Squidoo.com also uses modules to promote lens pages. Modules are nothing more than information boxes with content in them you add to your lens page. Typically you include modules after your introduction.

There are many customized modules you can add, including those offered by Amazon and eBay, promoting products listed on these pages. You can use one of these customized modules to promote your book or other products on Amazon or eBay for example.

Remember, your lens and your modules should be a subtle advertisement, not a walking classified ad. You want to keep the copy on your page relevant and valuable. Provide information your visitors may not find elsewhere, to entice them to click through to your sites and products.

Most people recommend you use between three to five modules containing relevant and hard-to-find information on your lens page. This will help improve your ranking and entice people to click through the links you put on your lens page.

Now, keep in mind you will not earn a lot of money from your modules alone. If for example, you select Adsense, Amazon and eBay modules as your primary source of income from Squidoo, you will probably make $100 extra dollars a month or around there. Where you make your real money is by increasing traffic to your WebPages and selling people on the products and services you offer or affiliate market there.

You can also use pre-made “write” modules on Squidoo.com that will allow you to link to your opt-in lists, a terrific way to help boost the amount of people you have signing up for your lists.

Another way to use a “write” module is to provide an intro to an articles page you may have on ezinearticles.com or another popular article-hosting directory. Once someone clicks through to your article, they will find your resource box to your webpage at the bottom of your article.
