My Open Book

One of the most powerful tools for niche marketing content creators and article writers has been, and will continue to be, Squidoo. It’s a combination of a web 2.0 site, social network and a loose article site. It has many different features and is very important to know how to properly use and promote your Squidoo pages to get the best posssible effect.

Here are some basics. Squidoo pages are called lenses, main sections of each page can be added through modules and there are many different types of modules that you can add. Squidoo lenses rank extremely well in the search engines and some claim that this is their best feature.

First, let us mention some things that are a big no-no on Squidoo. There is zero tolerance for spam. Certain topics are off limits and you would waste your time building a lens, because it won’t be published and featured on Squidoo.

Also, lenses that are of poor quality for a long time may end up being deleted so watch out and keep the quality high.

You need to give out real, quality content that is of use and interest to readers. Quality is the best policy, as people would say. Spammy lenses with trashy content are not tolerated on Squidoo. If you plan on making a real solid income from Squidoo, you need to make sure that your articles and content are engaging and helpful.

One of the best tips that I can give you about Squidoo is to use a lot of videos. Videos are easier to absorb and are more interactive. I have found on my own lenses that video keeps the visitors longer and makes more money.

Be sure to ping, tweet and bookmark each lens for maximum effect. The influx of visitors will boost your Squidoo ranking and help you get more comments and interaction from other members.

Follow the rules, play nice with others and you should do just fine with Squidoo. It really is a treasure for those who know how to use it.

Joshua Bardhashian uses Squidoo to make money online and is very successful at it. Watch his zombie comics and paintball hopper sites to see how he creates content.
