It has been a few days since I last posted here. Well, what was I doing??? Hmmm… I was busy on some Squidoo Lenses projects, what’s that? Am I too secretive?
Well, I was experimenting with Squidoo Lenses, I have heard many people saying Squidoo Lenses are Google Juices. It is one of the web2.0 website. There are people saying that it works like a super blog, you can write your post, you can arrange your photos inside Squidoo, you can also attach YouTube video via Squidoo…
Best part, Squidoo shares profit with you.
You can insert multiple money making modules into your Lens, what is that? It is like a Wordpress Widget, it is some small programs that you can insert to link your Squidoo Lenses to sell products from Amazon, from eBay, Orbitz, … etc etc etc. Squidoos will pay you for some loyalty if there is a sale made.
Sound interesting?
If you are a newbies looking at making some money online, Wordpress Blogging is one of the best way, Squidoo Lenses can be another good way.
I have created a few Squidoos Lenses and I have also had a success that my Squidoo Lens was ranked #3 on Google within 1 week. It is still hovering between #3 – #5 position now.
You can checked out some of my Squidoo Lenses on my earlier post.

Squidoo is wonderful! You’ll love it, and you’ll be so glad you joined.
I just got my first payday:$10.28. In April I made 13 lenses, and than didn’t build any more until August, when I added 62 more (about half are still draft/WinP, I’m not finished writing the content for all of them yet). Squidu forum says that the pay-outs are for two-months past, so the one I just got now was for July, not August. So I guess after reading the Squidu forum, it means that the $10.28 was for the 13 lenses I made in April only? Cause all of my other lenses were started after August 10th. If I’m reading their comments right that means my October payday should be about $70+-, right? Cool.
Well, if my unfinished lenses are already bringing in money, than they well do better once they are finished. I hope I have them all completed soon. Once they are finished they should actually start making more money right? (I hope).
I’m hopeing that in the long run I’ll be making over $100 per month; I’ve heard that several people are doing that already. Are any of you guys reading this also on Squidoo? I’ve also heard that the Google slap will be affecting the high-payout folks this month. Did it? Did anyone make over $100 this month?
Well, here’s the link to my Squidoo Profile, if any of you haven’t checked it out yet, feel free to do so: http://www.squidoo.com/ekography
You don’t get paid immediatly, but once you start geting money, you get paid every month. Squidoo’s Payout levels change every month, for the month of July the payout per lens was:
$4.12 (top 100 lenses)
$0.73 (top 1000 lenses)
$0.04 (top 10,000 lenses)
and if your lens isn’t in the top 10,000 than you don’t get anything for it that month at all!
However those figures do not include affiliate commisions. If you add MoneyMaker modules you make more money, providing that people buy the items you recomend.
I use eBay, Amazon, and CafePress on all of my lenses.
The payout for those is:
eBay 50% of what the seller earned.
Amazon 4% – 7% of the sale price.
CafePress for some reason isn’t listed yet?
You also get $5 when you recommend others, after they join and after they earn thier first $15.
Squidoo says that the average payout for their lensebuilders is $35 per month. Most stay around the $10 range while a few hit $150 per month… and a handful are now making $400 – $500 per month.
As Squidoo gains more popularity these figures are expected to rise.
Well, there you have it…. how I make money on Squidoo. So, while my $10.28 is starting out small, it is something, and if all goes well, it’ll soon be in the triple digits.
Good luck to you with your Squidooing! And don’t forget to post links to your lenses on your blog so we can check them out! I love searching for new lenses to read.
