Learn How to make $50 a day (or more) with Squidoo
Find how to make $50 a day with Squidoo step by step. I just decided to go from $1 a day to $50 a day with Squidoo. This lens will go through what I am doing to get there -- so you can do it too!!
This lens is not going to be me telling you what to do; it is going to be me telling you what I am doing to get to $50 a day. Right now all I could teach is how to make a $1 a day (truth be told it is slightly less than a dollar a day last month's earnings were $25.68).
Note: I will spend NO MONEY to accomplish this goal (This rule will be an easy one to follow).
After I reach my goal then it will be sharing with others on how to make $50 a day with Squidoo. Follow along on the journey and join in as well. Set your goal at say at $1 a day, $5 a day, or $100 a day but either way let's do this together!!
Day by Day
My journey to making $50 a day on Squidoo
Nov 8 -- I just decided some how some way I am going to be making $50 or more per day with Squidoo
Nov 9 -- Freshened up my lenses and made a list of new ideas for Squidoo lenses. Joined Squidoo Marketing on Ning
Nov 11 -- Submitting lenses to the Squidoo Directory for traffic and lensrank
Two step process (takes a few minutes which is probably why I avoided doing this earlier). Squid Directory SquidDirectory Group on Squidoo
Going to do some research on others ways to make money on my lenses including widgets and CPA's.
Nov 13 -- Signed up with Pepperjam Pepperjam and I am confused??
Nov 15 -- Made this Squidoo Lens and decided to be more active at SquidU the forum for Squidoo lensmasters. FireFox Add-on to make HTML & BB code links super easily. This is a great time saver!!
Nov 16 -- Signed up for Lensroll and submitting lenses. Twittered about this lens.
Nov 17 -- Added 2 lenses each to Squidpoint and Lensroll. Confused by Pepperjam so I may look at working some other affiliate programs that I have signed up with over the years (mostly with no success).
Nov 18 Great news: Made an affiliate sale = $35.98!!
Made another decision: I have decided to split up some of my lenses into more specific and targeted lenses. For example, I am going to make a few lenses out of my Self Help DVD lens. I have given other people advice to be very focused with their lenses (just taking my own advice).
Nov 19 Forgot about SquidDirectory Group so now I am adding to Squid Directory, and Lensroll I will add all old lenses and new lenses to these directories until further notice.
Read some great tips from Joan at Squidoo Marketing on Ning. Published my new lens Motivational Movies which was just split up from my Self Help DVD lens. Looking at some affiliate programs and products that I would want to promote. If you don't know most products have affiliate programs where you can signup and if you make a sale you make money!!
Nov 20 -- Submitted my lenses to Yahoo where you can submit your url on Yahoo Submit url not sure if this was worth it? Twittered the update to this lens and my Self Help Quote Lens. I will Twitter Squidoo updates every day.
Nov 21 Stopped by at BigJim's Social Networking Site and made several new Web 2.0 friends. Made a new lens Brian Tracy products in an effort to get some more sales I am going to make more affiliate product related lenses. We'll see how it goes..
Nov 22 Added the typical day and what I am not doing to this lens. Decided to start adding a couple of lenses a week and wrote down some ideas for new lenses.
Nov 24 Made a new lens. Was trying to learn a new affiliate program but gave up. Thinking of ways to get this lens to be lens of the day and/or in the top 100?
Nov 25 Losing some steam due to lack of sales?? Freshened some lenses -- added table of contents modules, deleted some banners, and replaced with more links.
Nov 26 Making sure all lenses and social networking sites are linked to each other for max traffic. Astonished by traffic to this lens and my Motivational Movies lens which were both created in the last 2 weeks
Nov 27 Learned how to add colors and borders thanks to Lensmaster Fluffanutta Go to CSS Tricks so you can learn as well. Not sure what I will do with it yet but it looks cool. Made a new lens with an affiliate program I am in.
Nov 28 Making lenses more and more targeted. Helping my son and new lensmaster Michael build a new Gifts for a teenage boy shopping lens. This is a topic we know pretty well with 5 boys around the house!!
Nov 30 Studying on how to convert visitors to affiliate buyers. Found some good tips at Copyblogger.
November Based on my sales and my best guess on my Squidoo income based on lensrank November closes with about $3 a day. A long ways to go to get to $50 a day by Dec 31st.

I have been making over $500 a month on all my affiliate activities. I know this is small compare to what the super affiliates make, but nevertheless, it's still cool cash with little money invested.

As of April 2009, my affiliate programs make 70-80% of my money. This is as we speak, with our economy, the pattern can change from month to another, the people don't buy as they usually do, and all of us are impacted in some way. Am I right?

I am a writer but I also make money through blogging and through affiliate marketing on my squidoo lenses. Promoting products on clickbank is my most successful squidoo method.

Tried, failed, and tried again and this still makes me $0
Mark-Nehs says:
My Squidoo money is okay but is in the sales that we really make money. For most people it seems to be affiliate sales but some people make a ton on Amazon sales around Christmas time.

At this point the amount of money is very little, but I am still working to improve what I am doing.

Spending my limited Squidoo time obsessed checking stats such as lensrank, traffic, and clickouts. This is good info to know but it is not worth consuming 25% of the time I spend here.

More Day by Day
Making money on Squidoo
Wondering if I'll hit my goal? November was about $3 a day. Did make a sale today for a Whopping $1.70!! Oh well at least it is step in the right direction.
A little updating of lenses and twittering is all.
Submitted my list of steps I take before publishing a lens to the 7 Habits Lens
Making lenses more buy now for Christmas and adding any December specials to affiliate lenses and my usual typical day activities.
Trying to get a little more familiar with StumbleUpon because I have seen it generate a tremendous amount of traffic -- quickly.
Just saw $7 in my Pepperjam account not sure how or why because it has confused me -- time to learn!!
Sold 3 books through the Amazon module!! I thought the Amazon module wasn't working (just kidding it just didn't seem like it).
Signed up for TwitAd to get more money (monetize your Twitter account we'll see...). Affiliate sales today for $48.93!! It's starting to gain some momentum.
Getting Amazon sales from this lens and pretty much this one only. Happy about the sales but why not my other lenses??
Learning about Zazzle and Cafepress to add to my lenses (and income)
Just checked and did make a nice affiliate sale this week $71 affiliate lens
Have Questions about Squidoo?
Summary of my typical day on Squidoo
These are my daily steps
Twitter pretty much everything I am doing. Visit 2 lensmasters and rank and comment on at least 1 of their lenses.
Do 1 or 2 of the following on Squidoo:
1. Review and freshen an old lens
2. Make a new lens
3. Work on a newer lens
Submitting lenses to SquidDirectory Group on Squidoo and Lensroll.
Make some posts either asking questions or helping at SquidU the forum for Squidoo Lensmasters, Warrior Forum, and Squidoo Marketing on Ning.
Do 1 of the following:
1. Search for an affiliate program for a product I would like to promote or through ones I have already signed up with
2. Look at other lensmasters and others that are actually making money to learn from them
3. Watch a video or listen to call to help my Squidoo or Internet skills
4. StumbleUpon, Delicious, and/or Digg my lenses
5. Ping my lenses
If any of these "regular" activities do not make cents (get it?) and you KNOW them to be a waste of time on my journey to $50 a day with Squidoo please tell me so I do not waste my time. Thanks in advance.
Following is a list of what I am NOT doing anymore:
- Not obsessed with lensrank
- Deleting banner ads and replacing with more links
- Stopped wondering about making money and started taking action

How much time am I dedicating to the Squidoo challenge?
Lensrank by day
I am not new to Squidoo but just new to the money making side of things. I know how to make lenses and steps to get the lensranking higher. However, Squidoo earnings and traffic from others that are on Squidoo are not generating much money.
My focus needs to continue to be on quality content but also generating traffic from people that are looking to buy something not just give me 5 stars and leave a comment in my guestbook to improve my lensrank.

- Great question. It has been "autopilot" for months without me. Squidoo income and affiliate income (from Squidoo lenses) is back down to about a $1 a day. I am getting back to it so I will give more of a review but I do know I have not done my "daily" activities in months.

- OK - so I am curious. It has been some months since your last 'diary' entry. Have any of your efforts paid off? I have been squidooing for 4 months now and have had little success. I am trying most of what you have written about, and like you have little time, so I would love to know what things are most successful.

- My main goal is to get to 50 lenses! I wish I could say $10 a day or something like this but I have no idea as to how long it will take.
So right now i'm shooting for 50 lenses. I'm about halfway there right now. Yipee! I love the advice about "just building." It helps to try out different modules too. I'm realizing that my first lenses (I need to redo them) are pretty lousy and not focused enough. I ramble a lot!
