A website that allows you to accumulate knowledge, deem yourself to be an expert, and obtain wealth all within minimal effort appears to be a very entrepreneurial site both for the users and originators of Squidoo. Squidoo has developed a way to have people create content and derive traffic to their site only costing them a small sum. But knowing how intelligent Squidoo is, how about the outlining the opportunity to make money by simply talking about a topic you know about.
This guide will focus on a basic way to see your first dollar from your efforts on Squidoo and how to create and promote lenses.
- You want to come up with a topic you know a lot about and are interested in. The more narrow the topic the better.
- Make sure you topic is not already being covered.

- Create the lens and add content.
- Like any good blog post you want to revise and edit if necessary, then publish it.
- Lastly you must promote your lens. Submit it to StumbleUpon; write about it on Facebook and MySpace and any other place to get traffic to your post.
Once you have done that, depending on the amount of traffic you derive will be how much Squidcash you receive. Many “lens masters” earn more than $1,000 a year from Squidoo. Some make $10,000. Others are happy with $40 or $4. It’s free to sign up and easy to make money, sounds like a winner to me.
