Make Money Writing: With Squidoo
We cover creating lenses with Squidoo extensively in our make money writing traing, so if you’re a Sell Your Writing Online NOW (SYWON) subscriber, I hope you have at least three or four lenses.
I’ve always looked on Squidoo as a way of creating a presence and backlinks, rather than looking on the site as a way to make money writing.
This post "One Squidoo Lens, One month, $1,000" opened my eyes to the income generating potential of Squidoo, however:
Now I’ve earned $1,000 in a 30 day period from a single lens. That is also very very cool.
Will the earnings from this lens carry on forever? I doubt it.
Will I be able to use the lessons I’ve learned from this lens and the nearly 400 others I’ve built to continue to build lenses that make money? You betcha.
Just because of the money-making potential, I’m devoting more time to Squidoo in 2009, and I strongly suggest you to likewise — Squidoo lenses are simple to create (you should be able to create a lens from an article in under 20 minutes), and as you can see, they have great potential.
