New Widgets!

One of the perks of being a Squidoo Giant is being able to test out lots of new gadgets on Squidoo before they go live. So over the past few days, I have been having fun playing with the new side widget. It works just like all of the other modules on your Squidoo lens, except these show up on the side. With the widget you can add an Amazon Spotlight, Featured Lenses, Squidcasts, or your Blog RSS.

This has really been fun. I think it really makes a difference as well. I have updated a few of my lenses and added the widget. I've also created a couple new lenses that display the new widgets.

Here are my two lastest lenses using the widgets. Gotta Love Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and Gotta Love Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner)

Squidoo 52 Week Amazon Lens Building Challenge

Tiffany Lambert Dow has created a wonderful group for people who want to make money with Squidoo through affiliate marketing and Amazon specifically. If you are interested in learning for, you can check it out here.
The goal is to learn how to use Amazon to make money and to then take action and create one new Squidoo lens each week for 52 weeks.

Amazon and Squidoo

I am getting great results so far this holiday with Amazon and Squidoo. So far I have had 6 sales in November and 2 in December. It looks like December is going to be a great month with Squidoo Earnings. My lens Warm Snugly Slippers was the last sale. I sold two pairs of slippers. How cool is that!?

If you have any Squidoo Lenses, I suggest you make sure you have an Amazon module on all of your lenses, even if it isn't a sales lens. For example if you have a lens about Snow or How to Build a Snowman, you could ad an amazon module that sells gloves and scarves or snow shovels. Make it fun and watch your earning go up!
