    Really great lens, I read every word and clicked out on every click. Rare if you visit as many lenses as I do every day. I was intrigued by figuring out where there was controversy and trying to get in the middle of it, and also your take on celebrity lenses. I would add that responding to the quests you are provided can bring about some really successful lenses, usually ones that would surprise you. Angel Blessed!

    I have found that I have created posts on things that I am not that interested in, their a bit to sales orientated for what I like. I have a lot of interests that I am passionate about rather than just selling things.

    These are all great ideas. I think you've got my motor running here. Thanks!

    I seems do not know what to write, but your lense has been very helpful, thanks.
  • artyfax Jan 19, 2011 @ 5:14 am | delete
    My biggest problem is coming up with ideas for new lenses. Yes I have lots of titles but find that lenses on those subjects already exist, I then need to find an angle which hasn't been covered or where I think I can do better. I think I becobe too self-critical at this point but I hope this lens and some of the links will help me to get over this. Thanks for your help.
  • CrystalGillis Jan 18, 2011 @ 6:55 pm | delete
    Oops, I forgot to say, I think I might do a lens on my daughter's school project on making a pig house from the 3 Little Pigs. We had so much fun and it came out great!

    So far you are my favorite Lensmaster! Thank you so much for all the great work you do. After all these years of surfing, I think I've finally found the community on the web where I belong!
  • chocsie Jan 1, 2011 @ 6:08 am | delete

  • darciefrench Dec 20, 2010 @ 6:55 pm | delete
    Awesome Squidoo Tips lens- I added the Magic 8 Box Idea Generator to your brainstomring list -:)
  • Greekgeek Dec 20, 2010 @ 8:48 pm | delete
    Thanks, Darcie! I put it down with the "Featured lenses' instead, since my "Brainstorming" plexo is really for people to suggest one specific topic/lens idea, like I did with #1-10 above. But it's a good lens! Ambitious, too!
  • Gail47 Dec 20, 2010 @ 6:52 pm | delete
    Great ideas! Thanks for giving us a heads-up on what works and does not for those of us who struggle with new ideas.

    A great thought provoking lens. Never thought to browse through Yahoo Answers for ideas.
  • sema Nov 15, 2010 @ 7:31 am | delete
    Wonderful Suggestions and the lens is well presented.

    I came looking for your squidoo monster lens, but found this gem instead. Great ideas! Drop me a link to your monster lens, I'd love to read it but couldn't find it. :)
  • MeganCasey Sep 27, 2010 @ 11:19 pm | delete
    This is a very smart list! Wonderful suggestions for lens types that will not only be fun for people to create, but will also be useful to readers (and poised for good traffic).
  • Greekgeek Sep 28, 2010 @ 1:40 am | delete
    Thank you, Megan!
  • aesta1 Sep 19, 2010 @ 8:47 pm | delete
    Have not heard of Yahoo Answers. Will try it. Thanks for the other tips, too. Sometimes, what you really need is to just sit down and do it.
  • nyfamily5 Sep 17, 2010 @ 6:25 am | delete
    I also used to struggle with what to make lenses about, now I have a list and not enough time. Thanks for the suggestions.
  • Home-Interior-Designer Sep 16, 2010 @ 8:12 pm | delete
    Super advice and wonderful graphics. As you mention, Yahoo Answers is a good place to gain inspiration for a lens
  • LadyLovelace Sep 16, 2010 @ 8:10 pm | delete
    Well, now I have two dozen or so lenses on my to-do list... so, uh. Thanks, I guess? :D
  • kiwisoutback Sep 16, 2010 @ 8:08 am | delete
    I've been busy with the tradition type lenses for Halloween, along with using some of my travel expertise to publish new lenses. I remember struggling for ideas when I first started publishing, but now I have hundreds of "to-do" lenses to be published. Once you get into a large niche you like, the possibilities are endless. I'm lensrolling this to my (much older) 48 Ideas for Squidoo Lenses page.
