Welcome To SquidooFreak.com

Squidoo.com is a blog, social network and website builder - all in one place! That in itself makes the site unique - but on top of this you can earn a full time income by investing a bit of your time building so called Squidoo lenses. Look over my shoulders as I work myself towards this goal - before the end of 2010!

Squidoo Payout For June 2010

Posted By SquidooFreak on August 23, 2010

Yet again a Squidoo payment has been and gone – and I’ve been remarkably quiet about it – maybe because it wasn’t much to write about.

I have promised to keep my readers up to date with my Squidoo earnings, and I stick to this promise. Even when it almost gets embarrasing.

My payout for June 2010 was: $4.64

I believe I did anticipate this in my previous update, because of a sharp decline in amazon affiliate purchses from my lenses, which continued into the month of july as well, but I’ve seen the trend turning the other way over the past few weeks, so maybe something positive is happening.

I have not done anything on Squidoo now for a couple of months, so the lack in income shouldn’t come as a surprise. I’m going to continue doing what I do, although my high hopes for this year has somehow been dashed a bit.

Onwards and upwards…….

Squidoo Payout For May 2010

Posted By SquidooFreak on July 20, 2010

Another Squidoo payout has been and gone – this time for May 2010. Remember that Squidoo pays out on a 2 month delay – due to tham having the same delay from their affiliate partners.

The payout for May 2010 was: $17.57

As I expected in my last payout update, the amount received was less than what I’ve been used to in recent month, because my lenses had failed to perform as well as they used to in terms of Amazon sales.

This trend is set to continue for the payout next month. Guess people are just not buying much online at the moment, but I’m quite happy to keep going like this for the time being, and slowly build on my little lens empire.

Limited Offer On Info Product Killer

Posted By SquidooFreak on July 15, 2010

If you have visited SquidooFreak.com before you’ll know that I’m very much an advocate for the Info Product Killer guide by Craig Kaye. It is probably one of the best SEO teaching progammes online, where you’ll learn how to build and optimise websites so that they will pull in visitors who are in the final stages of researching a product before buying it online.

Why is this important? Well – a visitor with their credit card out – ready to buy, is infinitely more valuable to you than a tyrekicker who are “just having a look around” – because the way an affiliate makes money online is on commission of  SALES!

For a very limited time, the price of the Info Product Killer Guide and a lifetime membership of course section that gets updated with new tips and tricks on a regular basis is an astonishing low $37.00. The price will gradually go back up the $147.00 that everyone else have paid for the same thing – and before long – the course will be closed for new entrants forever.

At that low price – it’s a no-brainer! If you want success online – and a genuine guy who has been there and done it himself helping you – you should be off buying the Info Product Killer Guide right now, before it’s too late!

I Promised You A Free Squidoo Guide – Here It Is!

Posted By SquidooFreak on June 30, 2010

In my last post I promised you a Free Squidoo Guide available for download here from SquidooFreak.com. Today I’m delivering on that promise!

The guide is a slightly updated version of the guide handed out to everyone taking part in Tiffany Dow’s 52-week Squidoo Lens Building Challenge, and teaches how to build lenses featuring tangible products from Amazon.com.

I plan to completely re-write/update the guide and release it in the autumn of 2010 – but since that will take a lot of work on my part – that version will not be free.

Grab your copy HERE – and get started……

New Lens: White Mountain Ice Cream Freezers

Posted By SquidooFreak on June 26, 2010

Today I’m back to announce another new lens – White Mountain Ice Cream Freezers – which is a baby lens to the lens about ice cream makers that I published a few weeks ago.

When I call it a “baby lens” – it means that it’s a spin-off of the so called “mother lens” – further showcasing a product or product group featured on the mother lens. This way you can go further into details about the product, and target more specific keywords on the search engines, helping you to pull in more targeted visitors.

The lenses are interlinked – using links in the content – the featured lenses module – the discovery tool and the lens roll feature inside Squidoo, so they can generate traffic between each other and achieve higher rankings in the search engines.

This is all part of what you’ll learn more about if you invest in the featured Info Product Killer manual here on SquidooFreak.com.

I plan on making another couple of baby-lenses like this one, all as a case study for a new guide I’m in the process of writing, based on Tiffany Dow’s 52 Week Squidoo Challenge that I’ve been taking part in on-and-off this year as my time allows. An early free version of the guide will be published in the next week or so – with the finished guide due for release some time this autumn.

Go and have a look at my new lens here: http://www.squidoo.com/white-mountain-ice-cream-freezers.

Squidoo Payout For April 2010

Posted By SquidooFreak on June 12, 2010

The payout from Squidoo for April 2010 has taken place, and it seems like I’m on a steady course with respect to the amount I’m being paid, although I’m quite sure the amount is going to take a dip next month.

Anyway – my Squidoo income for April 2010 was $22.96 - for a portfolio of 29 active lenses.

The reason why I’m expecting a dip in earnings next month is that I’ve noticed a fall in Amazon earnings, which is making up the most of my earnings, but also one of my lenses that have performed particularly well over the past 3-4 months has fallen out of favour with Google this past month. Less visitors means less income – simple as that – but things will improve as my portfolio grows.

Although growing my portfolio is one thing I’m going to focus on in the month ahead – I’m also in the process of writing a manual that will show you how you can start making money on Squidoo and enjoy some Squidoo cash.

New Lens: Cuisinart Ice Cream Makers

Posted By SquidooFreak on June 7, 2010

I’ve had a productive 24 hours – and managed to publish a new lens about Cuisinart Ice Cream Makers.

The new lens is a so called “Baby Lens” – as opposed to the lens I finished yesterday – because it’s more focused on one product line, in this case the ice cream makers from Cuisinart.

Next step is now to go on and build similar baby lenses for other brands of ice cream makers – link them all together so they can work as a traffic funnel for each other – one of the tactics taught in Craig Kaye’s Info Product Killer e-book.

Cuisinart is the best selling make in ice cream makers – so go and have a look and see which one is for you: http://www.squidoo.com/cuisinarticecreammakers.

New Lens: The Best Ice Cream Makers – Where To Get A good Deal

Posted By SquidooFreak on June 6, 2010

I promised a couple of days ago to come back and announce a new lens before the next payout from Squidoo was due – and true to my word I’ve made a lens about the Best Ice Cream Makers.

With summer being just around the corner I chose to do a lens on something that has year round relevance – but is more sought after in the summer months – since this is when most people would enjoy a hearty portion of home made ice cream.

This lens is intended to be a so called “Mother Lens” – along the lines of what is taught in the Info Product Killer guide by Craig Kaye – which I highly recommend for anyone who wants to make good profits from building mini websites and/or Squidoo Lenses.

If you feel like a healthy serving of home made ice cream – and want to be able to make it with greater ease – have a look at my latest lens:  http://www.squidoo.com/the-best-ice-cream-makers

Squidoo Payout For March 2010

Posted By SquidooFreak on June 4, 2010

They say late is better than never – so here I am with an update of last months payouts received from Squidoo – while I’m close to also be able to reveal this months Squidoo income.

The reason for this is that life has been very busy for me lately, which you would expect for a gardener in springtime, so I haven’t had much time for making updates, let alon building Squidoo lenses.

My Squidoo payout for March 2010 was $27.70 – again a decent payout for my 30 lenses – and on top of this you have to put my affiliate income from direct links within the lenses.

I hope to announce my next new lens within the next couple of days – before Squidoo manages to send the next batch of payouts – as it is already half way done.

Squidoo Payout For February 2010

Posted By SquidooFreak on April 14, 2010

It’s been payday again at Squidoo – this time for the moth of February 2010 – as Squidoo is paying out 6-8 weeks in hand. This has to do with them awaiting affiliate payments from their partners.

Again – for the amount of effort I’m currently putting in – and for the amount of lenses in my portfolio I have every reason to be pleased enough with my payout.

This time round I received $18.46 for my 29 active lenses, and some of those are not even paying out due to their lens rank being too low. I’m fine with knowing that around $20 will find their way into my paypal account every month for not really doing much.

In saying that, however, I’m still wanting to have a portfolio of at least 100 lenses at the end of october. I’m going for quality rather than quantity though.
