Hi everyone,

In my post called Build more Backlinks I talked briefly about Squidoo. They say you can Build a Squidoo Lens in about 10 minutes although in my experience it takes a little longer to get it looking the way you want it.

Squidoo is a great free way to drive more traffic to your website and you can create  good quality pages dedicated to any given niche.

The first thing you need to do is go over to Squidoo and create an account, once you have done that you will have to give your lens an official URL, it will look something like www.squidoo.com/YOURTITLEHERE and you may have to try a few different variations before you find one that is free. After you’ve done that you will need to name your lens, you can call it anything you like (within reason) but make sure it reflects the content of what your lens is going to be about.

The next thing you will need to do when you start to build a Squidoo lens is pick a main category and give it a some ‘tags’. Tags are just keywords and are very important on Squidoo, but don’t worry, you can add more and change and delete them as you want.

You will also be asked which template you want to use, I always go with ‘Do My Own Thing’ but the choice is yours and how you want to get paid..yes you get paid too! It won’t be a lot at first but it does get better the more lenses you create.

Ok you’re up and running, now it’s time to build a Squidoo lens!

Need more help? Then get your copy of my ebook Squidoo Basics which will soon have you building lenses with the best of them..and earning money too!

Take care,

Carol
