How to write Great Copy for Your Squidoo Lens

Here is a great and sneaky tip that I found to write good copy. Sometimes when I am creating my Squidoo lenses I hit a wall and run out of ideas. This 10 minute video by Jay Abraham will give you some great tips you can start using right away to help you write great copy for your squidoo lenses.

Check it out!

Write from the Heart!

Out of all of my lenses the ones that get the most traffic and comments are the ones that I am passionate about.

That first text module is often the hardest, but if you write from your heart the rest of the lens will flow out of you very easily.

I write about everything and anything. I write about personal challenges that I have had, and offer help to others who may be going through the same thing, or I might write about a funny experience or something that made me smile. I often write about challenges that network marketers have and share how I have overcame them.

For me, it doesn’t matter what the topic is, I write from my heart and always think about the reader first. I am thinking about how I can help them.

The biggest mistake people make when creating Squidoo lenses, is they are trying to sell a product. And so the lens appears to be one big sales add.

It is okay to sell. I mean I have links to my products and Amazon links on most of my lenses, but I first write from the heart and offer help to the reader.

To you Squidoo Success!

Giant Squid

Well it's taken a year and now with over 70 lenses I have made Giant Squid!

I love Squidoo for so many reasons. Squidoo has connected me with amazing people and has been a way for me to help others. As many of you know, I am a network marketer and am very passionate about teaching others and helping them to be successful and avoid the pitfalls in network marketing. Through my Squidoo lenses I believe I have been able to help many people.

I have recently decided that now that I have become a Giant, it is time for me to pay it forward and help others with Squidoo. So I have created a new Squidoo Tips Newsletter. I will be sending out weekly Squidoo Tips.

Twitter Tip

I'm sure most of you tweet your lens every-time you update or create a new one. I have started writing more personalized tweets rather than the standard "reading this" and I have found that I am getting substantially more visits to my lens.

So for example, when I updated my Spring is coming lens, I simply asked a question, "Are you ready for Spring?".

Try it and see if you get better results as well.

Squidoo Loves me and You!

I was just at one of the blogs that I follow, called I Squidoo, Do You and found a wonderful e-book written for squidoo lensmasters.

This is just another example of why I love Squidoo so much. I have never been associated with a nicer more loving group of people. It's about helping each other and paying it forward.

So visit I Squidoo, Do You and pick up a copy of the e-book.

Squidoo Traffic

Here are 3 simple things you can do to up your rankings and get more traffic to your Squidoo lenses - today!



1. Start visiting other peoples lenses. Rate their lenses and add them to your favorites if you honestly loved it. Also be sure to leave a comment. Try to put some thought in your comment. Don't just say, "Nice Lens". When your comment has real value, it will cause curiosity and others will want to check you out. So they will either visit your profile, or visit a few of your lenses. I have also found that when you leave a positive comment on someone's lens, they will usually return the favor and visit your lens.


2. Put your lens in as many groups as possible within the same topic. This will also give you lots of exposure.



3. Twitter! If you don't use Twitter, you should check it out. Twitter is a social networking site that displays all of your daily actions on your profile. I twitter everything I do. I also follow anyone who follows me.



The most important this is to have fun. I love squidoo and have generated huge traffic to my website because of it. I have also made wonderful friends.

All I can say is I love Squidoo.

I started building lenses as a way to promote myself in order to help Network Marketers. And I've done that. But I have received so much more.

I learn Squidoo is NOT just about promoting you and what you love. It is a whole community of amazing people! I have met the most amazing people through networking at squidoo.

This lens is for anyone who is thinking about Squidoo or has been a Squid for a long time. I'm hoping to share with you some of my favorite lenses as long as tips that I've learned.
