Promote Your Squidoo Lenses With Feedburner

FeedBurner makes it possible to add some HTML code to any Squidoo Module where HTML code is permitted and to display a rotating headline of 5 of your lenses [actually the last 5 feeds created in your FeedBurner account].

What will you need in order to do this?

1. A Squidoo Account - you know that Squidoo Accounts are free.
2. A FeedBurner Account - FeedBurner Accounts are free also.

In your FeedBurner Account in the “Burn A Feed” box, you would enter this URL:

“http://www.squidoo.com/xml/syndicate_lensmaster/USERNAME“  Where USERNAME is the name you chose when you created your Squidoo account.  Remember not to include the Quotation Marks when you enter the URL.

After your feed has been created, choose the “Publicize” tab and then select “Headline Animator”.  There are numerous options that you can choose to vary the look of the box that you see above.  The only thing I did was to change the name that appears in green.  But, feel free to play with it all you want.

When you have your FeedBurner “Headline Animator” looking the way you want, click on the “Activate” button at the bottom of the page.  The next page will contain a drop down box - where you can choose to get HTML to post in your Squidoo Module.  Just copy and paste the HTML code provided and place where you would like the box to appear.

Hopefully, I have given enough explanation to enable you to copy what I have done.  If not, just leave me a comment and I will answer your questions on this blog post.

PS.  While you are here, check out my lenses for sale section and shoot me an email if you would like to own one of these lenses.
