Squidoo - more than just a one-eyed orange octopus.

Squidoo is kind of like a website that allows users to publish articles on anything and then make money off of those aforemention articles. In fact, Squidoo, is a website that allows users to publish articles on anything and then make money off of them. The pages you make on Squidoo can link back to your website, promote a product, or be about your favorite type of Ben and Jerry’s icecream. We’ll be focusing on the first two cases because, as good as icecream is, nothing beats blatant site advertising!

HOW TO SQUIDOO (IT RHYMES!)

1. Sign up, preferably under my inconspicious referral link.

2. Pick a topic for a lens (Squidoo’s fancy way of saying article).

3. Begin creating a lens. This involves a lot of clicking on buttons and refreshing pages. Oh, and writing.

Now, there are two ways you can go: creating a good lens or a bad lens.

Good Lens: Lots of quality content and informative links. A benefit to society as a whole. Takes forever to create - example.
Bad Lens: Blatant site promotion, lots of affiliate links, lots of useless money-making opportunities. The scourge of the internet.

Think about it - do you want visitors to your lens or backlinks to your website? The obvious choice, of course, is visitors due to the fact that they can still find your website and will still make you money backlinks because everyone loves backlinks!

OH, ONE MORE THING
Squidoo doesn’t just get you traffic - it gets you money. Add eBay, Amazon, and other ads to your lense and earn! You’ll probably only make five bucks, but that’s enough to buy half of a Starbucks coffee. Join now - the opportunities are limitless (kinda)!
