Think very carefully about the Squidoo lens Title and Address. This is the most important part of your lens besides the tags.

You’ll want to have a theme if you are building a set of lenses. Always think “sets” when you are putting up lenses.

Build lenses in groups: camping lenses, writing short stories lenses, article writing lenses, etc. Then plan out what you want each lens to deal with.Gather your content prior to starting your lens building for a specific group.

Pick out the main affiliate program, reseller or original product you want to promote in that group. Then pick out a couple (2-3) affiliate programs that compliment your main affiliate program.

There are two types of landing pages, reference and transactional.

Reference Landing Pages

A reference landing page presents relevant information to the visitor. Reference landing pages can display text, images, dynamic compilations of relevant links, or other elements. They are effective if they meet the objectives of their publishers, which may be associations, organizations or public service entities. For many reference landing pages, effectiveness can be measured by the revenue value of the advertising that is displayed on them.

Transactional Landing Pages

PLR can be used for all sorts of things – from websites with Adsense or
other monetization, to eBooks that are bought and downloaded, to
member’s only areas, auto responder series’ and beyond. Basically, you
can create anything you like from the content you’re buying, as long as
you’re willing to shape it into that.

It takes time to develop a site from content, and though PLR speeds that
process considerably, any production of content or products that you
undertake will most likely not be simply ‘overnight’.

Maybe the idea of rewriting content around keywords for SEO purposes doesn’t sound like your cup of tea. That’s ok – you can still load PLR content up on your website or blog and pull traffic in like crazy.

How?

By “bookmarking” your site (with appropriate tags and/or in appropriate categories) on the popular social bookmarking sites. The end result is that you probably won’t get traffic from the search engines but you WILL be pulling in traffic from the high-traffic Web 2.0 sites.

Internet marketers, email marketers, and Internet entrepreneurs of all kinds are quickly finding the many, many advantages to opening a free membership site for their customers and potential customers. Even savvy and well-established Internet marketers who have paid membership sites are jumping on the freemembership site
bandwagon because they can see the obvious advantages.

Paid membership sites are most usually limited to a specific number of
members. This means that marketing is limited to that specific number. Limiting marketing possibilities is never a positive thing no mater what products or services are being promoted.
