Using Squidoo to its full potential, however, requires some of my Success Tips below.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nTo get your Squidoo pages rank higher in Google, and to get more clicks to your sales website\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2983\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">What a minute&#8230; Is that Seth Godin as a baby?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>1. Get Tagging<\/h3>\n<p>\u00a0In the sidebar of your page (when you\u2019re editing it) you\u2019ll see a space to add Tags. A tag is a keyword or keyphrase that is related to your page. As a general rule use about 20 tags on your lenses, and include the words and phrases that you want to be found for in Google. Make sure they are related to your page, for example, this page is focused on how you can make money on squidoo, so that will be in a tag, and make sure you\u2019ve included them in the actual content as well.<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>2. Craft a Compelling Title<\/h3>\n<p>\u00a0Grab attention! I see so many dull titles every day. Don\u2019t just list your keywords. Don\u2019t use a title that\u2019s been used before. Don\u2019t be afraid to make it long [and use brackets]. Your titles will decide whether people click to your pages or not.<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>3. Link Your Bio<\/h3>\n<p>\u00a0At the top of every one of your Squidoo pages will be your Author Bio Box. This is where a picture of you and a descriptive paragraph will be displayed for all visitors to see. Your Bio Box is a great space to talk about your income opportunity, your products, and to drive people to your website. Make sure you include clickable links to your website!<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>4. Polls and Guestbooks<\/h3>\n<p>\u00a0The more your visitors interact with your page, the more likely they will be to stick around and click your links. Simple as that. Get your visitors involved in some way. Get them invested. Get them voting in a Poll module, or writing their opinion in a Guestbook module.\u00a0 The keythat will allow you to make money on squidoo is 100% how many people see your lens.\u00a0 The more people it attracts, the more chances you have to sell them a product, or have them click on an ad, or whatever different method you have so you make money on squidoo.<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>5. Images Galore!<\/h3>\n<p>\u00a0There is nothing that looks more boring for a web surfer than a solid chunk of text. You need to inject some white space and some images into your message, to carry the reader\u2019s eyes down the page. Images ALWAYS make your text more readable. Just don\u2019t make your images glittery and flashing\u2026<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>6. Link Link Link<\/h3>\n<p>\u00a0The best place to put your website links on a Squidoo page is in the introduction. It\u2019s been shown to have an extremely high click-through-rate. Make your keywords bold, and make them clickable. Also include your links throughout your content, but don\u2019t go too wild. Squidoo has a rule that you can\u2019t link to the same website more than 9 time per page.<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>7. Be Contactable<\/h3>\n<p>\u00a0Make sure you include a way for people to contact you. Several ways. In your profile settings turn Contact to ON. Include your Twitter link. Your Facebook profile. A link to your Contact page on your website or blog. Don\u2019t remain a mystery if people want to get in touch to buy your products or start their own business in your downline!<br \/>\n\u00a0Squidoo will help you brand your name online as an expert on your company\u2019s products, and you will grow your business as a result. So don\u2019t stop at 1 lens. Share all your knowledge and advice!<\/p>\n<p>So are there alternatives to Squidoo?\u00a0 If you can make money on squidoo, can you make money on other sites?\u00a0 Can you <strong>make MORE money<\/strong> doing the same thing?<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Take this site for example.<\/h3>\n<p>** I <strong>blog about different topics<\/strong>, just like I would on Squidoo.<\/p>\n<p>** I can <strong>promote affiliate products<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>** I can <strong>promote another business<\/strong>, or venture I\u2019m involved in<\/p>\n<p>** I can <strong>blog about music<\/strong> lyrics if that\u2019s what intrigues me that day (like this post)<\/p>\n<p>** Really I have free reign, just like Squidoo.<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>But there\u2019s a difference\u2026<\/h3>\n<p>\u00a0We can have re-sale rights, and can earn an income by all of the above methods, <span>as well as<\/span> I am an affiliate of the entire system.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nI do both\u2026 I double my exposure.<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\n\u00a0I see this as a great addition to a Squidoo business.\u00a0 Take a look around the site and watch some of the videos.\u00a0 I was impressed when I first saw it.<br \/>\n\u00a0You can make money on Squidoo, and on this platform.\u00a0 I\u2019ve done Squidoo in the past, actually I continue to have lenses that provide revenue (gotta love Squidoo for that)!<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Do you really only want to make money on Squidoo?<\/h3><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn To Make Money On Squidoo And Some Alternatives Squidoo.com is the most popular site on the Internet for publishing pages about your passions, and is a great way to find new customers for your business. \u00a0 Squidoo offers a very attractive proposition \u2013 build as many webpages, or \u201clenses\u201d, on squidoo.com as you like, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,4,5,6,3,7,8,1],"tags":[9],"class_list":["post-5","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blogging","category-cool-stuff","category-electronics","category-empower-network","category-internet-marketing","category-music-lyrics","category-personal-development","category-uncategorized","tag-make-money-on-squidoo"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/empowernetwork.com\/hanserteam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/empowernetwork.com\/hanserteam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/empowernetwork.com\/hanserteam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/empowernetwork.com\/hanserteam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/empowernetwork.com\/hanserteam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/empowernetwork.com\/hanserteam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":271,"href":"https:\/\/empowernetwork.com\/hanserteam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5\/revisions\/271"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/empowernetwork.com\/hanserteam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/empowernetwork.com\/hanserteam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/empowernetwork.com\/hanserteam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
