Have you earn royalties from Squidoo.com yet?

I've been a member of squidoo for years and just had one successful lens that just makes a few cents a month. I've got 7 lenses now some of them are quite new but even the ones that get quite a few visitors haven't earned anything yet. I can't work out why. I've found a lot of helpful lenses that give advice on how to earn more on squidoo and have made changes to my lenses and promote them a bit more so hopefully I'll start to see some results soon. I think to make a decent amount of money on a site like squidoo you have to have a lot of good lenses that get a lot of traffic which is hard to achieve.

I long ago gave up on Squidoo. I found it very time consuming and complicated to begin with but I stuck with it. I created two or three lenses. I got some views and good feedback but not one cent. I finally gave up on it. Some writers do well and even very well on Squidoo. I was not one of them.

Its funny you mention this because NO I have not been paid yet for this month. We used to get paid early in the month @ 12th so I dont know whats going on now. I have been a member for years and the earnings used to be very good but every since they added the ranking system, NOT any more. I login daily just to get the credits. Better read over the points/levels to see how you can earn. Traffic helps a lot; that's how I earn from my lenses. Good luck.

Hiya yspmyl., I cannot find you on Squidoo at all but I have been and still am in that kind of problem. My link is on my profile page. Please let us know where you are so I can see what you write about too then maybe give a better opinion.xxx

Uhh, no! That really is discouraging, yspmyl. 6 months? I can't believe it. I joined Squidoo in October and I have been getting royalties ever since my first payday (only two to be exact). I should also mention that my other Squidoo account has received payments thrice since October (started late August with that account). i don't know what to say or where to start because Squidoo is so vast and the payment system is complex. Almost all new users don't understand Squidoo and get away from it without even trying to understand (thus losing a great chunk of residual income!). Glad you are still trying... great! The first thing you should know is that your lenses should be below an average lensrank of 85,000 to earn any royalties. For example, if one of your lenses had an average lensrank of 40000 in October, you get a small royalty two months later i.e. on December. Here is a similar discussion that shows how payments work in Squidoo: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2588928.aspx Squidoo is also a website, so your articles need to be effectively SEO'd. But don't jump into creating huge backlinks, create back links in a natural way.. submit to bookmarking sites, ask your followers to do the same and you might want to post a link in your blog as well. Just rinse and repeat. And don't give up!
