Advice for a new Squidoo lensmaster

You may find Squidoo more confusing than Hubpages initially. But it is definitely more fun than just article writing. In Squidoo, you can create many different types of modules including polls and add videos, etc. If you are really creative, your lens will be very interesting. I don't have many lenses there, but I'm earning a few cents per month. At the same time, you can also promote other people's products at Squidoo. If you do sell them, they will give you a cut or something. I have more really explored earning money from that angle yet though. Both Squidoo and Hubpages have a great community, but I just do not have the time to socialize and mingle with them. If you do, that will definitely help with improving your page rank, I guess.

I have been with Squidoo a few months. I have published three lens and have just submitted one for publication. I have had a few views and likes but not many. I have not earned any money yet. I liked Squidoo and I love creating lens but I have no idea about how to promote them or earn money. I find Squidoo very complicated. I have had much better success with Associated Content. I have actually earned a few dollars.

It takes some time before your lens picks up traffic. I improve my Squidoo page rank by promoting my lens on twitter, facebook, stumbleupon and digg. I also update my lenses every three months, that's what what Squidoo advises. You can do all this and still have very little traffic, becasue the most important thing is that your lens is well written, and that you write about a subject you are passionate about. Good luck, I hope traffic on your lenses picks up.
