Welcome to my “1st of the month” internet marketing update for February. As always on AidanBooth.com, this post is only content and insights, no selling, just good stuff you can use to improve your business.
Today I’ve made a short video that reveals something pretty cool…a tactic I’ve been using in the last 4-5 months to making money online WITHOUT even owning a website…in fact:
This Unorthodox Method Pulled In $1219.83 From Just ONE Webpage & THREE Hours Of Work In The Last Few Weeks…Oh, & It’s 100% HANDS-OFF!
Check out the video below:
Cool???
Let me know what ya think in the comment section below!
Thanks for visiting 🙂
I can’t wait to see your new course !
Good video Aidan!
Cheers
Will
Thanks Aidan, this is very cool!
VERY cool Aidan!
Hi Aidan,
Cool video, nice and simple and scaleable, – rinse and repeat. Are you leading up to a product launch with this?
Roger
Hi Roger, I’ve got something cool happening on Monday, but it’s not exactly related to this video though.
You skip the “get ranking for your keywords bit”!
Saving that for your paid training no doubt.
No problem with that, just a little bit of a tease.
Roger
Haha – thanks for the comment Roger! There’s only so much I can jam into a 10 minute video! 🙂
Hello Aidan:
Always a pleasure to read your stuff.
Today’s post, no exception.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Aidan.
Good info as always.
It’s always interesting how Squidoo is circular in that once a year for the past 5 or so years someone tells me they’re making money on it. I’m listening today! Thanks, Aidan!
Hi Aidan,
This is a cool idea! Do you have any plans on making a product about using Squidoo for affiliate marketing?
thanks,
Cheree
Hi Cheree, I don’t have a plan for making a Squidoo product anytime soon, but I gave you an overview of the method in the video…perhaps further down the line I can look at doing something with it…but not yet 🙂
What a clever idea certainly worh a closer look.
Thanks
Russ
Hey Aidan did you take the video down?
And is this the new thing for 2013, similar to Authority Hybrid in 2012?
It’s still working Chan…try refreshing the page. Nope, the new thing is nothing like AH, completely different…
Love your enthusiasm and info. Can’t wait until Monday.
Was useful, thanks.
Looking forward to see what Monday Brings.
Cool idea Aidan – thanks for sharing
Always look forward to your latest info Aidan!
Thanks Aidan
Sqidoos are very intriguing with many different courses for how best to build them. How long ago did you build that one, as a rule of thumb, it seems about $1/day revenue after about 2 to 3 months. Also I understand CB is not one of their favourite monetizers, so there are some restrictions on categories.
Seeing you don’t appear to be releasing a squidoo product maybe you could recommend one with an affiliate link to you.
What do you think?
Hi Colin,
I built that lens at about the start of October, it took about 1 month to start making consistent sales (it took 1 month to get rankings). After 2 months it was already earning about $10-$15/day (around $400/month).
I can’t really recommend any Squidoo courses I’m afraid…I’m not aware of any really good ones…most I’ve seen are quite dated and kinda focus on temporary loop-hopes.
Thanks for commenting Colin!
Oh no, sharing your money making secret ? No gooroo(s) do that…
What a nice guy!!! For that, I am going to share my secret with you too, seriously. It would be an honor if I get email from you (Aidan).
Squidoo is one of the free website builder which I look fwd to monetize on. Hopefully this is something different from you.
Hi Aidan,
Nice to meet you! Just bought your new course with upsell:-)
I gave you a chance you’ve asked though never heard about you before.
It sounds very interesting and I will definitely try to implement all the stuff you shared.
A lot of reading:-)…
Thanks Aidan
Thank Inga!
First time to your web and stumble on this post, nice way of monetizing it. I’m gonna give it a try =)!
Bought your new course with upsell, looking forward to your training!
Awesome, thanks Xavier!
Wow! Aidin, thanks for keeping things real. I just picked up your Page One Evolution and it is outstanding.
Thanks Malcolm!!!
thanks for this awesome video aidan :)…
btw, what plugin are you using in this website ? here is the screen shot http://prntscr.com/ryt3e
thank you !
Hi Doddy, thanks for the comments, the list of Recent Posts is just built into my theme, Authority Pro 2…
Reminds me of a Steve Martin piece, “How to Be a Millionaire and Not Pay Taxes.” He goes on, “First, get a million dollars…”
So find a product that sells. Then all we have to do is get traffic to our site…
Yep, maybe I’m making it sound easy…but it’s really not that hard 🙂
Aidan,
Very good video about using Squidoo for affiliate sites. Looking forward to learning more, and reading thru the Page One Evolution stuff now. Thanks for the tips!
Glad you like it Michael!
Just great, Aidan! Recently got your PageOneEvolution and it’s just super to read about the success you’re continuing to have but even MOooRE super that it’s possible for others (me) 😀 to achieve as well. Your emails are superb motivation to keep me at the task as I work through your clearly outlined steps. I’m really enjoying it. It’s especially motivating for those of us trying to get our footing and still perhaps living in the hope of something financial being realised for us as well, ultimately. Your pre-weekend emails absolutely “hit the jackpot” for me. They determine my weekend activities at the moment but that’s more than okay – I love doing this and am aching 🙂 to do it fulltime and ditch the 9 to 5. Many, many thanks!
Hi Annette, thanks for the message and I’m really happy I’ve been able to motivate you. I’m preparing a cool video and report for you, I hope to have it ready next week, I think you’ll really like it as it shows how people with no real “footing” online, or no money making websites can actually get started (watch out for an email about that)…it’s a nice story 🙂
Great video. I did not know you can make that much money from squidoo lens.
Hi Sherry, you sure can! It’s all about giving targeted traffic what they need…it’s not that hard 🙂
This method using youtube ?squido?
Hi Jack, this particular video is about leveraging Squidoo lenses.
Aiden, I have the PageOneEvolution course.
I am just wondering if I should use Squidoo as a no-cost test before putting in time into building a PageOneEvolution site.
Hi Wai Kei, you could…but it really depends what you’re doing…even though Squidoo lenses rank quickly, I wouldn’t usually create one just to test something out, I’d want to have an idea that it’d work before I made any kind of webpage/website…
Hey Aidan, thanks for more great (and free) information! I’ve been using Squidoo solely for link-building to my sites as your courses outline, but I never even considered building and ranking them on their own for affiliate sales. Duh. I’m going to take this and replicate your success 🙂
Question… would you say you’d have to use ALL of the link-building tactics in pageoneevolution to achieve desired rankings for these lenses? Cheers!
Hi Kai, good to hear from you 🙂 Getting any page ranked (a website, a Squidoo lens, a Facebook page, anything), depends mainly on how competitive the niche and specific keywords are…one thing I will say is that Squidoo lenses can rank faster than websites initially – I wouldn’t recommend building a business model based on Squidoo lenses though, creating your own websites is definitely a better approach to take in the long term (although Squidoo lenses can earn some decent money in the short term with little effort). Thanks for commenting Kai!
Aidan, any reason why you chose Squidoo for this instead of just setting up your own mini site?
Hi Zeek,
I really just wanted to test a few things out…Squidoo lenses rank well so I thought they’re make a good option for people who don’t want to buy websites etc. I still prefer using websites that I own though, and in particular, authority sites (as opposed to mini-sites). Good question 🙂
Aidan,
My net is slow. I understood the concept, how do I find how to monetize it. I mean suppose I choose a product – how do I find a place to sell it. Couldnt view that part if its there in the video…
This is an awesome concept. WoW!
Hi Latha,
To monetize any Squidoo lens, you first need to think about what the visitor is looking for…then give them an affiliate link that solves their problem…thats about as technical as it gets 🙂
Hi Aidan,
I’m a member of your PageOne Evolution. I notice you recommend SEMrush, but the monthly fee is a bit steep for my budget. Is there any other keyword tool you can recommend that can get local search terms? Do you think Google Keyword is the best for that or is there any other software that can provide local keywords? Is there one that can give local search results for particular zip codes or cities? I think that would be kind of neat to have.
Thank you for your time and assistance 🙂
Hi Chris, great questions!
You can actually use the free version of SEMRush to do pretty much everything you need…
As for keyword research, the Google Keyword Tool is what I recommend…most other tools get their data from Google anyway…I’m not sure about a tool that can accurately estimate search volume down to a zip code level.
