We had an excellent Squidoo Training call with Bob Jenkins from Squidoo Secrets.

We covered a lot of topics and went through actually creating a lens.

I like HDTV so we decided to setup a lens on that topic. We tried http://www.squidoo.com/hdtv but someone already had it. So then I went to google’s keyword tool and entered in HDTV to see what came back. We tried a few of the top keywords like plasma hdtv but no luck. We settled on DLP HDTV.

You can see our Squidoo Lens on DLP HDTV here.

It took us about 15 minutes to make the lens on the call. We added an Amazon.com section and added some tvs. We put in an ebay section and linked to some ebay auctions on HDTV.

One of the things Bob pointed out that I didn’t realize was that you can have multiple Amazon.com add ons for example. So I can have one section on DLP HDTV’s. Another section on cables. Another section on accessories. This allows me to monetize my Squidoo lens better.

I also added some text sections between the amazon.com stuff to explain it better and provide a little bit of real content so people feel like I know what I’m talking about and less like I’m only trying to sell them.

Check out my DLP HDTV lens and if you like what you see make sure you check out Bob’s Squidoo Secrets. It’s a great tool for learning how and why to Squidoo.
