays for each of the 365 days in a year... some days have as many as 12 holidays on them! That's over 1,000 different holidays for you to choose from, and each holiday can be divided into dozens of separate topics, resulting in a literally endless supply of ideas for you to write lenses about.

Sample Holiday Based Lenses

Dracula was a Royal Pain in the Neck!

Idea #13. Food Lenses

These are great. You can take your favorite food and build a lens about it. Pizza. Candy. Recipes. History of how a certain food got it's name. How to cook something. How to eat something. What to serve it with. Food lenses are always good and yummy. What do you like to eat?

Idea #14: Shopping Lenses

Shopping lenses are among the easiest and most profitable lenses you can create. The concept is simple: create a lens with gift ideas for a certain topic, such as "The Best Gifts for Cat Lovers" or "Great Gifts for Valentine's Day" or "Great Stuff for Your Kitchen".

You fill the lens with various seller modules, such as Amazon, Amazon Spotlight, Amazon Recommendations, eBay, CafePress, and all the rest. Than fill them up with items on the topic of your lens. Don't forget to add product reviews and tell folks why you choose the items you did.

These are the lenses that bring in the most income for you the creator, so be sure to create several of them.

Do you own your own business? A local Dairy Queen or SubWay franchise? Do you sell crafts online via your blog? Run a family owned restaurant? Do you have a Zazzle Gallery? Sell your paintings to tourists from a sidewalk stand? Drive an ice-cream tuck? There are millions of business owners in the world, from the starving artists to the small family operations to the big corps to the arm-chair entrepreneur who sells things off a website. Are you one of them? If so, why not start a lens or a series of lenses about your business! Tell the world how you got started, what you do, where you are, how to get there, how to buy things, staff bios, future goals, projected sales, and anything else you can think of to tell the world about your wonderful business!

Crochet baby blankets for The Linus Foundation? The world is filled with helpful people who give back to the community, are you one of them? What do you do to help others? Create a lens about your favorite charity, shelter, cause, and tell the world why you like it and why they should join in and help them out too!

Squidoo is the perfect outlet for pet owners to brag to their hearts content! Are you a pet owner? Why not make a lens about your pet! Write a bio. Load it with photos. Keep a doggie's daily activities diary. Share advice of pet friendly family vacation spots you've been to and would recommend. Review feeds and toys your pet prefers. Recommend the best vet for pet owners in your area. The sky is the limit.

Get a Quick Start With Squidoo's Squid-Kits

Templates for Instant Lenses

Wither you are new to Squidoo or have over a hundred lenses of your own already, there is nothing easier than using Squidoo's Quick Start Squid-Kits to create instant lenses on any topic you can dream up.

Squid-Kits are simple to use. All you do is type in what you want to build a lens about and Squidoo does the rest for you, by selecting modules and filling in all the information for you. All you do is click "publish" and you are ready to go.

While you can leave them as they come, it's best if you go through and add your own unique content to your Squid-Kit lenses to make them truly your own.

SquidWho

The first of Squidoo's Squid-Kits was SquidWho. Pick your favorite person, type in his/her name and viola! An instant lens about that person is created for you by Squidoo's SquidWho starter kit. Create your own SquidWho now!

Write About Things That Matter To You

What's the most important thing for you to keep in mind when building a new lens? Writing about things that matter to YOU. Forget about what the latest "hot topic" is. Forget about what you think "others" will like.

Ask yourself: What do you like? What are your hobbies? What are YOUR favorite things to talk about with your friends? That's what you should build lenses about. Things that interest you. Things that you enjoy. Why?

Because if you like it, than you'll enjoy writing about it. If you enjoy writing about it, than you'll be inspired to put your heart and soul into writing it. And that's what people who read Squidoo lenses want to read. They don't want mountains of links and Flikr pics and YouTube vids. Those are all good, yes, but they want to hear your take on the subject. They want to hear your views. They want to know why you chose your topic. So be sure to add lots of text modules and fill them up with lots of writing. Lots of content is good... especially if it's content that you care deeply about. Write what you know. Write what matters to you. That is the secret to great lenses.

Top Stories

FAQ: What advice would you give to other lensmasters?

Write what you know, no matter how over done, weird, cliche', niched, controversial, or obscure it is. If you know it and love it and do it yourself, than you can write about it.
Set you pen on fire and write with passion. Let the flames of your passion burn through to your readers hearts. Make them feel that what you write is of vital importance.
Write a lot. Write a little bit more. And when you think you are done, go back and write some more. Never be afraid of writing too much, you can always divide it up into a series of lenses if you get too long to fit it all on one lens.
Love your topic. Only write about things you actually do yourself. Only write about things you believe in. Only write about things you use. Only promote products you buy and use yourself. Only give advice you yourself would take and do. Be true to what you believe in, never lie to your readers just to make a quick buck.
Let your personality show though your writing. Speak the way you want to be heard. Talk to you readers the same way you would face to face. You are not a college textbook so don't sound like one in your writing.

I've joined groups, favorited, lensrolled, have them in what link exchanges I've gound etc. If you don't mind taking a look at what I have I would appreciate it. Off to check out some more. Thanks!

Amazon Spotlight

Introducing Kindle

Three years ago, we set out to design and build an entirely new class of device-a convenient, portable reading device with the ability to wirelessly download books, blogs, magazines, and newspapers. The result is Amazon Kindle.

Kindle:
Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device

We designed Kindle to provide an exceptional reading experience. Thanks to electronic paper, a revolutionary new display technology, reading Kindle's screen is as sharp and natural as reading ink on paper-and nothing like the strain and glare of a computer screen. Kindle is also easy on the fingertips. It never becomes hot and is designed for ambidextrous use so both "lefties" and "righties" can read comfortably at any angle for long periods of time.

We wanted Kindle to be completely mobile and simple to use for everyone, so we made it wireless. No PC and no syncing needed. Using the same 3G network as advanced cell phones, we deliver your content using our own wireless delivery system, Amazon Whispernet. Unlike WiFi, you'll never need to locate a hotspot. There are no confusing service plans, yearly contracts, or monthly wireless bills-we take care of the hassles so you can just read.

With Whispernet, you can be anywhere, think of a book, and get it in one minute. Similarly, your content automatically comes to you, wherever you are. Newspaper subscriptions are delivered wirelessly each morning. Most magazines arrive before they hit newsstands. Haven't read the book for tomorrow night's book club? Get it in a minute. Finished your book in the airport? Download the sequel while you board the plane. Whether you're in the mood for something serious or hilarious, lighthearted or studious, Kindle delivers your spontaneous reading choices on demand.

And because we know you can't judge a book by its cover, Kindle lets you download and read the beginning of books for free. This way, you can try it out-if you like it, simply buy and download with 1-Click, right from your Kindle, and continue reading. Want to try a newspaper as well? All newspaper subscriptions start with a risk-free two-week trial.

Kindle's paperback size and expandable memory let you travel light with your library. With the freedom to download what you want, when you want, we hope you'll never again find yourself stuck without a great read.

We're very proud to introduce Amazon Kindle and we hope you like it as much as we do.

- The Amazon Kindle Team
