A Treasure Chest of Squidoo Writing Ideas to Help You Reach Top Tiers

Your own experience is a treasure chest. Open it to discover the wealth that is hidden inside!

Yesterday I was talking to a new lensmaster who wanted his Squidoo lenses to do better and make more money. He was making a mistake that is very common among new writers and chosing topics that were very broad. He was having trouble because those topics have a lot of competition and he was not getting traffic.

I suggested rather than try to appeal to a broad base of people, that he narrow his writing topics to his own experiences. This lensmaster is from a part of the world I have always found fascinating but never had the chance to visit. I would love for this gentleman to write about his neighborhood, the people he knows, the recipes his mother and grandmother cooked for him, his life as a school child, his first job, how he met his wife. These topics are winners on Squidoo, but too often overlooked by new writers who underestimate their appeal.

I would like to share with you my top performing Squidoo lenses and how I got the idea to write about each one. None of these lenses developed out of a desire to figure out which topic would make the most money. Although I do want to make money. I absolutely do! Trying to calculate a financial winner for some reason does not work. I hope to show that what does work is writing from your own personal experience.

Here are my top lenses and how I got the ideas to write them! All of these lenses are currently either in Tier One or Two. I hope by sharing them with you it will help you examine your own experiences to get some fresh ideas for your lenses!
