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 [...]
I’ve spent a lot of time in the past talking about how Lensrank, while a potentially nice boost, shouldn’t be a cornerstone of your money making plan.
A stepping stone? Yes, definitely. Who doesn’t love a few extra bucks coming in every month? In fact, it’s possible to make several hundred bucks a month this way.
Why [...]
Sorry for the lack of Ebay Challenge Updates folks, I got a little carried away. On Saturday morning I found a niche on eBay Pulse and was going to create a second ‘product’ lens to show you folks a few other little tricks.
Unfortunately the niche got a little carried away with me and here I [...]
Alright all you squids and squidettes hold on to your tentacles.
The first lens by the good ole Captain for the Ebay – Squidoo 10 Day Challenge is live and ready for action.

Lot’s of exciting stuff going on [...]
I think that the ‘Plexo’ modules on Squidoo are probably one of the least understood aspects of Squidoo. I have always been kind of ambivalent towards all of the plexo modules just because I never really saw how they could benefit me. Until Now.
The Real Facts about Plexo Modules:
Votes are pooled across all versions of [...]
There’s a new module on the ‘Interact’ page of the Module picker titled’ Amazon Recomendations’. It’s an interesting twist on the classic Amazon Plexo that’s worth checking out.
It basically pulls a 5 item plexo list from Amazon with items that are ‘related’ to the item you give the module to start with.
Why this is awesome:

I feel that the YouTube module is one of the most poorly used modules as a whole across Squidoo when it has the potential to be one of the most powerful.
What is your goal when someone visits your lens? To learn something new? To buy a product or service? To get them to go visit [...]
One of the keys to having the Big G or Yahoo! or MSN come back to your lens over and over again is having unique content on your lens that also updates regularly. Contrary to popular belief, several modules do NOT help you with spiders when they crawl your site.
