Turn an Article into a Squidoo Lens

An Article with Steps Looks Like This on Squidoo

Example of a Squidoo Text List Module

• 1Sign up for an account. I've provided a referral link below for your convenience. Browse through the lenses on the site, looking at topics that interest you.
• 2Click on CREATE A LENS. Give it a title. It doesn't have to include "How To" in the title unless that is essential to the article's content. Put the keywords in the URL. Use - or _ between the words if you want on the URL.
• 3Put the introduction from the eHow article into the introduction space for the Squidoo lens. Add a picture and save this module.
• 4The standard lens draft has a few modules all ready for use. Paste all the steps from the eHow article into the Squidoo text list or the text module module. Save that module. Later in the process, add additional text modules and shift some of the steps into those.
• 5Go to the top of the workshop form and choose additional modules to use with the lens. Select several from the SELL STUFF column (Amazon, Cafe Press, eBay, Zazzle), and from the WRITE STUFF column (link list, text module, text list). Click on DONE ADDING so it will move the modules to the bottom of the draft lens.
• 6Move sections from the first text box into additional text boxes. Intersperse the selling modules with the text modules. On the workshop form, use the REORDER MODULES tool to get the text modules and selling modules in a sensible order. Click on APPLY to lock those into place.
