    I have made money from squidoo but not huge amounts although i have a few lenses but some people do quite well out of them it is like anything else if you work hard enough the rewards will come.

    The squidoo forum is a good place to get some detailed lens advice.

    well you wont make much money from royalties and all! but if you can manage to get massive traffic then squidoo will pay you good :) besides, provide a good content and legit product! if you can promote those then you can make some money!

    Yes, squidoo will pay your for your lenses, depending on how well they rank. But remember, you'll get paid for August activity in the beginning of October. So if you just started, it will take a bit before you get your first payment.

    I've never made much from Amazon/ebay royalties. But my own affiliate link on my lens does quite well. ;)

    I make quite a bit of money with Squidoo, some of my top lenses are giving me a few hundred dollars a month from affiliate sales. And yes, clickbank + Squidoo = massive profits when used correctly.

    I haven't made any money from my Squidoo lenses. Not really sure what all of the hype is about. In fact, I don't see what the hype is about with most of the social stuff. It doesn't really seem to affect my sites one way or the other but I sure did spend a ton of time learning how they all work. Wish I could have been paid for my time! Then at least I could have said I made money with it!

    The only time that the links are nofollow is when a new lens is in WIP status. After that they are dofollow.

    I read that in some other thread earlier today.

    No. Squidoo has a "do follow" attribute. It is one good way create links to your site. I have also some lenses on squidoo. They don't earn that much but at least they have some $$ paid to my Paypal account.
