Shhh! Don’t tell, but I’m going to share a secret with you, one that could result in more traffic to your lenses.Do you have a lens that features a person, a celebrity, someone that people want to know more about? If so, make sure you include two things on that lens: one, the person’s birthday (date of birth) and, two, the person’s age (so they don’t have to do the math). Fans want to know those things and when they search “how old is so-and-so” or “when is so-and-so’s birthday,” make sure your lens about so-and-so provides the answers for them.
A countdown module (like this one) is a great way to show a person’s birthdate; just remember to update it every year!
That’s the secret. Shhh!

Nice post. It gave me an idea for my Marilyn Monroe lens!! Also, Susan, congratulations on your purple star!! Though I have heard about it, that is the first one I have seen.

**batting eyes. FYI my birthday is Oct 12, 1960 and this year I'll be 29.
ReplyDeleteVeronica, I have a countdown to my birthday in my lensography, but I don't actually admit to which birthday it's going to be. 29 sounds good to me, too!
ReplyDeleteEuroSquid and Teddi, nice lenses! I learned a lot about Marilyn and about Prince.
