Squidoo Tip for Poll Modules
One of the more fun features or modules on Squidoo is the poll module. It allows you to create a poll with a question or a statement and then multiple choices for your visitors to choose from. But did you know you you can hyperlink the poll choices to Amazon products…increasing your chances for affiliate sales?
It is actually very easy to do. Just login to your Amazon affiliate control panel, choose the appropriate tracking ID, and then start creating product links. Copy a text only version of the link and where Squidoo directs you to “Enter your poll response options” you enter your Amazon link instead of plain text.
Here is a picture of the process:
And here is a picture of the poll after the page is published and you get some voters. The best part about this trick is that the full affiliate commission goes to me. I don’t share it 50/50 with Squidoo as I would with many other modules.
In case you were wondering these two images are from different Squidoo Lenses. Hope this helps you boost your Squidoo profit!

Oh wow, this tip couldn’t have come at a better time! I’ve just revived 2 of my squidoo lenses and I’m planning to keep them updated on a regular basis. I seen the poll module, but I had no idea it could do this.
Thanks Tiffany =)
