How to Quickly Build a Squidoo Lens
A Squidoo lens is a great thing to set up. Google once again seems
to love Squidoo. That means Google ranks Squidoo lenses very well
on their search results. It’s also very easy to build a Squidoo
lens quickly. Here’s how to build a Squidoo lens in 10 minutes.
The first thing you need to do is go to Squidoo.com and sign-up for
an account (if you don’t already have one). Once you have an
account then you’re ready to build your first lens. So you can go
ahead and click-on “Make a Lens” at the top of the page. Then go
ahead and complete the information they ask you to complete.
The correct way to build a Squidoo lens is for you to include
keywords for your topic. Try to do this in the URL and in the title
of your lens. You’ll also be able to add keyword tags to your lens
after you’re built the lens.
Once you’ve filled in the preliminary information (name of lens,
the URL, keywords, etc.) then you want to actually build your lens.
The best way how to build a Squidoo lens in 10 minutes is to
include as little information as possible in each module (you can
add more information later). You also want to have about 5 modules.
So begin with the Introduction module. In about 3 sentences explain
what the lens is about. Include a picture if you have one.
Then include a poll, an Amazon module (books from Amazon that
relate to the niche), a YouTube module, and a link list (linking to
your website). It will probably take you about 5 minutes to do all
that. You can add more now or later if you want.
One last thing you do need to do is include more keyword tags. You
do this by going to the right of the lens and clicking on “edit”
beside tags. Then put in as many as 20 keyword tags that apply to
your lens.
When this is finished go ahead and click on “Publish” at the top of
the page. This will put your page “live” on Squidoo. Remember you
can go back in and make improvements later. You can add some other
cool modules like “Black Box” or “Sticky Note”. (They are both
super-easy to set-up and they look great!) Just to get your lens up
and running this is a great way how to build a Squidoo lens in 10
minutes or less.
