Building for the long term

Lensmaster “Making a mark” sends in her tips for, well, making her mark on Squidoo.

And it’s all about having a vision.

Two suggestions from her to you:

“Root the long-term development of your lenses in what you’re interested in. I’ve got a very strong focus on visual arts and have two big groups of lenses. “Resources for artists” - about the media I love and “resources for art lovers” about pre-20th century artists.”

and

“Create related lenses in series - that way you have the potential to create traffic between lenses if somebody ends up on one site as a result of a browser search.”

There you have it. Go with your natural interests and passions, first. Then tie them all together. A simple, smart strategy for success that goes way beyond just Squidoo.

Quick! What's Squidoo?

Squidoo is the popular publishing platform and community that makes it easy for you to create "lenses" online. Lenses are pages, kind of like flyers or signposts or overview articles, that gather everything you know about your topic of interest – and snap it all into focus. It's a supersimple, fun and powerful way to share your interests, build your online identity and credibility, and connect with new readers and friends. It's all free, and you could even earn a royalty for charity or yourself!
