Dear Webmaster:

Having a web presence is very important in this day and age. Blogs are necessary, but you need more than just a blog to drive the kind of traffic I am talking about here!

My favorite way to make a quick and professional looking page - on any subject - is to build a "Squidoo Lens". That is what Squidoo calls their pages. Once you start creating lenses you become a "Lens Master".

Probably the best thing about Squidoo (in my opinion) is that it is truly designed for the non-savvy site builder while at the same time offering you options to customize your lens using HTML. This ensures that anybody can enjoy setting up their own Lens.

With traffic becoming more important than ever, you need to find a way to pull more targeted visitors to your website! Using a blog is great, but adding a lens to your arsenal of traffic weapons is critical! Why is a lens so important?

Everyone is an expert on something, and Squidoo offers you the chance to show off your expertise on a professional looking page in just a few minutes.  Your page is instantly available on the Internet as soon as you click the publish button. And the search engine spiders will index a lens faster than you can get out the raid! You can set up as many lenses as you want absolutely free. That means links pointing to your product page or your blog in minutes!

But the fun doesn't stop there.

Squidoo offers you a huge number of ways to monetize your site. When you set these methods up Squidoo will share the revenue generated with you. You can also donate some or all of your earnings to charity. Imagine getting paid for advertising! What a cool idea!

Squidoo adds a lot of functionality to your page by using "Modules". You simply add the module to your page with a single click and fill out the information required by that module. It's as simple as that.

This 4 part 54 minute video series takes you step by step through the whole process of creating a lens. I sign up for a new account and create a great looking lens right in front of your eyes.
