Lensmaster The_Homeopath Interview

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


The_Homeopath: Squidoo is a wonderful outlet for all of my varied interests. Blogs and websites are really limited in the sense that readers are only interested in a single topic. With Squidoo, I have the freedom to write about pretty much anything. Unlike many lensmasters, I also keep all of my lenses under one account rather than different usernames for different topics. I don't know if it's the most advantageous way to go about it, but it works for me and I do get the impression that people can see from viewing my profile that I'm passionate about different kinds of things and not shy about exposing them.


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


The_Homeopath: That is a very difficult question to answer. I do think that Squidoo is pretty darn perfect the way it is and I'm very impressed with the way HQ goes about continuing to seek ways of improving the platform for useability. I do sometimes wish I had a magic wand to wave to get rid of some of the crappier/spammier type lenses. The problem is that Squidoo is so perfect, everyone wants a piece of the calamari and not all of them for the most savory reasons.


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


The_Homeopath: At the moment, it's just whatever strikes my fancy. It also has a bit to do with timing - my newest lens is Olivia. This book series has always been a favorite of my kiddos and I and I had previously featured Mr. Falconer's work on my Fun Kids Books lens. After several years, Olivia is finally making the jump to starring in an animated television series, so it just seemed logical that she should get her very own lens.


Squidoo Lens Reviews: How many lenses do you have?


The_Homeopath: 148 published lenses and 11 WIP.


Squidoo Lens Reviews: What is your most popular lens?


The_Homeopath: It really varies. Depending on the phase of the moon and barametric pressure I think, but I have about 5 or 6 lenses in the Family category that are always at the top (the top of my lens collection, that is).


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


The_Homeopath: My motto: "Just keep swimming"!


Squidoo Lens Reviews: What should a newbie do first?


The_Homeopath: Read as much of the forum as possible.


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


The_Homeopath: Food Allergy Testing Because it really can change people's lives and save them a lot of pain and illness. Most people never realize that what they eat may be making them sick and it's so easy to go and get tested.
