Online income and earnings

One way of earning money is through Profit sharing sites. Squidoo and AGLOCO are two examples of such sites.

The interesting thing about Profit sharing sites is that they give their registered members a portion of their advertising earnings. The amount of profits a member gets usually is proportional to the amount of traffic driven to the site.

Squidoo is a Web 2.0 social networking site that allows you to build Lenses. A Squidoo page is rated based on the number of visitors to it. Therefore the more traffic you have, the larger the percentage of the advertising earnings.

Squidoo is a good free way to earn money, However, there are more and more people using it, thus competition is really getting stronger. As such it is really getting harder to earn money on it. The following are some methods that you can use for Squidoo success:.

1.Start impactful, unique and exciting Squidoo Lenses. Create topics that can grab the attention of readers. To start creating lenses, you must firstly register. Next click on Build Your Own Lens to start the building.. 

2.Add Google AdSense advertisements. What is Google adsense? It is a type of "pay-per-click" or "ppc". These ads are placed by publishers as advertisements to bring people to their websites. The publisher pay each time someone clicks on the ad, which brings them to the publisher's website. 

3.Make Friends on Squidoo. You can generate more traffic if your friends and their friends would visit your page often. As a reciprocal move , it is good to visit their site as well. 

4.Insert Affiliate Links. Incorperate affiliate links to earn commissions from sales of products. Affiliate marketing is itself a huge subject and thus is not within the scope of this article. Squidoo has features that allows you to, for example insert, Ebay or Amazon modules

All these can get pretty confusing at times. Therefore one may need some times to get used to the workings and functions of Squidoo. But nevertheless, it should proof to be worthwhile.

Additionally, Squidoo makes it easier to climb within the search engine ranks. How's that so? Well, let's say a lens is created and shared with others, and if other Squidoo members decide to add this particular lens to their favourites list, it can rapidly climb in ranking. This results in higher search engine visibility.  
 

Well, these are the information for using Profit Sharing Site, especially Squidoo. This is certainly not an exhaustive list. Hope that it has been useful.
