How to Sell Squidoo Lens

When someone buys a lens from you. You will want to go to your paypal account and send them an invoice for your lens. Just log into your paypal account and click the tab that says "request" money.  Type in their e-mail and the amount you want to be paid. Click goods and then type a note if you like. I always say something like thank you for the purchase of abc lens or something like that. Click Send.

Wait until you have been paid.

Then go to your Squidoo dashboard and look down the left hand side of the page where it says transfer a lens. Just simply follow the instructions.

Keep in mind the buyers Squidoo e-mail and Paypal e-mails may be different. So be sure to find out from your customer which one to use.

Have fun flipping Lenses.

Make Money Selling Squidoo Lenses

Over at Squidoo you have have heard people mention lens flipping or selling a Squidoo Lens. And I never ever considered selling off my lenses...until this past Christmas when I was struggling to keep 300+ lenses updated. I went through and realized that I had several lenses that I could part with for the right price. So I decided to start offering a few lenses up for sale.

The first thing I did was try to figure out the best way to let people know that I was selling lenses. So I created a Squidoo Lens to promote my products.

Then I needed to decide what to sell the lenses for. And it really is up to you how you want to do it. I prefer to uses the Squidoo Lens Valuation Tool as a guide. Again this is only a guide but it gives you a good idea what your lens is worth. Keep in mind a Christmas lens will be worth more in the fall then in the Spring and you also need to consider any affiliate sales that you generate. For example, in the last quarter of the year, I sold well over 100 board games though direct linking with Amazon on my New Board Games Lens. Yet the value according to the valuation tool is 12.74. I will probably never sell this lens but if I did I wouldn't accept less than a few hundred dollars, because that is how much I will make this Christmas on it.

I generally sell off lenses that haven't really aged yet.  I find that with proper keyword research I can generally get a lens indexed within a few days. But unless it is a really hot item it takes several months for me to really see substantial income from that lens. So I may decide to take the cash now by transferring or selling a lens to another lens master. This way I am helping them out as well.

Is Selling lenses right for everyone? No. But it seems to be working for me. I just keep creating new lenses each day and flipping some of the older ones. It is fun and it brings me extra income. Last month I earned an extra $375.00 by flipping my lenses. Which is just really cool.
