Get Paid to Write & Make Money With Squidoo

Squidoo is a great community that allows writers to create webpages (called lenses) and make money from these pages. You can make money from Squidoo in a number of ways. The first way to make money with Squidoo is by sharing in the revenue the site earns. Squidoo will pay users with the top lenses a percentage of the revenue from the Squidoo "ad pool." How much a Squidoo member is paid is determined by their lenses "lens rank." All lenses are ranked based upon traffic, time spent on the lenses, click outs, etc... and broken up into tiers. Tier 1 is for the Top 2,000 lenses, Tier 2: 2,001-10,000, Tier 3: 10,001- 85, 000, and Tier 4 are all of the remaining lenses. Tier 1 receives the highest payout (currently averaging around $45 per lens), Tier 2 receives the next highest payout (around $10 per lens), Tier 3 receives the lowest payout (around 40 cents per lens), and Tier 4 receives no payout (although some high ranked Tier 4 lenses receive some payout around 10 cents per lens). The revenue share is based upon money received from the Squidoo ad pool, text links, and chitika ads.

The Squidoo revenue share is not the only way to make money on Squidoo, you can also earn royalties from items sold through modules on your lenses. Money earning modules include Amazon modules, an eBay module, and a CafePress module. You will receive a share of all purchases made through your module and be paid by Squidoo. You can also make money with Squidoo by using Squidoo to promote affiliate program sales such as from Clickbank, Commission Junction, Google Ad Network, AllPosters, Zazzle, and more.

This lens, however, chronicles all of the payments I have received since being a member of Squidoo, Please be advised that I have not put as much time into my Squidoo lenses as many other people or made much effort to promote my Squidoo lenses, so I do not earn as much as many other writers. I mainly make lenses for fun on topics I am interested into or that I think may be useful/helpful to others. I hope to at some point put more time & effort into making lenses that focus on SEO and promotion of products to make more money, but for now I'm happy with the steady payout I make that combined with my other efforts to make money writing online helps to provide extra income and revenue for me.

The March payout covers earnings from January and marks the first time I had lenses in all tier brackets. The March payout also saw a dip in payouts per lensrank, but my overall earnings still continued to climb. I was particularly active on Squidoo in January, so you will notice many lenses that had not previously earned a penny on Squidoo made money in January. In fact this lens, Making Money with Squidoo: My Squidoo Payments, broke into Tier 3 an earned me money! Here's a look at how my lenses stacked up in January.

April, 2012 Payout

February, 2012 Earnings

My April, 2012 payout took a dip from my previous payout and stopped the trend of my earnings steadily increasing monthly. I attribute this dip to three things: February is short month, payout per lensrank once again dropped for April, and I was not very active in February. In fact, I was not very active on Squidoo from February through May, so I anticipate subsequent payouts to either drop or remain steady. An interesting tidbit about my April payout is that my Top 20 Chick Flicks ended up as Tier 2 for text links but Tier 3 for ad pool, which is a bit odd. As a result, Top 20 Chick Flicks earned by $1.93. Look below to see how the rest of my lenses did in February.

2011 Squidoo Payouts

February, 2011 Payout

My First Squidoo Payout!

My first Squidoo payout was in February of 2011 for earnings generated in December of 2010. I earned revenue for two lenses: Top Holiday Toys and Top 10 Toys for Grade-Schoolers .

From my Top Holiday Toys lens, I earned $0.26 because it was a Tier 3 lens and $1.89 from Amazon sales from the lens. Because this lens is a seasonal lens, I did not earn anything for the rest of the year. But hopefully the lens will gain more popularity in November and December of subsequent years and provide occasional income throughout the years.

From my Top 10 Toys for Grade-Schoolers lens I earned $0.69 cents for two Amazon sales from this lens. I had accidentally had my payout settings on this lens set to charity so all the income went towards charity rather than payout. Obviously, not a bad thing & I'm happy that part of my first earnings from Squidoo went towards charity.

Total Earnings: $2.79
Total Payout (minus charity & fee): $2.10

March, 2011 Payout

January, 2011 Earnings

For the March, 2011 Payout, I did not meet the $1 minimum for payout, but I did generate earnings in January, 2011 that went to my "reserve hopper" for the next payout. These earnings came from two Tier 3 lenses (Daily Deal Sites Like Groupon and Top Romantic Comedies & Top Romantic Comedy Actresses) which each earned $0.26.

Total Earnings: $0.52
Total Payout: $0

April, 2011 Payout

February, 2011 Earnings

My April, 2011 Payout included the money from my reserve hopper for January, 2011 earnings ($0.52) plus $1.15 in earnings from my lens, 10 Gift Ideas for Toddlers for selling an item on Amazon, and $0.25 each from my lenses Daily Deal Sites Like Groupon and Top Romantic Comedies & Top Romantic Comedy Actresses which were once again Tier 3 lenses.

Total Earnings (for Feb, 2011): $1.65
Total Payout (inc. reserve, minus fees): $2.13

May, 2011 Payout

March, 2011 Earnings

June, 2011 Payout

April, 2011 Earnings

In April, 2011, my Daily Deal Sites Like Groupon lens became my first lens to break into Tier 2 and earned $5.49.

My She-Ra: Princess of Power lens not only earned money as a Tier 3 lens, but I also sold an Amazon item through that lens and therefore, earned $3.12 from my She-Ra: Princess of Power lens in April, 2011.

My 10 Gift Ideas for Toddlers lens also had an Amazon sale in April, 2011 and earned me $2.87.

My Top Romantic Comedies & Top Romantic Comedy Actresses lens earned $0.28 as a Tier 3 lens and my She-Ra Characters lens earned $0.06 from Chitika and text ads as a high ranked Tier 4 lens.

Total Earnings: $11.81
