My Dreamhost became a nightmare! I noticed a few days ago that $238 had been automatically withdrawn from my bank account for a 2009 payment. Now, if I am not mistaken, we just entered 2008. I paid the 2008 year in full this December. Being the calm, reasonable Christian woman that I am, I sent them a polite e-mail. I got no response at all. Only after searching the website did I happen upon their blog which explained that they mistakenly billed over $9,600,000 from their customers. That was certainly a clue that something was wrong. They wrote that they were extremely sorry. I did get a refund. I hate it for people who may have had checks bounce over this, or people who had to pay important bills only to realize that the money was gone!

I recently began an experiment to see how my traffic would increase by creating content in Squidoo and Hubpage. So far have had over 150 visitors to my hub with 12 unique visitors to this blog and zero visitors to my Squidoo lens. I began both about two days ago. So far I am impressed with Hubpages. Six people have commented on my site. I will add some shout outs to them on this blog, later. When I visit my Squidoo lens, I think that I can actually hear the crickets chirping. How sad! Some bloggers had said that there were just too many people on Squidoo and spammers have caused Google to ease up on its love for the lens site. It looks like Hubpages may be Google’s new love interest. Squidoo is just another cold fish!

Cloud 10 is hiring at home professionals for online jobs this month. At home workers take orders, cancel accounts, and generally provide customer service on the phone, through e-mail or web chat. Your pay depends on the project you work, but you will probably make $9 to $10 an hour for this online job. You can work up to 40 hours per week, and the company would like employees who can commit to at least 20 hours per week. Expect to be busy. The company website states that employees are constantly busy. The company has several projects and will choose the best one for you! There is also good support from administration and technical support is available. The only hitch is that it looks like they want you to use a desktop which is connected directly to an ethernet connection. Wireless connections may pose a problem. Yes. You must have a high speed connection. A dial-up connection won’t cut it for this online job. This sounds like a great company for an online job! Apply for Cloud 10!

Here’s a rundown of my experience with Squidoo. I had heard of it and was interested in Squidoo, but I thought that it may be too complicated to worry about. I decided to give it a try. It took me about 20 minutes to create my first Squidoo lens last night. Squidoo lenses are like mini blogs, but you don’t have to worry about formatting, downloading a theme or anything like that. You simply choose text boxes, upload pictures, and load items to sell (it’s easy) and go. It’s free to use Squidoo, but the company keeps a percentage of the money you earn through selling the items. I found the set-up process to be easy. You just create a new account, add modules for writing and modules for monetizing through Squidoo. Squidoo offers you the opportunity to sell items from Amazon, eBay, and Cafe Press on your lens. You can select the items that you would like to sell or allow Squidoo to choose the items based on your key words. All you have to do is click a few selections on the site. You don’t need to sign up to sell on Amazon if you don’t want to.

What are Affiliates?
You can also put your own affiliate links on Squidoo. Affiliates earn a cut from items that are sold. For example, by placing a product from Amazon.com on your site, you earn a percentage from every product sold. When placing your own affilate links on Squidoo instead of using Squidoo’s tool, you earn the full affiliate percentage (instead of just getting a cut of the money). So, if you sign up to become an affiliate with Amazon and you put the link that Amazon give you on your the lens, you don’t have to worry about Squidoo taking part of the money. There are all sorts of items and services that you can sell and get a percentage of the money. Visit ClickBank and see what I mean.

Who is Making Money With Squidoo
From what I can tell, people who are earning hundreds of dollars on Squidoo have been on it for a while and are creating or have content-rich lenses (lenses with a lot of content) and they are constantly updating that content. It should only take a couple of minutes a day to update a lens. People are creating multiple lenses on a variety of topics. They then link their lenses to their blogs and also link them to each other. Google gave Squidoo a slap a few months ago so the flood of traffic is no more from what I can tell. You can get some good backlinks, though. Create the lenses and link them to your blog. Your page rank may move up.

How Much Will You Earn from Squidoo
Realistically, I predict that you may earn a few cents a day. I know! That’s not what you are after, but I don’t think that the time is over for Squidoo! I like Squidoo, because people who cannot sign up for an Adsense account can still get a percentage of Adsense money from Squidoo’s Adsense account (that is if people visit your lens, etc.,) I do think that it is worth it to at least have a few lenses out there and to get your own backlinks without having to beg for them! I’ll let you know if I end up making any money from Squidoo.
