Have you looked at the Squidoo Top 100? If you haven’t yet, you should. The reason is this – the Squidoo Top 100 reveals that top lenses have very little to do with what topic they’re about, and lots to do with how well-created they are.

What does this mean? It means that you need to spend some time, thought and energy in creating a really eye-catching lens that holds the viewer’s interest once their eye is caught!

With the Squidoo Top 100, diversity rules. You won’t find that most of the lenses are about the same general subject matter, so if you have an idea for a lens, but you’re hesitant because you think it’s a little offbeat, don’t worry.

You can create that offbeat lens and make it into the type of lens that gets to the top 100 list, and of course, that’s where everyone wants to be. I’m on there right now with my infant baby snail costume lens – who knew?

Here are some quick tips for making a top 100 lens: use graphics and images, add in polls and discussion modules, and invite comments (encourage viewer participation), review your favorite books, etc. related to your topic (add links for sales), and always keep it fresh – freshen your lens regularly!

Browse the Squidoo Top 100 List here: http://www.squidoo.com/browse/top_lenses and you’ll see topics like Halloween Songs, Stuffed Cabbage (!), Dog Medicine Side Effects, Foot Tattoos, How to Donate Your Hair and much, much more!

Keep on top of your lens, and your lens will end up in the Squidoo Top 100.
