As you might aware, Squidoo pay Lensmaster SquidooCash monthly with 2 BIG things to look at.

1. How high is your Squidoo Lens Ranks?

The highest your Lens Rank, the more SquidooCash you will be paid. To maintain high Lens Rank, you can perform the simple tricks same as me. For me, I allocate 30 minutes per weeks for 5 Squidoo Lens (I have about 30+ Squidoo Lens at this moment).

For every Squidoo Lens, I will create a new text modules and put in some related information and post it. Something I will just post related affiliate products from Amazon, eBay, etc.

You will be get good Lens Rank if you do it on a weekly basic.

Goal for 2008

Well well well…. it is a start of 2008. It is the usual time for us to look back for our achievement/failure and set a new target to move on.

I start off the affiliate marketing in Jun 2007 and it just past 6 month and it is time to do a stock count of what I have achieve.

Affiliate Sales : Approx $5,300 from Clickbank, CJ, Squidoo and PaydotCom and my latest toy - MoreNiche.

Affiliate Expenses : Approx $500 from Getresponse, Anhosting, NicheBot.

Non-Monetary : PageRank 2 for this site.

In total, I have earned about $4,700 from the affiliate marketing, it might not look good to those “Super” affiliate Marketer, but I have hit my personal target of earning $5,000 within the 6 months. A big step for building my passive income online.

So, what next????

I won’t want to make a unrealistic target for myself when I am still working this affiliate marketing out of my 9 to 6 job. So I am going to set a target for 2008.

Target for 2008

Affiliate Sales : $24,000 in 12 months times (Average of $2,000 per month).

Affiliate Expense
: Keep in within $2,000 in Year 2008.

Non-Monetary : To get a PageRank 6 for this site. Setup 6 new affiliate product sites and get a Page Rank 3 for all.

Ultimate Goal for 2008 - To have my first product launch in mid 2008!!

I have set mine!! What yours?

I was surfing the web few minutes ago… and something caught my eyes!!

Owner of www.BuildMyLens.com is offering to create Squidoo Lens at a price of:-

1. A La Carte Lens - $147

2. VIP Niche Expert 4 - Pack - $537

With such a simple and easy to learn system like Squidoo, I really can’t think of a reason why we will pay such a high price for that? Would you?
