How to Make Money with Squidoo

There are several ways to make money with Squidoo , but the one I am going to focus on is getting sales through your Squidoo lenses. Unlike several article directories , Squidoo lets you embed your affiliate links in your lenses. This helps in increasing your sales because you don't have to direct the traffic to a landing page as squidoo itself becomes your landing page.But for the traffic to convert into sales you have to understand the psychology of your target customer.

Most of the traffic on Squidoo lenses comes from Google. If you search for a popular product on Google , then chances are that you will get at least one Squidoo lens for that product in the search results on the first page of Google. If not, then it's an open invitation to build a lens around that product and let google make you money with Squidoo.

When building a lens , always start with an introduction to what you will discuss in your article. This should be followed by the text boxes. Often customers search for a particular product or a definite brand because they have heard positive reviews about the product. In that case, your work becomes easier as you will only have to drive them to the sales page. Keeping in mind the psyche of the customer, try to write short paragraphs instead of giving out too much unrelated information that might put off the customer.

Squidoo allows you to use images and videos on your lenses. Take advantage of these features and upload related videos or images for the product you are promoting. Many people are the visual kind and a video or image can sometimes make you more money with squidoo lenses than a bunch of text does.

Another important aspect about driving more target traffic is to add new content to your lens at regular intervals.A good way to do this is to add an RSS module to your lens.You can do this by typing your keyword in the " find rss" box.This will keep your content fresh and Google spiders will crawl your lens often and keep you listed on the first page for your product. Thus, you can expect Google to send traffic searching for your product in the search term to your lens thereby helping you make more money with Squidoo.
