Make Your Top 10 Squidoo Lens Sparkle

Have you ever tried to write a Squidoo lens using the popular Top 10 format? As part of the Rocket Moms project all the participants are invited to make a Top 10 lens. I had always known that this was a great idea - but had never quite realized just how great a format it is.

The possibilities are endless. Sit down for a moment and see how many ideas that you can think of. Once you start you just may not be able to choose which idea to run with first.

But how do you make your lens shine and stand out from the rest?

How to Write a Top 10 Lens 

Of All the Moms, Youre the Best, Moms with Foods

One of the great things about Rocket Moms is that it gets us all to think of things in a different way. To step outside of our comfort zone.

I always knew that a Top 10 format was a great idea but had never written one until I created Disney World Rides

I am so glad that I took the plunge encouraged by Rocket Moms - as this is now a very popular lens with my niche.

So stretch your lens making abilities a little and think of something new. There are so many things which you could write about.

Just look at the creativity and diversity of the lenses which the Rocket Moms made for Project #1!

One sure way to make your lens stand out from the crowd is to use great images. But of course there are legal issues which we all must be aware of - and this can be confusing at times.

So where did I get the images from on this page? I use Allposters a lot on my Squidoo lenses and have been really pleased with the results. As will all affiliates though make sure you use only when it adds something to your lens - and always credit those pictures with a link back as prescribed by the site.

I'm not sure what you mean by top 10 format? can you tell me

This is a great lens!

I signed up with all posters, but never did figure out exactly how to get things in to my lenses...the code didn't seem to work....would I just save the picture, put it in and then code in the link to that poster? I sure have a lot of lenses on different subjects that I could find posters to match up!

No, I do not have a favorite Top Ten Lens. But I did list two of the new ones submitted by RocketMoms on my top ten lens.
