I’ve found that there are three basic levels or types of income you seem to generate when you start out trying to make a few bucks, online or off. I’ve come to think of them loosely as ‘pebbles, rocks, and sand’. If you imagine a jar that, when full, will earn you as much money [...]
September was a pretty stinky month (relatively) for earnings from Squidoo. Of course, Hurricane Ike decidedly played a role in the drop off in money made from Squidoo. However, October is quickly turning into my best month ever by far.
In fact, I broke the $500 mark in one day for the first time yesterday!
I know [...]
I’ve found a great way to use graphs and charts to illustrate your point on your lenses. The best part is that the graphs and charts will automatically update when you update the data in the spreadsheet for the chart or graph.
I stumbled across this while I was playing with google docs a few weeks [...]
The Captain has been hard at work following the announcement about the animoto module last week. After scouring the web for various piratey Squidoo tools that we can all use to make more money and draw more traffic to our lenses I’m proud to announce the launch of a site dedicated to Squidoo Widgets – [...]
Now that we’ve established that rating swaps for lensrank are not worth your time, let’s talk about why doing (almost) anything for earnings from lensrank aren’t really worth it either.
Let’s take a hypothetical situation. You are a new squidoo lensmaster. You want to turn squidoo into a major income stream of yours, earning $2,000 a [...]
Even though it is clearly outlined in the Squidoo TOS as a no-no, I still run across Squidoo ‘rating swap’ threads on many marketing forums. If you run across one of these, I’d advise turning in another direction for several reasons, some of which may surprise you.
Your ratings aren’t fooling anyone but yourself- every once [...]
Lots of stuff happening today that’s Squidoo news related, figured a roundup post was in order.
4 new Modules were released (SquidBlog) today, I think the two Amazon modules are especially worth taking a look at. Haven’t looked too close to see which of these are evergreen, if any. I’ll cover that in a post soon. [...]
Harmony, the creator of the Squidom social voting site for squidoo lenses has started a new squidoo blog aggregator called Squidoosphere. It’s quite nifty, something I was hoping someone would start.
The front page of the site is a list of the most recent posts about squidoo that is updated in real time. However, your blog [...]
We’ve written a little bookmarklet for the Isle of Squid. It can be found on the Isle of Squid lens submission page.
Just click and drag the link up to your bookmark bar and the next time you need to submit a lens, just click it and presto bango it will copy your title, url, description [...]
As a few of us were hanging out in the squidoo chat room on mIRC talking to some of the newest Giant Squids (Congrats, by the way!) I think I began to realize the true power of communication and success on Squidoo (and in most things for that matter).
Since about February this year, virtually everyone [...]
