I decided to try to sell four of my Squidoo lenses. I posted in the Squidu forum asking if anybody wanted to buy my lenses. Within an hour of posting I had been offered $20 for the lenses. It was all so quick and it makes me think that I should give lens flipping a serious try as it could make me a lot more money. The thing is that I would have to write loads and flip them really quickly to make a lot of money and my busy life would not allow for that to happen.
That being said I did put together a "Lenses for sale" lens and have put a few of my lenses on there to try to sell them although if it doesn't work I will carry on selling through the Squidu forum.
With the $20 I made today that means that I have $999961.29 left to make. This may take a while but I will eventually get there.

Creating a passive income guide
I was recently contacted by a person who has read several of my articles and has taken an interest in this here blog. He recommended a book to me that I have now purchased and read from cover to cover twice. My contact told me that if I wanted to make a million dollars I should read Secrets to creating a passive income and becoming financially free - even in a slow economy by John Clark Craig.
I wasn't sure at first if this book would be of any help in my goal but decided to give it a try. I figured that if it was no good I could always resell it on Amazon. The thing is the book was great there are a lot of useful tips and some really great advice within it that I will be attempting to implement in my own projects. The best part about this book is that it gives tons of information about ways to make money that do not require you to spend hundreds of dollars on software and schemes. For almost every money making technique within this book you already have the required items to make the project work. Hopefully I will begin to see some improvement in my passive earnings after following some of the advice from the book.
If you wish to purchase a copy of this book please feel free to use the link below:

Blogging Reviews
I recently read a newspaper article that was about a guy who had managed to blag about £40,000 of free stuff by using his blog and writing about products. I decided to look into this and found that there are many review blogs out there and some of them do get free sample products sent to them. There are some amazing blogs that review electronics such as things like the iPad and stuff like that and companies send them the product so that they can write about it.
This may be an idea to try out I could quite easily make a blog. I could start a blog that reviews products I have around my house and give an honest review of them and whether they are worth the money or not. If I do that and then manage to make it a popular blog companies may send me free samples so that I could tell people about them.
Some companies do this because they like to create a buzz about their product so that people are more likely to buy it. Sending a couple of iPads to popular review blogs would mean that Apple were saving a lot of money advertising. Sending those free samples to the blogs would have cost less than a big TV ad campaign it also means that Apple is reaching a global audience without spending huge amounts of money.

Back links and Social bookmarking
If you are trying to make money online via article writing or blogging it is very important to know about back links and the power of social bookmarking as they can help to boost traffic to your pages. Every time I publish a Squidoo lens or a Hubpage hub (or any other article writing site that I use) I make sure to add as many back links to them as possible as they help to improve the search engine page ranking. The following is a small list of sites that I use for creating good quality back links to my pages.
1) Facebook & Twitter- are excellent for creating back links and for getting lots of lovely traffic to your pages.
2) Shetoldme.com - allows you to bookmark your articles and also shares its ad revenue with you the user. The amount of adsense revenue that you will earn from this site is small but every penny counts.
3) Redgage.com - this shares money with you. Every time your bookmarks get viewed you get a couple of cents
4) Best-reviewer.com - this allows you to make top lists and places adsense ads on those lists that you create. It shares the adsense revenue with you.
There are literally thousands of sites that you can use to create back links to boost your sites traffic but the above are just a few of my favorites. Feel free to join them and start earning more money through your online articles. You can find loads of social bookmarking sites and social bookmarking tools just by searching for bookmarking sites through Google. If you are unsure how backlinks affect your Google rank then just do a little research as there are thousands of sites dedicated to explaining things like do-follow and no-follow backlinks and where to find the best sites to post backlinks.

First Squidoo Payday
Today was the first Squidoo.com payday of my make a million challenge. I have received money from Squidoo before but I am not counting those as part of the challenge only what I earn since beginning the make a million challenge.
The payment I received was to the amount of $3.71. I know this is not a lot of money but it is still some cash to take off the grand total of $1,000,000. I have also added that to a sum of $15 that I earned for placing a couple of back links within my articles to a pet cage website. I got an email from a guy who was looking to get some back links to his website and offered to pay me $15 for me to put some back links on my Squidoo and Hubpages. I checked out the site and agreed. $15 for 5 minutes work is not a bad thing.
So now $1,000,000 - $18.71 = $999981.29 left to earn.
I know that at this rate it may take a very long time to make a million dollars but if I keep writing articles and keep finding new ways to make some money online I may increase my monthly earnings.

Make a Million Challenge
I decided a few weeks ago that I would like to see how long it will take me to make $1,000,000 online. I have made some money in the past from writing articles and blogs but I decided that I would be fun to attempt to make a million dollars. I figured that if I can make $1 I should in theory be able to make $1,000,000. I have written a Squidoo lens that explains the whys and hows of this challenge so please feel free to read my Make a Million Squidoo lens.
I decided to start a blog to keep track of the ideas that I have for making one million dollars and also to keep track of how much money I have earned. Since starting the challenge I have made a total of $15 so I still have a long way to go.
Most of the money I make comes from article writing and I write for several different sites although Squidoo.com is the one I have written the most for and have made the most money from. I will list the sites I use for article writing and provide links for you to go and see what they are like if you feel like joining in this challenge you may want to join some of the following writing sites and how many articles I have written for each.
Squidoo.com = 75 articles written
Hubpages.com = 22 articles written
Triond.com = 10 articles written
From these article writing sites I tend to make about $5-$10 per month, although this is beginning to increase as I write more. I will try to post on here regularly and will blog about any new ways of increasing my online earnings as and when I find them.
Happy hunting.
