Can Squidoo Make you $500 in one day? Yep.
Arr... This Be The Captain! Thanks for Stopping by to check out my piratey bag of Squidoo Tricks! If you are new here, you might want to get free updates and squidoo tricks delivered straight to you via RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
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 said I wasn’t going to announce anything until I hit the $1,000 a day mark, but I was pretty excited so I thought that I would share.
Could end up breaking the $5,000 mark for the month depending on how the last few days pan out…
I don’t mean for this post to brag (okay, maybe a little) but it just goes to show what you can accomplish with Squidoo if you just keep pounding day in and day out creating awesome lenses that sell great stuff.
I don’t sell ebooks on any of my lenses, although a lot of people do well with them and I don’t begrudge them that at all.
In fact, I don’t build lenses about things that I don’t feel comfortable talking to people about face to face in real life. I guess that is my true litmus test on what to build lenses on.
Either way, I’m halfway to the $1,000 / day mark, maybe I can hit it by the end of the year! we shall see….

My problem is that I am deaf and firstly I want to get that off my chest. Consequently most of my lenses so far are about that. That people are not comfortable about talking about this face to face is exactly the point I’m trying to get across.Therefore I cannot see how I can have happy titles about a serious subject. Once I have accomplished that then I will move on. In the meantime while I’m learning I still want to make these lenses as best I can.
I was talking with the Captain about this last night on the chat and it’s huge but I want to point out something on a smaller scale. I had never really heard of affiliate marketing last January when I started participating on the chat. I’m now averaging about $5 a day which a lot less than the Captain is but if I kept that rate steady for a year it’s nearly $2000 and an extra couple thousand dollars a year for a self-employed artist is a big deal.
Good info. We need all the help we can get. I have never worked so many hours and so hard for absolutely no return. can anyone give a condensed version of what to do on these lenses to get started? I am an Amazon affiliate. (Don’t need to be one for Squidoo, but I thought I’d try.) I don’t understand Amazon’s instructions all the time. Would appreciate any help. Thanks.
Way to go, Captain! Some call it bragging, I call it inspiring. I was just reading elsewhere that a person needs 60 lens to make $1,000 per month, if you’re lucky. Then I end up here and find out you’re getting that income in TWO DAYS. Now that’s motivational…at least to me. Good luck hitting your next goal.
Hi,
I have recently gone through your blog while rambling in the labyrinth of Squidoo and am amazed to note that you are able to pick up such a heavy bag of bucks in an easy way on your shoulder.Please kindly lead me light.I am awefully in need to earn something with the help of my poetic calibre.
Thanking a lot,

[...] That will last only until Google changes its page rank method, but the site linked above mentions several other advantages (and a few disadvantages) to Squidoo, such as the fact that it lets you link to your own products that aren’t on Squidoo. You can also use it to improve your blog page rank by sending traffic from Squidoo. Also see Can Squidoo Make You $500 in One Day? Yep. [...]
Hi Captain,
Is it possible for anyone who lives in Spain to make any kind of cash with Commission Junction who are forever rejecting my affiliate forms saying that the telephone number does not compute apart from that is it really possible for anyone in the European Market like Spain to be able to make some Cash from Squidoo itself?
Pleased that you are able to make that much a Day. I see so many people say they make money but none are from Spain as yet.

Wow, congratulations!
I’ve been following your blog for some time and have been really amazed at the potential of squidoo. I’m glad you decided to post about it a bit earlier
I really hope you hit the $1000/day mark by the years end!
