If you are looking to make some money online, you may wonder why have a Squidoo lens if I can build my own website? After all, Squidoo takes away half of the commissions that you earn from your lens…
Well, there are several advantages that Squidoo has, over a having your own web site.
Unless you are a HTML expert or you build web sites for a living, or you have a team of web site programmers at your beck and call, building your own website can be quite dreadful and taxing… You have to deal with the HTML yourself, make sure everything works and do tons and tons of testing.
If you have the time and money to invest or you simply enjoy the process of building one, I gladly encourage you to go down that path. Otherwise, Squidoo lenses are the way to go!
Making a Squidoo lens can take as fast as a couple of minutes! If you haven’t created a lens, you should do one and you’ll see that I am right. All you have to do to create a lens is choose from the list of features. This includes text boxes, picture frames, ads, or comments boxes and much more!
Drag them around and piece them together on your lens. Then click Publish and voila! You’ve got an official mini web site on Squidoo! Of course it takes some time to get experienced and know the right things to do on your lens, but what I’m saying is that Squidoo is so user-friendly that even a 10-year old can make one.
Another reason why Squidoo beats building you own website hands down is because it has an excellent ranking on search engines. Why? Simply because hundreds of thousands (if not more) of people are visiting Squidoo everyday! This means that if you put a lens on Squidoo, chances are, you have a higher possibility of getting seen and heard as compared to building a website from scratch.
Your lens are more likely to be ranked higher and faster by search engines than if you stick it out on your own.
Besides, you can have as many lenses as you want and link them to one another. Imagine the amount of traffic you will get from your network of lenses!
One other reason why you should really get a Squidoo lens is that it is a tool that brings people together. What makes Squidoo unique is that these lenses bring people together to converse with one another and having discussions on all kinds of topics. What makes Squidoo successful is not the high rankings or money earned, but the lens builders, peope like you and me, who make Squidoo lenses, that gives Squidoo its uniqueness and popularity!
