Let’s Do a Module Breakdown… The Write/Text Module
Squidoo’s always changing things up module-wise. But let’s talk about each module and see how I feel you can maximize your use of them when it comes to marketing and making money online.
The Write/Text module is of course, a staple for every lens (or it oughta be). You have one built into your lens in the form of an introduction module, but you need to add more (I never add less than 2 more along with other modules before I publish).
Here’s an example of a Text/Write module:
If you’re only going to use the single, built in image option, then keep your module short - like the one above. If it goes any longer, upload an image to your server and use HTML code to insert a left-aligned image halfway down the content. You’ll notice in the above image, I’ve included the standard photo option, but I also have bolded text and hyperlinked text (to a ClickBank product). I used basic HTML code to do that as well.
What else can you do with a Text/Write module?
You can use the space to hyperlink an image of your opt in box to your landing or squeeze page. I do this on my lens at Information Entrepreneur. We used to be able to have iFrame in there to actually capture the name and email addresses, but it doesn’t work like that anymore.
Here are the codes you can use in your Text/Write modules (make sure you change the brackets [] to arrows <> in all of these examples):
To hyperlink text to a website: [a href="http://www.yourdomain.com" target="_blank"]Text you want hyperlinked[/a]
To hyperlink an image (like an opt in box): [a href="http://www.yourdomain.com"][img src="http://www.URLofImage.JPG" alt="keyword" align="right" hspace="5" /][/a] - Now on this one, the alt tag can be whatever keyword the image represents (or the niche). You can change the alignment to left if you want it on the left side of the Text module. And you can play with the hspace until it’s as big or small as you want it - this is the space between the picture and the text that wraps around it.
Other codes you need to know: [b]bold[/] or [i]italics[/] or [u]underline[/u]
Take time making your text module attractive and not so monotonous. Break it up with links, images, and fonts that keep the flow of reading moving.
Enjoy!
