The Rules of the Squidoo Quest
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!
okay, let’s follow up yesterdays admittedly ambitious post with a bit of clarification as to how I am going to go about getting to this goal of earning $2,000 a month from Squidoo lenses.
First, there are a few basic things to get out of the way:
Fully transparent - All of the lenses I make are going to be in the squidoo account here. Feel free to look at them, dissect them, use ideas from them, ask questions about them etc.
Fully accountable - As we progress, I’ll post regular income, traffic, and other updates to illustrate how far along we are. I will probably adapt the current ‘Earnings’ tab to reflect this new information since the current graph and info on there is a bit outdated and not applicable to my new focus.
Multiple Revenue sources - I am reserving the right to use other affiliate networks and programs in additions to the ones that Squidoo natively supports. However, any Amazon revenue will go through Squidoo’s modules (i.e. I won’t shortcut Squidoo’s share to get to the goal faster). I will make a point to try to pick affiliate programs that are easy to get into. If you are planning on following along, I would recommend signing up for Commission Junction and Pepperjam for starters. It’s free and both have a huge array of programs to choose from.
How to get the most out of following the Captain on this dangerous, monster-filled journey of the high Squidoo seas :
Subscribe to the RSS Feed - so you don’t miss any posts that can help you.
Ask Questions - If you don’t understand what I’m doing or why it’s working and you don’t say anything, I can’t help you. If you can’t find me in the chat room, just drop me a PM and i’ll get back to you. With any luck there may be any number of people hanging out in there willing to help out.
Participate - As time allows, I’m planning on holding several chat room webinars on different concepts, tricks, methods etc. These will be free, but I reserve the right to limit the number of attendees to keep things from getting out of control (100 people in a chat room makes any kind of discussion tough).
Actually do stuff - By far and away the people I’ve seen that are the most successful at anything in life, online or off, are those that are willing to actually put in some work. Build some lenses, then build some more. It’s the only way to learn what works and what doesn’t. I can help a bit with best practices, but at the end of the day, it’s up to you.

watching with interest! I would love to make $2000 a month on squidoo!
I noticed on your Excalibur lens, you did not include a guest book — i wondered why.
I, too, watch and learn with interest. Is it possible to accomplish this feat without Commission Junction or Pepperjam? (For example, if one is a member of Zazzle, Etsy, ArtByUs, AllPosters, etc., would that suffice?)
I’m trying to join Pepperjam, and it appears the form where we enter our ss# is not secure. The padlock at the bottom is crossed out. That doesn’t seem right to me.

I will definitely be listening. It is frustrating to put in a lot of work then find that the affiliate programs change so drastically as has happened with both Amazon and Ebay.
