The Power of Communication in Making Money
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 has increased their earnings by 10x or more! Those that were making in the single or double digits each month are now pulling in several hundred bucks a month. A few of us are now well into the 4 figure range.
Money aside, the chat room has been invaluable for swapping ideas about module combinations, lens theory, backlink sources, new tools or sites we could build and a ton of other stuff.
I know that I wouldn’t be where I am without the help and support of the chat room.
Maybe chat rooms aren’t your thing or forums aren’t up your alley. All I can say is that the more you can talk to and bounce ideas off of people trying to accomplish the same things as you are, the more successful you become.
If you like, stop by the chat room and say hi. And if not, i encourage you to find a way to communicate with others about your adventures and passions. It helps immensely.

All I can say is I agree with you 100%. I never got into chatrooms, Twitter is the closest thing I use to being a chatroom, but forums and message boards have been my source of success. I have membership on more than 300 different forums and I post like crazy on all of them, and every body I talk to on them knows about Squidoo, cause I’m often talking about Squidoo! That’s what gets me traffic to my lenses. However, usually I’m just talking about ordinary every day things with these people. I’ve made a lot of online friends, and that is what has helped me most of all on Squidoo. You see, I’m not on the forums to promote my lenses, I’m on the forums to just chat with other people who like the same things I do. People like that (I like that!) People don’t want you promoting something and than never talking with them. So, yep, I agree with you: It’s All About The Power of Communication!

This is an area that I need to work on. I am not big in chat rooms or forums.
