Great post AJ. I have to admit that one of the reasons that I do not comment indiscriminately on other people’s lenses is that I don’t always have something to say. I delete any comment with a link in it. […]

Excellent questions, and no, you do not. Just use Squidoo’s modules. A great benefit if you don’t have an EPN account.

Hi Mac,
You will sell more from a lens if the items are closer to the top of the lens. As the TOC serves only to get your reader to click further into the lens (a worthy goal) but doesn’t make money, I like to […]

I disagree with him on this, then. I think anything that takes your reader away from what you are selling is a distraction. Polls are fun, but in general do not promote sales.

I always make a goal to compete with myself. You can too. For instance one of my goals this month is to double my amazon sales from last January. Look for ways to continue increasing your income in little ways on […]

Thanks Paul. I often will put right in the text, “Click the links on this page to get more information, bigger pictures, or to buy”

Your simple question is really a multi-faceted question. I will answer some of it in an upcoming post.

Yes, there is definitely a pattern to the year, however, we should always be expecting some change and learn to adjust for them as best as possible. Good luck with your tweaks.

Hi Jane, I have asked around to people that know more than me, and the answer is there is nothing to replace the Clearspring tools. It was a security risk for Squidoo and they have closed that gap. The only […]

Bev, this is pretty much my same reasoning. My priority is to increase my income. Writing lenses for quests does not do that for me, so I don’t do them. I do participate in some of the quests for visiting other […]

By games, I think he means the monsters, quests, etc.

Another great interview, AJ. Good to hear from Gil on what he has been up to, and a bit about the planning time for Squidoo.

It is a very nice website, and pretty easy to use once you learn it.

Barb, you may want to look for some of that information on this site. We have discussed that quite a bit here.

I do think we should wait. I am only fixing stuff that really stops the lenses from shifting sizes. Most of my html and css seems to be working okay.

Thanks Jason.

That is really cool, Nancy. You have done so much for your town.

Excellent post and so true. No one is perfect, we all fail, and the ones who win are the ones who manage to cope most of the time. We need to remember the rewards show up in the long term, and that as you say, […]

I have to respectfully disagree with you on this. Lenses designed to sell can reach the first tier just as much as any other type of lens. There are a lot of different factors that push lenses into the top tier. […]

It is never too late to make a lens for the holidays. You may make money this year, and yes, they will still be there next year to do more. Great question!
