Did you know that just by having a Lens on Squidoo you make money. So it stands to reason that the more Lenses you have the more money you can make.
Here are some other ways you can make money with Squidoo;
You can promote your affiliate products
Promote your own products like your Zazzle or Cafe Press stores
You can also make money using Squidoo's eBay and Amazon modules. If someone buys something from these site using your module you get paid.
That's some ways to make money using Squidoo. Do you know of any others? Let us know.

I have 80+ lenses over there. I have a some zazzle and cafe press on at some of my lenses but have never made money from that. I have made some money with amazon though.

Using as many ways to get the word out about your Lenses as possible will not only help get more traffic, but also help boost your Lenses on the search engines where you get your best traffic that's more apt to convert to sales. Try commenting on related blogs and forums, writing articles to submit to article directories and pinging your Lenses.

I use tagfoot. Once in a while I will use stumbleupon but I really don't like it but we need to limit what we add there as if you stumble to many from one site, they will prevent you from stumbling until you stumble enough from antoehr. I blog about some of my lenses and use twitter. I also use facebook to get some of my lenses known. I have lenses in all tiers.

I have a lens which is about how to save money, and how it is as important to save as the make money...

To be honest, I only really did it to create links to other projects and just to write about my experiences rather than as an actual money-making exercise, so the fact that I have not yet made a dollar is probably unsurprising...
I really should promote it a bit more, but I do have a number of blogs and other projects that take up my time...

Artguy - Thanks for your kind comments, you are right I should make some more...
Moneymummy - Good work, you should reply with a link to your lens so we can see what you have done... There are lots of ways you can promote your lens within the squidoo community, that's probably the first step you should make after creating a lens - find similar lenses and leave comments - just like leaving comments on blogs..chances are other people will then visit your lens in return...

I just started using Squidoo and so far it seems like an alright place. I think you would have to make a lot of lenses to make any money.

I have an account with Squidoo but I don't know how to earn. I feel that it will take me forever before getting paid. Unlike here, every post counts and I can see it immediately in my earnings. Educate me about Squidoo.

Zazzle? I never heard of them it sounds interesting have you made money off of them? I might want to try them out because I have a lot of neat ideas for tee shirts and stuff like that. I might try them out thanks for the tip. Do you think zazzle is better then cafe press? I haven't tried neither one of them.So any tips on both would be helpful

Thanks for the tip I think I will try them out, because it seems like they have more of a product line then cafe press. It seems like you can me all sort of stuff.

I don't think its true that you can just put up a bunch of lenses and make money without doing anything. The way that Squidoo shares revenue is based on the average lens rank of your pages so you need to work at getting them well ranked. What is obvious is that most people don't bother, but by doing a simple health check on SquidUtils (http://squidutils.com/) you will find out how to make your lens better and rank higher.

Squidutils rocks. I use that all the time when it comes to pinging my lenses when I update them. You really have to work at making quality lenses. Quality lenses have a better chance at ranking well even though we all are competing with each other to get the top spots. They started basing it off of averaging this summer. Even 8 cents is better than nothing. Updating is the best thing you can do with you lenses and choosing the right keywords. I've had over 100 hits on just one lens. I currently have 80+ lenses there. The more lenses you have, the better chance you have of making more money there. You also should always write about what interests you.

Thank you very much for the info. I'm just starting back to online earning and currently seriously learning back the thing that I have left out months ago, not because frustrated, but because of other causes. Great info and please share it next time

For me my Squidoo lenses are less about making money and more for the experience and to grow my writing. If they make money, great...but if not, I'm not going to cry about it. I also don't spend a whole lot of time on them, as I have projects that make me far more money. But it is nice for a few extra bucks. :)
