Five Ways to Get Paid With Squidoo
By David M. Soto
When I first discovered Squidoo I solely looked at it as a source of riveting
information. I didn't recognize that there is so many different ways to earn money from
it. However, here I will now present five different ways to cash in.
• Be a content provider. Or rather, a 'lensmaster' as it is referred
to in the wonderful world of Squidoo, because each page created in Squidoo by someone is
called a 'lens'. This is the basic function of Squidoo: permitting everyone to be experts
in their field of knowledge And, the nice thing about it is that there is no one way to
make a page or lens. As a lensmaster, you are entitled to earn royalties from your lenses.
Fundamentally, when you create a page and Squidoo runs advertisements on them, you get
paid a percentage of the revenues Squidoo receives whenever a viewer clicks on any of the
ads on your lens.
• Selling and promoting your own products. If you have an eBay store
or Cafepress shop, then creating a Squidoo lens is one mean for you to get new buyers. You
just create a lens that is related to the theme of your online store, use the built-in
functions of adding eBay and/or CafePress items, choose items that you wish to promote -
then publish and share your lens.
• Sell affiliate products. There are two ways you can capitalize on
affiliate selling on Squidoo. One is with the use of their built-in affiliate tools (just
choose the products to add to your lens and you get a cut off the commission that Squidoo
will receive). The other is by linking to your own affiliate products on your lenses. In
the built-in affiliate tools, you are able to choose from different well-known brands like
Amazon, eBay, Netflix, CafePress, and iTunes.
• Drive traffic to your blog or internet site. When you create a lens
about your blog or website, or a topic that promotes your blog or site, then you just
might find yourself with a snow flurry of unique visitors, that might just turn in to
readers, subscribers, and/or potential customers buyers of whatsoever it is you're
marketing. While I haven't seen this myself just yet, I cant wait to get the ball rolling
and produce an extra stream of income from Squidoo. Evidently, search engine giant Google
loves Squidoo. Therefore, it might just assist you with your PR rankings too!
• Promote Squidoo through their affiliate marketing. All that is
necessary is to sign up for your own account and get your referral link. Whenever somebody
signs up through your affiliate link and then his or her lens earns its first $15, both
you and your friend will each get $5 in to your account. This is great because it really
encourages promotion and community. I mean, for instance, if you sign up with Squidoo
using my referral link , then you and I both stand a chance in making money when you reach
your first $15 earnings. But, if you don't sign up with a referral link and sign up
directly with Squidoo, then both you and the person who told you about Squidoo don't get
to make the extra $5.
When it pertains to payment, Paypal is the payment system of choice. And, you are able
to set your minimum payout from $1 to $1,000,000 (Who on earth will do that seriously,
though?). You can also choose to receive your royalty payments either as 100 percent cash,
100% charity of your choice, or a mixture of cash and charity.
In any case, when you dabbled with creating sample Squidoo Lenses, keep in mind there
is the possibility to get some kind of pay out of it. Beside writing from passion which
should be the your major motivation for writing you can also receive a check out it as
well which will provide an incentive to keep on writing.
