Cruising Along & Wham I Hit A Telephone Pole
Hello WA!
I'm learning so much here and I'm trying to implement everything I'm learning, you know "Take Action" so I get the hang of things and understand what I'm reading.
I started out my journey with PotPieGirl's The Dam Way. Once I finished I thought I'm ready for the next step so I bought her One Week Marketing course. I'm cruising along each day doing my thing making lenses, publishing lenses, submitting my RSS feed for each lens, writing articles, etc. By this point I'm thinking to myself I'm getting better and better, you know really feeling proud of myself and then Wham I hit a telephone pole. I became part of the SquidU forum and asked for constructive criticism well I got it. The thing is I'm not sure if I'm doing everything wrong instead of right and the criticism comment is correct or if I should go about my day the way I have been. This is where all of you come in, I need to know from my fellow WA'ers what you think.
Criticism
Comment: It's common practice on Squidoo
to only ask for critique on one lens at a time. So I'll critique the first you
mentioned. Because the first 4 are so similar, I checked them all out.
It's clear you're only on Squidoo to promote your
site. The four lenses are different enough not to get flagged as duplicate
content by me - but similar enough that you need to do some serious improvement
to get anyone to give them the thumbs up.
It would be nice if you would give at least one
actual skin care tip on each lens. And I don't mean cleanse, tone, moisterize.
On one lens you might want to explain what cleansing is. On another what toning
is, and on the third what moisterizing is. Give us a tip on how to cleanse our
face and hands naturally. The same with toning and moisterizing.
In fact - a whole lens on each topic would
be good, far more useful than three nearly the same lenses with no information
beyond a link. I'd rename each lens to something including the word you're
targeting. For instance: "Cleansing: DIY natural skincare"
To make some money out of it, you can feature the
product you're recommending from Amazon, using the Amazon Spotlight module for
instance.
I did like the comment about adding tips, but I honestly thought the whole process of the lenses was for them to be similar in nature and link them all back to one another.
Please, Please, Please let me know what you think I should do.
These are my lenses. Thanks!
