How To Make Money On Google

How I Make Money On Google For Free

If I’ve been asked once, I’ve been asked a thousand times – “Jennifer, How do you make money on Google?”. When I first started making money online, no one really paid much attention to what I was doing (or they thought it was a scam…or it wouldn’t work…etc, etc), but now that things are really kickin’ for me and we have enjoyed a serious positive life-style change, suddenly people want to know what I do, how it works, and how they can make money on Google, too. So, I decided it is time for this post to explain the basics of how I make money on Google for free. How To Make Money On Google >>>

Google Snippet Links For Squidoo

How To Get a Google “Jump To” Link For Your Squidoo Lens

Anyone seen the new snippet links in the Google search results? Some folks call them jump to links – I’ve also seen them called section links – but regardless, they are quite cool and make your Google listing stand out by offering the searcher another link to exactly what they are looking for on that one web page. While you can get snippet links to show in Google for any web page, they are really easy to get in Google with a Squidoo lens. …continue reading – Google Snippet Links For Squidoo

Dear Mr eBay, Please Call Squidoo

Can’t ePN and Squidoo Get Along?

Since the announcement of the change to eBay affiliate payout structure this past August 19th, there has been a LOT of craziness surrounding the eBay Partner Network (eBay’s in-house affiliate program). One of the main changes was the new guideline that retracted affiliates option to put their eBay affiliate links on web pages they do not own. In other words, sites like HubPages and Squidoo that were once famous for being a strong authority sites to expose your links are now a “no go”. It seemed as if eBay was going to work something out with Squidoo tho since Squidoo is such a strong affiliate for eBay. However, this has not happened…leaving many Squidoo lensmasters out to dry. …continue reading – Dear Mr eBay, Please Call Squidoo

Grab a cup of coffee because you are about to take a long trip inside the brain of PotPieGirl (be afraid…be very, very afraid…lol) …continue reading – Squidoo Lens Google Ranking Case Study

Should We Boycott Squidoo? (Part 2)

Let Me Try This One More Time =)

Apparently there was some confusion about my last post regarding boycotting Squidoo. First off, my apologies if the points I was trying to make were unclear. It also seems from the comments that folks wanted to know if *I* thought we should boycott Squidoo….and I didn’t flat out give my answer. While I thought I was clear, it seems I was clear as mud… so let’s try this one more time. …continue reading – Should We Boycott Squidoo? (Part 2)

Should We Boycott Squidoo?

Is It Time To Pack Up Our Affiliate Links and Move On?

This is something I rarely do, but after reflecting on it for a bit, I think it’s the right thing for me to do. There has been a lot of strong conversation about Squidoo inside the Wealthy Affiliate forum. Lots of frustration…lots of opinions. Today, I replied to one of these threads and typed way more than I intended to (hey, brevity is not my specialty…lol!).  I usually keep my “insider info” locked inside the Wealthy Affiliate community, but after reading what I posted, I think it is the right thing for me to share my thoughts on Squidoo with everyone and invite your feedback. …continue reading – Should We Boycott Squidoo?

How To Add an Ebay Affiliate Feed To a Lens (Video)

Using eBay to Monetize Your Squidoo Lens

Time for another amazing video from PotPieGirl!  I get a lot of questions about how to add an eBay RSS feed to a Squidoo lens that has YOUR eBay (ePN) affiliate link embedded in it. Many of us are eBay affiliates and would prefer to use our own eBay affiliate link on our Squidoo lenses.  These RSS feeds are really attractive to your lens readers because they get to SEE what is currently available as far as the product they are looking for. Adding your own eBay RSS feed is super easy to do!  Instead of TELLING you how to add the eBay RSS feed, why not just SHOW you? …continue reading – How To Add an Ebay Affiliate Feed To a Lens (Video)

How To Get The Ads Off Your Squidoo Lens

And a Happy 4th of July…

Pretty sure that most of us Squidoo users have noticed a bunch of new advertising on the Squidoo.com site lately.  Seems the most annoying ad to most lensmasters is the big banner ad at the top of our lenses. Good news is that Squidoo is just testing these ads to see how they do.  Bad news is, some lensmasters just can’t stand them.  If you are one of the Squidoo lensmasters that wants to to get some ads OFF your lens, keep reading and follow my step-by-step directions (with pictures). …continue reading – How To Get The Ads Off Your Squidoo Lens

Should Affiliate Marketers Leave Squidoo?

Is It Time To Take Our Content Somewhere Else?

Since the announcement of the impending policy changes at Squidoo.com, I have read a LOT of varying opinions and feedback.  I’ve also been “accused” of looking at these policy changes thru rose-colored glasses in an attempt to remain friends with Squidoo, or because I have some deep vested interest in others loving Squidoo, or something to that effect.  While this annoys me to some degree, I felt that in the spirit of transparency, I should talk about that.  I should also say straight out whether I think it’s time for affiliate marketers to leave Squidoo or not.  So, let’s talk… …continue reading – Should Affiliate Marketers Leave Squidoo?

RedGage – Money-Making Social BookMarking

Get Paid To Book Mark Your Content

RedGage is a new social bookmarking type service with a twist.  Apparently, when you bookmark your own online content at RedGage, you get paid for views of that bookmark.  Make any sense?  Confused me, too, so I thought I’d check it out.  Within my first 42 minutes of submitting a link book mark to my “How To Sell An eBook With PayPal” post yesterday, I made $5.80 on RedGage.  It appears I got some sort of bonus from the site owners or editors or something (not too sure yet), but it definitely got my interest and made me take a look closer at this RedGage site.  Here’s what I’ve learned… …continue reading – RedGage – Money-Making Social BookMarking
