Are you making money with your Squidoo lenses? What is your secret? Have you posted your lens on traffic exchanges or some other website to bring viewers to it? I've created 6 lenses on Squidoo, and thus far have made 16 cents, woohoo. I need to generate more traffic to my lenses, I'm thinking of rejoining some traffic exchange websites. But I guess 16 cents isn't bad considering I haven't even been promoting the lenses. How much have you made on Squidoo?

I got started with squidoo 2 days ago I created 6 lenses but haven't got any views yet but I read a lens from this lady saying she was making over $300 a month, and it says to wait at least 6 months before your lens starts working for you I hope it's true because I really like squidoo, I like making pages on subjects.

I think you were looking at Janet's. Not everyone makes that amount of money after 6 months. I have been with them for more than 6 months and am making less that $10, but each month, I usually am making more. This last month was my best so far.

I haven't made any money yet. I don't have any reviews though 10 people have stopped by. I haven't had any luck with traffic exchanges myself but I may try again. I wish you lots of traffic. Nice to meet you.

I haven't used squidoo so I have no suggestions. Sorry that I can't help.

perhaps we can work out something to help each other, I tried this one before, however I did not do well at all and did not get anything out of it. By the way what is the minimal payout?

I believe it's $5. Personally I think it's worth the time, even if you don't reach payout. I have one site that lists my referral links to all my other money making sites, so even if I'm not earning money on Squidoo, at least I'm getting my referral links out there.

I'm working here 3-4 months now and I'm getting 30-50 USD/month. I'm really happy of these earnings.. Every month I can buy something from ebay. :) Now I'm looking for 8GB MicroSD

I have 2 lenses. I have tried to put them in profile pages in a few web 2.0 sites. But all I can say is earning a substantial amount from Squidoo can be very difficult. The main thing is that the topic of your lenses should be very unique and not overly blogged over the Internet like earning online, businesses and so on. Of course your lense can give some touches of SEO to enhance traffic further for better earning. Cheers.

I have two lenses and I haven't made anything. I really didn't get it when I stumbled upon the site. I think the thing to do is write about things that are in current common conversation or like you say promote, but do it to the hilt.
