highly searched. After you have done your research, place your
chosen keyword phrase in the title of your lens. You can also add

Tip #5: Keep fresh content. When you start a lens, you will want
to keep it updated with fresh content everyday. You can do this

daily, hourly, etc. The key is to keep the fresh content coming.

readers constantly coming back to visit your lens. You can easily
