    Ways to Get Traffic to your Squidoo Lens

    When you don't pay for traffic with paid advertising (PPC), getting traffic to your lens is a bit more "hands on". This will require you put a system in place to lead people to your lens.

    You can mix-n-match any of the traffic-generating techniques below - or use ALL of them.
    • Organic Traffic - This will be the "easiest" of them all. This technique requires you create quality, keyword-rich content on your lens so the search engines send you targeted traffic.

    • Article Marketing - Marketing with articles is a wonderful, and powerful way to promote your lens. These articles leave little breadcrumb-type links back to you lens all over the internet. Don't understand article marketing? Click here

    • Forums - By actively contributing to forums with valuable posts, you can bring exposure to your Squidoo lens by simply placing a link in the signature area. Always check the TOS of each forum - NEVER spam a lens - and be a worthy community member.

    • Blogs - I am definitely learning the value of blogging lately. Promote your lens on your blog, your blog on your lens....it creates a nice little system to help others find your work. Besides - blogging can be a lot of fun. I am having a blast on www.PotPieGirl.com (I also spill some secrets, too!)

    • Craigslist - This is a technique that is worth learning - but don't jump in there "blind". Very powerful!
      You can learn to market on Craigslist at PotPieGirl.com
    • Your Email - Simply placing a link to your lens in the "auto-signature" for your out-going emails lets others know and can lead them there. (note: Do not SPAM and blindly send your links to those you don't know)

    • Videos - Yes, you could even submit "branded" video to YouTube. These viral little movies have a LOT of power to draw traffic.

    How I REALLY Make Money Online

    ..the cats outta the bag....


    How to START Making Money Online.. My Way

    On my blog, PotPieGirl.com, I spend a lot of time trying to help others make money online. Mainly, I want to help others make that first $10 online. I know from experience, once that first money is made, inspiration and motivation are sure to follow. More importantly than that, after those first few bucks are made, the person believes.

    I believe that anyone and everyone that has access to a computer can learn to enhance or even replace their income by working on their computer. I believe that learning these skills CAN change your life.

    It has changed MY life.

    Problem I run into is a simple (ha) question that does NOT have a simple answer...

    "...but HOW do I make money online???"

    Folks, there are SO many ways to bring revenue into your household by working on your computer...it is close to impossible to explain in an email or a Squidoo lens...

    The next question I commonly get is:

    "PotPieGirl, how do YOU make money online??

    This I CAN answer...and answer pretty easily. You can read all about how I make money online on my blog post that is titled "How I Really Make Money Online".

    Feel free to ask me any questions you may have.
