How to add fresh content to a Squidoo Lens

How To Add Fresh Content To A Squidoo Lens

One way to overcome this problem, is to add a RSS module from your Blog (if you have one) or any other suitable RSS feed to your lens.
This way you will get fresh content automatically with out you doing anything, as soon as you update your Blog, because it will update your lens at the same time.

This is not hard to do, in fact it can be done in 4 easy steps, and it will only take you a matter of minutes to do.


Step 1 : Access RSS Feed URL.

First you need to get the RSS feed URL, either from your Blog or whichever RSS feed that you want to display, in my case, it was to my Blog, ( how-2b-debtfree.blogspot.com)
Locate the RSS Feed icon, when you press that it will take you to the RSS feed page and give you the correct URL which you will need to add to the lens

Step 2 : Log on to Squidoo Dashboard.

Log on to your Squidoo account and go to your dashboard, while you are on you! r dashboard have a look at moving some of the modules around, especially if a new module looks more interesting. Remember the 10-second rule - you need to hold a visitor's attention for those crucial 10 seconds.

Step 3 : Find RSS Module.

Go to the section with "re-order modules" and add the RSS module to your lens, if the RSS module is not displayed in any of the categories, you can just enter in the words and do a search, you will then be able to see it.

Once this has been ordered you can just drag and drop the module into the correct space on your Lens

Step 4 : Give Your RSS Module a name.

The Module will now be ready to be edited with your own information.
Give your RSS a module a title, like your Blogs name etc

Give your module a subtitle (optional) you can add anything here, have a look what it looks like, you can always go back and edit it again.

Give your module a description (optional) again you can b! e creative, if you don't like what you have entered, just dele! te it la ter on.

Now it is time to enter the RSS feed URL that you got in step 1.

There are a few other options that you can add, play around and see what suits you.

Another great option that you can add to your lens that will give you not only fresh content, but also some extra money, is to add a Clickbank Feed to your Lens

This is also a very simple task,

Step 1 : Go to RSS Feeds Generator.

Go to rssfeedsgenerator.com, there are a few various options like Amazon, eBay etc, look for the Clickbank Feed.

As this is the free version you are limited to two categories only, choose the category that will best suit your lens.

Enter your keywords, Clickbank ID, name and email address and press generate, after you complete all the required fields, you will be taken to the page with the RSS Feed URL.

Step 2 : Add Feed to Lens.

Now all that you have to do is enter the Clickbank Feed URL on to a new Squidoo RSS ! module like before.

Conclusion.

Now that only will you be able to make your lens more interesting, you will also be updating it automatically with fresh content from your Blog.
If your Blog posts are keyword rich your lens should also get a good boost in SEO ranking, and by adding a Clickbank RSS feed you can promote some excellent Clickbank products on you lens
