Have you ever thought of starting your Internet home based business to make money online?
Typically, most people who decide to start a Internet business start with affiliate marketing first. Unfortunately those that get involved in affiliate marketing never make more than about $100.
Considering the enormous market to tap, why do so many people who attempt affiliate marketing fail so badly?
The first mistake that most people make when thinking about starting affiliate marketing is to buy loads of ebooks, and “guides”, and jump from one program to another. They do this until the point of being in such a state of confusion that they have no idea of where to start and what to do.
The biggest problem is marketing and finding a cheap way to market their affiliate products and home based business as cheaply as possible.
One of the best ways to learn how to market your home based internet business is to start a Squidoo lens.
If you are not building sites to Squidoo, you are missing one of the quickest and easiest ways to market a product and get free traffic for your home based business website to make money online.
What is Squidoo.
If you have heard the term, but are unsure of what Squidoo is then this is the best definition of Squidoo,
Squidoo is a cross between a blog, a mini site, and a My Space page. Squidoo calls the sites “lenses” and the people who produce the sites are called “lensmasters.”
Squidoo lenses are very easy to make, even if you have not ever built a website or blog before. You can have a lens up and running in as little as 15 minutes.
Squidoo lenses are made up of “modules”. Squidoo has dozens of modules to choose from. There are modules for making lists. There are modules for You Tube videos. With a little knowledge of the module system, you can have your lens built in no time.
Squidoo is very lenient about allowing you to use third party advertising on your lens. You can promote your own home based business website if you wish or promote your favourite affiliate product.
How to make money with Squidoo
Squidoo also offers you a chance to make money online from your lens. Squidoo makes its money from affiliate advertising with Google AdSense, Amazon, ebay and several other sites.
The Amazon module is also very easy to use for people that are new at Squidoo. For the case of Amazon products, you simply enter the ISBN number of the Amazon product and Squidoo will pull it directly off the Amazon website, complete with the photo and the price.
Another module is the ebay module. With the ebay module, you can select products by keyword or by seller. If you sell a lot of products yourself on ebay, this is a great way to get free traffic to your auctions.
How to get more traffic to your Lens
One of the best ways to use Squidoo to build traffic to your home based business website or blog is by using the RSS feed module. You simply load the RSS feed from your website/blog and the Squidoo lens will update automatically as you update your website/ blog.
Squidoo lenses often rank very high on Google, so it’s a great chance to build some backlinks to your primary company website and hence increases your home based business website exposure in the Internet to make money online.
Conclusion
So if you are looking for a great way to market your product, get free traffic and make some money on the side then Why don’t you consider becoming a Squidoo Guru, it is not hard and you will be amazed at the results

If I understand correctly, we can create a lens and we link with another website.
What about, if we create a lens to promote the other business.
Should we be heavy promoter with a lens or moderate?
Thanks, dan

Hi All,
Dan it is totally up to you, sometimes I use my lens to promote a website or a product, other times I just promote the lens, because it gets more traffic.
