Feminine Perspective

I don’t know about you, but I received my Squidoo earnings today, Novermber 10, 2008. Unfortunately for me, my payment was a lot lower this month than it was last month.

Earnings: $18

Last month earnings:  $36

Previously, I made even more, but I sold 22 of my lenses….including my BEST ONE!!! Glad to see it’s still doing well, but I’m not the one earning from it now. That’s the thing…once you transfer your lens to a new lensmaster…all earnings go to that lensmaster too!!! Remember that.

Guess it’s about that time to start creating more Squidoo lenses. I think I will create some holiday lenses since Thanksgiving and Christmas are fast approaching.

How were your earnings this month?

Now you can add flash to your Squidoo lens… something that was not possible before.

I have come across a wonderful little tool that allows you to add flash (swf) files to your Squidoo lenses. It does not work with every swf file, but I have found that it works on 99% of the swf files I tried.

Check out ClearSpring.com and start adding flah games and flash movies to your Squidoo lenses to get more visitor participation.

Do you use Squidoo as part of your current SEO marketing campaign? We all know that a good lens can have traffic and ranking power!

Let me guess … you build Squidoo lenses to drive traffic and boost rankings to your current web sites, correct?

Have you ever thought of creating a Squidoo lens first? I don’t think many people do this. I mean, what better way to find hidden niches right? Squidoo can help you find a niche and build on that niche.

Try experimenting with this. Create a few squidoo lenses (about 10 of them) on different subjects. Market them through submitting to directories, blog commenting, social bookmarking and article marketing. Then sit back and track which ones, if any, are gaining good traffic after a few months. If you found a good niche, build a blog/site on the same subject as the lens. Then create hyperlinks (especially in the first paragraph of the lens) on your lens that lead to the new site you created.

It can be a win win situation…. you could find a good niche, build a great lens, build a great site and earn from all.

I love anything new that has to do with Squidoo. And recently I came across a great new site while chatting over at the Squidu forum. SquidTop was created by Captain Squid, Loyalis. It’s a custom blogging platform for Squidoo lensmasters to showcase their lenses to the world…or at least other SquidTop members.

If you are familiar with Wordpress blogging, then this will be simple as pie to setup. Just grab yourself a SquidTop blog and start posting, adding widgets and more. This is a great way to gain backlinks and exposure for your lenses.

If you are a Squidoo user, you may want to read this post… and if you are not, then maybe you should join now. Squidoo lenses have sent hundreds of quality, unique visitors to my sites.

Top 100 and Number 1

One of my Squidoo lenses made it into the Top 100 Squidoo lenses list about a month ago. And….it also made it to #1 in my selected category! And it is still #1. I’m not going to reveal the category or lens because that would just create more competition. You know that’s true. However, I will share with you how I did it…

What did I do to rank in the Top 100 and what can you do to achieve this?
