Hi Diloris,

Here is my opinion. It may not be right, only my opinion from what I have learned and read. I do not own a lens.

I think this is one of those situations where if you got in early, did all the right things, built some rep, etc. it worked well. Then the scammers and spammers got wind and Google slapped it down and the rules at Squidoo became stricter.

And now it's not as good, especially for someone just starting out because it is overrun with too many people trying to use it to game the system or pros that know how to optimize it better than any newbie could.

There are lots of other similar opportunities out there and I would be on the lookout for ones as good or better that have not yet become abused and over used.

That's not to say I would not create a lens. That may be one of the options I would try, I just think it's not an amazing opp like it once was if you are just trying to get started with a lens now as a newbie.
