Making a living on Squidoo - just a fantasy?
Making a living on Squidoo just from Squidoo's monthly payouts is a long-term process - expect to take 6 months to see significant monthly earnings.
BUT it is possible to almost immediately start making money and to make a GOOD living using lenses to promote affiliate products and the money directly from Squidoo is a bonus.
This lens looks at various ways and means to make a living on Squidoo.
Explore the links on this page to find out all you need to know to make a living on Squidoo!

Is Squidoo a Secret Cash Machine?
I have always said that it was not necessary to 'buy' any information products about Squidoo - but I have changed my mind -I have been making money on Squidoo now for two years. However, after reaching a top income of $2,000 in a month I seemed to get stuck and could go no higher.
That's why I bought "The Secret Cash Machine On Squidoo" by Karl Pemberton and I must admit that after only one reading I am very impressed. I learned a lot and there are tips and tricks that I would never have thought of by myself.
I particularly like some of the tricks to make my lenses look different and unique and most of all the tip on how to "steal" traffic from my competitors, without doing anything underhand.
The Secret Cash Machine On Squidoo is an excellent read and will increase your income whether you are a newbie to Squidoo or an experienced lensmaster. Can you afford NOT to get it? "The Secret Cash Machine On Squidoo" - Click Here
Getting Off to A Good Start
The Title and URL of your lens is Important.Once you have joined Squidoo (and if you haven't yet you can get started by clicking on where it says make your own page like this on this page - you can make any type of lens you like!) the first thing to decide is the subject of your first lens.
Google loves Squidoo but to have your lens appear high up in the search ranking the title is all important. For example you decide that your first lens is to be about cooking. A search for "cooking" in Google produces 170million results! Far too many for your lens to have a chance of appearing on the first page. However "cooking the Mediterranean way" produces just 1,770 results and gives a lens with the url www.squidoo.com/cooking-the-mediterranean-way a good chance of high ranking in Google and generating traffic and income!
It is a good idea to then find several related keyword phrases with similarly low results to use as tags for your lens. In this case "Mediterranean style cookery" produces only 5 results (although a lot of Adwords ads which is always a good sign) and "cookery from the Mediterranean" only 1 result.
Don't Feel Guilty About 100% Cash!
Don't feel guilty about setting your payment options on your lens to 100% cash and not donating your income to charity.The good people at Squidoo donate a percentage of all the Adsense and advertising income generated by all lenses to charity - so by making good quality, interesting lenses that attract traffic you ARE donating some of your income - even when you set 100% cash!
Quantity or Quality?
Is it better to make hundreds of lenses or just a few high quality lenses?Ideally both! You don't need to go to the extreme of one lensmaster who is attempting to make a million lenses - BUT both quality and quantity do count in the income stakes.
Making lots of low quality lenses, and by this I mean just a line or two of text and then lots of money making modules or affiliate links, will not do you any good at all as they are unlikely to rise in the lens rankings and obtain much traffic.
The key is to concentrate on making one good lens - check out the top 100 to see what a good lens looks like - then repeat, repeat, repeat!
Promoting Your Lens
As soon as you have made your first lens add it to all the Groups you can find that are on topic.
Keep Updating Your Lens
Your first attempt will not usually be Perfect and you will want to change things and add other modules. Every time you make a change don't forget to Publish your lens. If, however, you believe that your lens is Perfect just as it is then every few days just add another tag or keyword and Publish - your lens will then appear updated.

Excellent lens! Extremely informative and inspirational. Although I joined Squidoo back in October of last year (to comment) I really didn't make a lens until March of this year. I was surprised to learn that a lens created on 17 March earned over $13 for me (from Google ad revenue sharing) and two others brought the total to $15. I only learned about the earnings a short time ago, but it convinced me to set about making more and keeping them all fresh. I wil be studying this lens closely to learn more. thanks!
