To check out some of the others on Squidoo is a good idea before setting up your lens. When you are ready to set up your own lens, click on the Make A Lens box and begin. What you want to do with your lens will be the first think you are asked. Then you pick a category that you would like your lens to fall under and will fill in the URL for your website next. Fill out your profile and add some key search words for your lens.
The reason why Squidoo calls their pages ‘lenses’ is to point out that this is what the user fucusses on. This site attracts nearly half million potential buyers a day for your products. You are asked to fill out the first module which is an introduction to you and your subject, once you start your lens. You then have the option to set up a guestbook for visitors and a section to link to similar sites. With Squiddoo you even get access to making money because you can suggest other products related to your own, you then get a commission for every purchase. To finish off with your lens click the publish button and leave the rest to Squidoo.
