Personal Product Reviews on Squidoo
January 6th, 2010
I’ve noticed that a lot of you are creating product review lenses for Amazon.com products and as a Giant Squid Organizer and the Giant Squid Mentor, I thought I’d share some of my own ideas on the topic.
First off, I think this is a great idea. People love to get real, personal reviews of the products they are about to spend good money on, but in order to create Giant Squid Quality personal product reviews you need to keep a few things in mind while creating these lenses.
- Be sure your review is really personal. Share a personal story about the product and why you recommend it. Have you used the product? Know someone else who did? Share good, true, personalized reasons why you chose this product over another one.
- Choose Products that you know and love. People can see passion, or complacency, in your writing. If you really know and love a product, your writing will ring true and encourage a sale much quicker than if you’re just writing something trying to make a quick buck.
- Be Creative! Make sure your review lens contains your own personal touch. Giant Squids don’t build cookie-cutter lenses. Giant Squids use their imaginations to create mini masterpieces with their lenses.
On another note, Squidoo.com allows us to build web pages, free of charge, and part of the monies collected are automatically donated to charity. I think that using the Amazon modules provided by Squidoo, over our own affiliate links, is a great way to give back to the community while also keeping the spirit of charity alive and well on Squidoo.
