What In The World Is Squidoo?
Squidoo is a free to use website that makes it easy for anyone to set up a single web page called a lens. People that build these lenses are called lensmasters.
Most of these hand built pages or lenses created usually center around a single topic or "niche" that the user has a flair or passion for writing about.

Squidoo was launched in October 2005 by Squidoo.com LLC based in Irvington, New York. The site came out of beta testing in March of 2006.
Squidoo today hosts over 400,000 user built pages and has thousands of registered users.
Building a page or lens is very easy and most people can build one in less than fifteen minutes. A Squidoo lens can be very basic or quite extensive depending on
how much work the builder decides to put into it.
Here we offer a free easy to use step by step guide for getting started earning money with Squidoo.
Making Money With Squidoo
There are people that actually earn a living using Squidoo. These lensmasters usually have a large number of quality lenses that they have put a lot of time and effort into.
One huge bonus about earning money with Squidoo is that you have no web hosting costs. The only cost to you is the time you put into pages that will earn you money.
When you create a lens and Squidoo places adevertising on them. As a lensmaster you receive a percentage or revenue share royalties earned from Squidoo's advertising on your lenses.
Paypal is the payment system Squidoo uses and you have the option of setting your minimum payout at one dollar. You also have an option to donate all or a portion of your revenue
to charity. This is an option not a requirement.
Another way to earn cash is to sell and promote your own products. If you have an eBay store, Cafepress shop, then creating a Squidoo lens is one way for you to get traffic to those sites.
You can create a lens that is related to the topic of the products you are selling. You can use lens building functions of adding eBay, Amazon or CafePress items that you wish to promote.
You can also promote your own affiliate products on your lenses. Squidoo is also an excellent tool for getting traffic to your own websites by using a link list on your lens.
This is not a get rich quick scheme to make money and we aren't promoting another ebook either. There is nothing to buy and the only cost to you is your time.
Taking the time to build a quality network of lenses on Squidoo can result in excellent financial rewards month after month.
