There is a disturbing trend in real life society that has flowed like lava from a volcano into online society. This trend is to forget about what the consumer wants or needs and instead make it all it all about you.

The first and most important aspect in any type of communication is to listen. You have to listen to what your potential customer wants.

Emma asks, “Thanks for the information! I’ve been following your advice, gotten through Squidoo, hubpages, and blogging. However, now I’m running into an issue: If I create a lens and a hub for the same keyword, how do I avoid duplication of information? It doesn’t seem right to have links from my website to a lens and a hub with exactly the same information. What are your thoughts? ~Emma”

Thanks for the question, Emma! There are two solutions for you:

You don’t want to put the exact same content on a lens and Hub – or anywhere on the ‘net for that matter. You have to learn how to write the same thing in a different way. It can discuss the exact same concepts, though! 

Let me give you an example: Top 5 Diet Tips (I’ll do it two ways for you):

For a lens, you might have these: (1) Burn More Calories Than You Eat (2) Exercise for an Hour a Day (3) Avoid White Foods (4) Shop on the Outer Edges of the Grocery Store (5) Listen to Your Hunger Cues.

For a Hub, take those exact same 5 ideas and make them this: (1) Eat Less, Exercise More (2) Get in an Hour of Cardio Daily (3) Don’t Eat Sugar or White Bread (4) Stay Clear of Processed Foods (5) Adhere to Normal Eating Patterns

It may take some practice for you – you may have to use the synomym feature on your word processor, but learn how to say the same thing using different words.

Or, here’s another solution:

Let’s say your keyword is diet plans. On your lens, your slant can be “Top 5 diet plans” and on your Hub it can be “Why Many Diet Plans Never Work.” Your Ezine Article might be “Which Diet Plans Harm Your Health?” and your blog entry could be “Reviews of the Best and Worst Diet Plans.”

Your goal is to get the hyperlink anchored in your keyword phrase and pointing to your site.

Does this help?
