The Talk of Squidoo is Lenses and Lensmasters!

I don't know how this lens ever got out of WIP, but here it is! - What is "the talk of Squidoo"? - Well, let me tell you a little bit about Squidoo first. On Squidoo lensmasters make, bake, or create lenses. The talk of Squidoo is therefore, LENSES!

This Squidoo Tips Lens is to show you, How - To - Build - A - Worthless - Lens!

Just don't follow my examples, and I'm sure you can build a valuable, interesting, and useful lens. - I'm sure of it!

My Newest Lens of Orbs Pictures 

Published on June 16th 2009

WIP is a place where lenses that are under construction go until they are not under construction. 

WIP is a good place to have a lens until you are ready to publish it.

I published this lens with enough modules on it. 4 to 5 modules with some content will be enough to get out of WIP. It doesn't seem to matter what that content is, or if it all focuses on 'a topic' or not. - I started out on Squidoo by publishing lenses that weren't ready to be published, but I had enough modules with some content. - I ended up with a bunch of 'lenses' that were half baked, had no creativity what so ever, and were worthless as far as useful or interesting content goes. - I than had to be working on a bunch of half baked lenses.

I have several lenses that are in the Top 100 Lists, and I've even gotten to #1 on Squidoo. The fact still remains, that I had some unfinished lenses to work on while I tired to keep my ratings up on the ones that do real well. That's work!

My Advice: Don't drink alcohol like Foster Brooks and publish lenses when you are half baked! - Be patient, work on a lens for a week or two at first, and add as much about the topic as you can think of. - Once you get more experienced you'll be able to sometimes wipe-up a lens in little time, depending on the lens. - It does get easier, but everyone will admit that it can be overwhelming and frustrating creating lenses and than trying to get traffic. - The tag words and keywords are very important to work on. Even experienced lensmasters can have troubles with adding just the right tags and keywords to their lenses. The traffic will come, if you do this well and it is what people are searching for.

I've seen lots of lenses that are thrown together by experienced lensmasters on one single point. It may have taken them all of 5 or 10 minutes to do. The point may be very worth while for newbies, but as far as a lens goes, that is not a good example. Those lenses will earn revenues from Squidoo though, and if you look at it from that point of view --- I guess they are a good example to earn more money.

I know, there are lots of half baked lenses on Squidoo that are doing well. That is because the lensmaster is popular and gets free advertising from other lensmaster's news letters and lenses. Are you popular? Are you well know? If not, a half baked lens isn't going to get noticed much and will in most cases get passed by. Hopefully, someone won't leave you with a 1-star rating!

Dean Martin vs Foster Brooks 

Dean wasn't able to not crack up with Foster.

What does this video have to do with Squidoo Tips? - Nothing!
Don't put a hilarious video on a serious topic lens, don't do it!

Relax! - Squidoo is fun when you start to get the hang of it and you are no longer pulling your hair out like 'sittonbull' was and other lensmasters, myself included.

Make it fun! - So what, if this video doesn't fit here, its funny as all get out! Laughing makes you breathe!
Take a break and laugh a little, watch a funny video or change the channel on your TV. - Breathing and laughing is relaxing. - Smell a rose!

Amazing Black and White 

This picture is here because I like it!

Now I could have a big picture of a Squidoo Boxed CD here to sell you, with a link to Buy It Now below. As a affiliate marketer on a "Squidoo Tips" lens, that would make a lot more sense and go along with the topic and content. The lens might even get picked for LOTD or favorited, or better yet I might sell something!
