I have recently gone back to creating lots more Squidoo pages, and when I was checking my backlinks the other day, I noticed that my Squidoo backlinks had doubled!  I was astounded, and the funny thing was that I didn’t do anything to my lenses.  Just, left them all sitting.

I have been following PotPieGirl’s One Week Marketing for almost a year.  I bought my copy last February.  It came with an action plan, mind maps, the One Week Marketing book, and an interesting case study where she helped a young man make sales with her OWM strategies.

I haven’t stuck to her plan of building Squidoo lenses every week, but I have been creating them on a regular basis, and following her methods for getting traffic to them.  Her Squidoo strategies are right on target, and I make sales all of the time because of her action plan.  It’s rather easy money too, which I love!

Anyway, I found that by checking my Squidoo backlinks, they had doubled.  There is a feature called discovery in the sidebar of each Squidoo lens.  When you create your lense, and keep this feature on, it doubles your backlinks which of course is more traffic.  Better yet, traffic you don’t have to work for.

So, pick up your copy of One Week Marketing, and start making Squidoos.  It’s a great way to earn extra money every month!

Squidoo Marketing 101 - Making Money with Squidoo

Squidoo marketing is easy once you develop a system.  I just love Squidoo.  I have created over 100 Squidoo pages, and it’s nice to get money every month to my Paypal account.

The best part of creating Squidoo lenses is that the more you create, the more money you can make.  The key is to create Squidoos based on popular subjects, and have fun with them.  The more interesting facts and interactive information you can add, the better.  Take a look at the top Squidoo lenses of the day for ideas.  Click here…

There are a few basic things that you will want to keep in mind when building a Squidoo lense.  Put your keyword in the URL of the Squidoo, in the first sentence of the first paragraph, and use it throughout your lense.  Add images, video, RSS feeds (back to your money site), a guest book, and one great tip I picked up from PotPieGirl is to add a featured lense section, and use it to display links to your other Squidoo lenses.

Be sure to come up with at least 30 keywords related to your new lense, and add them as tags.  Once you have completed this, change your settings on your profile to receive cash or charity, set up your payment methods, add a picture, and add some words about yourself or your site, and be sure to link to your money site in your profile.

PotPieGirl is giving away a free Step By Step Squidoo Guide.  She is so knowledgeable about making money with Squidoo.  I highly recommend it.

Finally, access your SquidUtilities page, and ping your new lense.  Squidoo will let you create up to 10 lenses a day.  Be sure to lensroll each lense you create, this creates a backlink for you.  The lensroll icon is the little smiley face at the top of your new lense.  I also like to submit my new lense to my social bookmarks, and RSS directories.
