One Month, One Lens, $1,000 Profit

How I make $1,000 a month from One Lens

In early April 2008, I had my first lens break the $1,000 earnings mark in a single month! I've learned some very valuable lessons from that lens (which shall remain nameless, sorry squids and squidettes) and I thought that you might be able to use some of these lessons in your own squidoo lenses.

The Characteristics of a Thousand Dollar Squidoo Lens

The lens I have that's making a thousand dollars a month is actually very similar to a lot of my lenses that I have built. I started using squidoo in May of 2007 and since then I have tried to build lenses where people can find focused information on a very specific topic.
Over time, I've seen a lot of these lenses steadily climb the search engines as google slowly realizes that out of the available 'choices' for a specific topic, my lens has the most 'depth' of content for that specific topic.
While I have now made $1,000 with one lens in a single month, I don't anticipate this being the only lens that earns that much in a short time.

The one thing constant is change. By learning as much about how squidoo works as possible, I've been able to use that knowledge to slowly build up my lenses, making them more and more effective as time goes on.

I know, it's not rocket science or the secret to the pyramids, but it works.

How much does your best lens earn a month

Include any other affiliate earnings outside of squidoo but subtract any costs you have associated with promoting the lens.

In true squidoo 'plexo' style, here are my 5 top tips for building a squidoo lens that earns $1,000 a month or more. If you've got a great revenue generating tip, feel free to drop it in. If you have a lens about making money or about squidoo, feel free to 'grab' this plexo for your own lens (it won't hurt a bit, I promise!).

    I am just starting out, but as someone who can devote her day to writing lenses (read: Unemployed) I am very curious about what I can do to build lenses that make money and help promote myself for my future career as an author. Thank you very much. ~ MJ Schrader

    This has been a useful read.
    I hope to make an average of $200 a month [*fingers crossed*]. If there was only one piece of advise you could give regarding reaching a financial goal what would it be?
