How I thought up my new Lens

Posted by Squidette on February 24, 2007

I have a domain and website about knitting. I decided today that I wanted to create a lens that would link back to that site, to send it some traffic.

I’m writing this and it’s about 24 hours until the Oscars. All the entertainment shows are building the celebrity hype. We seem to be obsessed with celebrity. So that’s where I started, Googling around with celebrity knits, celebrity knitting, pictures of celebrities knitting.

Oh, wouldn’t a picture of Julia Roberts knitting be nice. She started off the celebrity knitting thing a while back. She has babies…oh the possibilities. Julia is America’s darling…

Then I found it. Julia is producing and starring in the movie adaptation of the book “The Friday Knitting Club”, scheduled to come out sometime this year. This gives me time to add as much content as I can dredge up, be it about celebrity knitters, Julia and her babies, the “trendiness” that knitting currently claims, and so on.

On my main website, at the same time, I need to put up a page for every affiliate program I currently promote. Then I change my links on my Lens to all go back to content pages on my domain that presell the affiliate products. There, visitors also have the option of subscribing to my website, so they can be notified when there’s new content, and I can capture their email addresses.

So go visit “Friday Night Knitting Club”.
