Making Money with Squidoo

I thought I would talk about broadening your thinking about how you can make money with Squidoo. There are just so many, many ways that Squidoo can earn you money that the list is practically endless, but I wanted to touch on just a few of them:

Here are the obvious:

1. Earn money from lensrank. If your lens's average monthly rank is in Tier 1, 2, or 3, you will earn money directly from Squidoo for that month.
   


2. Earn money from money making modules on Squidoo. Anytime someone buys anything from a Cafe Press, Amazon, or Ebay module that Squidoo provides--Squidoo will pay you money within 30-60 days on your monthly payout.


The not quite as obvious:


3. Become an affiliate partner with any one or more of numerous companies, add their ads or links on your lenses and if someone buys items from your links, you will earn a commission from that affiliate program. They will pay you, not Squidoo. For more information on becoming an affiliate seller, see Exponentially Compound Your Squidoo Earnings With Affiliate Marketing.


The least obvious:


4. Direct traffic to your print on demand sites like Zazzle or Cafe Press. You have one of more stores on these sites, you create one or more lenses to promote your store, if a customer buys anything from your store, the print on demand site will pay you.


5. Create a store on Etsy, Ebay, or Ecrater. Direct traffic to these stores with lenses promoting your store, your product, or your specials. If someone buys items from you on any of these sites, they pay you directly, and you ship the product to them.


6. Create one or more regular websites selling your niche products online. Use Squidoo as one of your marketing tools. When customers come to you through your Squidoo marketing, you will earn income from your sales. Here is a link to one that happened just the other day from the SquidU forum--just think, a $2000 sale directly attributable to Squidoo.


The offline possibility:


7. Create lenses about your brick and mortar store, office, or business. Use Squidoo as one of your marketing tools. Who knows what sales will come your way from that possibility? Here are two examples of lenses built for that purpose: Lake Erie Artists Gallery at Shaker Square and Are You a Retail Business Looking for Free Reputable Marketing and Another Income Stream?

So what do you think of your opportunities for earning money with Squidoo now?
