Have You Taken Action on the Squidoo Christmas Cash Blueprint Yet?
The biggest thing that can stand in your way with internet marketing is 4 little words.
I ALREADY KNOW THAT
Think about how many times you’ve bought a product, downloaded a freebie, or read a blog post, and said ~ “oh yeah, I already know that” .
What happens when your mind finds those 4 little words?
It discounts anything you read, it makes you close the pdf, it makes you jump to the next thing, and worst of all . . .
It stops you from taking ACTION!
You will find the only way to win the game of internet marketing is to take action, and usually it’s not a little bit of action, it’s a LOT of action.
Here’s my questions to you today.
Have you built a Squidoo lens using the information in the Squidoo Christmas Cash Blueprint yet?
If not, WHY?
Is it because you already knew it?
If yes ~ then why aren’t you doing it? It’s a system that works if you take action ~ so take action.
Is it because you just don’t get how to put the pieces together?
If yes ~ then get a little one on one help and get started.
Is it because you don’t have the Squidoo Christmas Cash blueprint yet?
If yes ~ WHY NOT!! It’s free ~ go grab it now.
Here’s what can happen when you start taking action and implementing the steps of the Blueprint.
Thanks so much Jackie. I have been mulling over how to get started with Christmas Lenses. By the way, thanks for your help getting my lenses set up. They made me 65 dollars this week
Hi Jackie,
2nd week I made over $80 on Squidoo following your advice. Putting your blueprint into place this past week. You are brilliant… thanks so much,
Mac
This can be you ~ but you have to take action. The first lens can be frustrating ~ but I promise the more you do the easier they get, the faster you can get them done, and the better you’ll get at choosing niches ~ and all that turns into making more money!
You mission for today ~ should you choose to accept it.
1. Download Squidoo Christmas Cash Blueprint. (if you haven’t already)
2. Create your first Christmas Cash Lens.
3. Come back here and tell us all about it. (use the name field in the comment section for your kw, and the url for your lens url ~ and you’ll get a nice backlink too. Just make sure you leave a nice little comment too.)
Can’t wait to see you taking action!!

Jackie, this has to be one of the best ideas I’ve read about and so simple. The fact that Squidoo has an Amazon tool is wonderful. I created my first lens on Friday, but have yet to receive any traffic. Do you know if the other folks that are doing this also putting up a blog, or just the Squidoo lenses? I’m a newbie, but learn very fast and am currently in ’sponge’ mode.
Thank you
Thanks for the excellent info and encouragement!
Have made 30 lenses…may not be targeting the right
products but time will tell.
Take care…
@Kim It’s a good idea to put up a blog ~ you can use a free blog at blogger ~ because then you have a space you can use to link back to your lenses. Backlinks are critical to get to the first page of Google. Following the Blueprint you shouldn’t need many backlinks ~ but you will need some.
@Marsha Awesome!! Way to go. Just keep trying different things, some will work, and some won’t, but you only know which ones work by trying different things. Just check the search volume and the competition. If you have no search volume, even if you get to #1 in Google no one will be coming to visit. The competition needs to be fairly low so you can actually make it to the top to get the traffic. Keep it up!! 30 is a great start!

Jackie – made my first Christmas lens (hopefully it will be “evergreen” even after Christmas with a few tweaks). I’ve challenged myself to spend 1 hour/day to see how much I can get done. I’ve found Squidoo easy to use, although I’ve been too much of a perfectionist in the past – but I’ve let all that go for the sake of speed (and more sales!). I’m looking forward to see how the rest of your readers do – if they make this a real goal for themselves.
All right Jerri~~ congrats. Don’t forget you can use the comments you make here for backlinks to your lenses by putting your kw in the name field and then your url in the url field of the comment area. Backlinks are what will get you traffic so make sure you’re getting some!!
Good job getting your first lens done ~ that’s a HUGE accomplishment. It gets easier as time goes on!!

I just finished my first lens! Please give it a looksee and tell me what you think.
It took me forever because I don’t know CSS, and putting several elements together (alignment, color, clickable image, affiliate link, etc.) took a lot of trial and error. And while I love my Macbook, its tiny screen makes juggling windows a bit of a chore.
Thanks again for your great ebook. This is such a terrific idea. : )

Hi Everlie,
Congrats on finishing your first lens! Way to take action. It really will get easier every one you do. The first one is definitely the toughest, good job for following through.
Unfortunately I simply can’t take a look at everyone’s lenses. I don’t have enough time in the day lol. However, if you’d like me to do a review of your lens to let you know if you’re on the right track, what you can do better, and what’ s just right I can do a lens review for you.

Hi Jackie
Need help!
Can’t access the Christmas Cash Blueprint.
Thanks
Betty
Hi Jakie,
I want to baclink my lens by submitting an article in Enzine articles and other article directories, but I just wanted to ask how do I get online editor, FCK do you have the link to that. I have read about it somewhere and I cannot remember where. With FCK you can highlight, make links live and so many other things.
It will help you sort your your article beforeyou post it to Enzine Articles. I found it online but somehow it won’t work.
Finally I want to thank you again for helping me start.
The other thing is I would like you to review my lens after I have paid.
I have never heard of that, so I can’t tell you where to find it. I just do my lenses in a text document ~ like notepad ~ so you don’t transfer the background code you can get from word. Then I add the bold and all that stuff using the editor in eza. Just write the articles ~ don’t spend time beautifying them ~ they are pretty much just for links ~ Your time is better spent doing MORE articles than spending a ton of time making 1 look fantastic.

Hi Jackie, I just wanted to thank you for your awesome advice!!! I received your blueprint information from PotPieGirl and was immediately motivated to create some Christmas lenses. I sat down and built 4 lenses right away!! I’m really new at Squidoo and your advice gave me a whole new perspective!! I’m very excited to see how these lenses will do.
Thanks again,
Kikij
To Whome This May Concern,
I have followed the Christmas Cash e-book downloaded form Pot Pie Girl to a tee. I have spent almost the whole day looking up products to promote from amazon. After plugging the items exact keyword into the google keyword tool (just as asked ad the ebook says) I get some monthly search volumes from 300-1000 but when I plug the exact keyword item into google my seo tool gives me the page rankings
and amazon is usually the the page ranking 3 or higher. The e-book specifically outlines that if another sites page ranking is 3 or less than I will be fine to build a lens around that product (I believe there was one other site that ranked 3rd but the average monthly search volume was only 110.), But wouldn’t I be competing with amazon if I put up a lens around this item? In that case the buyer can just go to amazon themselves and buy the item.
Could someone really tell me whats going on?
Hi Odie,
Actually ~ it discusses an AVERAGE page rank of the FIRST PAGE results of 3 or less. Not any one specific site.
This has been answered quite a few times but the page rank of an Amazon page is not a concern. The site gets its page rank based on the authority of the site in general, not because of the links pointing to that specific page and can easily be outranked with link building. Then you will rank above the amazon listing.
If you take some time to read through the “doing your research” category here you will find that you may not be able to use the EXACT product name as a keyword because it won’t have enough search volume ~ you may need to change it around a little bit to get something that will work. You want to find product based keywords with at LEAST 1000 searches a month.
Take a deep breath, and do a little more reading here ~ you’ll find there are many tutorials outlining and answering your questions. If you have specific questions after reading the tutorials feel free to ask them in the comments on the tutorial.
Follow me @momtohanna on Twitter!
also I have tried to open a affiliate account with amazon. It will not let me because I do not have a website.
Do you know why? another thing, will you be doing the one-on-one coaching or will this be something done by Pot Pie girl?
You need to have a website of some sort ~ a blog at blogger will work just fine ~ check out my post from today on how to do that.
I don’t think PPG does coaching. I do: http://www.SquidooChristmasCash.com there’s a number of different packages so hopefully one will work well for you.
Follow me @momtohanna on Twitter!
Hi Odie,
Not sure what all you are doing with PPG ~ but understand the Squidoo Christmas Cash blueprint is very different than One week marketing. Both work, they’re just different. PPG wrote OWM and I wrote the Christmas cash blueprint ~ so although she told you about it you should ask me questions related to the blueprint.
Follow me @momtohanna on Twitter!
Ok,
know right off the bat then I know that I am going to have a problem with what keywords to use then. I am trying to follow the Christmas Cash ebook. All day I only have found one product that has 1000 or more related searches. So, am I just susposed to make up something from (for example product) Bose Lifestyle 18 DVD Home Entertainment System 110 and place that in the lense. So anyway I need to have a product before I sign up with amazon anyway so I can make a blog around that. As far as the coaching is concerned I cannot afford the $497 package. I can however afford the $97 package. But then I would have to buy the seperate package for you to review my lense correct.
As quickly as your answers have come I find it difficult to think you’ve gone and read any of the posts I recommended you read that might clear up some of your confusion.
No you are not supposed to just make something up. You need to do the research ~ which is digging around to find the keywords that will work for the product. Once you read some of the do your research and squidoo lens tutorial posts (find the category in the sidebar) you may find you need to dig a little deeper than a Bose product ~ which I’m sure is very competitive.
If you would like some 1 on 1 coaching I can help you with anything you want (related to Squidoo and supporting your lenses). We can go through creating a whole lens, we can do keyword research, answer questions whatever you need we can do. Depending on your questions and the time you get it will depend if you need to get a lens review as well. At $97 you can ask me questions all week ~ they can be questions about how your lens is going.
I suggest you go and read through the squidoo lens tutorials (and the comments on each post) ~ and then start asking specific questions in the comment section of a post that is relevant to your question. See if that can get you moving in the right direction and where you can take action.
Also there is a search box in the sidebar ~ it will help you find answers to questions you have. Just put a few words related to your question and it will pull up posts that might answer it.

My problem is not the squidoo lens itself. In fact I already started one called 6 ways to become a chocolate candy making artist. I haven’t researched any keywords. That’s just what I called it . I got the ideal form bum marketing based on the books for dummies. They have a book on candy making for dummies. I just used a chapter on chocolate making artistry. In fact I do not know if that was the correct keyword phrase to use. I know that i need to do keyword research but when you have a product in mind, what is the basis for formulating the long tail keywords you are going to use. What do you say for your headline. I know it has to have a combination of whatever the original keywords were, but how do you put it together what you are going to say in you headline or something
Ok ~ Here’s the deal.

Hello again Mrs. Jackie,
I reviewed the links that you game me (i don’t mean to be a pest) and I admit that at first I did not find the one that you did keyword research on using the nightmare before christmas example on your blog. But it I do understand how you are doing this, but for some reason I cannot find anything through the keywords and through amazon to promote for christmas.
The point is NOT to find CHRISTMAS related products ~ it’s to find ANY product that someone might give as a gift for Christmas. Here’s the example lens I did. Ironman Gravity 4000 Inversion table
Follow me @momtohanna on Twitter!
The cool thing about these lenses is they are product based and will continue to make money for you throughout the year ~ the Christmas part is just the fact people have a deadline to buy ~ which creates many extra sales, but choosing a specific product gives you the ability to make sales throughout the year.

Hey, Jakie!
I just downloaded your e-book and I thought it was brilliant!
I had been researching for possible items, and found one already. But one thing scares me a little (OK, a lot) and that is ranking in high in Google. Can you post a few tips you employ in ranking high in search engines? Thank you.
Roth
Oh, BTW, I am not a mom, and it will not be possible, because I am a guy. But I do think your blog will apply to everyone.
Hey Roth,
Hmmm… It seems the people who are coming around in the last few days seem to think they have to pick CHRISTMAS RELATED products ~ that’s not the case at all. You can choose ANY product ~ people give all kinds of gifts for the holidays. This way it will keep working for you all year round. But anyway, that wasn’t your question.
If you’ve done your research well and found a keyword with good search volume and low competition getting to the top of Google really shouldn’t be much of a problem. Make sure you check out the “doing your research” category in the sidebar. Once you’ve done that and you know you have a “good” keyword. Make sure you check out the Everything you ever wanted to know about backlinking post. When it comes to ranking well in Google it’s ALL about links.
You also want to make sure you grab the mindmap I created for this whole process. It’s one page and really helps to keep you on track.
Otherwise ~ read the squidoo lens tutorial category and feel free to ask as many questions as you have ~ just try to keep them on related posts so they will help everyone that comes after you too.
oh and hey ~ guys are welcome too. This site was created in 07 ~ my internet marketing skills were not quite what they are today back then ~ who knew?

Hi, I’ve been working on the Christmas Blueprint and I’m having a blast! I’m getting faster with practice. No sales yet, but I just started yesterday, and I don’t have a blog. That’s something else I intend to work on this week. Thanks for the blueprint!
Nancy
I found this a bit after Christmas and I did incorporate some of what you taught in my last lens. I did this one specifically to help promote my ebook which is why it’s not strictly a product lens. The next lenses I do will follow the blueprint. I really enjoyed reading it as it gave me another angle to look at when doing squidoo lenses.

Great DeAnna, yeah it’s just one more thing in the money making arsenal. Let me know how it works for you!

Wow, Jackie. I admire you.
Please tell me how I can put a poll into my lens, a poll which allows for more than just one question.
Lis
Follow me @rollingluggage on Twitter!
Hi Lis,
Not sure if you can. The poll module only allows for one question with multiple answers. You might check at a free poll site like survey monkey ~ but not sure you could put the code in (if it would work with Squidoo) you could link to the survey at surveymonkey.com FROM your lens? That’s what I’d look into doing.
