I was wondering if people could actually make a living using squidoo, I know people have made like 300+ montly but has anyone acquired like 2-3k monthly just from squidoo and bum / affiliate marketing?
With affiliate marketing, definitely! Personally i think with aff marketing the real money is in the list. But yes you can def. make a living doing it. People make a living doing adsense for sakes... But making that much bumming off of one site, squidoo idk about that.
It would be terribly hard to make a living off of one squido page. But if you create 1-3 quality squido pages weekly and maintain those as well as write 5-6 articles weekly for bum marketing to those pages plus use affiliate blah blah blah you will be able to make a living off of it. It is all about knowing what niche to promote and becoming an expert at it.
I would think you'd have to have a lot of squidoo lenses to make a living, but, hey, people say they do it. Find someone who is successful and learn from them.
I personally wouldn't waste my time trying to build up that much revenue through Squidoo. All your efforts would be putting just as much money in squidoo's pockets. Then what happens when Google decides that squidoo has become too spammy and they give all lenses a search engine ranking penalty? You move onto the next fad website and start again? No thanks. I would rather put that effort into my own sites and get more of the profit. Instead I use squidoo pages to promote my own sites.
Take a look at this post from Captain Squid http://www.captainsquid.com/squidoo-earnings-break-3000-a-month
I don't think people put much stock in E-books. ^ Just do what I said and you will make money at it. But I mean you can make a living at it but it won't make you "rich".
It's possible if you create quite a lot of high quality Squidoo lenses in profitable niche that people like it and high rank in SE. Mix with article marketing to get backlink to your Squidoo lens. Try getting a lot of natural/gradual back link to your all Squidoo links.
i have seen people making big bucks! but it aint easy! neither it is impossible! all you need is a little effort, long hrs of quality work! if u can pull off a good lens and keep it on top, get popular..you can make some good bucks! i know Think Big is making good
