The main highlight of this website is that it has free registration and referral commission.
Squidoo is basically an old-tailored corporation, with investors and real employees. We're not legally established as a co-op; we mean that we've structured the organization so that we're in a ventured partnership with our lensmasters. It's a co-op in the sense that the more you put in, the more you receive. All lensmasters with traffic get a pro-rated share in the profit that we get from these Google AdSense ads that run on every page, for example. Moreover, a rotating slate of lensmasters will be invited to participate in the judge panel that chooses the charities that get the money from our charity pool.
Refer an acquaintance to be a Squidoo lensmaster. When your known's lens earns his initial $20, you as well as your acquaintance will each earn $6, free! Just fill out the form given on the site. Every lens usually contains Google AdSense ads. Those are used to create royalties for the whole co-op (i.e., everyone gets a cut). If you wish to add up your direct royalties, though, you should think of adding commercial modules that the visitors to your lenses will appreciate. Their top moneymaker modules include: Amazon, eBay, Café Press, and The Superstore. Every individual one of these specific modules creates directly attributable revenues for your lens, and we pay a handsome royalty to you or to your selected charity that is based on that revenue. Construct great lenses, feature good stuff, share your lenses as much as possible, and make more royalties.
Making Money Online
we are always crazy about earning money online since teenage years. But in early years, we always signed up for scam sites like cash _hits and net buxx. That was a worse waste of time! Squidoo is the world's most popular site for people who wish to build a page about their passions. Blogs, Highlight books, vids, online shops, or just spread the word about stuff you adore. Bonus: you raise money (for you or charity) at the same time! It's fast, free, and super easy.

Am I Cheating? Fidelity and Online Dating
Online dating is one of the fastest growing industries in the UK today. Every day, hundreds of thousands of us log on to one or more of the growing number of sites available; some looking for serious relationships, others for friendship and companions, and still others for casual flings and that extra 'bit on the side'.
Some sites claim to be purely for genuine singles seeking committed, long term relationships, others turn a blind eye to, or even actively encourage, married or cohabiting members who may or may not use the sites with the blessing of their spouse or partner. Of course many people who use online dating sites do so purely for chatting and exchanging messages and never meet face to face; with the steady growth of the Internet as a communication tool since it's inception, it has become increasingly possible for netizens to conduct deeply involved, real time relationships with people they have never actually met.
So what does this change with regard to the old ways of doing things? When does an online relationship become 'intimate'? Can you fall in love with an avatar, and can you cheat on someone, or with someone, who is in a different time zone?
A recent study by Dr Martin Graff of the University of Glamorgan showed that our perceptions of what does and does not constitute 'cheating' online are affected by a variety of factors – most prominently, and perhaps unsurprisingly, by the level of information dating site users are prepared to disclose about themselves; Dr Graff explains
"From this study, it seems that the greater the level of typed disclosure, then the stronger the perception of infidelity."
Seemingly, in the absence of the 'nonverbal cues' on which face to face interaction relies so strongly, how much we are prepared to give away about ourselves is the primary indicator of how intimate our online relationships are and by extension, the degree of unfaithfulness inherent in the actions of non single site users.
Perhaps more surprisingly, the study also showed that the time of day at which online encounters took place was also a key factor in establishing infidelity, concluding that
"Exchanges later in the evening were perceived to be more infidelitous, than those which might take place in the day or early evening."
Dr Graff's study is ongoing and subsequent phases will look at the issues of jealousy and trust in the0020context of online relationships.
Ultimately the jury is still out on exactly what constitutes online infidelity and indeed relationships over the net as a whole. It is doubtful that a firm conclusion will ever be reached as the world of online dating and relationships, as in 'real life', will always be immensely subjective due to the differing moral standards and emotional responses of the individuals involved. Studies like Dr Graff's can however provide a fascinating insight into the human causes and effects of the modern world, and how these are shaped by the direction of our rapidly developing and changing communications technology.

Picmoney is the final destination for your online income generation
The ideal world of affiliate marketing does not require having your won website, dealing with customers, refunds, product development and maintenance. This is one of the easiest ways of launching into an online business and earning more profits.
Assuming you are already into an affiliate program, what would be the next thing you would want to do? Double, or even triple, your commissions, right? How do you do that?
Here are some powerful tips on how to boost your affiliate program commissions overnight.
1. Know the best program and products to promote. Obviously, you would want to promote a program that will enable you to achieve the greatest profits in the shortest possible time.
There are several factors to consider in selecting such a program. Choose the ones that have a generous commission structure. Have products that fit in with your target audience. And that has a solid track record of paying their affiliate easily and on time. If you cannot seem to increase your investments, dump that program and keep looking for better ones.
There are thousands of affiliate programs online which gives you the reason to be picky. You may want to select the best to avoid losing your advertising dollars.
Write free reports or short ebooks to distribute from your site. There is a great possibility that you are competing with other affiliates that are promoting the same program. If you start writing short report related to the product you are promoting, you will be able to distinguish yourself from the other affiliates.
In the reports, provide some valuable information for free. If possible, add some recommendations about the products. With ebooks, you get credibility. Customers will see that in you and they will be enticed to try out what you are offering.
2. Collect and save the email addresses of those who download your free ebooks. It is a known fact that people do not make a purchase on the first solicitation. You may want to send out your message more than six times to make a sale.
This is the simple reason why you should collect the contact information of those who downloaded your reports and ebooks. You can make follow-ups on these contacts to remind them to make a purchase from you.
Get the contact information of a prospect before sending them to the vendor's website. Keep in mind that you are providing free advertisement for the product owners. You get paid only when you make a sale. If you send prospects directly to the vendors, chances are they would be lost to you forever.
But when you get their names, you can always send other marketing messages to them to be able to earn an ongoing commission instead of a one-time sale only.
Publish an online newsletter or Ezine. It is always best to recommend a product to someone you know than to sell to a stranger. This is the purpose behind publishing your own newsletter. This also allows you to develop a relationship based on trust with your subscribers.
This strategy is a delicate balance between providing useful information with a sales pitch. If you continue to write informative editorials you will be able to build a sense of reciprocity in your readers that may lead them to support you by buying your products.
3. Ask for higher than normal commission from merchants. If you are already successful with a particular promotion, you should try and approach the merchant and negotiate a percentage commission for your sales.
If the merchant is smart, he or she will likely grant your request rather than lose a valuable asset in you. Keep in mind that you are a zero-risk investment to your merchant; so do not be shy about requesting for addition in your commissions. Just try to be reasonable about it.
Write strong pay Per Click ads. PPC search engine is the most effective means of advertising online. As an affiliate, you can make a small income just by managing PPC campaigns such as Google AdWords and Overture. Then you should try and monitor them to see which ads are more effective and which ones to dispose of.
Try out these strategies and see the difference it can make to your commission checks in the shortest of time.

Internet Productivity--Lofty Goal or Oxymoron?
When you work for yourself and do business on the internet you have to be a great strategic leader and a skilled tactician; even under the best of circumstances, it's hard to be both.
In the corporate world, goals and milestones are the absolute measure of productivity and success. But when you work for yourself there's no objective-other than to hold you to your goals and keep you on track. Add to that the untamed complexities of doing business online and suddenly setting and achieving goals takes on the magnitude of climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro.
Despite its promise of efficiency, the web has for many home-based and small business owners become a seductive quagmire of distracted action, chaotic click-thrus and paralyzed productivity.
It's natural to look to others for advice and information on how to navigate the landscape, but in the process, you often get distracted, take detours, follow the road that leads to nowhere, and before you know it you've lost sight of your ultimate goals.
What does it take to get where you're going
No one knows for sure "where" success lies in wait for you. But we do know the road is often longer than the Nile, more twisted than San Francisco's Lombard Street and only partially paved to boot. Factor in the occasional mud-slide or wash-out that's bound to crop up along the way and the battle to overcome loss of focus and lack of direction soon becomes a way of doing business.
As the commander-in-chief and your most loyal employee, you have to be able to flip your view between the big picture and all the personal and professional micro-tasks that have to get done in order for you to realize your goals.
You can try grabbing a map and some tips from those who've made it and come back to share their success secrets. But separating myth from money-making often takes as much time as blazing your own trail. Not to mention, one person's treasure map quickly becomes a roadmap to mediocrity depending on how many people are all trying to play and win at the same game in the same space online. Golden nuggets gleaned from your success mentors need to be adapted for your journey and your circumstances.
Without knowing how long your journey is going to be, it's important to establish milestones that stretch you beyond your comfort zone, but are still attainable with the resources you have at hand. Short-term wins create wind-at-your-back-momentum to keep you pushing forward instead of crumbling in a heap of disillusionment or even disgust.
Before you get on your way you also want to take stock of what you've got. Now's the time to be brutally honest with yourself about what you're good at, what you love doing, and what you'd give up in a quick click if you thought you could afford to never do it yourself again.
Every hour you invest trying to accomplish non-core tasks or working in areas where your skills are weak has an exponentially negative effect on your results. Not only are you depleting your precious resources, you're unlikely to see a return on your efforts that provides sufficient reward and motivation to keep you moving forward.
What you need is a system that's structured enough to keep you on course, fluid enough to alternate your view between the big picture and the micro-tasks at a moment's notice, and flexible enough to adapt to the unforeseen and the unexpected as, and when, they inevitably arise.
Using an e-business Goal and Productivity System (GPS) can help you:
* Establish realistic goals and immediately set a course for action from right where you are.
* Balance your business and personal values and desires when defining your goals.
* Hone in on your own strengths and pass off as much of the other stuff to those whose strengths better match the task at hand.
* Provide direct access to quality knowledge, resources and tools that can help you prioritize and achieve your goals.
* Know where and how to multi-task, undertaking several projects simultaneously to gain leverage and when to focus exclusively one project at a time.
Rarely is there ever just one right answer to the challenges you face in your e-business or only one path to your desired goals. You don't want to become so mired in the task or problem at hand that you lose your way or your will to continue on the path to your success.
Using a GPS can help you quickly view and investigate all aspects of running a successful e-business and fluidly guide you from "know-how" to "take-action" and ultimately to your goal.
