Like a lot of "tricks" in Squidoo, by themselves, they may not seem too useful. But use your creativity and imagination and you just might come up with some unique ways to make your lens stand out from the rest.

To create a "fake" headline in your modules, simply paste in this line of HTML.

<b style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; color: #046381; ">Your Fake Headline Text</b>

This generates the text you specified in the same font (Trebuchet), size, and color (#046381) as an "official" module headline. Try it out and see how you can put it to use (and maybe give you some ideas for other "tricks" of your own).

    Here's 30 Tips to help you promote your Squidoo Lens:

    Proper promotion is one of the keys to SquidSuccess, and here
    is a list of ways to promote your squidoo lenses.

    1. Make something worth talking about and repeating.

    2. Add unique, updated, and useful content to your lens.

    3. Add new tags to your lens. You can have up to 40.

    4. Submit your lens to one of the many lens groups, or create
    your own.

    5. Join StumbleUpon and submit your lens.

    6. Add your lens RSS feed to Zimbio and submit your lenses to
    appropriate Wikizines (Zimbio's groups).

    7. Submit your lenses to Lensroll (but only a couple a day please!)

    8. Post to social bookmarking sites such as Digg and Del.icio.us-but
    don't be spammy about it!

    9. Comment on other people's lenses with related, useful comments
    and links.

    10. Comment on related blogs with a link to your related lens.

    11. Start up your own blog, completely free, and promote your
    lenses there.

    12. Build a few lenses on the same topic and cross-promote them.

    13. Write good articles about your lens topic and submit them
    to places like ezinearticles, of course don't forget to link
    to your lens.

    14. Promote your lens on social networks like MySpace and Facebook.

    15. Put links to one or two of your lenses in your signature
    at forums you hang out at.

    16. Ask for feedback and help about your lens on SquidU.

    17. Tell your friends about your lenses.

    18. Include a link to one of your lenses in your email signature.

    19. Build your lenses around specific keywords with low competition,
    by using tools such as Google's Keyword Tool.

    20. Start up a Monkeybrain and disagree with someone about something.
    Create a (fun) controversy.

    21. Include interactive stuff in your lenses like polls, plexos,
    and guestbooks.

    22. Focus on a few things about a topic in your lens; don't try
    to include everything.

    23. Ping your lens and notify the search engines and some directories
    of its creation or change.

    24. Submit your lenses to Squidoo directories like Isle of Squid,
    Squoogle, Squidom, and LensMasterWorld.

    25. Build linkbait lenses-lenses that people find useful and
    interesting and will likely link to, thus bringing you more traffic.

    26. Improve your writing skills by taking a class at a local
    community college or something. It's worth the investment.

    27. Be original and creative about your lenses. Don't copy other
    people's work-they will hate you for it and so will the search
    engines.

    28. Edit your lenses often and add more UUU (unique, updated,
    useful) content. Can't emphasize this enough.

    29. Fill a need. Find something people want badly and build the
    bridge that takes them to it.

    30. Above all, don't spam. It pays to take the time to create
    something of quality.
