Be Careful Whom You Trust

I just finished reading some posts over at NickyCakes.com. That guy is funny, not to mention he tells it like it is…no BS. I won’t go into details about whom he was talking, but I just read a post that really opened my eyes. A guy/blog that I really thought ‘had the goods’, is nothing more than a little fish in a huge pond. Not to mention, according to what I read, a little less than honest.

I’ve mentioned here in the past that, as of this post anyway, I’m still new in the affilate marketing industry. I don’t claim to be some super affiliate or an expert in any field. If I mention a compamy, product, ebook or anything else, it’s because I’ve either bought and/or used it, or I know for a fact that it’s not a scam.

If you look on the home page of my site, presently I have neverblueAds and PepperJam NETWORK affiliate network banners. I’ve been signed up with both for a while, and although you probably don’t need me to tell you, they’re both top-notch companies in the business. I know I can put those banners there and there’s no chance of someone emailing me one day saying ‘those jerks ripped me off.’

I also have a TigerDirect banner there. Last year I probably spent around $2,500 (at least) at TigerDirect, mostly in parts building (2) new PCs, (2) LCH displays, (2) MP3 players, software…man, that might even be higher. :D I know, for a fact that their prices, service and everything else is the best. Believe me, I wouldn’t part with that much money without doing my homework.

I mention Blue Host and HostGator in my blogroll, but you what ? I’ve got accounts with both of them. I

Buying eBooks

I just got hit with another ebook offer. I believe if I downloaded or bought every ebook I saw, I’d probably and a couple of hard drives full by now.

Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with ebooks, quite the contrary, but I do somewhat get tired of having (3) dozen of them shoved in my face everyday.

Squidoo – Flip those FREE Lenses and Make Serious Money!!

Been wondering how to make some money easily online without having to spend a small fortune on ‘courses’ ,’systems’ and guru ‘subscriptions’ ?

Then read on…

I recently posted about Squidoo. I’ve been actively investigating everything I can about all things Squidoo in the last week or so.

I can’t believe I somewhat overlooked the major possibilities that Squidoo has to offer. I’ve also seen some of the money that many people have been able to generate. I only wish I would have went into it full force several months back when I first took a look at Squidoo, but at least I have been lately.

The point of this post is, besides all of the obvious money making techniques available with Squidoo, one thing that I hadn’t thought of is ‘lens-flipping’. You can probably guess by the name that ‘lens-flipping’ is simply creating a lens (free Squidoo page), and then selling it off.

This is completely okay with Squidoo, there’s nothing underhanded or deceitful, and because of the fact that it’s so easy to create lenses, and there’s no limit to the amount of lenses that you can set up, the money making potential is limitless.

As I mentioned before in my other post, and here, I didn’t start actively using Squidoo until just recently, therefore I’ve only set up (2) lenses at this point, but that was just while I was doing other things, putting only a very small amount of time into it. I can only imagine how many lenses a person could do per day if they were to get into it seriously.

I ran across lenses for sale via the Squidoo site. One of the owners of the site that builds custom lenses for sale, Tiffany Dow, has a great resource available on her techniques for generating money by flipping lenses.

I won’t drag this out any longer, go take a look at her fantastic information. It’s available here. If you’ve got a little extra time on your hands, there’s a lot of money to be made using Squidoo. This is but just one…a very good one though it is.

Remember, if you haven’t looked at Squidoo.

  • It’s TOTALLY FREE
  • It’s VERY EASYNo HTML – Just a building block design
  • There are many ways to monetize using Squidoo
  • Once you get started, you’ll get the snowball traffic effect on your lenses should you decide to keep them for other monetization options
  • You start earning money by sharing the Squidoo revenue just by creating lenses and having them grow
  • There’s people with hundreds of lenses making thousands of dollars per month – You can too!!

So after you check out the ‘Flip that Lens‘ information, head on over to Squidoo and get busy building your many profitable lenses. You’ll already have a resource for selling them for you too!!

P.S. Have a look at what Tiffany and her partner are getting for custom built lenses at Build My Lens!! If you’re somewhat creative and have a little time, you too can generate some serious cash by buiilding FREE Squidoo lenses. I’m off to building from the (2) I presently have.
