![]() ![]() It's an overall good strategy in my eyes. You get the link love from all the sites, and the more you add and update (+ping) the more your main site gets a boost. If I were starting again right now, I'd develop sites on all of the good third party platforms and point them straight at my own hosted domain. ![]() Firstly, can generate revenue from the ads displayed in your lens. Plus no matter what, the only way you can get shut down with your own site is if you do the shuttin'. There are many ways to make money from Squidoo. When I started I decided to skip 2 lattes a month and 2 more per year. It's really not much money to start that way. It is a great time to start mucking about at the PHP and seeing how things work. Wordpress free is also nice, but there are monetization restrictions there (no adsense for example).Īs a beginner the first thing I would do is grab your own domain and throw up a wordpress install. I just mention blogger because it gets more google luv anyone have anything to say about weebly? I do have Wordpress blogs but I thought to test a product for viability that weebly might be a good alternative. Weebly has a good pagerank and it appears it would be a good alternative to Squidoo (which I have heard can give you problems) and blogger. Weebly can be setup as just a simple landing page or you can setup weebly as a blog to be the home page. WordPress is ideal for throwing up quick websites and the advantage is that you don't need to know anything about HTML and you can make your blog look unique.Īnd when you get started, use both Squidoo and Blogger (and more) to link to your WP blogs which will help with SEO. Get a hosting account that lets you add on multiple domains and then you can host as many as you like for peanuts. If you are short of funds, find something that you own that you can sell on eBay and invest the proceeds in getting your own online real estate. If you are serious about Internet marketing you really do have to get your own domain on your own hosting account. If I start to make any clickbank sales I will definitely set up my own site though. It is a legitimate website, and yes you can make money with it, because Hubpages will display ads on your hubs, and you earn a percentage of the revenues generated. Seems the best way to go is my own site.problem is I don't even have a dime to invest right now, that's why I'm going the bum marketing path. It is basically a publishing platform where people from around the world can create pages, called hubs, on topics where they have expertise or interest. It gives you more control, freedom and safety just in case Squidoo decides to stop your account. But I would also advice that you get your own domain name and also backlink to it. Writing articles and backlinking to your personal website or web2.0. It is always better to put everything on your own domain, but if you are going to go the free route, I recommend Blogger for landing pages.Thanks for all the advice everyone, very helpful. Squidoo also ranks very well in Yahoo and Bing search engines. I still have my first squidoo lense setup from October 2008, but I would have been much better off to use Blogger as my landing page instead of Squidoo. Use one of your Squidoo lense links to point to your blogger page. With blogger, there are no links, and you own the Adsense on the page if you set it up. I like Blogger better now as the free landing page because it is not as busy as Squidoo.Īs others have stated, once you have your Squidoo lense up and running, your readers have 20 different links to click on. If I had known what I know now, I definitely would have started with a blogger blog landing page. ![]() When I started a little over a year ago, I started with a squidoo lense. What do other Warriors think of this strategy? The product is sold on Amazon and Ebay, so I'll be selling through both. I would like to use one to market a niche product after identifying it from criteria on a very helpful post in the forum. I like the Squidoo lenses, as they are easy to set up and use. With a self hosted site, you can set up an Aweber opt-in and start a list- which for most marketers is a top priority. Then all all you do is pick a theme and write (unless you want to tweak it a bit). This takes no real technical skill, but you it does help to go to and read up on it a bit first. hosting from some place like Host Gator or Dreamhost and use their Fantastico/One-Step method to install WordPress. The easiest way to do full self-hosting is to get a $10/mo. I believe Steve Wagenheim has had a lot of success with it that way. Many marketers set up quick and easy blogs in Blogger for similar purposes as a Squidoo lens. All Blogger sites are hosted by Blogger/Google, but you can put your own domain name on it. Just to clarify, Blogger isn't a self-hosting package like the WordPress package from (not to be confused with, which is a free host for non-business blogs). You didn't get those 1K+ thanks for nothing. Alexa, if you're "incompetent" most of the rest of us are hopeless fools. ![]()
