Click: What Millions of People Are Doing Online and Why it Matters

I am constantly forced to remind myself that the only way that I can earn an income online (or anywhere else for that matter) is by understanding how customers think, and what people are searching for. What that means in a practical manner is that when I write an article online for which the goal is to earn income, whether that is for myself, or for a charity, I need to think like the people online that are searching for my topic, and learn how and when they want to learn more about my topic.

For instance, if I am writing an article about how to write a better Squidoo lens, I need to think like people who want to write a better Squidoo, why they do, and when they will work on their lens, who they are. Who is my audience, and why are they interested? Only by doing this, can I tap into that audience and write an article that they might want to read.

I say might, because no matter how good your article is, and how well you write it, there will only be a percentage of your target audience who will actually take the time to read it.

I recommend the book above, Click: What Millions of People Are Doing Online and Why it Matters as a great beginning to start understanding why people go online.

I had some questions about the new Module Pages on Squidoo that I asked yesterday. And here are the answers that Kimberly gave me.

1. Do ad clicks go into the general pools already set up?
Yes, same as lenses.

2. Do purchases off the page (some of my plexos have links to affiliate sites) go to the lensmaster?
Yes - they get credited to the parent lens.

3. Is there any way lensmasters can alter the pages?
These pages are generated based on existing data on the parent lens. They can't directly be altered.

4. Do i need to have a toc in my lens for that to appear?
no - we automatically put that in at this time.

5. tell us how to get the address for the page without clicking on send to twitter, etc.
For now you can right click and copy the link. We're looking into making getting that link easier.

Thanks!
