Take a look on other lenses on Squidoo before you set up your own. When you are ready to set up your own lens, click on the Make A Lens box and begin. To begin with you will have to explain what your intentions for the lens are. Then you pick a category that you would like your lens to fall under and will fill in the URL for your website next. Add some key search words for your lens and fill out your profile.

Squidoo calls the pages lenses because each is to focus on something that is important to the creator. It is believed that about 500 thousand people go to the site every day. All these people could become buyers of your service or product. You are asked to fill out the first module which is an introduction to you and your subject, once you start your lens. You then have the option to set up a guestbook for visitors and a section to link to similar sites. With Squiddoo you even get access to making money because you can suggest other products related to your own, you then get a commission for every purchase. All that is left to do is click on the publish button and watch your Squidoo lens do your work.
