Squidoo is a free site where you create lenses. Each lens focuses on a topic of interest to you. You can create a lens on just about anything.

As you create your lenses with the easy modules Squidoo provides, you can select ways to use Squidoo for profit by adding Amazon, eBay, Cafe Press and other modules that Squidoo has available. You can also add your own affiliate links. Squidoo shares the profits from your lenses with you. You get 50%, Squidoo takes 45% and gives 5% to charity. If you are using your own affiliate links you keep all the earnings you make. Squidoo also has it set up so you can donate your earnings to charity if desired.

The key to making money with Squidoo is to provide quality content and drive traffic to your “lenses”. You can’t make a sale without traffic.

The first step to Squidoo for profit is to get a Squidoo account. Sign up here. Next be sure to change the global settings in your dashboard. You can elect to keep all the money or donate some or all of it to charity.

Then follow the easy steps Squidoo gives to create a lens. You can add photos, widgets, and more with the modules. Create lenses each week and you can grow your income.

I highly recommend Pot Pie Girl’s ebook, “One Week Marketing”. In the ebook, Jennifer gives step by step tools and directions on how to choose a niche and keywords to use Squidoo for profit. You learn to create a lens that can earn. She also describes how to drive traffic to your Squidoo lenses. Jennifer offers a free 18 month report to help you get started at Squidoo. Get Jennifer’s free report here.

Keep in mind that Jennifer has tons of lenses at least 50+ and she earns income with other online businesses. Think of Squidoo for profit as a way to make some pocket change and potentially more if you work hard at it. It is also a great way to drive traffic to your blog or website.

I just made my first lens. Check it out here and let me know what you think; Squidoo.com/SkinCareForWrinkles.

Well my lenses that I spent quite a bit of time on were locked.  Apparently, they have stricter rules now on what is and is not allowed on Squidoo. It is unclear specifically what is and what is not allowed on Squidoo. At this point I would advise new Squidoo users to be sure your lens follows the new rules. You may want to use Squidoo to point links to your own website to drive traffic there or use the affiliate modules Squidoo provides so you are sure the affiliate link is allowed.

GREAT NEWS! My lenses were unlocked as meeting Squidoo criteria and they are back online.

You can read through a list of HITS available to you and decide to accept or not. Once you complete the HIT, the requester will check your work and either approve it for payment or not approve it. This may take several minutes or it may take days.

Realistically it would be very difficult to make alot of money as an Amazon Mechanical Turk. If for example you work on a HIT that asks you to write several reviews and it takes you an hour and the pay is $4.00. Then you are working for $4.00 an hour. Or if you work at a HIT that pays one cent and it takes you 10 seconds. Then you will earn six cents every minute or $3.60 an hour.  You can make more, but it will take time and experience to find the jobs that you can do quickly that pay well.

There are some people that have learned which Amazon Turk jobs can be completed the fastest and make a nice sideline income as an Amazon Turk. You can learn from them and pick up more tips at  Amazon Turk Forum

The truth is, there is a lot more involved in Mystery Shopping than a simple…mmmhmmm it was good or yes the store was clean.  Yes there are free meals, clothes and other goodies for Mystery Shoppers but it involves  paying close attention and reporting objectively on alot of nitty, gritty details.  If you complete  a Mystery Shop meal at a fast food restaurant you may be asked to;  time your server, report on the temperature of the food, the speed at which you got your check and the cleanliness of the establishment among other things.

There are a wide variety of mystery shopping companies and they specialize in different types of shops from restaurants to retail stores. Although there are some very upscale shops available, they are few and far between and involve tremendous work. A typical  Mystery shop would involve buying and returning something from a retail store and noting  store and transaction details.  Another typical Mystery shop might  involve evaluating a fast food chain. Was your food hot? How long did it take for service?  What was your servers name? Did the server ask you if you wanted the super size?  Were the floors clean? etc.

Pay for Mystery Shopping varies. Though some companies do pay a fee to the shopper. Others consider the food you ate or merchandise you received your payment. Keep in mind if you go over budget you are responsible for the difference in price. And if you dine out, or purchase something you usually have to pay up front and submit receipts to be reimbursed.

If you have a great attention to detail, good memory and enjoy trying products and services then you may want to give Mystery Shopping  a shot. One site to try Mysteryshop.org.

The Super Affiliate Handbook

If you are interested in blogging and earning income like I do,  I highly recommend the Keyword Academy. It is FREE  to join for the first full month. Use my link and let me know you did. I will be happy to share tips and look at your blogs.  Click here to join the Keyword Academy

Honestly, I am not sure what to think about Kooday, but since a lot of people are claiming they are making fast and easy money with it, I decided I better check it out for MyLilGoldDress.com, the work at home money site.

Kooday is launching a search engine but a very different kind of search engine.  With Kooday you can buy your own keywords. People can buy them from you or they can pay to link to the word and advertise their site.  Many Kooday members are making bank buying and selling keywords to other members.

To start with Kooday, you need to purchase Kooday dolars. One Kooday dollar equals one U.S. dollar. You need to invest a minimum of five dollars. Kooday uses AlertPay to simplify the process of buying and selling Kooday dollars. You can sign up for an account at AlertPay free  Once deposited you can purchase keywords. The starting price of a keyword is ten cents. So if no one has ever purchased the keyword you can buy it for a dime. When someone buys it from you, they will pay 15% more than what you did, so you earn a profit.

I put $15.00 into Kooday and went through lists of words I thought could turn a profit. To my surprise many of these words were already selling for a chunk of change. “Make Money Online” for example was over $1,000! But as I continued typing in words I came up with quite a few that I could purchase inexpensively.

Here are some of the words I currently have for sale.
amazonian profit plan $0.10
article marketing robot $0.17
bob haircuts $0.10
build my rank $0.10
eat pray love movie $0.10
keyword academy $1.40
magic article rewriter $0.10
magic article submitter $0.10
movies in theaters now playing $0.10
movies nyc $0.10
new movies coming soon $0.10

A word of caution, as I purchased words I went very quickly and ended up with a typo “free steaming movies”. Vince Huff another Kooday member was a sweetie to buy it from me.   So watch your spelling! After purchasing words I promoted them by joining the Facebook group “Kooday Profits”. I was happy to see a few quick sales.

If you buy low and sell high you can quickly build up a bank of words and profits. Another way to make money with Kooday is through links.  Someone may want to have their website link to a word you own. If they purchase a link to a keyword you own you share in the profits.

As you become more involved with Kooday you can reach different levels and higher payouts.

Here are some tips on how to make money with Kooday;

1.  Purchase inexpensive keywords that are popular. You can use the free Google Adwords Keyword Tool to help you determine which words to pick. Or you can use a paid program like Micro Niche Finder.

2.  Advertise your keywords on Kooday forums and social sites such as the Facebook site;  Kooday Profits.

3. Refer friends to Kooday. You get commissions each time they buy keywords or link a Website. The payout is 10% on Kooday keyword purchases and 30% on website links.

4. Network with other Kooday members to gain tips and ideas to increase your profits.

5. Limit your initial investment in Kooday. Keep your initial investment in Kooday small. There are people who claim to have parlayed $5.00 into hundreds even thousands of dollars BUT Kooday is a very new site. The search engine has not launched yet. It does not have a track record.  Play it safe and keep your investment small.

At this point Kooday does not have anything to really back it up. It relies on members buying and selling keywords. The search engine hasn’t launched yet either. So I really don’t see a lot of substance behind Kooday at this time. If you decide to try it out, I would treat it as a side venture not as a sustainable business.

I personally am viewing it as a little diversion from my daily online money making activities. So I am treating it more like entertainment than a money making opportunity. Yes some people say they have made thousands but Kooday is in it’s infancy and does not have a track record.

Want to give it a try?  Sign up for Kooday.

Some years ago salesman Matt Eldridge, realized that though he was great on the phone communicating to customers, his emails turned customers off. The emails came off as pushy and aggressive. So he developed a system called ToneCheck. ToneCheck is the equivalent of spell check. But instead of checking words it checks emotions. It works with Microsoft Outlook to scan emails for potential problems. ToneADay.com is the tester site for ToneCheck.

How You Can Make Easy Online Money at ToneADay

At ToneADay thousands of word phrases are grouped in batches. You are presented with a word. You then adjust sliders to share your emotion on how that word makes you feel. Naturally, words stir a different reaction in different people so there is no right or wrong answer. However, if ToneADay does not feel you rated accurately, you will be disqualified and not get paid. What criteria they use is unclear, but I am willing to guess that the faster you go the more likely you are to be disqualified.

Working for ToneADay

Sign up to evaluate words at the website, ToneaDay.com. Then dig in and start working. You have to complete 100 ratings as a test to pass the qualifying level. Once you do you will be paid $2.00.

Future pay outs are made depending on your qualifying level at ToneADay.com. After the $2.00 test payout, the next payout is at $30.00. Then $20.00. You can cash out at progressively lower amounts with higher qualifications. You will have to rate about 1500 words phrases or words for the $30.00 payout. There are 4 levels after you have become a qualified ToneADay.com worker.
List of Payouts from the ToneADay website:

“At the Emotional Willingness Level, you can cash out after earning $30.
At the Emotional Purpose Level, you can cash out after earning $20.
At the Emotional Competence Level, you can cash out after earning $10.
At the Emotional Wisdom Level, you can cash out after earning $4, and continue rating without holding your withdrawal.”

Payout at ToneADay
In order to cash out at ToneADay.com you must meet the payout amount for your level. In addition you must log into your account and click redeem earnings, they will not be sent automatically. You will also need to select a charity to donate a portion of your profits to. Donating to charity is a requirement. Once you have initiated the process, ToneADay will check your work and pay you. This may take one to two weeks.

Tip – Don’t wait to cash out. Once you hit your level for payment, cash out. Though most people are paid, if you go to fast or are found not to be “accurate” according to their metrics, you will lose any payment due.

Yes you can make easy online money at ToneADay, but at 2cents per word evaluation, it is not fast money.
