Be a Squidoo Lensmaster
Let us make this short and simple. I’ll be writing more about this revenue channel anyway in the coming roadmaps and blueprints. This program is actually one of the best income revenue streams I have.
I was aware of it the day it was launched but never even bothered about it because it required at that time a Paypal account. Paypal wasn’t available to the Philippines then. It turned out to be the biggest online mistake I ever committed. But better late than never as they always say…
I joined Squidoo about a year ago and it has augmented my meager income considerably. So don’t repeat my mistake. Join Squidoo Now.
Let me explain briefly how you can earn with Squidoo:
My very own Squidoo Head
Squidoo is community that offers a free publication platform to anybody. Yep! Just like a blog. They call each post or article a Lens. The writers are called Lensmasters. Check this url out. LENSMASTER OF THE DAY
Squidoo also has partnerships with internet businesses like eBay, Amazon, CafePress, Zazzle, Google Adense… When writing a lens you can embed products from these companies. In short you advertise them for Squidoo.
Example: You have a lens. You advertised a book from Amazon in your lens. Somebody buys the book through your lens for say an amount of $50.00. Now let us say that Amazon pays Squidoo $40.00 for selling the book… Squidoo in turn pays you $20.00. Squidoo splits the profits with its lensmasters 50/50. Now that’s one of the income streams via Squidoo.
Squidoo also has Google Adsense which are automatically inserted into your lens. This is were Squidoo gets its community revenue. All lenses are ranked according to popularity. The more popular your lens is… implies that it brings Squidoo more traffic and more income.
Lens popularity is categorized into Tiers.
Tier 1 is for lenses with an overall lensrank of 1 up to 2,000.
Tier 2 is for lenses with an overall LR of 2,001 up to and including 10,000.
Tier 3 is for lenses with a LR of 10,001 up to 85,000.
Tier 4 …some low rating lenses have gotten a 1 cent payout
Payout is per lens. See the payout

$10.61
$2.09
$0.08
This means that if you have 5 lenses in Tier 1, Squidoo is going to pay you $10.61 x 5 dollars. Not bad. Not bad at all.
So there are two options in making it big with Squidoo. One is to write super Quality content so that your lens stays in upper Tier. Or through Quantity.. lots and lots of lenses… that covers all Tiers.
If you have 2000 lenses… you have $160.00 every month provided that you manage to get them all into the 3rd Tier. I had a month were I had 12 lenses on Tier 1 and all the others in Tier 2. 
Boy was I happy.
Summing it all up you earn through Squidoo through its community revenue sharing and its 50/50 affiliate (partner businesses) commissions. Don’t worry we will all cover this up in the future road maps. I will be guiding you in the most effective techniques in Lens Crafting and what business modules to use in Squidoo.
The important thing now is to join Squidoo. If you are still not a member of Squidoo, I suggest you JOIN NOW!!!
Here's a glimpse of the payments I received from Squidoo a few months back.
