How to Make Money The Honest Way

Hi,

As far as spreading the word about your website goes, there is another great resource that is still very much underrated by many people. That is Squidoo. Squidoo is a place where people can get together and swap information, links and everything related to the online world by building a window to the web, known as a lens.

A Squidoo lens is really just a simple to create web page that you can put up in minutes and keep adding to as you go along. In may ways a Squidoo lens is similar to a blog but with a lot more features added. From a marketer’s point of view, your own Squidoo lens can provide your online business with many additional positive promotional benefits.

One is added exposure for your website which converts into more targeted traffic – something we could all use. More traffic to your website means more chances for affiliate sales etc. Then there are the all-important back-links. Squidoo is highly favoured by Google so your back-links to your site counts as coming from a high ranking website – good for your own page ranking, which in turn means a higher placement and even better traffic.

Of course, you don’t have to stick with one lens either. I have only recently discovered the great thing about Squidoo is that by creating several lenses on more specific topics from within your niche, you not only get more of those coveted back-links to your site, but even greater exposure to what amounts to very targeted traffic from readers interested in the specific topic you can cover with a dedicated lens.

So far, I have created three lenses. The first compliments The Honest Way, the second compliments my Alternative Cures site. I probably would have stopped there had I not realised the full potential of Squidoo. So I created a third on a specific topic within my Alternative Cures niche and was pleasantly surprised with the result.

So if you want to see how they all look, or are interested in creating your own Squidoo lens and wanted to see one or three live ones, here is the address of the sister lens for The Honest Way and my Alternative Cures lens:

See you Squidoo soon

Hi all,

The new series of articles covering how to build a website from the ground up is growing nicely. We’re up to article number 6 now and there’s still lots more to cover. The associated website that we’re building in real time to go along with the series is starting to take shape in that there is a homepage, site map and a style sheet, all of which are growing as the series moves forward with more HTML and CSS code being added.

In order to keep each phase of the website build in sync with the articles, the site’s files are being kept in its own tutorial folder. The actual website, Organic Sanity itself is being updated in real time, but anyone coming in at the beginning will still see the website grow from nothing by viewing the tutorial pages on their browser instead of opening the root index.php file.

Clear as mud?

Well, don’t worry. The articles are written in basic, plain English so anyone should be able to follow them and see how changes and additions in code make a web page change appearance right before their eyes!

So if you want to learn from the ground up but don’t want to plough though some stuffy manuals, then have a look at our tailor-made articles instead. You’ll be glad you did!

See you again soon…
