Getting some great questions on lenses so far guys, keep it up! I’ll continue to answer them here as we move along.
First question I want to tackle relates to how long it takes me to build lenses.
From Lewis:
Hey Joe!
Maybe you could also post about how long the lenses take you – I know you make [...]
Sorry for the absence everyone, have been getting settled in Singapore and adjusted to life on Southeast Asia.
As I’m starting a new phase in my pirate life I’ve also decided to begin a new phase in my Squidoo life as well.
Now, in the past I’ve made several thousand dollars a month from Squidoo but with [...]
mac33 has an excellent post on lensrank decay on one of his lenses and the impact of traffic on his lensrank.
It is an excellent example of how a few ticks of traffic to your lens don’t necessarily mean you will instantly climb to the top of the lensrank ladder. If your visitors arent engaging with [...]
The Captain Says.. 10 Old School Rules for the New Age of Squidoo: Recently, after the demise .. http://bit.ly/I9D5S #
was learning about virtual desktops and ran across this – http://bit.ly/tcgU6 – not virtual but very awesome #
@earthgarage Best way to start w/ #squidoo is just to throw a lens up to see how it works. [...]
Recently, after the demise of the Discovery tool and with Squidoo Groups having faded into (mostly) obscure places in the far reaches of Squidoo, an old stand by for optimizing your lens has re-emerged into viability – tagging your lens.
Tag pages are once again indexable by the major search engines. Fluffanutta has an exceptional review [...]
I think the most important part of any endeavor is always learning from your mistakes.
I’ve got hundreds of lenses (Hundreds!) that are total failures.
Except for what I’ve learned from them.
You can learn a little by finding good information from smart people in the forums or on blogs etc.
But you can learn so much more by [...]
I totally missed that Glen published an Interview with The Captain from last year on the Lensroll.com blog. I just re-read through it (we initially did the interview last year sometime) and it’s surprisingly still quite relevant to the way I continue to build lenses today.
Definitely worth a read. I had forgotten I’d written so [...]
Lensmaster and Giant Squid Kab stopped by the chat room the other day and asked if it was possible to create a module for lenses that showed the most recent update from your blip.fm account.
After a few tweaks and bumps, I’m proud to present the Blip.fm Squidoo module.
Bip.fm on Widgetsquid
Lens about Blip.fm Module with FAQ
Now, [...]
Okay, so you probably haven’t made $1,000 from Commission Junction and Squidoo quite yet but hopefully the video series of the past few days has proven useful to a few young squids out there.
As a special follow up treat, if you can’t seem to watch the videos in your browser for whatever reason you can [...]
I’ve written before on some ‘must have’ tools for Squidoo Lensmasters. That list has gotten a little longer with the newly released Squidoo Toolbar from SquidUtils.
I had the pleasure of helping to beta test the new toolbar over the last few weeks with Fluffanutta and I can say that it’s spectacular with stuff like the [...]
