Lensmaster lisadh Interview


Squidoo Lens Reviews: What makes you passionate about Squidoo.com?


lisadh: It’s fun! I think it's one of the best publishing platforms on the web because you're not limited to simply writing text. Being able to add videos from YouTube, products from Amazon and eBay, info from Wikipedia, your own HTML, etc. makes it much more interesting than other places to write articles. And I really, really love the fact that part of the profit goes to charity.


Squidoo Lens Reviews: Is Squidoo perfect already or what could make it better?


lisadh: It's pretty good, but I’d love to see a dashboard warning that tells you when you have a dead link on one of your lenses.


Squidoo Lens Reviews: What inspires you to make a new lens?


lisadh: Almost anything! I get ideas from reading the news, talking with friends, surfing the web, and everyday living.


Squidoo Lens Reviews: How many lenses do you have?


lisadh: 142 lenses and counting! [Yep. Definitely counting — 164 as of this post!]


Squidoo Lens Reviews: What is your most popular lens?


lisadh: For a long time it was Women Presidents and Prime Ministers, but that became much less popular after the November elections. Right now my most popular is Elf Yourself, Become an M&M or Turn into a Simpsons Character.


Squidoo Lens Reviews: What one sentence or one word describes your success?


lisadh: Keywords. When I build a lens, I always use the Google keyword tool to see what words people are searching for that are related to my topic.


Squidoo Lens Reviews: What should a newbie do first?


lisadh: Read some “how to” lenses on the Answer Deck and visit a variety of lenses in the top 100 of each category to see what makes a good lens.


Squidoo Lens Reviews: Which of your lenses do you want to make sure the whole world knows about?


lisadh: All of them! J


Ok, if I have to pick just one it would be What Is Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)?
I know someone with this condition, which used to be called multiple personality disorder, so this lens is near and dear to my heart. It’s definitely one of my most serious lenses, but also one of my best (IMHO).
