How To Build A Squidoo Lens - Live!

There's no doubt about it. Squidoo is a formidable competitor for most
of today's so-called membership sites. If you haven't heard of Squidoo
you're probably new to Internet marketing. This traffic generating
powerhouse is very much like a chameleon. By this I mean Squidoo is
many things to many people.

It's an online quilting bee to
quilters and wanna be quilt masters. You'll find a huge and active
community of crafts people in nearly every variety of crafting.

If you're into tattoo arts as a voyeur or multi-tattooed aficionado,
you'll find yourself a home at Squidoo. The lists of tattoo related
lenses is almost unlimited.
Squidoo is definitely the place for
you to build an Internet presence. Large and small businesses get their
Internet start or enhance their image and reach by creating a lens.
With the mastery of just a few basic clicks and tucks, a Squidoo lens
can begin driving quality targeted traffic to the sites of its
thousands of marketing pros...and semi-pros.

Squidoo is actually
a community. You'll even have the option of sharing profits from Google
ads, Amazon ads and a host of others. You can even post your own custom
ads, within limits, and reap 100% of the proceeds.

I could use
the next 2000 words to describe all the benefits of a Squidoo lens.
However, you'll get more benefit if I restrict myself to just
delivering some basic components. My goal is to point you in the
direction of the fastest start-up for your own Squidoo lens. Once
you've "published" your first lens you'll find yourself fine tuning it
for the next year.

Here's my
"Fast-Five Five Step Plan" for
getting your Squidoo lens up and running.

That is, running traffic into
your main webpages or to your affiliate links.
1. If you haven't done so already, fall-in-love with something. It can be the one hobby
that makes you no money at all but makes hours of your day seem like
just a few minutes. If that particular something comes to mind as soon
as you read my words, you now have the subject for your Squidoo lens.

If it takes you a little longer to decide, that's perfectly ok. Just don't
spend more than 20 minutes thinking about the subject of your first
lens. In fact, I'll give you a short cut that will probably make you a
lot of money right away. If not it will definitely throw tons of
traffic at your lens. We'll make that number two.


2. Go to Google and find the number one top search driver for the day. A few
days ago it was a new sport shoe from Nike. What ever it is, especially
if you can't think of anything else, make that the subject of your
lens. Just do it.


3. Google everything you can to find
information about this subject and save your notes in a Word file.
Consider it a brainstorming exercise and do not critique what you find.
Just stay in search mode until you have at least two or three full
pages of information.



4. Now you're ready to open your Squidoo
account, which is a very easy process. Be sure to choose the option
that indicates you want to earn money from your lens.

5. Next you will want to take your time organizing your information, deciding
on a topic for the different sections and save them one at a time on
your lens. You'll notice the myriad options and widgets at your
disposal. Click them all and play around with the database until you're
too tired to see straight. Save your edits and critiques until you are
certain you've got too much stuff on your lens.

Now for the bonus Tip! You're still not ready to critique. First you'll want to
find pictures to match your article and information sections. This will
also serve as a weeding out process. If you can't find a suitable
picture to complement your information, delete the section but save it
in your Word file. You can always find a way to use in another lens
down the road.

When it's all said and done, your Squidoo lens
will be unique, informative and profitable at many levels. You'll
notice not many of them are things-of-beauty. Just take a flyer at the
project and have fun.

"All work and no play usually results in
no pay." There are literally thousands of places for you to post the
link to your Squidoo page once you've completed your work. Get Busy!
