A Few More Pages In My Lego Niche

The latest pages in my Star Wars Lego niche are:

Lego Starfighter
Star Wars Lego A Wing
Lego Clone
Clone Troopers Battle Pack

With an increasing number of pages in this niche I am able to make lots of links between them and hopefully they will do well in the run up to Christmas.

Adding More Pages To A Niche

A few months ago I began making squidoo lenses about Star Wars Lego. Quite frankly I wanted to buy it all myself but I was restrained and built web pages to try and earn some money from selling these Lego sets. So far I have sold a few and with Christmas approaching I made lots more – I always believe in having lots of pages in a niche!

Squidoo
Clone Troopers Battle Packs
Lego Wampa
Stormtrooper Legos
Star Wars Lego Bounty Hunters
Republic Frigate Lego
Lego Quinlan Vos
Lego Savage Opress
Plo Koon Lego
Eeth Koth Lego
Star Wars 2011 Lego Sets

Wizzley
Lego Jawas
Aurra Sing Lego

Hubpages
Asajj Ventress Lego
Lego Embo
Plo Koon Lego Starfighter

As you can see, I have been busy. The more pages in a niche that you have, the more chance of someone finding them and buying something!

Back To What Works

By far my best performing niche is Dr Seuss. My pages themed on Dr Seuss books, characters and products are working for me far better than anything else I do so I went back to this subject and made some more pages;

Wizzley
Dr Seuss Wall Stickers
Dr Seuss Party Hats
Green Eggs and Ham Pajamas

Hubpages
Cat in the Hat Stickers
Green Eggs and Ham Clothing
Green Eggs and Ham Books

Squidoo
Dr Seuss Pajamas

I hope you enjoy them!

Have You Read The Iznogoud Books?

Iznogoud is the main character in a series of cartoon books created by the French pair Rene Goscinny and Jean Tabary. Iznogoud is the evil Grand Vizier to the court of the beloved Caliph of Baghdad and spends every story attempting to dethrone him.

As a child I was a great fan of the Asterix Books which were also written by Goscinny, and I had a few Iznogoud Books but they got lost!

A few years ago Cinebooks began to publish new versions of the Iznogoud series, and I have been buying them as they are released. They are as funny as I remember them!

Some time ago I created a page on Squidoo about the Iznogoud Books. But, more recently I have created some more pages on other publishing platforms (Hubpages & Wizzley) to support my Squidoo page as I have had quite a lot of success using this strategy in the past. Here are my new Iznogoud pages;

Iznogoud 1; The Wicked Wiles of Iznogoud
Iznogoud 2; The Caliph’s Vacation
Iznogoud 3; The Day of Misrule

More Star Wars Legos

I have been having fun browsing all the Star Wars Legos available and making pages about them. I have been wishing that they had been around when I was a child, but then I noticed that most of the reviews were being done by adults, so maybe I am not too old yet.

Squidoo
Mandalorian Legos
Hoth Legos

Hubpages
Bossk Lego
Ki Adi Mundi Lego
Lego Slave 1

May the Force be with you.

Back to Squidoo

As it seems that getting a Squidoo lens high up google and making money from it is much easier than any other publishing platform I have come across I am back to focusing my attention on Squidoo.

So, I have put quite some effort into making a couple of lenses;

Ewok Legos

Droid Legos

I must confess to having had some fun with these as I have always been a fan of star wars and lego.

More Work on a Variety of Sites

In a continuing effort to spread myself around the internet, I have made some more pages on a variety of sites.

Here are some recent ones

Squidoo
Jedi Legos

Hubpages
Monty Python and the Holy Grail Gifts
Fox in Socks

Triond
How to make Coloring Pages
How to Save Time in The Classroom by Using the Right Pencil

Some Photos on Redgage
Small Tortoiseshell Butterfly
Bangkok at Night

Spreading It Around

Others have mentioned it and I have become aware that I am rather too dependent on Squidoo for making money online.

In an effort to begin to correct that, and to make further links to my pages, I have recently created pages and written articles on other sites.

Firstly, some new Squidoo pages
Darth Vader Legos
Cat In The Hat Game

Now for some Hubpages
Dark Vader T Shirt
Bird Clocks with Sound
Bangkok Transport
Trojan Rabbit

And Some Articles on Triond
Stuck In A Bangkok Traffic Jam
A Big Difference Between Eastern and Western Cultures

And A few Photos on Redgage
Orange Tip Butterfly
Comma Butterfly
Green Dragontail Butterfly

Hope others out there are able to make good use of other sites too.

Its Difficult Keeping All The Lenses Updated!

Today I managed to publish a new lens – The Knights of Ni – about characters from the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail, an obsession I inherited from my father.

However, all my other lenses seem to need some attention in some shape or form.

Bangkok Photo Album – needed a lot of attention as the images kept disappearing due to bandwidth being exceeded. Problem solved.

Animal Trump Card Game – required the pictures of the cards to be reformatted. Done.

Infant Onesies – Dr Seuss Collection – required a lot of products to be deleted and new ones to be displayed due to some items being sold out and new ones appearing.

This lot has kept me busy for now but there is a lot more to do to keep the quality of my lenses up.

Two Old Lenses & A New One

I have been spending more time doing that all important task of improving old lenses. It is amazing how many improvements can be made with the benefit of experience;

Yertle The Turtle

My Favourite Birds of Thailand

However, I have also been in the business of making some new lenses. Some are not really finished yet but this one is and it is an experiment with a subject that is totally new to me;
