Earlier, we briefly mentioned the biography, which most people actually hate filling out. Luckily, for those who hate it, Squidoo doesn’t require much. You need to type something into the box that appears next to your picture. You can be brief, or you can go into more detail.
For those of you who like the biography part, you will be disappointed in the amount of space that Squidoo allows for this. You can, however, use the introduction section for more information, and if this isn’t enough, add a text/write module below that for more space.
The biography is important. Who are you? What makes you an expert on this topic? This is where you start to build credibility, and the more information that you are willing to provide, the better off your Squidoo lens will be.
Again, the biography section is really easy to overlook, because Squidoo doesn’t make it a priority like social networking sites. You must remember that Squidoo isn’t like any other social networking site.
For the most part, writing a bit for your biography is actually the largest amount of writing that you will do for your Squidoo lens. Therefore, you can afford to put more time and effort into this activity when you are setting up your lens. The rest of the work is mostly just writing titles, subtitles, and descriptions, and clicking little circles to make selections.
Don’t make the biography harder than it has to be. Most people aren’t going to visit your lens to learn more about you – they will visit to learn more about your topic. However, if they are thinking about purchasing something from you, they will want to know more about you – and this is why it is important to have something there for them to read.
It isn’t as complicated as setting up a MySpace biography. Nobody cares who your hero is or what your favorite movies are. Make your biography stick to the topic, and it will not only be easier for you to do, but your visitors will find that it is perfectly acceptable. They don’t care if you are married, what your dogs name is, or anything else. They care about the topic – so your bio needs to be ‘on topic.’
Again, just give basic information. You can post a quote for the bio section, as long as it is your own quote. You can be very basic, just make sure that you are being very honest as well, and of course, make sure that you do indeed put something there for your bio!
