The introduction to your commerce lens is key, because this is where your reader begins his/her visit. Keep it simple and to the point.

They are available in a huge variety of styles and themes to fit your interests and personalize your shoes.

• Write a catchy title that includes at least one of your main keywords.
  
  
• Keep the intro short (2-3 paragraphs at the most) and include your best product picture or if you are branding your company name, include your logo.
  
  
• Make sure to include additional keywords, that your potential customers might search on but don't go overboard.
  
  
• I would also suggest staying away from bold or italics because they tend to draw attention to the font not the content.
  
  
• One last thing, make that first paragraph sing, because if your lens is ever featured by another lensmaster, using the Featured Lens Module, that is all readers will see.

After the intro, I think it is very important to follow with a featured item using the Text/Write Module. Choose one of your best sellers, a special offer or maybe a seasonal item.

Did you know that the US Route 66 highway is the most famous and talked about road in the United States? Some of the nicknames it has inheritated along the way are Route 66, The Main Street of America, The Mother Road and Will Rogers Highway.

It all began in 1926 in Chicago, Illinois and ended up 2,448 miles away in Los Angeles, California. It wasn't until 1938 that the road was completely aved. It was then deactivated in 1985 and replaced by the new Interstate Highway System. The old signs came down and portions of the road were designated a National Scenic Byway now known as "Historic Route 66".

You can stop by for lunch at the nostalgic 66 Diner in Albuquerque, tour the Route 66 Auto Museum in Santa Rosa, or stay at the Wigwam Motel in Holbrook. There are many motels, gas stations, diners and the famous corny roadside attractions along the highway.

"...and they come into 66 from the tributary side roads, from the wagon tracks and the rutted country roads, 66 is the mother road, the road of flight." -- John Steinbeck in "The Grapes of Wrath".

Thanks to Dean Baker Wholesale Handbags. for the great example.

Make sure to build a story around the item, like in the example above. Remember, this is a featured item so treat it that way.

See how simple that was. Don't worry about being perfect at the beginning. The more comfortable you are with using the Squidoo tools, the more fun you can have. The best part is, you will be driving targeted traffic to your store or website.

Once you have finished the lens please make sure to add it to the eBay Seller Directory on Squidoo.

I would love to fill the map with dots telling everyone where you eBay from. If you are a buyer or a seller on eBay, please add your location, website, eBay store to the map. Please feel free to add this map to your lenses, blogs, myspace page, Facebook page, eBay Blog or About Me page.

Special thanks to JasonE for turning me onto this cool map feature.
