How to Make Money with Squidoo
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.
