Why I Suggest Squidoo
I’m not just suggesting Squidoo.com for your free website. I’m doing that because a lot of top money makers in this business use Squidoo to test markets and affiliate programs. Here is why I personally like it: “
1. I can go to Squidoo and look at what the writers are publishing. I can see what products they are promoting. I can see how popular there website called a “lens” is.
2. I can add Amazon products at will. Some say, well you only get half the commission because Squidoo takes half of it. The fact of the matter is that Amzon gives Squidoo double commissions (maybe more) and so your half is equal to a full Amazon commission. (There other factors here, Ebay, etc., which I am going to completely ignore because I’m the writer here.)
3. This I really like. If I put up an affiliate program that stinks of “scam,” Squidoo will not let me publish it. They tell me to go back and check what I wrote. They have a review process if you disagree with them. I’ve tried that. Nothing ever happened. I say, dump the program.
4. Squidoo will tell you that you are in a market that is not really suitable for beginners. Promoting get-rich-schemes or anything that resembles them in overcrowded scam-filled markets is out. Always read the guidelines before you start your first site as that will save you and Squidoo a lot of misery.
5. You can buy or sell Squidoo lenses. The other day I started a lens for my granddaughters. Now that she has signed up at squidoo, I can easily transfer it to her. Some people I know write and sell lens as their money making scheme or another income stream.
6. Folks say some of the nicest things about my lenses. For some reason I prefer people to money
I had many Squidoo lenses at one time. One day in one of my funny moods, I decided to dump them all, which I did. What I should have done was sold them or given them away to someone who would have fun with them. Later, I regretted this so I went back an wrote a bunch more.
Some are just sitting there doing nothing, others have a little sparkle
Nest: Squidoo Lenses are Websites Too!
