Being passionate about what you write about is definitely what makes you stand out as a writer and on Squidoo. I think it is no coincidence that my two most successful lenses are the ones I wrote about each of my younger daughters as we sorted out the bullying one was suffering and got help for the condition that the other one has.

I wrote about our personal experience as we overcame the problems and then used the knowledge we learned to help others. A key ingredient for a successful lens.

Now I think one of the lenses needs to be split – but I am hesitating because it gets a lot of Google traffic and I sometimes wonder abot the old adage: “If it aint broke, dont fix it”!

it is definitely the passion that drives a person to keep on writing and improve on the lens…..

those without passion will fizzle out sooner or later

good to diversify into many niches but problem is I dont have so much time!!!

This is great advice… providing more with less and focusing on your passion. Mine is military history, photography and seeking out those nuggets of information that people have forgotten about or didn’t know.
It’s an ongoing mission of “Preserving the memories so others will remember…” ™

Without a doubt, if you don’t have passion about your subject matter, you are going to get a very dry read. It’s discouraging to see what you thought was a good idea, turn up to have ZERO traffic.

With a little more research, you can turn even a bad subject into something interesting, but there is nothing like having a passion for your lens or website. You can tell the ones who don’t!!

[...] Giant Squid Community Showcase took the opposite position some time later: Finding your niche within a niche. Like we’d all love to think: writing about your passion will get your traffic and sales. [...]

I really like the niche within a niche idea for creating more lenses and even possible income.

If you use the niche within a niche method and create a few different lenses on a single topic, does this affect your ranking in a positive way or do you create your own group of lenses on a single “broad” niche.
