    I like blogs because they are so much fun.

    Well, one of these days I'll bit the bullet and start a blog.

    I'm just getting started with Squidoo alone, but after a dozen or so lenses, I think expanding my repertoire into blogging will be a wise choice : )

    Thank you Mr. Lewis for this info! For me is just amazing, now that I'm starting my first lens and want to learn all about getting traffic and getting more comments in my lens. Perhaps you can checkout my first lens. Your comments and feedback would be welcome. http://www.squidoo.com/the-mangosteen-fruit

    I've got a blog but I'm still working on my niche! Everything takes time, I suppose!

    Blogging sounds fun, after reading the 13 reasons to blog, I'm sold.

    Very well written blog info. All good and valid points, and I learned something in your section on the income of blog readers quoted from Technorati.

    Wow, your lens is cool. Just thought I'd leave a comment to let you know. I also gave you a thumbs-up and made you one of my favs. Thanks for sharing this information. If you have time, surf on by and check out my newest lens on Migraine Headaches. Leave me a comment on what you think .

    I love blogging :)
  • TimArends Aug 5, 2010 @ 9:35 pm | delete
    Very informative. My big question is, should you make a blog, website, Squidoo lenses, Hubpages or just spend all your time submitting to article directories? If the answer is "a little of each," then the question becomes "In what proportions?" It's not so much knowing how to promote, but which is the best use of your limited time. But this lens has helped me get my thinking in order.
  • KatherineKouture Jul 19, 2010 @ 11:02 am | delete
    Great Info, I definitely need to work on my blog. It's finding useful content for everyday of the week that I have trouble with. Thanks!
  • weavz May 4, 2010 @ 11:49 pm | delete
    It seems that blogging has taken a very different turn in the last year. I see blogs with 700 to 900 subscribers. How do they do that? You seem to know. Good info.
  • homelearningbusiness Mar 16, 2010 @ 12:47 pm | delete
    This is brillant information on here I'm still learning loads on blogging, articles and seo, but with all the great tips like this should be well away....!
  • AlmostChemist Dec 3, 2009 @ 9:39 pm | delete
    I like it! Now I know that a blog offers a lot...
  • markreed23 Sep 4, 2009 @ 9:31 am | delete
    Great Lens, reall useful, I started with blogs in the first place, but then got a little hooked on Squidoo as I found the community was much easier to get involved with and found it easier to come up with ideas by looking at what others were writing about. I think I will go back to Blogger account and give some TLC, as well as keeping my lenses coming. Thanks for the advice.
  • Alvin-D Aug 4, 2009 @ 5:39 pm | delete
    Great info. The stats on blog readers sure helped me in having more insight on blogs.

    I really enjoyed this one! Gave me a couple reasons I didn't already know. Thanks Lewis!

    Wow! What great info! I never knew all this stuff, but I've had people saying, I should blog. After reading this, I'm setting up a blog. Thanks for providing this info.
  • ChineseKitesforKids May 21, 2009 @ 8:37 am | delete
    This was very helpful indeed. I have a blog in blogger that I link to my main website. I just started all this back in March but I did notice that when I linked the blog that my rating in Google jumped up like 20 pages. The only money I have made so far has come from that blog through adsense.... That sounds awful but remember I have only been doing this since March so I was pretty proud of it. I think you're right, if you're not blogging, you're missing out. I am going to bookmark this page, stumble it and become a fan. Thank you for sharing.

    My top rated pages is Chinese Kites but I'm trying to get my Daycare School Online page hopping so if you could drop by and rate that I would appreciate it. If you can't it's not a big deal either.
  • Cajean Apr 10, 2009 @ 5:11 pm | delete
    Yep, this a really encouraging lens! As soon as I figure out what to write without overlapping my lenses too much, I'll begin. I definitely need to dig deeper into all your helpful and well-explained advice. Thanks for making it nice to look at too! 5*, my faves, & lensrolled. :-)
  • yesido Mar 30, 2009 @ 10:04 pm | delete
    Lewis, thanks for all the great tips. You just made me realize that I better start my blog sooner that later.
  • poutine Mar 22, 2009 @ 3:37 pm | delete
    I love blogging but was doing it mostly for fun, but now thinking
    of monetize it. Thanks for the advice.

    Great Info, I am totally new at this and you've made me feel at home. I'll be stopping by often
    I have so much to learn. I need to learn how to add this feature to my lens !.
    Thanks again
  • Mountainside-Crochet Mar 13, 2009 @ 12:46 pm | delete
    After reading this lens, I just may get up the nerve to begin a Blog! I've been intimidated until now, but starting a Squidoo lens has helped reduce my anxiety about it, and your lens has given me needed encouragement. Thank you.

    Hi Lewis--I was thinking today that I really need to start a blog for a few niche lenses I put together recently. Thanks for the reminder. Scheduling your blog posts to publish on different days is one of my favorite sneaky "secret" tactics too. Set it and forget it. :-)
