I have only just discovered Squidoo and all of its joys in the last six weeks. Squidoo has made a believer out of me.

Anyone can build their first lens in only minutes. A lens is a cute name for a Squidoo web page. Filling in your lens the way you want will take longer but your lens can be created titled and indexed by Google very quickly.

I have created free websites and blogs several times none are so easy and quick as is Squidoo. After sign up a lens is created in just 4 easy steps done by asking you questions.

1. What is your lens about? This will be your lens title upon creation and can be edited later.

2. What is the goal of your lens? Tick one.

3. Pick your URL! Be sure this cannot be changed!

4. Enter 3 keywords optional. You can add up to 40 later. Click on build my lens. Done! Your lens will open on your computer screen.

When you first see your lens there will be a module for the lens title at the very top. Click the edit title button fill it in however you wish. This module already contains your entry for what your lens is about. Click save.

Next is the Introduction module. Write a short intro about your lens. Inside the introduction module is a table of contents tab. Click the tab answer a question or two and your table of contents is created. The table of contents will be added to automatically each time you create a new module, click save. There is also a guest book created down near the bottom automatically.

The next module down is a text-write module. Click edit add your text click save. The text-write module will allow you up to 10,000 characters. Should you require more space add another text-write module. Each text module offers a headline title, subtitle and description before entering your post.

The next modules you see are money modules like eBay, Amazon, Netflix. Click edit on each profit module and pick the options you want displayed on your lens. Instant monetization is accomplished. Each money module is auto added to your table of contents.

You are able if you choose to delete any module including the money modules just click the X beside the edit button. What profit modules you wish to you use or not use are your choice.

Squidoo is based on modules, dozens and dozens of modules are available. Open every module by clicking the edit button top right of each module. Add contents, text, pictures or whatever the module asks for then click save.

Click on add modules at the top or pick from the side bar to see and add additional modules to your lens. The order in which modules appear aside from the title module and intro module are up to you. You can drag and drop them in any order on the pages sidebar.

You can pick and add text link modules so you can link to other sites, affiliate programs etc etc.

Add video and picture modules yours or from Youtube, Flickr. The list of possible modules seems endless.

Once the title module, introduction module, text-write module and if memory serves correctly one other module profit or otherwise is filled out you can then publish your page. Click the big orange publish button at the top of the page to do this.

Really by knowing the title and having an intro pre- written along with your first text entry you really can create lens in ten minutes using copy and paste for the intro and text modules. It is exactly that easy.

Another really great feature is the vast majority of S.E.O is done for you. The modules are designed with S.E.O in mind. It works really great.

How well does Squidoo work? The first lens I created went to first page first position in Google search results in just over three weeks. With out buying ads or placing ads either. Just a handful of articles. So it works and it works well.

If you're new at this. Squidoo should be your next stop. If you're not new its a great and free spot to check out those niche markets before dropping big bucks on a niche campaign. The ways to use and profit from squidoo are as endless as the modules.
