5 WAYS TO MAKE MONEY USING SQUIDOO !

Setting up your own website costs money, even if you do it yourself. But free web pages provided by other sites or providers always come with provisos – such as the fact that you can’t sell on them.

   

Don’t they?

Not all of them – in fact, one of the best ones gives you all the tools you need to make a nice income every month. All you need to do is put in the work required.

The name of the site is Squidoo, and whether you use it to make money elsewhere or to make money through the site itself it holds a lot of promise if you learn how to tap into it correctly.

Once you have opened an account with Squidoo you will notice how easy it is to start setting up your own web pages. I say pages because there is no limit on how many you can have. Whether you go for dozens or hundreds, the only limits are those you put on yourself.

   

This is a great opportunity for affiliate marketers who want to have a strong web presence in order to be able to recommend and sell products that they will receive a commission on. And seeing as you can also earn purely from having a page or more on Squidoo (known as a lens) there are two great ways to earn money here.

When it comes to building your first lens you will see that there are a vast number of modules which you can select from in order to make your lens take on a unique appearance. Some of these are built to earn money – the Amazon and eBay modules, for example, and dozens more besides.

Others are designed to give you a lot of leeway to create your own layouts and add banners and other advertising material, so there is a lot you can do here to create something that is truly original. Every lens is ranked within the whole of Squidoo, and there is no doubt that the higher the LensRank the better your chances of getting more visitors and sales as a result.

New lenses can be found and indexed by Google fairly quickly if they are of good quality – and that is really the secret of making money with Squidoo. Don’t expect to create a lens in ten minutes and be making sales the following day. Make a good start, publish your lens and then start adding new material to it on a regular basis. You need to build something worthwhile so offer your visitors real value. If you can do that then they will come to trust you and be more likely to spend money with you as a result.

  

If you don’t yet have any products to promote, join ClickBank or Commission Junction (or both) and find a niche to start promoting. There are so many products to choose from on these two sites that you could create a new lens every day on a different subject and not run out for ages.

The trick to building a lens that is successful is to do so over time. Make sure you edit it and add to it regularly just as you would with any other website, as this will help your ranking within the search engines. Don’t be afraid to experiment, because your most successful lenses might not be ones you would expect!

You will receive a royalty payment per lens per month, which will vary depending on how well each one performs. Together with commissions from items sold through your lenses and through your affiliate links you can make a lot of money here once you have established yourself.

One tip for getting started – make sure you start with a subject you love and have a real passion for. The chances are good that there will be plenty of other people out there who feel the same, and your natural enthusiasm for it will help you to build a great lens to start with.

Make use of all the helpful tools Squidoo offers to help you in your lens building efforts too; you’ll soon notice the difference.

Business : How To Make Money With MySpace

Business : How To Make Money With MySpace
  

If you are already a member of MySpace you will know that they don’t exactly take kindly to people promoting their wares on the website. But if that’s the case, how do you make money by using the site?

The answer is simple – you do it subtly and in a way that will naturally encourage people to follow what you are saying and go elsewhere to find out more.

The key to success is to build a profile that tells people who you are and what you are about – which will brand you as an expert in a particular area and get you remembered for all the right reasons when you want to promote your affiliate links online.

   

So what do you get when you join MySpace? First and foremost you get a space of your own to tell the world who you are. It’s a good idea to look up some other random pages by other people to see how they use theirs, particularly if they are internet marketers who have ulterior motives for joining this social networking site.

You will get your own MySpace URL that can be promoted elsewhere, but the most important section of your profile page is the About Me section, as this is your chance to tell people what your interests are. If you are promoting products in a particular niche topic, make sure your profile is relevant to that niche in order to be seen as something of an expert. If you do this people will remember you and be more interested in seeing what you have to say when they need information on that topic.

   

If you have a presence elsewhere online – a blog, a website, and any other social networking sites that maybe aren’t quite so strict about not promoting your business as MySpace is – make sure you include them in your links section. This will encourage more traffic to flow between all your web presences, and you’ll start to make more sales as a result.

You can also make good use of the blog you get on MySpace; the great thing about this is that you can include hyperlinks (clickable links) to other websites. Again, you don’t want to be trying to sell directly off this but you could set up a page on Squidoo – a site that welcomes the idea of making money from a free web page, and you’ll find out more about it in a later post – or promote affiliate links or products on your own website that you can link into.

I’m sure you can see by now that the way to make money from having an account with MySpace is to do so indirectly. Before you post anything new to your MySpace page or blog, ask yourself if you are blatantly advertising or doing so in a more subtle way. There is no reason why you can’t recommend your own website that is packed full of information on your specialist subject and hopefully make some sales off there as a result.

You may not realize it but there are a number of ways you can cash in with Amazon.com. The way you choose as being the best one for you will largely depend on what you are already doing, and that’s where this particular blog comes in.

By doing this you will find that you can take advantage of the sheer amount of traffic and respectability that this website commands all over the world. It’s a lot like eBay in this respect – a lot of the hard work is done for you.

One of the best things about Amazon is that everyone can make some money with it if they want to, because it has a number of options to choose from. You will no doubt have heard about the Advantage program, which is ideal if you already have published books (no matter whether they are self published or through a conventional publisher) as you can get them listed on Amazon by following the instructions they give you in the Advantage program. This method also enables you to use On Demand publishing to minimize the risk of self publishing stacks of books that may not be sold.

But there is a lot more to Amazon than that. If affiliate marketing is more up your street, then take a look at their Associates program, which allows you to recommend customers to various products in order to make sales on them. The program is very well put together and as you would probably expect from such a major site there is a lot of information to read through as well.

Once you have signed up for free, you should make the effort to explore everything the site offers you. You will see that you can create banners, ads and much more to enhance your site – and this even extends to the colors you pick for your ads.

But one area you should definitely look at is the potential to create what they call an aStore. There are examples of these given on Amazon itself, and while they are quite basic in nature they do allow you to create web pages that are centered around a particular theme. So for example if your website is about golf, you can create an aStore which is stocked with the best books on golf and golfing.

This can be linked to from your main website or blog, giving an extra dimension to your site and giving you the opportunity to make more money from it as a result.

You can also select which colors you wish to use for these pages (you can build many more than just one!) so it will look exactly the same as your main website. You will need a website to join the program and they will vet it to make sure it is suitable for inclusion (but don’t worry, most are – it’s only the obvious types of exclusions that will apply) but this doesn’t even have to be one you pay for; people have got in by having a well constructed page or site from a free provider.

There is the potential to make a lot of money from the Associates program in particular, and it’s great to use if you have a whole range of websites since you can take advantage of the wide range of products they stock – it’s not just books and DVDs!
