DIY Squidoo Basics

To succeed you will still need to follow the rules of the Five C’s

Concept:

If you build a lens on a topic nobody is interested in, lets say,” the indochronic properties of resumbulated thytimoline,” then probably few people will check it out.

Like wise if you make a site on something that the web is saturated with, lets say “art” where there are 5 bizillion web pages, few will probably visit.

If however you have a unique perspective on art and can create a unique and catchy title for your lens, then you may get some decent traffic.

So a page on Why You Can Draw Better Than You Think might get some interesting views.

Create:

The creation of your lens including profitable links is a basic standard for the web. People like great content, relevant links, graphics and pictures, and something pleasing to the eye.

Clicks:

There are numerous ways to get people to visit your lens. There are lenses that even tell you some of the tricks to improve your visits.

Incidentally, this is a great way to get traffic to your site. The lens allows a link to your site.

Confidence:

Confidence is built several ways. Your expertise is an important part. Accuracy of your statements. Proofs, references, even spelling and punctuation can play a part in building confidence.

But wait, would not this come before clicks. There is an important part of confidence that only comes after clicks. This is testimonials and comments. Once people visit, by capturing their comments or reviews and making them part of the process builds confidence.

Also, it is good to look back after a few days and see if you missed anything.

Your DIY Squidoo lens will be yet another way to build confidence in your site. Use it to promote your web site.

Note: Although the directions are self explanatory, the one that may leave you wondering is on step three. The box asks you to...

Pick your URL, the link where your lens will live.

What this is asking for is in effect for you to create a page name. This way, should someone be looking for what you write about, you will come up in the searches.

For this, put the main keyword that will be the basis of your lens.

So if you were doing an article on splorks, that would be the keyword. However if someone has already used the word splorks, you would have to make it more specific.

So it could be

love-your-splork
care-for-your-splork
101-ways-to-splork (you would need 101 ways of course)
splorking-as-a-family

and so on. This way you will be found if someone types in a search term for splork, splorks or splorking.

One more thing...

Do it now. Build a lens. Build a lens on what it is like building your first lens. Build it on your passion. As a suggestion, keep it short and sweet.
