Make Money on Squidoo Before Noon

What I think is that there is there are so many opportunities for the average "blog" fan such as myself to spead and receive knowledge using squidoo; yet for the first timers the process is overwhelming and maybe a bit intimidating.

Take for example the term 'tags' or 'keywords'. Do you know what defines these terms? I certainly didn't as a new "lensmaster". Thus, I began searching for products, resources, and other lensmasters to help me determine the importance of such a simple phrase.

Easily put 'tags' are the search terms others can use to link to your site. Every search engine uses 'tags' and 'keywords' to guide traffic to the most popular sites. Google then uses this popularity to 'juice' your site and get the most out of the traffic.

Here is a Squidoo Tip: While you are allowed to enter up to 40 keywords or tags it is best to stick to the high powered tags and limit yourself to only 20. For some reason Google indexing equations don't like to see a long list of keywords--the more specific and niche oriented you can be the better off your ranking is.

Here is a Squidoo Free Tool: While you are more then welcome to go out and purchase software to help you define what keywords are best for your niche; Google AdWords Keyword Tool is free if you have a google account and offers a great list of highly effective 'tags' for your lens. My thought is don't spend money until you start to make money. Take advantage of words like "Free" early in your lens making career.

It is no hidden secret the possibility forums play in your day-to-day taffic to your lens. I love the use of forums because they allow me to interact with others who have similar interests as well as drive traffic to my site through a few hidden linking tricks.

Now forums are not a lazy man's way of pushing traffic through the doors; they do take up time and a bit of work. However, once you have established yourself in a forum (rules differ in establishing) then the time committment is limited.

Do you want to know the secret of finding forums?Do you want to know the secret in finding forums? Its simple and the internet is loaded full of them. In order to find a forum with your niche in mind; simply type in your browser's search engine--"Search URL: "Your Niche Forum">. For example I might type "Search URL: "Anxiety Forum". This will make sure your browser only displays findings that have anxiety forums within their description or www address.

Once you have located your forum(s) of choice set up a new account and pay particular attention to the rules regarding links, URL's, and Advertising.

Here is Squidoo Free Tip: Search your local newspapers for many free forums that offer many different interactive forums. I've generated hundreds of visits using my local major paper Seattle Times.

When I first started squidoo; I had heard promises of great money, lots of exposure, and a never ending market for my idea's, opinions, and reviews. While this is true; success on squidoo come by way of 'traffic' to your lens. Simply put--what can you do to get people to visit your site?

A few months ago, I was laid off from my 'good' paying job and wondering through the days wondering what I was going to do to support my family--granted my family is small.

One morning I awoke and answered an add that came across my 'job search' email account regarding the opportunity to make money--fast, cheap, and all from the cushins of my couch. While I am not a lazy person by nature, my type A personality only need see one word in the advertisment-'opportunity'!

Squidoo has given me opportunity. With a bit of hard work and some consistant research, I earned my first dollar using a great niche lens Going Banana's Over Anxiety. Since, I've used my creativity and opportunity to turn more of those dollars into my PayPal account.
