Take a look at my latest lens. It is about Green Living. It took about an hour to build initially and personally I think it is quite good. I will be spending the next few weeks tweaking and monetizing. This time around I tried out the Amazon Plexo module which allows visitors to vote their favorite products to the top of the list.
Stop by and rate my lens if you get the chance!
Also I wanted to let you know about another module that has just been added…a Wikipedia module. I used this module on the green living lens above and basically it pulls in the intro and the attached image to the article that you specify with keywords. It is a great new way to add to the content on your lenses. Go the bottom of the aforementioned lens to see it in action.
So are you ready to Squidoo? Use this link to get started and after you make $15.00 Squidoo will give us both and extra $5.00!

Many of the built-in Squidoo modules actually help to monetize your lenses. With the eBay and Amazon modules for example you create a section for related products to appear on your lens and whenever a visitor clicks through and buys one of those recommended products…you and Squidoo share the commission. This is the same with Google AdSense. The Adsense ads appear in various places above and below your lens content and when visits click on these ads you get a portion if the profit. There are many other modules available to monetize your lens too..cafepress, KB Toys, Netflix, Overstock, Buy.com. The Starbucks store…many options.
Aside from the shared lens commissions, Squidoo lenses are also very easy to monetize yourself. Squidoo is very lenient about allowing you to use third party advertising on your lens. You can promote your own websites, your own products, or promote your favorite affiliate products. You just work those links into the content and you get paid when visitors buy. You can also use your lens to prompt visitors to sign up for your mailing lists so that you can pitch your products or services to them at a later time.
I made my first two large affiliate sales through a Squidoo lense within 3 weeks of creating it. And I also get Squidoo commissions every month. I make a relatively modest amount….I think I have 6 very targeted niche lenses. But there are some Internet Marketers who have 100 lenses or more. One man that comes to mind is Lewis Smile. He has quite a few lenses and I was just reading one of those about why he loves Squidoo so much and he mentions that Squidoo just paid for his new laptop at 2500.00 so the potential to make a lot of money is definately there.

It is very easy to build a squidoo lens in about 15 minutes. The creation process is automated as is the monetization process. So for a newbie that has no idea how to design a web site or start a blog….a squidoo lens is a great alternative and a great place to get their feet wet. They can start earning money immediately after they have build a lens and make even more as they learn how to add affiliate links and build a better lens.
There are more an more web sites cropping up to imitate this system..hubpages comes to mind. But I have seen nothing that has the sophistication of Squidoo and Squidoo pages can rank very well with search engines and draw good traffic. For someone just getting started this is a painless way to get started.
Also when you have just published a new web site or blog It is helpful to get incoming links and Squidoo pages are a great way to accomplish this. You can link tot your other web sites as much as you like.
