I have been a member of Squidoo site for a year now and I must admit that I find it really hard to start on this site. That is why I decided to leave it for sometime and look for other sites to work with. But now, after several months I decided to visit the site again to know how things are being done and I am happy to say that at least this time, I can already understand things better. I am now decided to continue with my activities with the site and hopefully I would be able to successfully applied the learning that I gained from other online activities that I had including my interaction here in myLot. I am more confident that I can be able do it this time. Any additional information or tips and tricks will be much appreciated. Have a great day everyone!

I have joined squidoo just this year. Only made a few articles. I don't have much time to write new articles because I am sharing my laptop with my family. Plus I have classes to attend. I am not expecting to earn there, but I am mostly using the site to improve my skills on writing and understanding how the site works. I think I understand a little about it, but not enough to actually earn loads. It takes years or great luck to earn a good income from squidoo. It is fun though because you can earn a lot from that site and share things about yourself and your interests.

Well, what is your squidoo name? At first it was very puzzling to use squidoo. It's also time consuming just writing one article. The good thing is we can always update and edit it whenever needed.

Hi Aja! I m using the same name I am using here in mylot. I don't know if I could still have time for another activity as of this time. I am very busy and I cannot devote time to all my online sites. Thank you for sharing!

Hi Aja! It's a good thing that you are very positive about the site. I also read many great shares about it that is I am also trying my best to learn more about it. I am also busy with my job that is why I was not able to make it. Thank you for sharing!

I signed up for a Squidoo account a while back too. I never created anything though --what are they, 'lenses', I think? I write for other sites -several, in fact. Squidoo just seemed weird to me, I guess. Anyway, good luck with that. Hopefully it works out good for you.

@ cvodrey! Yes, I also find squidoo very complicated that is why I did not concentrate on that site before when I first found it. I just thought that this site is for experts so I decided to leave it first and try to find other sites available. But I also heard very good things about the site so when I had this time, I decided to check back again and it seems that I can understand it a little. So I am thinking of starting with the site again. Thank you for sharing!

That's great Sharon that you are trying to go back to the site and become active there. But building some sizable stuff there will certainly take time and then you can think of getting paid. But then it means a lot of time investment, isn't it? If I were in your place, I would have continued with those sites that I am presently active on. I am also a member of squidoo, but never went back there. I enjoy the current sites where I am sure, I will get paid for the efforts.

Hi abhi! I still consider myself as newbie on this kind of stuff you know. I am merely doing things on a trial and error method. I have been trying to search everything online on my own. How I wish I have somebody to guide me but of course I could not rely on anybody whom I know personally because even them, do not know this kind of stuff that I am presently engaging with. So friends like you are my only source of information and also my inspiration. So I would take into consideration whatever I learn from you guys. Thank you for sharing!

Well Sharon, as you know this is a place where friends extend a helping hand whenever you call them. That is what I have done here whenever I am in a fix. The discussion that I started was also for asking help and suggestions as you do. Anyways, we should all consider ourselves in the learning phase as things keep on changing. And it was just my own thought which I said that I would not really go to a new site and start earning from there. Yes, they say, don't keep all your eggs in one basket - do not contribute to only one site. Otherwise, we can get an EC like experience But we can learn that as a practical experience as well. On the other hand, if we write our articles on various sites, we know that not all is lost even if one site crashes. So, I told you continue on the same site(s) if you are active. I contribute to about 4-5 sites, but am thinking of cutting down on them now.

Well, browsing the various pages of the web, I have not gone unnoticed the name Squidoo. But no I wanted to learn more about what this site and consequently how it works. Maybe if I remember correctly when I read a review here on Mylot, inherent to the site Squidoo. If you feel comfortable, I think it is wise that you work for that site. Sometimes many sites are difficult to understand (for me Mylot was the same when I joined now more than three years ago.), Yet in the end, after a bit of experience, you can always manage.

Hi alberello! Yes, I also remember when I first came to myLot. Things seems so hard for me but the way I see it, squidoo is far more complicated than myLot. But as you said, we can be familiarized with the site as time pass. Thank you for sharing!

Hello Aries! You have the skills that are required to write good articles.So it seems you will be able to earn from that site also.Although concentrating on one site is a good idea to earn but members should also explore what they could do simultaneously.

Hi keynote Yes there are really several sites where we can earn from. That is why I am trying to explore some sites and yes, we can do things simultaneously. Thank you for the great advice you have in here. Have a great day!

Hi teotimo! Having a very limited time because of having a full time employment is one of the things that I am taking into consideration this time. That is why even if I would love to, I cannot give my full attention with my online activities. So whenever I have some spare time, I would really check back on those sites which I signed up before and was not able to concentrate with. One of those is squidoo. Thank you for the advice. Have a great day!
