Do you Squidoo?
One of the newer and more exciting websites on the worldwide net is known as Squidoo.
Squidoo is the world’s most popular site for people who want to build a page about their passions. Highlight books, blogs, vids, online shops, or just spread the word about stuff you love.
We have been following Squidoo for some time and we’re impressed with the way it can very successfully work with eBay. As a result we are developing a Squidoo site about our new passion… Ephemera.
The site is nowhere near complete or finished, but we thoughts we’d share it with you in its development.
You can find the Squidoo Ephemera page here.
As time progresses we will be adding to this page, increasing the information about this hobby and trying to bring more and more interest into the excitement we feel about the Ephemera hobby
Have a read, and if you too are interested in Ephemera, or wanting to start a new hobby in this area, be sure to drop us a line.

Hi Tom,
Yes, I love Squidoo too! If you’re interested, I created a free eBook on How To Squidoo.
It can be downloaded at http://www.clovercitysells.com/squidoo.htm
Thanks for the great blog posts ~ look forward to reading more soon.

Squidoo is wonderful! You’ll love it, and you’ll be so glad you joined.
In April I made 13 lenses, and than didn’t build any more until August, when I added 62 more (about half are still draft/WinP, I’m not finished writing the content for all of them yet). Squidu forum says that the pay-outs are for two-months past, so the one I just got now was for July, not August. So I guess after reading the Squidu forum, it means that the $10.28 was for the 13 lenses I made in April only? Cause all of my other lenses were started after August 10th. If I’m reading their comments right that means my October payday should be about $70+-, right? Cool.
Well, if my unfinished lenses are already bringing in money, than they well do better once they are finished. I hope I have them all completed soon. Once they are finished they should actually start making more money right? (I hope).
I’m hopeing that in the long run I’ll be making over $100 per month; I’ve heard that several people are doing that already. Are any of you guys reading this also on Squidoo? I’ve also heard that the Google slap will be affecting the high-payout folks this month. Did it? Did anyone make over $100 this month?
Well, here’s the link to my Squidoo Profile, if any of you haven’t checked it out yet, feel free to do so: http://www.squidoo.com/ekography
You don’t get paid immediatly, but once you start geting money, you get paid every month. Squidoo’s Payout levels change every month, for the month of July the payout per lens was:
$4.12 (top 100 lenses)
$0.73 (top 1000 lenses)
$0.04 (top 10,000 lenses)
and if your lens isn’t in the top 10,000 than you don’t get anything for it that month at all!
However those figures do not include affiliate commisions. If you add MoneyMaker modules you make more money, providing that people buy the items you recomend.
I use eBay, Amazon, and CafePress on all of my lenses.
The payout for those is:
eBay 50% of what the seller earned.
Amazon 4% - 7% of the sale price.
CafePress for some reason isn’t listed yet?
You also get $5 when you recommend others, after they join and after they earn thier first $15.
Squidoo says that the average payout for their lensebuilders is $35 per month. Most stay around the $10 range while a few hit $150 per month… and a handful are now making $400 - $500 per month.
As Squidoo gains more popularity these figures are expected to rise.
Well, there you have it…. how I make money on Squidoo. So, while my $10.28 is starting out small, it is something, and if all goes well, it’ll soon be in the triple digits.
Good luck to you with your Squidooing! And don’t forget to post links to your lenses on your blog so we can check them out! I love searching for new lenses to read.
