How To Make Money Using Squidoo
Are you using FREE Squidoo.com to MAKE MONEY on the internet?
If NOT, then you’re missing a lot of FREE BIG opportunities!
What are these opportunities?
1. BIG Traffic (Links!)
2. Real Money
BIG Traffic, and I mean real traffic.
Why Do You Need to create a Squidoo lenses (pages)? Reason: Traffic, traffic, traffic by way of backlinking. Currently, Squidoo.com is at PageRank 6. What does this mean?
It simply means that if you have a lens (page) in Squidoo, you can create links going back to your blog! Remember that a higher PageRank page or domain can boost your blog’s ranking, if you are linking FROM the source with higher rank.
If you’re PR is lower than 6, then all the more reasons you have to create a Squidoo lens.
Real Money?
Yes, that’s right. You can make money inside Squidoo website.
Ways to Make Money on Squidoo.
1. Direct Commission
Sell items on your lens. Squidoo will provide the modules such as Cafepress, Amazon, and eBay. The commission you earned will be shared in 3 ways: 5% goes to Charity Fund, 45% to Squidoo ( they have expenses too, like running servers etc.) and the remaining 50% goes to you, the lensmaster.
2. Google Ads and Other Ads Revenue
This means that you will get share for Google Ads and other ads contracted by Squidoo to run on your lens(es). The money earned from this Ads will be put on a big pool. Half of the content of this pool will be distributed among the lensmaster (yes, that’s you!). Higher ranking lenses will be rewarded with larger chunk.
There is no limit to the number of lenses (pages) you can create. Don’t forget to create backlink from your lenses. And, don’t worry if you don’t have an Adsense account because AdSense code is generated automatically by Squidoo.
Payouts are monthly via PayPal only. If you don’t want to hassle yourself in getting a Paypal account (and getting your money), your account will automatically start off earmarked to charity until you decided to get your cash using Paypal.
Minimum Payouts.
If you’d like to cash sooner, set it at $1!. Very ridiculously isn’t? The default settings is automatically set at $10, so make sure to change your cash payout threshold.
Is Squidoo FREE?
Absolutely YES! You will never have to pay Squidoo. Building lenses is FREE!

Did I mention not to forget to create backlinks going to your main blog? That’s actually the main benefit you can get from Squidoo -aside from the revenue. Once you get how Squidoo works, it’s not that hard to generate traffic.

the link to the free guide is now working.
Nicholas, thanks for the wonderful article in your blog. i’m touched!
I have heard that people make cash on Squidoo, but had no idea how to approach the topic. This free e-book has opened my eyes – can’t write more, I’m off to create my first lens
Thanks a lot!
Thanks eric for that information! I really appreciate your generosity! d;-)
I’m interested but I guess I have no specialty so I don’t know. Hehehe! Anyway, thanks for your plan to nominate me. I feel flattered.
I don’t know if you are still with the hosting site that you were talking about the last time I was able to pull up your site, but this is the first time since then, which has been several days. Whenever I have clicked on your icon through either Adgitize or Entrecard, a message will come up after a while that says that the site cannot be accessed or no address is found.
it’s a bit complicated, I haven’t transferred my blog but soon…watch for it.
I have trying squidoo before, but not focus on making money online. I know it must be great way, since Seth is terribly genius. I have watching him, talking about google, marketing and tribes. I am fans of Seth.
You just remembering me for this MMO way. I will find my squidoo guide on my PC again. I think this is more than article marketing submitting, like ezinearticle or some like that. Because we not only submitting our article, but directly making money by reviewing some product..
I am interesting about FREE “How To Squidoo” guide (if that really free.
but I found the link is broken…
sorry for that, but it’s fixed now. I’ve found out that most of my links are missing (due to server’s harddisk crashed).
heya! you really are knowledgeable about these things. btw, glad your site is now OK.
thanks Mye. In reality, there are still a lot of “bugs” on my site that I need to address.
