The more I participate at Squidoo.com by building lenses and adding those lenses to groups, the more I see pages on Squidoo referenced in my traffic stats on various sites I have.

What?

I mean that Squidoo is sending an ever-increasing stream of traffic to my sites, blogs, and forums.

Thinking about that, I took a little time this morning to create a new Get A Free Marketing Site lens on Squidoo.

Then, I found several related groups and submitted my new lens to them.

This morning, my lens is ranked at over 180,000. I’m guessing it will jump to about 30,000 or less in the next 24 hours. Then, who knows where it will end up.

To make it a bit more interesting, I added a Plexo module where you can vote for your favorite marketing book on the lens, and I added an RSS feed for marketing articles from 21st Century Articles, my article directory specializing in business, communications, technology, and self-improvement articles.

If you don’t see your favorite marketing book on the list, please feel free to add it.

I have been getting tens of thousands of page views to my Get A Free Marketing Site suite of marketing tools at LinkScout, and I know it has been worth the time and effort - and money - I’ve invested in it.

Therefore, I feel confident in recommending it to you, too.

Act on your dream!

PS. I also recommend that you start building as many Squidoo lenses as you need to promote your business, talk about your hobby, or write about anything in which you are interested. It’s free, and you may well get paid by Squidoo. I earn a small check from them every month, and that’s a lot better than buying advertising, in my opinion.

If you have a blog on just about any topic, you should create a related lens at Squidoo, and don’t forget to use the RSS module to syndicate your blog feed.

It brings me more visitors, and I’m sure it will work for you, too.

The big lie about the Internet is that it’s easy to make money. Just put up a website and everyone will come and buy what you offer and you can retire rich with no effort.

It’s just not that easy. Anyone can put up a website in a few hours or days, but most of those sites die a slow death because of a lack of visitors and buyers.

However, it doesn’t have to be that way. The key to a successful website is good quality content. People on the Internet are not searching for you, they’re searching for information to help them solve a problem or accomplish a goal.

By providing that information in a format that is easily indexed by the search engines, those same search engines will send hundreds or thousands of visitors every month to your site for free. You don’t have to keep advertising once you learn how to build a site that provides what people are searching for.

I learned about Ken Evoy when I first bought his ebook, Make Your Site Sell!. That was the best $17 I ever spent. He updated the book in 2002 to over 1500 pages of quality information and raised the price to $30. Now, the 2005 edition is very close to release and will be available at the link earlier in this paragraph.

Over the next four years, he and his team have built the best web design, website hosting, and website promotion service on the planet, and they sell this service for only about one dollar per day. I’m using Site Build It! to build A Year From Now and I’m seeing a steady increase in visitors every month, even though I won’t go into full development on that site for another month.

I love the products that Ken sells, and I’ve arranged to give away — free — several of his ebooks, all of which are in Acrobat PDF format. You can download any of the courses listed below at no charge.

The Affiliate Masters Course is what helped me finally start earning affiliate commissions. Now, I earn 100% of my income from affiliate marketing.

The Net Auctions course sold for $30 just last year, and now it is offered free.

If you sell a service, the Service Sellers Masters Course will help you learn to effectively marketing your service online.
