Have you a desire to contribute charitably? Need inbound linking to your real estate website pages? Have a hobby, story, bio, or other to broadcast? Enter Squidoo. We've been involved with Squidoo for a few years now and have over 225 lenses, not only real estate related, but the children have done a few of their own. What we like the most about Squidoo is the ability to create something we need for business (or for a child's school project, interest) and donate the earnings to charity. Below is our current month's distribution of monies we earned and where the money is headed towards. A screenshot of our Squidoo dashboard:

Squidoo Earnings

The above earnings are from Squidoo's matching of Google's adsense. In other words, the monies above are not from affiliate sales, but from creating lenses (essentially, Squidoo webpages). We haven't gotten into the affiliate marketing thing much, but a friend is making as much $1000. per month on a single lens! If real estate sales are low, perhaps Squidoo may be an option for some to pay a few bills!

I have no idea what a lens is - is that an ad? But in any event it's very commendable that you're donating to charity in this way. Nice going!

We looked at Squiddo awhile back -- but it seemed complex -- obviously we need to go back and see what it is all about.

Good question.  Essentially, a lens is a webpage, but Squidoo's version of one!  I updated the blog with that detail!  ;)

I just joined Squidoo last week.  I need to go back to the page and study it to see what else I got myself inot.  I think, from what I understand, it is a great premise.

I have not had anyone look at my squidoo, but joined to help charities that I believe in.

You guys are a very giving couple. It is too bad there are not more people in our community with such big hearts.
