Register Squido here, fill your preferences, then you can hit a button to start building your first lens, just follow steps:

2. What do you want to do with your lens? Choose: "I want to get the word out about ..". (easiest option)
3. Choose lens title & URL (be as descriptive as possible again & use relevant keywords, especially URL, because you can't change it later), choose your category & rating (all public, adult ..).
4. Choose your keywords - Choose them carefully to make sure people find about the topic you discuss in your lens when they search Squidoo

After Fill All the Steps, Then click the "Done!" button.

When your lens is created it's not yet published, you need to customize it first:

At the start there are many modules, I will talk about some of them, but you can add any number you wish (or delete the ones you don't need):

1. Title module: It's the first & has already the title you chose when you created the lens (but you can change it).
2. Introduction module: As the lens is supposed to promote your blog, click on "edit" button & add a description or introduction to your blog + you can add a picture.
3. RSS module: this module will make your lens auto-updated whenever you update your blog! (details below)
4. Links module: You can add some links of you sites (& get traffic + backlinks) or the sites you like.
5. Guestbook module: This one will allow visitors to leave comments.

How to setup RSS module?
1. Click on "Edit"
2. Add a title & if you wish subtitle & description
3. Add your blog RSS link, for blogger, the link is http://your-blog.blogspot.com/rss.xml
4. How many headlines would you like to show? Choose "15"
5. Would you like to include an excerpt from each link in the feed?? Choose "Everything" or "100 characters"
6. How frequently should the module be updated? 6 or 12 hours
7. Would you like to display HTML in the excerpt? Yes
8. Click on "Save"

Now hit "Publish!" button, your 1st lens is live!

I am hearing about it but not join yet. Now i think to register.

I havent heard much good about this site

I've been to Squidoo and it helps in getting more traffic.

I love its new feature THE SQUIDOO HEALTH !

More exhaustively

I have heard about squidoo but i have never used it.

I love Squidoo. It has done wonders for my primary business. I'm also closing in on a Top 100 ranking in Business. Exciting!!!

is this realistic or does it take 500 hours of work for a quarter?

Thanks for the tips. Up to now, I never realized you could make money online from squidoo. I will be starting one soon.

Some people have literally hundreds of Lenses, though how they manage it I don`t know.

I think some look upon it as a form of work. The more lenses you have, the more money you earn. The higher those lenses rank, again the more money is earned.

Just having a couple of lenses won`t bring much in, even if they are high up the rankings. But, many lensmasters look upon their lenses as a good way to help promote their other blogs or sites, so indirectly they are possibly creating a better income by being at Squidoo.

I see one lensmaster has shown their earnings from Squidoo on their lens here.

Pretty impressive!

What exactly is a lens on squidoo? I understand that you can generate traffic using squidoo, but how exactly can u make money with squidoo?

thanks....very detail post...I think I understand how to you use squidoo.If we know how to use squidoo make money with it can be done.

You create your own page or "lens" which attracts visitors (hopefully).

Squidoo have Adsense on their site, and you can add Amazon ads too. Members get a percentage of the revenue earned through the advertising. Usually the more lenses someone has, the higher the amount they can earn.

And, if you have your own site/blog etc, then you can place a link or two from your lens(es) to your site or blog.
