Becoming a Giant Squid takes time. Here is a link to guide you through what you will need to do to become a Giant ... http://www.squidoo.com/GiantSquids What you will want to keep in mind is that the lenses need to be quality lenses. Write about what you know, about what interests you. Make them personal. Include pictures & quotes to make the lenses interesting to the reader.
