Hi Businessonapage,

Any lens ranked under 10k overall is a respectable rank these days - considering the large number of lenses.

I left a comment, rated, and favorited your lens on Dec 5. I'm the electric guitar avatar. I also joined your fanclub.

It does help your lensrank.

You can monetize:

1. Coop pay - shared ad revenue paid according to lensrank for each lens.

2. Money modules such as Amazon, eBay, and others.

3. Your own affiliate links.

4. Indirectly by sending traffic to your own self-hosted sites via links to your sites.

Payment is delayed by two months. So, Decembers pay will be from September.

Hey Newbie,

Have you recieved your payout details for October? I just found out I made 40 cents. I believe the amount is from the Coop pay. I have yet to recheck - but - none of my Amazon, eBay and other modules to date indicated they are paying out anything.

I wonder what November will bring?

Hi Businessonapage,

Yep, I got the email yesterday from Squidoo for payout. They usually pay sometime in the second week of the month as they did this month.

Yep, the amount is probably coop pay for yours.

The amounts can really vary. A few months ago, one guy made over $1,000 from a single lens. His money modules really delivered nicely.

A few people have been making over a thousand a month consistently for about a year now.

Sometimes the back links from from their Squidoo lenses pay pretty well (see item #4 above). Lensmasters have also reported doing well with their own affiliate links placed right in a lens.

Squidoo is also a great learning grounds where you can put your theory into practice. You can also learn quite a bit from your mistakes.

As far as free hosting goes, Squidoo is hard to beat.

Good luck with your future lenses, payouts, and learning,

~Newbie Shield~

But I use them more to give my youtube videos backlinks which drives them up the search engines nicely. So they have indirectly made me tens of thousands of dollars.


Interesting.

Hi
I have just started getting into Squidoo.

I have created some lenses of which there is a link to one of them in my signature.

No money has appeared on the horizon yet. Let us wait and see how they develop.

Hi Strap,

I rated and favorited one of your lenses and joined your fanclub.

Would you mind clearing something up for me? Your profile on the forum says your a female and your name is Julie. Your Squidoo profile has a picture of a guy and it says your name is Les. I'm wondering which one to go with or if you might of linked to the wrong lens.

Thanx,

~Newbie Shield~

Hi Newbie Shield

Thanks for visiting my squidoos.

They are the right lenses I just like to cross dress LOL!

It is my wife that is signed in on this forum, long story, and we share the work we do on the squidoos.

Hi Strap and spouse,

I figured that it was something like that ;)

You're welcome. Looks like you have a nice collection of lenses.

Happy Holidays,

Well holidays are over. All the best for the New Year everyone.

I thought I'd report back. I now have $4.48 in the reserve hopper, but in November and December I got over $500 from 1 Affiliate ad on one page.

Now if only I can repeat and expand on this.

Hi Business,

Major congrats on your sales! Hey, if you've done it once, there's a good chance that you can do it again. Just keep at it and I'm sure you'll do well.

So you really can make money having fun writing about things you have a passion? I am new at this and wondering if this really works.

If your willing to give it a go, why wouldn't it work?

I must admit I have had a glimpse of the article to money conversion working (I spent 15 mins getting a page together and in November and December got around $500. Since then though, nothing) so I am yet to see the process provide a steady stream of income. But having done it once, I hope I can duplicate it again and again.

It seems to take forever to get all the steps right:
o work out a product someone will want
o work out the supplier if it is not you
o work out the cost or commission if your an affiliate
o work out where the buyers are
o work out what they want to know
o work out how to put the information on a web sight
o work out how get a reader to read your article
o work out how to participate in forums and social communities
o and the list goes on...

I like the disclaimer on one of your 'My Online Income System', it might put a perspective on what we are doing...

Hi Businessonapage,

It's a lot more work and takes quite a bit longer than the so-called gurus would have us believe.

Entirely true. It takes time, effort, passionate commitment, and experience to do well with online marketing.

It's a tortoise of a process and there are no short cuts or quick fixes.

Your bullet list clearly depicts that there is more to it than the false gurus claim. Many will find your bullet list helpful.

Hello Newbie,
I noticed your signature's presence because of its absense. What have you been up too? I've gone back to your lenses and noticed the one about the history of music. My children and I have enjoyed the video with Jono Callow on it so far.

Hi Biz,

I removed the sig file just to show that I like the community for what it is and that I like to help simply because people need help rather than posting to get clicks on a link. It's just a personal statement and I don't recommend it for anyone else.

I've been working on my new domain. Mostly I've been testing some things with WordPress (WP) such as creating templates from scratch, plugin compatibility with the latest three versions of WP, and teaching myself some more PHP. Thanx for asking.

The didgeridoo is an interesting instrument in the hands of a creative musician such as Jono. Extra cool that he plays the drum set at the same time. Glad to hear you enjoyed the lens

I see you have quite a few new lenses - 34 in all at this point. Several nice ones. I starred and favorited a few more, nice job. What else have you been up to?

Hello Newbie, wish I could remember...

I believe I have been tidying up Squidoo pages, joining MLM's, AdTraffic and AdExchanges, creating online shops, blogs and search engines and registering with affiliate advertisers to try and reach for the dream of making an income from network marketing.

I think it feels slow because I have been using free resources, I have to learn new things on the way and the returns have seemed relatively small compared to what I first made by accident.

I hope the next month I will understand what I have done, prove that the returns far out-weigh the minimal expense and then promoting these for others to try, if they are interested.

I wonder if there would be enough interest to start a forum about this?

I have heard about squidoo for a while and just started working with it.

I like it.

Just to have my page ranked on a daily basis is already fun.

So far I have earned only from my affiliate links, not from coop pay or adsense with squidoo yet.

I have been a Squidoo member since Sep 2007 but it was just recently that I started adding lenses when I saw the potential of earning some. I have a total of 6 and keep adding more. I have 1 about SEO (a guide on how to get high ranking in search engine).

There is some formula for Squidoo rankings, it would be impossible to say how much weighting comes from backlinks.

However, it is sugested that Google will prefer to show your link to others if you have backlinks, as it is considered that people are referring to you for good content.

In my opinion, you should considering keeping up the use of affiliate links. You must have a pretty good knack for what you are doing.

The coop pool is relatively hard to make substantial as it relies on the pool of money available and the number of lenses in each rank bandwidth.
