Sometimes I stumble on a lens URL and wonder why it hasn’t been taken already. Today’s lens URL was a great one – and I did another step by step, promoting 6 ClickBank and 2 Amazon products in the content.

Darn it – I forgot to put the price in today’s email. My buyer had to email me asking how much it was. I’m rattled today – I had a scammer really do a number of one of my businesses. Makes me sick to my stomach. Thousands of dollars down the drain.

Today’s lens was rich in how to steps for moms who want to blog for money. It promoted seven ClickBank products and two Amazon books.

Sometimes it’s easier to break up content into steps or top lists or whatever. This is what also makes for a great lens layout in my opinion. I guess I’m partial because I love magazines, and if you check out a publication like Women’s World Weekly, you’ll see lots of bite-sized chunks of information – makes it easy to read!

Today’s lens was for the real work at home Internet marketing newbie. It’s packed full of valuable free information on how to get started making money FAST and EASY – the two core concepts of this lens. The lens promotes 6 ClickBank products and 2 Amazon books.

Stepped away from the work at home niche again today with a lens built on a very popular topic – muscles – for both men and women! This is perfect timing because many men and women will have been losing weight after their New Year’s resolution and are now starting to see sagging. They need to tone and firm up their body.

The lens promoted 6 ClickBank products and 2 Amazon books.

If you’re interested in having a professional lens built and having a chance to grab it at a discount, sign up for the non-marketing Lens Alert List (that means lens listing only – no other marketing).

Then send me your niche topics and let me know what kind of lens you would want to buy – it doesn’t obligate you to buy it if I create it – it simply helps me learn what niches my list members are in so I can make what you might need.

Here are some ideas on what to think about for lens creations:

1.) A broad niche topic like “internet marketing.”
2.) A narrow niche topic like “Blogging for Moms”
3.) A product review lens like “Blogging to the Bank 3.0 Review”

I love lenses that give numbers – top 10 lists, 5 ways to, the 3Ps, etc. That’s what I did for today’s lens flip. I wanted to showcase 3 areas of website traffic – Paid, Published, and Perfected. This covers PPC, Article Marketing, and SEO and obviously, there are a ton of products about this on ClickBank.

Yea! Someone emailed me their niche topic – I love it when this happens because it gives me a break from the work at home, Internet marketing niche. It’s a popular one, too – arts and crafts for kids!

I had no idea there were so many ClickBank products for this niche topic – but I should have guessed because I myself have paid a few dollars for an instant download of crafts for my kids.

Here are the lens specifics:

PS – Have you checked out my latest project for social marketing junkies?

Will today be the $1,000 mark for my first 10 days of lens flipping? That will be 1/14th of my goal reached. How exciting! I hope it sells.

Today’s lens is about the top 5 online work at home job opportunities – including info product developer, affiliate marketers, network marketer, eBayer, and online service professional. So the lens layout’s a bit different but it still promotes 6 ClickBank products and 2 Amazon books.

This one was a bitch to get through the spam filters on Aweber because it specifically says the phrases “work at home” and “multi level marketing” multiple times. So I had to write it like this in my email: w.ork a.t hom.e or mul.ti leve.l marke.ting - ridiculous, but oh well - if it keeps spammers at bay from our inboxes, I’m sure willing to go the extra mile to include some dots. lol

Now the content on this lens, as you’ll notice, is shorter in each module than my other lenses. That’s because I have a top 5 list. It all averages the same approximate word count, but if I do three text modules, the articles wind up longer.

The lens alert went out at 4:35 PM and it sold at 4:54 PM to a guy who never thought he’d get one - he’s tried many times and they were always sold out.
