Do you write for Squidoo?

HI! I am on Squidoo. I published two "squids" and have a third one that I am not through with. I don't know how to make money from there so I guess I will let you know if anything changes. LOL I almost forgot I had it until I saw another question about Squidoo the other day. I guess I need to update my squid or something.

I have been on squidoo for over a year. I have over 100 lenses now and it keep growing each day. No matter how many how many lenses you have, there is always going to be a learning curve. There is only so much to learn and only so much time. They have numerous modules available that I have not tried them all out. They are constantly trying to improve and add things to the site. There are a couple of links I would suggest anyone new to squidoo http://www.squidoo.com/theanswerdeck/hq http://www.squidu.com/forum/ One is the answer deck and the other is the forum. The answerdeck has many of the questions you may be asking and among other things. As for money, there is a couple months lag between the time you start and the time you get paid. Say your lenses rank well this month, then you would get paid in October. There is no guaranty though. A lot of times the first month, you get nothing because in the course of the month, your lenses don't typically rank well. If you are lucky, you will get into tier three. Your lenses have to land in tier 1, 2, or 3. I have actually had lenses in all three tiers. Getting into tier 2 is not so hard though, but it does take work to get lenses to land in one sometimes.

I have not tried there. I am responding so that you will have at least your initial response and kick the discussion back up for someone else to see. There are about five other discussions that are about earning by writing, and you may learn something there.I think they all mention squidoo.

I have just started and was about to start a similar discussion! I hope this discussion brings in a lot of tips, and I can see it already has. As for my advice, I would just recommend to sending your Squidoo link to just some of your very close friends on myLot. I did that and she was so impressed and found my Squidoo lens useful that she recommended it to a friend! I also made a banner and put it in my profile. We could read each others lens if you'd like.

I really wish I could help you out. I've only done a few lenses myself and only my most recent has a really good rating. I'm pretty stoked about that. xoxo Cyne http://www.squidoo.com/imreportcard

I know that Squidoo has links to some videos on You Tube that go through the process of how to use your lens in order to earn money. I checked some of them out and the information is very useful. Still haven't gotten around to putting up a lens myself... I also recommend going to 'The Squidoo Answer Deck', which can be found at the bottom of the main page under the help heading. It has the answers to a lot of questions and concerns someone new to Squidoo might have. Best of luck to you!

I've seen a couple posts where people have commented about squidoo but I haven't looked into it. I did look into Bukisa though and I am thinking of signing up there.
