Make Money On Squidoo

Make Money — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 05:20:02 GMT

Squidoo is a community website that allows users to create pages (called lenses) for subjects of interest. Squidoo is in the top 500 most visited sites in the world, and in the top 300 most viewed in the United States. Squidoo grew 91% in 2008, and had 900,000 handbuilt lenses as of February 2009.

According to Seth Godin, creator of Squidoo, "Everyone's an Expert (about something). How do you get more people to visit your site? or buy your product? or donate to your charity online? How do you get your ideas to spread? If you work on the web, this is one of the biggest questions you wrestle with. It has led to SEO and to AdWords, to banners and to online copywriting, to blogs and to tags..." And now Squidoo.

What Are The Benefits of Squidoo?

1. Squidoo lenses get indexed very quickly. It is not uncommon to make a lense and find it in Google search returns in 48 hours. New websites have been known to wait MONTHS to feel some Google love!

2. Google LOVES Squidoo. Google places a lot of value in the pages here on Squidoo. Most lenses will climb to the top of the results for their keywords (given that the lens is made properly).

3. Squidoo shares revenue from advertisements with it's lensmasters. (Yes, you can make money from your Squidoo lenses)

4. Uh... It's FREE. Do I have to explain why a free and powerful tool is a benefit? Didn't think so.

The Squidoo lenses are a great way to get traffic and recognition as a niche expert. You can create a Squidoo lens about the products or your business and then market it on Squidoo. This way, Squidoo can be your steady traffic source for your website.

Squidoo marketing is not very difficult. The only major problem is the common mistakes which are repeated over and over again by the beginners. You should avoid them and there is no need to worry about the traffic then. You will surely get a lot of traffic from Squidoo.

Here are some of the classical mistakes which you should avoid at all costs.

Most of the people are unaware of the importance of the tags at the beginning. They do not use them properly and then at a later stage they realize that they have missed out on a golden opportunity. If your profile tags are proper, you would surely get more attention from the other Squidoo users as well as from the search engines. Use the proper spellings while tagging and make sure that you are putting the relevant tags. Also make sure that your tags do match with your keywords so that you can attract the interested people to your Squidoo lens.

You should use your keywords everywhere on Squidoo. Make sure that you have a good keyword density as well in your articles and the text based content. You should use your keywords in other places on the Squidoo lens as well. These may include polls etc. Also make sure that you are using the keywords in the titles. If you are not using the keywords in the titles and the URL, you are missing a great deal.

Another major mistake that the beginners make is to ignore the opportunities which come your way in the form of putting hyperlinks on the Squidoo lens. The people think that putting the banner ads at the bottom of the lens is sufficient and they do not realize that they do have a lot of other places as well where they can put their links. If you are new to Squidoo, make sure you have not missed any such place and you your hyperlinks at all the possible places.

Another mistake which is commonly made by all the new comers is to only emphasis on the Squidoo lens and forget the community of Squidoo. You should never do that. The community will help you to get more clicks and more visits. In fact they are the people whom you are trying to attract to your Squidoo lens. You should communicate with the community by joining the groups. The groups will help you to talk to the people and market your lens and the business there.

Make Money On Internet Marketing In 2010 - Facebook is the Key

Make Money — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 19:39:06 GMT

I am more than 100% convinced that 2010 will be the year of Social Networking Marketing and facebook will lead the pack. The latest social network marketshare for November 2009 show that facebook is already having more than 46% marketshare among the US bound SocNet traffic. Since majority of the Internet marketing at the moment focus around the North America, this is a big number. Exactly an year ago, facebook’s marketshare was less than 20% and MySpace was a biggie then. In a years’ time the scene has totally changed. Facebook just beat its competition by providing a simpler unified user interface for all those features that others had in bits and pieces. They managed to do all these in a short timespan and hence ate into others’ marketshare. In other words what MyBlogLog, Twitter, Picasa etc could do separately now can be done with facebook. The relevance of blog directories and blog search engines are reducing now as facebook streams in that information as well.

As people are spending more and more time online (and that too mainly on Social Network) the purchasing decisions in the future will be revolving around what they see and hear on Social Network and friends’ circle. In short, more than search engines, review sites and forums, Social Network will soon become the main base for online sales success.

PPC Advertising can deliver ads over geographies and pre-defined channels. But what a Social Network biggie like facebook can offer is to place the ads not only based on geography but based on other important parameters like their sex, individual tastes, types of friends and community they belong to, what they are talking about and looking for etc. because they have all this information in the profile data of the member. This simply means that real context aware ads will soon be a reality in the case of facebook advertising.

Facebook fan pages will soon do wonders by driving convertible traffic to your online content. If you do not have a facebook fan page yet, you might want to build one now because these will totally replace blog directories soon.

Excellent freelance site.

Make Money On Social Networks In China

Make Money — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 19:44:00 GMT

China's Alibaba Group has started mixing social-networking functions into its leading e-commerce platforms, a move it hopes will convince users to spend more time and money on Alibaba Web sites. Alibaba is crafting social-networking platforms specifically to complement two of its core operations. The beta version of a Web site with Facebook-style applications and a Twitter-style feed is being grafted onto Taobao.com

E-commerce, already huge, is ascending rapidly in China. Online shopping transactions were worth 46.7 billion yuan (US$6.8 billion) in China in the first quarter, nearly twice as much as a year earlier, according to iResearch, a Chinese Internet consultancy. Over three-quarters of that transaction value occurred among consumers on Taobao, according to the iResearch statistics.

Taobao's dominance gives its social-networking platform a sizable user base to draw on. All Taobao users can also access the platform, which has some user activity but that Taobao says it has not begun promoting yet. Taobao reported 120 million registered users at the end of the first quarter, more than one-third of China's total number of people online. Nearly two-thirds of China's Internet users are under 30 years old, according to the country's domain registry agency. Future additions to Taobao's social-networking platform could include ads in applications and links to suggested items in merchant stores, said Mi of Taobao. The site could also aim to attract new users from outside Taobao by offering unrelated services, such as online reservations for movie tickets or karaoke sessions, Mi said. Those users might then migrate to Taobao itself, he said.

Ning - Allowing Anyone To Create Their Own Social Network

Make Money — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 17:39:39 GMT

Ning offers a counterpoint to the uniformity of Facebook, allowing anyone to create their own social network customized to their particular interest or social group. Earlier this year, Ning passed one million social networks created (it is now up to 1.3 million), but the key is how many of those are active and how many people they attract. In the U.S., unique visitors actually declined 10 percent from May, 2009 to June, 2009, according to comScore. Ning had 5.1 million visitors in the U.S. in June (its worldwide audience is about three times as large).

The company attributes the decline to “some downtime in June as we expand and optimize our infrastructure to support the growth that we are expecting in the next 12 months.” Ning says it is adding 4,000 new Ning Networks every day and one million registered users every 15 days.

Make Money On Social Networks

Make Money — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 14:45:28 GMT

The research report provides a projection of 2009 ad revenue in two areas: overall advertising spending and local advertising spending. The document looks at 101 different social networks, from Facebook to financial management site Wasabi. Here are the numbers that struck us most:

    1. MySpace leads in total ad revenue with a little over $500 million in revenue. 26% of its revenue, or $133 million, are from local advertisers.

    2. According to the report, both hi5 and Flickr earn more in total revenue than Facebook, with $430 million and $336 million respectively.

    3. Facebook may “only” make $310 million this year, but a full $229 million of that will be from local advertisers, or 74% of total revenue. That’s quite striking at first, but when you really think about it, a lot of the ads on Facebook are indeed for local venues, and Facebook makes it easy to target geographically.

    4. An oddity: the report claims that Twitter, with its 25 million users, will generate $288 million in ad revenue. The problem with this number, of course, is that Twitter has almost no advertising, and we are very curious as to how Borrell came up with this number (perhaps this is a projection of potential revenue, if Twitter were fully monetized? We’ll look into it).

The big lesson to take from these numbers is that local advertising is alive and kicking, especially on Facebook. With such detailed information available on its members, it’s no surprise that small businesses are trying to bring locals through their doors.

If you want to take a look at the full report, we’ve embedded it below for your review:

comScore has a report on the state of social networking in the UK, showing that social networking is a mainstream activity among all age groups, and the second online activity when it comes to time spent, behind instant messaging. Simply put: everyone is doing it, and they’re doing it often.

According to the study, 80% of users among all age groups visited a social networking site in May 2009, at least once, spending an average time of 4.6 hours there. Young users are interested in social networking the most, with 89% of those 25 to 34 years visiting social networking sites, and older groups aren’t falling behind that much, as 67% of those aged 55 or more visited a social networking site in May, spending an average of 3.7 hours there. See the full stats in the table below:

This is in line with the recent study which showed that Facebook users are, on average, getting older, as silver surfers are embracing the site at an increasing rate.

comScore’s study also lists the top social networking sites in the UK, showing huge growth for Facebook, which now sits on top of the list, having increased by 57% since May 2008. With nearly 24 million monthly unique visitors, it dwarfs the competition: according to comScore’s numbers, it’s approximately as big as Bebo (which has been steadily losing its audience, also in line with our recent analysis based on numbers from US-oriented Compete), MySpace, Windows Live and Twitter (which has gone from being a complete nobody to the fifth place in a year) put together.
