Squidoo Profits - The True Step by Step Guide

Squidoo Profits is classed as a marketing, money-making and traffic increasing system using Squidoo Lenses.

It consists of a collection of e-books to research and build your Squidoo Lenses. It also states that it helps you to create money by using the tips and advice found within these books.

Most marketers will encourage you to buy this system by 'throwing in' a few free bonuses which feature more information about using Squidoo as a marketing tool. These bonuses can include how to build your own mailing lists, how to find your niche in Squidoo and more.

However, the main drawbacks of this system are its price (it can vary from as little as $2 to well over $70) and the fact that it is extremely out of date.

This squidoo lens will help you find the information you can find in this e-book collection all for free and on the Internet.

This is just one example of what can be found in a Squidoo Profits package:

Squidoo Profits: Step by Step Guide
Squidoo Profits: How to Easily Dominate Ezine Articles with Squidoo
Squidoo Profits: Ideas Tank
Squidoo Profits: How to Build a Massive List With Squidoo

The advice in this book is to set up multiple accounts for various reasons to achieve an optimum marketing strategy but doing this prevents you from earning the status of Giant Squid as stated in the FAQ's.

Length seems to be critical in Squidoo and that can include introduction to your lens, module length and overall lens length, amongst others. The advice in this book conflicts with advice I've read elsewhere. So, find out what suits you and your lens. Try and strike a happy medium.

However, either you know most of it already or you can find it out with very little difficulty at all.

Here's some help to get you started!

How to Build a Massive List

How to build a massive list using Squidoo

All my ideas for Lenses have come to me because of my interests, things I would like to do in my life or just because I feel strongly about the subject.

The suggestions in this e-book were designed to generate income by using Squidoo as sales pages. However, they don't have to be boring subjects! E.g. business, affiliate marketing.

Steal This Idea! A Creative Launchpad for Squidoo Lensmasters

This e-book mentioned one of the reasons why your lens(es) may be deleted:

"As the Chief Software Engineer at Squidoo said, your Modules have to have content which is unique. Content that can be found anywhere else on the web is in danger of being deleted so keep that in mind when building your Modules."

If you used the method of finding subjects to base your lens on within this bonus to the letter, you do run the risk of using content on your lens which can be found elsewhere on the Internet.

My advice is to use this method in another way. Put your own personal spin on the subject as much as you can. Use your own experiences of life, business, relationships etc. to add unique content where possible.

Put your own unique spin on the subjects in your Squidoo Lenses
