How To Build A Killer Squidoo Lens For Marketing Online

Squidoo is quickly becoming a great way to market a business online and earn income via affiliate programs.In case you don't know, Squidoo is a free resource that allows anyone to build web pages (referred to as "lenses") about anything and everything.From an Internet marketing perspective, these lenses can be extremely search engine friendly and drive massive traffic to your website.

Here are 10 strategies to build a great Squidoo lens that will bring traffic and money your way.

1.Make sure you completely fill out your entire Squidoo profile.This includes adding an interesting bio about yourself and a photo that represents you.Doing this will let people on Squidoo know what you're about and encourage them to read more of your lenses


2.

The name you choose for your lens is very important.Your title needs to be unique and catchy rather than bland and generic.The title also needs to point out exactly what the page is about and should include search terms that people would use when seeking out the info you are providing.

For example, the title "Why Dalmatians Are The Coolest Dogs Ever!" beats the pants off "About Dalmatian Dogs".

3.Write a quality introduction that is appealing and informative to the reader.Your intro should also contain keyword / search terms in order for the search engines to recognize you.Remember that the first line of your intro is often what shows up in the search engines so make sure that it displays your purpose of the lens and targeted keywords.

4.Write killer content that people will enjoy.If you lens lacks content, doesn't entertain or doesn't inform people than nobody is going to want to read it.Pick subjects that you know something about and share your experiences.If people see you are excited that will get them fired up too.As always, don't forget to include your keywords and search terms throughout the copy but make sure you don't go overboard with this (ie.keyword spamming).

5.Include targeted links to related content.Remember that search engines notice not only who is linking to you, but also who you are linking to.Make sure that when you do link to related websites you use targeted words and phrases as your links.For example, if you are writing about Mini Coopers your outgoing links should say something like, "For more info, check out this website on Mini Coopers" instead of just "Click here".You can also add Amazon and other modules that can help with this.

6.Don't forget the graphics.Graphics will help break up your content and encourage people to continue reading.

7.Make sure that you tag your lens with 10 to 30 phrases and keywords that people might search for when looking for your topic.

8.Provide a variety of content.Large blocks of text, ads, graphics, etc can easily lose your reader's attention.Mix it up and spread your lens out.

9.Encourage people to come back to your lens by providing a guestbook and poll.You also want to update or change your content every once in awhile which will help you with the search engines.

10.Make sure you proofread before you publish.Grammar and spelling do matter so utilize your spellchecker and read through your content a few times before you go live.It's also a good idea to have others read your stuff over to catch anything you might have missed.

So now all that's left for you to do is take action and start Squidooing!By putting all these strategies to use it won't take long until you are enjoying targeted traffic to your website compliments of your new Squidoo lenses.

A Guide To PLR

What is PLR?Like me you also might have heard this word many times.PLR refers to Private Label Rights.We can get PLR articles, PLR ebooks, PLR software products etc.But what does this mean?right?Suppose that we bought 5k PLR articles for $ 5 (yes, these PLR things are pretty cheap now a days - don't get shocked seeing the price), then we get the right to publish them in our blog by changing the content a little bit and make pretty good amount of money.Not just that, we can even publish them as it is - no one is gonna sue us for that - just because these are PLR articles, and we have the right to do whatever we want with it.

PLR products come with Master Re-sale rights as well.It means that we can sell the same thing to others - just like the seller sold them to us.

How to get these PLR products like ebooks, articles, etc?A good place to get PLR products is from forums like DP,namepros etc.There you will find people selling these kind of stuffs for pretty cheap price.As I have mentioned earlier, you can get 5K of PLR articles for even $5 - so that speaks about the price of the PLR products.So, don't get scammed from people when they tell you that they are gonna give you 1000 PLR articles for just $ 100.There are a lot of people who knows nothing about PLR products and end up wasting their money for PLR products this way.These guys get excited when seeing such an offer and buy them the same moment.Only after buying it for such high price, these people comes to know about the real value of those PLR products.

How to make money with PLR products?You might be wondering whether it would be easy or not?right?It's pretty easy to make money from PLR products if you do it the right way.Here we are going to explain you one of the many things that you can do with PLR products.

Suppose you bought about 1 K PLR articles from someone.The next thing you should do is to find an article re-writer who would re-write these articles for you for pretty cheap prices.It's gonna cost you just $ 25 for 25 articles of 500 words each.Give the article re-writer 25 PLR articles from your collection of PLR articles and ask him to re-write them ask soon as possible.Most of the re-writers would do it within 24 hours of time.This way, you have done the most important part.Now let's get into the next part.

Now you are having with you 25 unique articles.You may check it for plagarism before you pay the article re-writer.Don't pay if it doesn't pass copyscape.There is no use of plagarised content.It's because search engines would find out easily if our site/blog ishaving copied content and will penalize our site the same moment.Thus we won't be ranking in the search engines from then on - and thus our blog/website will be of no use from then on.Let's hope that you got 25 copyscape passed articles from those 25 PLR articles that you submitted to the article re-writer.

Publish one article each day in your blog from those 25 articles.This way you can have 25 blog post that are 100 % unique and copyscape passed after 25 days.During this time, you can do little bit of promotion to your blog and make it indexed in the search engines.Indexing in the search engines is not a tough job.You can find people who would do that for as cheap as $5 in forums and all.So, the amount of money you have spent so far is just $ 25 and you are with a blog that has 25 unique articles which is indexed and is 25 days old as well.

Now, goto your favourite forum which allows you to sell websites and blogs.Post a thread informing others that you are selling your blog which consists of 25 articles.And don't forget to mention that the site is 25 days old and indexed too.You would be getting at least $ 100 for such a site.So you get a profit of $ 75 from one blog.Just think, if you are having 25 such blogs.The earning potential from PLR products is thus infinitely large.
