I'm stuck so I'm asking my fellow mylotters for ideas on what to make for my next lens. I am currently making one on home made cleaning products & will make one on folk remedies. Do you have any other ideas so I can make more lenses?

I wish I did have an idea for you but I am trying to come up with ideas for my own Squidoo lenses now. I hope someone can come with ideas.

Me too because once I finish with both of my ideas, I will only have 6 lenses :(

There are a lot of things you can write about on squidoo. There are topics about anything. You should check squidu; the forums for that. Either case, I am putting my suggestion here.
The key to success with squidoo is to write about things that you enjoy to write about.
I have plenty of ideas for lenses and I don't see anytime soon that I will be running out of them and I write on multiple sites.
I myself have multiple niches there and I started out with a couple and it has errupted in other niches at the same time. I started out with technology and star trek but that is not the only things I am writing about these days.
So here is maybe a growing list of ideas you can write about. I am not sure if you are staying within one niche or not so I just give you some ideas.
-Write about your favorite movie or tv show.
- A review of your favorite product
-Maybe write about your favorite recipie.
-Maybe write about a book that you have read.
-Write a tutorial on how to do some things.

Thanks for that, I never really thought to write about my fave movie, book or recipe... I had written down 2 ideas before posting this & have since published 1. Hopefully I'll have some brain waves like I do for mylot - I've lost count of the number of pages I have filled with ideas for here.

You will get there. I am also trekkiemelissa over there. I had originally was going to have a group for ideas over there but I ended up closing it down. I might just start up a lens with the ideas. Maybe I will restart up one of my contests which would probably help for ideas. Squidoo, you can do a lot of creative things over there.

The best thing to do is stick with "what you know". Anyone can come up with tons of ideas but you wont keep up with that lens if it's not something you enjoy doing. I know this from experience. I have tons of lens just sitting

Thanks everyone this dicussion has actually helped me get a little bit of an idea about what I could write about with Squidoo. I am a part of the site but have only wrote one so far. I am a part of some other writing sites and I have been working on those more than Squidoo. Do not get me wrong I like that site too but I have been a little stumped on how to work it. Thanks for the feedback.

I started out on squidoo, but I am also on other writing sites too. You can easily turn a lot of your articles into lenses too. I've done it and it has worked out great. In fact, you may have better quality lenses too. If you are not sure how to do something, you can ask the site mentors or people in the forums. I can even answer any questions you may have here. I've been on squidoo for 8 months now and am pretty knowledgeable of how everything works there.
