Will Squidoo Make Money For Me?

type=textThis has to do with the all important question that many have asked: Will Squidoo Really make me money?

that depends
It depends a lot on your traffic the more you increase traffic the more likely you will make money with Squidoo, but you will also need to do others things.

Adding links from other domains to your Squidoo lens is a part of making money as the more visiotrs come to your lenses the more chances you have of making money.

It does you no good to try to "tweek" the system, your lenses are based upon merit and the more that people "ike" you lenses, the more the chances that your lensrank will increase.

It also means taht you will have to do small things, such as updating your lenses, and this can be teh harder more time consuming part to making money with Squidoo. If you are comparing, I would say that unlike other websites where you do not have to update as much, this is a benefit to you and others, as it makes certain your lenses are correct.

Encouraging peope to comment while not a direct source of income, allows you to improve your lenses, which means you will in time make more money.

So, yes can make money writing on Squidoo.

    The people at Squidoo are the best of the best. This is an awesome community. If I may share a teeny tip with you, it always helps to run your writing through a spellchecker and grammar checker before you publish. : )

    The main reason I write on Squidoo is to make money, but if I didn't like writing, I wouldn't be doing it. It's fun, and the money helps too. The community is the best part of Squidoo. Everything you could ever want to know about is published right here on the site, making publishing a snap.
