Comments on: Earning $300 a month from Squidoo http://www.squidoocool.com/making-money-on-squidoo Making a living on Squidoo Wed, 30 Nov 2011 15:22:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Eric http://www.squidoocool.com/making-money-on-squidoo#comment-35645 Eric Thu, 15 Sep 2011 13:56:24 +0000 http://cool.squidoorich.com/?p=66#comment-35645 I am in month 1 with Squidoo and have only posted 2 lenses. http://www.squidoo.com/brass-push-in-fittings http://www.squidoo.com/push-connect My goal is to dominate a handful of key words that I have selected based on the industry that I work in offline. It seems to be very competitive with 1 mil - 32 mil search results depending on the key words. ex. Nylon Air Brake Tubing, push connect, nylon air brake, and others... I am on the 1st and 2nd page for these and other related key words so far and am seeing about 20-30 unique views a day from Google. I was very surprised that it ONLY took 1 day to get to the top of 20 million in 1 case! Not real sure which direction I want to go yet; thinking about building a large link wheel and funneling all traffic to a blog or my company website. ? I am just having fun tweeking and making minor changes and seeing how they affect my search engine ranking and traffic for now. Not sure who to believe on making $100's of dollars a day on this stuff; but if 1 man can do it, so can I. I am in month 1 with Squidoo and have only posted 2 lenses.

Not sure who to believe on making $100′s of dollars a day on this stuff; but if 1 man can do it, so can I.

One way, I think is to write articles from different niches then try to compare which ones will give you more traffic and revenue. Those that are well performing, you concentrate on that topic and then promote, promote, promote... I really need this info as I’m new to Squidoo.

Some of my highest earnings lenses have been more for collectible type items, niche markets, etc. My advice is: Be unique Research your topic and include good, solid content on your lens Join groups Be active in SquidU and here- you'll learn a lot Visit the Top 100 lenses and see what they are doing & how the lenses are formatted Use relevant keywords (and include them in your content!) Have a great week! I have had better luck with Squidoo earnings than affiliate links. Some of my highest earnings lenses have been more for collectible type items, niche markets, etc. My advice is:

In September, I made about $8 before donations. I'm still waiting to see how I'll do in October, but I think $300 a month is a very achievable goal in a short period if you include outside affiliate revenue. My suggestions would be: 1) pick niche keywords 2) write good content about your topic 3) add relevant affiliate links from the major networks (CJ, LinkShare, Performics) 4) add your lens to a variety of Squidoo groups 5) leave ratings and reviews on other related lenses with a hyperlink back to your own This is what I've done. I don't know how much revenue I'll get from Squidoo for October until now, but I do know that my network affiliate links have earned about $90 in the last 35 days, so I'm thrilled.

I am excited about this venture. I learned of Squidoo about a week ago and just got enough time to check it out. Wow, so much knowledge here. I am excited about this venture.

I have also found that a lens which I thought was niche enough, really wasn't after all. This was after the lens had been published for about a week. I often find even more specific keywords to build a lens on when looking at my search keywords under my stats. I love finding gems like that because I know people really are looking for that item so doing this is almost a hit from the start. Shane,

For dnuttall, I've found that the advice given about throwing a wide net and seeing what works is really excellent advice. The next is to have above the minimum modules. I find more modules means more keywords, more good information, and more visitors--I'm also suspecting that more modules at least in a minor way helps LensRank. Two lenses I thought would be homeruns have only been fair to middlin', while my highest rated lens I thought would be junk, but it was niched and does well enough that it tends to stay top 1,000 without me doing anything else, and that page made the most affiliate sales as well. So make pages you're passionate about, find good niche keywords (I like Google's Keyword finder the best) and good luck! Hey all, great conversation!
