I'll do that. I have a lot to learn. I just made another lens last night. <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/poetscorner." rel="nofollow">http://www.squidoo.com/poetscorner.</a> For awhile I felt brain-dead when it came to getting ideas for lenses. Lately, though, an idea pops into my head and I think, I could do a lens on that. Am I addicted? LOL</p> <p>Ken </p> http://osirockstars.com/topic.php?id=1018#post-8316 Tue, 17 Mar 2009 18:51:01 +0000 savvy-seller 8316@http://osirockstars.com/ <p>Hi Ken -<br /> Great job on your lenses! You have a lot of information there. </p> <p>I guess my only thought was that it might be nice to have some text in there from you - like your favorite restaurants, places, things to do. It might tie all the modules together and give the lens a personal touch.</p> <p>They do look great though! ;-)</p> <p>Marlene </p> http://osirockstars.com/topic.php?id=1018#post-8289 Sat, 14 Mar 2009 04:45:14 +0000 Powerseller_Wannabe 8289@http://osirockstars.com/ <p>I tried making an eBay lens awhile ago, but couldn't get motivated. I kept thinking, "there are hundreds, maybe thousands of lens' about ebay, nobody will find mine, so why bother." It's still out there, unfinished.</p> <p>But then the other day I saw a link to a new Squidoo feature for building a lens about a place...my town, my ZIP code! Now that was something I could do and not have a lot of competition.</p> <p>So take a look and let me know what you think.<br /> <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/07856/mountarlingtonnj" rel="nofollow">http://www.squidoo.com/07856/mountarlingtonnj</a><br /> <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/08260/thewildwoodsnj" rel="nofollow">http://www.squidoo.com/08260/thewildwoodsnj</a></p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Ken<br /> <a href="http://stores.shop.ebay.com/Your-Information-Headquarters?refid=store">Your Information Headquarters</a><br /> <a href="http://stores.shop.ebay.com/Your-Nations-Attic?refid=store">Your Nations Attic</a> </p> http://osirockstars.com/topic.php?id=1011#post-8268 Thu, 12 Mar 2009 06:21:04 +0000 CozyDaisy 8268@http://osirockstars.com/ <p>Thanks so much for your comments. My project for today is to try to get a handle on the affiliate linking etc. and hopefully understand how to make $$$...fun is good, money makes it better! (lol)</p> <p>Thanks for the link Marlene. I am off to check it out now. :)</p> <p>Hugs,<br /> Ginny<br /> <a href="http://www.cozydaisy.com">Cozy Daisy </a> </p> http://osirockstars.com/topic.php?id=1011#post-8246 Wed, 11 Mar 2009 14:07:41 +0000 TuNickels 8246@http://osirockstars.com/ <p>Fantasic lens Ginny! I just left a comment for you. I'm still new and will have to look into Squidoo. </p> <p>Love the mugs you have by the way, they are too cute for words.</p> <p>Looks like you're already up to a 94 ranking and rising!</p> <p>Mary </p> http://osirockstars.com/topic.php?id=1011#post-8244 Wed, 11 Mar 2009 10:13:19 +0000 bienleindesign 8244@http://osirockstars.com/ <p>Ginny,</p> <p>I also just left a comment on your lens. Really nice job! I'm new to Squidoo myself and learning as I plod along. I just did my 4th lens.</p> <p>Mary... I have a question for you...you brought up Amazon affiliate. I don't think I have that yet so will do that. I understand how to sign up but how do I put that information on Squidoo itself? Can you do that with CafePress, Netflix, Obitz too?</p> <p>Thanks!<br /> Brenda B </p> http://osirockstars.com/topic.php?id=1011#post-8242 Wed, 11 Mar 2009 06:41:09 +0000 savvy-seller 8242@http://osirockstars.com/ <p>Ginny -<br /> Your lens is awesome and its ranking is excellent. An amazing job for anyone, let alone your 1st lens.</p> <p>Not sure if you had time to find this but there is a whole Rock Star forum dedicated just to Squidoo. It's <a href="http://osirockstars.com/forum.php?id=18"> here</a>. Lots of info there!</p> <p>Keep up the great work!</p> <p>Marlene </p> http://osirockstars.com/topic.php?id=1011#post-8226 Tue, 10 Mar 2009 10:28:19 +0000 CozyDaisy 8226@http://osirockstars.com/ <p>Thank you so much! Wow, really....Thank you, I appreciate the kind words!</p> <p>I didn't know I was number 161...I guess that is good, right? I am truly brand spanking new at Squidoo and haven't really spent a lot of time reading up on it (it is on my list though). </p> <p>I am an affiliate with Amazon and eBay but I do not know how to set up everything yet. Opps, I probably got ahead of myself. I should have learned to do all the affiliate links first then make my lens. Oh, well I sure had a lot of fun making it! lol! Now, I'll need to go back and figure out the $ part! </p> <p>Thanks again Mary!</p> <p>Ginny<br /> <a href="http://stores.shop.ebay.com/Cozy-Daisy__W0QQ_armrsZ1?refid=store">Cozy Daisy</a> </p> http://osirockstars.com/topic.php?id=1011#post-8223 Tue, 10 Mar 2009 08:43:02 +0000 chloeev 8223@http://osirockstars.com/ <p>I did go to your Lens, if that is your first Lens...Wow! I look forward to more from you! </p> <p>What I like, I can identify with the morning person idea. I am definitely a night person. To wake up to the great, funny mugs would be a riot..Helps get you on track!</p> <p>I commented, Facebooked and Twittered. Your Lens is already #161 in your category...did you know that?!</p> <p>I looked at your Amazon widget showing the mugs. It does not appear you are an affiliate of Amazon, or you didn't use your affiliate ID. If I were you, I would go register for an affiliate. Costs nothing, you can receive a percentage of sales when someone clicks through to Amazon and buys. Right now, the clicks take you to someone else's mugs. I wouldn't buy from them, why help the competition?!</p> <p>Great job! I really like your writing style. I think everyone can relate!</p> <p>Oh, and make sure to use your store link in your posts! Your posts here on OSI do get picked up by Google. I just know you want everyone to see your store name!<br /> I you are uncertain how to use the code, look at the bottom of the Reply box when posting. It gives you the code needed to post your store with your signature!</p> <p>You are a Rockin' Daisy!</p> <p>Mary<br /> <a href="http://stores.ebay.com/Drei-Katzen-Media?refid=store">Drei Katzen Media</a> </p> http://osirockstars.com/topic.php?id=1011#post-8221 Tue, 10 Mar 2009 07:59:16 +0000 CozyDaisy 8221@http://osirockstars.com/ <p>I opened Squidoo for the first time on Saturday and made my first lens.

I love the insights you share, especially with regards to your children who are able to hear. I posted a comment.

It was under 10,00 for the rest of Sept, then dipped to 50k, and now is back up. It was LOTD on Aug 27th.<br /> My sarah palin lens was around #163 for all of Aug, and Sept. It remained below 10,000 thru October. It was created Aug 29th.<br /> I know that starting # can cause havoc in the first month, but that lens was high ranked for most of Sept and I only received pennies for it as well.( $1.76) there were over 500 hits in first few days. It's been emailed over 48 times. Now, it's over 100,0000, since the election. </p> http://osirockstars.com/topic.php?id=595&page=2#post-7375 Wed, 10 Dec 2008 15:03:05 +0000 katiyana 7375@http://osirockstars.com/ <p>When exactly was it LOTD &#38; up as high as #24?
