- Disember 2008 = $198.32
- Januari 2009 = $167.31
2.) eBay
- Line TMnet streamyx (110 bulanan) dan;
- BenQ JoyBook Lite UIOIW
Dengan adanya tambahan aset yang baru nie, so tak perlulah kami berebut komputer pada waktu malam. Sorang boleh buat eBay, sorang lagi boleh update blog dan Squidoo! Kos pembelian dan maintenance bulanan akan ditanggung sepenuhnya oleh income yang diperolehi dari eBay.
Pada 10 Mac 2009 aku telah bejaya memperolehi status Bronze PowerSeller (Alhamdulillah). Bertambahlah reputasi kami sebagai eBay Seller dan mampu menarik lebih ramai pembeli untuk masa akan datang. Korang bolehlah melawat kat website shahraduan.com, dia pun eBay seller gak.
4.) Apa jadi dengan Squidoo?
Bab Squidoo akan diteruskan ke bahagian Squidoo Expert... aku harap korang takde masalah dengan tahap Basic dan Advance!
Seperti biasa aku nak update kat korang semua berapa income Squidoo aku bulan nie. Dukacita dimaklumkan bahawa pedapatan dari Squidoo bg bulan November hanya $105.24 sahaja. Adusss..kecewa betul. Nampaknya aku telah gagal untuk maintain purata $150.00 sebulan dari Squidoo. Kalau korang tak percaya korang tgk screen shot kat bawah nie.
Aku rasa mesti ramai lensmaster yang dapat komisen kurang bulan nie...betul tak? Salah satu sebab mengapa Squidoo letak 'P.S' kat bawah tu, pastu letak link ke Payment FAQ diaorang. Adakah Squidoo menghadapi masalah kewangan nak bayar komisen ahli-ahli mereka? Harap-harap tak kot.
Ok. Kat bawah nie ialah cara-cara bagaimana Squidoo mengagihkan komisen dari iklan (adsense dll) kepada lensmaster.
PAYOUT, TIERS, AND LOTS MORE This is a long description about how money is
earned and paid out at Squidoo. I hope you'll take 4 minutes to read it.
As we've explained in painstaking detail in lots of places, we at Squidoo pay our community 50% of all our revenue. Yes, half! We give 5% to charity, take 45% for our own operating costs, and give 50% to our lensmasters as a royalty for their good content.
You, the lensmaster, could earn royalties two ways: 1) through moneymaker modules (like eBay, Amazon and CafePress) and 2) through Google ads and other display ads that run on your lenses. The moneymaker modules are the easiest to track: whatever sale you make, we give you 50% of our referral bounty from that affiliate. You don't share it with any other lensmasters; it's all yours. That's called a "directly attributable" royalty.
So how do we pay the second part, the community's half of our Google and display ads? As you know, we put 50% of our earnings from those ads straight into a bucket just for lensmasters. We pool that money in order to prevent click fraud -- this is a pretty common solution.
Then, we divide that pooled ad money based on the "goodness of your lenses" -- which in our economy means LensRank. The earning number that we calculate according to your LensRank is called PayRank, or, as lensmasters have popularly started to call it: the "tier system."
The first thing to know about tiers is that not all lenses are created equal. We work in a meritocracy, where lenses earn royalties based on how well they perform. We believe in paying our best people, who make the best lenses, more.
The second and perhaps most important thing to know about tiers is that they can change at any time. The percentages are constantly changing based on how many lenses there are on Squidoo and how much money is in the ad pool each month. So while reading the tea leaves and trying to predict your ad pool share can be fun, all you're really doing is guessing.
The third thing to remember about tiers is that they only affect your cut of the ad pool. Whatever you earn via moneymakers on your lenses, like Amazon or eBay modules, you always get a straight 50% cut.
For even more specifics, here's how tiers work: Lenses with higher average lensrank for the month get a higher percentage of the ad pool than other lenses. Lenses that perform poorly in LensRank, after a certain threshold, get no percentage of the ad pool.
So for example, if your lens is has an average LensRank of #100 for the month, that's really good! (Important to remember that we count the average, not just the LensRank of the lens on payday). That lens would be in Tier #1, and would get the highest percentage of the ad pool possible.
Now imagine you had a lens that has performed well, but not as well in LensRank as in the scenario above. That lens would get a smaller percentage of the ad pool.
And if a lens has an average LensRank of #400,000, let's say, well, we're making the bet that lens needs some work and isn't that useful to readers on the web. It probably didn't get much traffic or contribute a whole lot of goodness to the whole Squidoo community (and didn't drive any ad clicks, either), so that lens gets 0% of the ad pool.
In an effort to illustrate this more clearly, here is the working data for the month of December 2008 on tiers. We reserve the right to change this at any point in the future, to recalibrate the tiers as the site grows. Our goal is to pay out best lensmasters, the most. As more lensmasters make better and better lenses, it might make sense to shift the tiers in the future. So please read this scale as an example only, and know that it can change from month to month.
On the December 2008 payday:
--Tier One: Lenses with an average LensRank of #1 to #2,000 get 25% of the ad pool.
--Tier Two: Lenses with an average LensRank of #2,001 to #10,000 get 17% of the ad pool.
--Tier Three: Lenses with an average LensRank of #10,001 to #85,000 get 8% of the ad pool
--Last Tier (the Zero Tier): Lenses with an average LensRank more than #85,000 get 0% of the ad pool. (But are, of course, still eligible to get 50% of any directly attributable sales they make. Just not a cut of the community ad pool).
So that's it. No hidden tricks.
The point, the whole point, is this: Make good content. Make useful pages that help people learn or interact or connect or buy. The better your page does, the higher a royalty you earn from it.
P.S. If you're only going to read a little, read this:
There is absolutely no value to you in trying to figure out details of next month's tiers, or to guess or to count on how this money is allocated. We say that not in order to obscure data, but to save you time. Lensrank and Payrank changes all the time. One thing you can be certain of is that while it can seem a little random, it's always as fair as we can make it. We always pay out 50% (which is more than we promised, because while we have the right to apply this money to overhead, we never have) and we never make side deals or special payments. That way, you can spend your time and energy building and promoting great lenses instead of worrying about the system. To be fair to everyone, the Squidoo team won't engage in any special correspondence about the tier payouts... we'll post updates here from time to time, but that's it.
Untuk menghilangkan duka lara di hati, baik layan video lawak ni dulu
I’ve spent a lot of time in the past talking about how Lensrank,
while a potentially nice boost, shouldn’t be a cornerstone of your money making
plan. A stepping stone? Yes, definitely. Who doesn’t love a few extra bucks coming in every month? In fact, it’s possible to make several hundred bucks a month this way.
Why is it not worth worrying about using lensrank to earn money? Because the amount you will earn tops out pretty quickly. Getting a lens in the top 10,000 or 15,000 lenses is HARD.
The top payout tiers are competitive. In fact, I would venture to say that I’m not sure I’ve ever seen something where people spend so much time trying to make an extra two dollars. There are a lot of people out there that try to ‘game’ lensrank with rating swaps or traffic swaps or exchanges or multiple accounts or whatever. I’m not really surprised that people try to game or optimize their rankings. What just shocks me is the amount of time people are willing to put into it.Think about it. It’s easy for a small item sale from amazon or eBay to add up to more than an entire month’s of effort on gaming lensrank ($2). Conversely, if you are really worried about lensrank or people trying to ‘game’ it. I wouldn’t be.
Be grateful that they are wasting their time doing incredibly unproductive things.
If you run across one, report them. No need to crow it to the rooftops or go on witch hunts across the interwebs trying to find pepole who are gaming a ranking mechanism on a medium size website…Instead of responding to them or worrying about them, go
build your next lens that’s going to make some real money.
Susunan Squidoo lens ikut ranking
Salam kengkawan,
Insya'allah, bulan depan akan lebih muai nampaknya..impak maksima dari krismas. Lens rank aku pun, mencanak-canak naik...visitor pun mencurah-curah. Alhamdulillah! Harap-harap, keadaan ini akan berterusan sehingga bila-bila ^_^. Oklah, aku pun dah lama tak post skill-skill terbaru kan?! Takpelah, lepas ni aku akan perah otak jap, pikir apa aku nak taip utk skill tu nanti...
Income meningkat dengan mendadak pada bulan Disember 07 kerana sambutan Krismas, pastu pada bulan Februari kerana sambutan Valentine Day. Banyak lagi event-event yang aku tak take advantage sebagai contoh: Halloween, Boxing Day , cuti musim panas dan musim naik sekolah dan universiti kat USA. Besar kemungkinan tahun depan aku akan cuba memanfaatkan diaorang nie punyer cuti-cuti umum.
Kat USA ada 4 musim, so kita boleh fokus jual pakaian untuk musim sejuk, musim panas dan musim yg lain. Buat satu lens untuk fokus satu trend fesyen terkini ke, seluar jeans ke...macam-macam lah.
Ok kita sambung lain kali...semoga korang semua success hendaknya. Amin
p/s: kalau korang tanya duit $1,936.64 tu mana...aku pun tak tau. Dah habis aku withdraw buat beli lauk-pauk. ^_^ Tapi benda yg aku beli ngan duit Squidoo dan ada lagi sampai sekarang ialah sebijik komputer (desktop) ngan USB Modem (Celcom BlueCube)
Jika kamu sudah mempunyai akaun squidoo kamu sendiri, kamu akan dpt melihat gambar diatas di bahagian bawah Dashboard kamu. Sebenarnya, kebanyakan penggiat squidoo gemar membuat lens yang berbentuk landing page atau squeeze page.
Squeeze page adalah lens yang kamu buat khusus untuk menjual barang atau perkhidmatan seperti sewa DVD. Squeeze page adalah lens yang agak mudah untuk dibuat kerana kamu boleh memilih untuk tidak perlu mengarang apa-apa kecuali sedikit welcoming statement untuk 'Introduction' lens kamu. Selebihnya, cuma pilih module-module yang telah tersedia ada. Seperti contoh module Amazon atau eBay. Seperti salah satu contoh di sini. Untuk squeeze page lens ini, kamu juga boleh memilih untuk tidak membuat blog. Ia juga dikenali sebagai 1-way-link page.
Tetapi, untuk landing page pula, kamu perlu untuk ada blog kerana squidoo hanyalah tempat untuk kamu review apa sahaja produk yang kamu jual atau perkhidmatan yang kamu sediakan di blog kamu. ini lebih dikenali sebagai 2-way-link-page atau boleh juga dikenali sebagai 3-way-link page, jika kamu mempunyai satu lagi affiliate link di blog kamu. Cara ini amat berkesan untuk mempromote blog kamu kerana squidoo tersangatlah SEO friendly. Tag yang kamu letak perlu bersesuaian, sila ikuti tips utk tag di sini.
Salam untuk pembaca semua, Payday Squidoo kembali lagi! Kali ini lebih meriah kerana ada bonus menanti semua Squidooers sedunia. Menurut SquidBlog, bonus yang dibayar adalah upfront payment untuk refer-a-friend bonus dan juga bayaran tertunggak ebay referral fees.
Salam semua, hari ni Mrs. zgreat yang akan menambah post di zgreat.blogspot.com kerana mr. zgreat dilanda kesibukan yang maha hebat. almaklumlah! ramadhan.
So, setelah ditukar kepada versi ringgit,komisyen Squidoo adalah lebih kurang RM 583.xx. Dan setelah ditolak sebanyak RM 16.00 sebagai transaction fee dari Paypal ke Al-rajhi, jumlah terkumpul adalah lebih kurang RM 583 - RM 16.00 = RM 567
Income bulan Jun merosot sebanyak $95.28 (lebih kurang RM 304) berbanding dengan income yang lepas. Hampir separuh kurang. Hmmm.. Walau apa pun syukur, rezeki sentiasa ada untuk mereka-mereka yang berusaha!
Kepada rakan-rakan lensmaster dari Malaysia saya ucapkan tahniah jika dah start generate income dari squidoo, dan jangan lupa teruskan usaha anda dari hari ke sehari. Kalau boleh kita buat satu hari satu lens baru. Pendapatan dari squidoo nie ibarat snowball (meningkat dari semasa ke semasa) atau home-run (buat jer lens terus dapat income) bergantung kepada jenis produk yang anda promote. Yang penting jangan putus asa!
Pendapatan bulan nie adalah hasil dari jumlah keseluruhan 35 squidoo lens. Nilai purata lebih kurang $5.00 setiap satu lens. Pendapatan tertinggi saya dapat ialah dari lens LG EnV, iaitu sebanyak $ 36.98.
Ada di antara lens yang memang tiada sales langsung, tapi squidoo bayar $0.07 Kalau ada 1000 lens, dah dapat $70.00! Kalau macam tu dah boleh start buat satu hari 4 lens baru nie....hehehe
Salam sejahtera,
Hari ini tibalah masa yang ditunggu-tunggu oleh semua Squidoo Lensmaster. PayDay! PayDay!
"Syukur Alhamdulillah, sungguh tak ku sangka pendapatan bagi bulan March mencecah $100 dollar!"
Seperti yg saya maklumkan pada post yg lepas bahwa bulan March bukan bulan berbelanja. Komisen jualan pun tak sampai $50.00
Mungkin komisen dari Adsense Squidoo, terutama dari lens LG-EnV yang menunjukkan prestasi yg agak memberangsangkan. Top 30 dalam kategori Computer, Gadget & Tech bagi tempoh yang agak lama. (Januari sehingga sekarang..)
FYI komisen Adsense tidak akan ditunjukkan di dalam royalties. Begitu juga dengan komisen dari jualan produk-produk ebay (no information, tau-tau jer sale meningkat). Kita cuma dapat melihat komisen details jualan produk Amazon. (tarikh dan nama produk yg dijual).
Dari email pembayaran yg diterima, ada dinyatakan satu tip yg berguna bagi setiap lensmaster...
"Buat blog dan link kan kepada lens anda".
Satu cara yg menarik untuk mempromosikan lens anda untuk dapat komisen dari Squidoo + Income Adsense dari Blog anda! serampang 2 mata!
Sebenarnya, teknik yang nie dah lama dipraktikkan oleh seorang penggiat Squidoo Tanahair - JohnJenin! Memang POWER! Jika berpeluang bertemu JohnJenin memang panjang ceritanya. Sentiasa ada skil-skil baru yg dia nak buat...yg penting duit masuk beb!
Sekarang nie pun dah ramai rakyat Malaysia yg join Squidoo. Paling ramai yg jual affiliate produk spt ebook, credit card, insuran dan macam-macam lagi. Nak lihat lebih ramai penggiat Squidoo Malaysia? Klik di sini dan lihat sendiri.
News terbaru dari Squidoo Blog....
Sounds like a reality show?
It’s not. (Hey Trumpy, wanna talk?)
I heard some pretty cool news recently from superlensmaster Loyalis, the self-styled Captain Squid.
He made $1,000 from just one Squidoo lens in one month.
No, it didn’t happen overnight.No, you can’t get there by shortcutting or cheating or spamming.No, piling on the affiliate links willynilly isn’t the solution. (Yes, I just wanted to say willynilly).
But…
YES! Clearly Squidoo is turning into a solid paying gig for people.Yes, that’s cool because it’s totally free.Yes, if you make great niche content pages, you’ve got a huge headstart.Yes, once you’ve got a suite of worthwhile lenses up, they’ll just keep earning you royalties, little by little, month by month.Yes, working through the dip pays off.
Yes, our community is even earning tens of thousands of dollars a month for charity.
Yes, we’re at a tipping point, guys.
Oh, and the best part. Yes, you can do it too.
Sekarang kita baca pulak post yg ditulis sendiri oleh Loyalis atau Captain Squid.
"For the first time today, one of my lenses has made me over $1,000 in a month. Not all of my lenses, one. This is a huge milestone for me and I’m super duper excited about it!
It’s taken me almost a year of steady lensbuilding ( 11 months to the day to be exact ) to get to this point and I have to say, things are looking like they are only going to snowball from here. Last month I began to have my first few $100 days from just revenue generated from squidoo. This was hugely exciting and began to show what really happens once you reach that ‘critical mass’ of lenses.
Now I’ve earned $1,000 in a 30 day period from a single lens. That is also very very cool.
Will the earnings from this lens carry on forever? I doubt it.
Will I be able to use the lessons I’ve learned from this lens and the nearly 400 others I’ve built to continue to build lenses that make money? You betcha.
The best advice I have? Learn, Innovate, and be stubborn. Keep working at your ‘Squidoo skills’ and it will pay off for you.
Of course, I created a lens about my $1,000 / month Squidoo lens and what it took to get there that tells a little bit of the story if you would like to check it out.
What’s my next goal? Earning $1,000 a day with squidoo."
Mesti kita tertanya-tanya lens yg manakah yang berjaya memberi pulangan sebanyak $1000 itu? Mari kita siasat. Salah satu cara untuk melihat lens yg power bg seseorang lensmaster ialah dengan...http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/Loyalis
Bila kita klik link di atas, semua lens yg dibina oleh Loyalis akan dipaparkan mengikut overall ranking! Banyaknye lens dia....so mana satu lens yg $1000 sebulan tu? Ok, memandangkan Loyalis sebut bahawa beliau dapat $1000 melalui komisen squidoo - maknanya, Loyalis menggunakan module-module seperti amazon, ebay, cafepress dan lain-lain money making module.
Pada pandangan saya, lens (yg dirahsiakan) $1000 itu ialah http://www.squidoo.com/demotivator (dengan ranking yg tinggi di Squidoo-tentulah lens tersebut juga berada front page search engine. more visitor, more income)
Saya harap, info yg dikongsikan kali ini dapat membakar semangat kita semua yg baru berjinak-jinak dengan Squidoo.
Syukur...income yang boleh tahan jugaklah hasil jual housing hanset nie.
article ini saya ambil dari Squidoo blog...
"Here’s the coolest thing I’ve seen today.
Famous Mortimer is making himself famous.
He’s a fan of our HeyMonkeyBrain project. But rather than just being a fan or contributor or follower, he’s turned the tables and has become a leader, the guy in charge.
Because he’s found something he likes interacting with, and is owning it. He’s put himself at the center of a conversation. He’s making his own bestseller lists. He gets that there’s a real business in hand cataloging and annotating the best stuff on the web. And he’s not doing it halfway; he’s not just aggregating and mashing up and calling it a day. Instead, his tactic is to find debates that make him think, then insert opinion supported by hysterical and thoughtful rants, and wind up creating something entirely original.
And because of that, guess what: he’s starting to get a following.
No, it’s not new. Reviewers and tastemakers and thoughtleaders have been around for ages. But it’s worth it to ask yourself: What are you a fan of? Why not be a leader, instead?
And then in short order the question will become: Who’s a fan of yours?"
sama-samalah kita praktik apa yang disarankan (sesuai untuk mereka yang suka bertekak..)
Komen dan panduan yang saya ambil dari Blog Team Squidoo untuk panduan kita bersama...
"We’re doing some 2007 accounting on this end today. You know, preparing for the taxman and all.
And wow are there a lot of lensmasters earning a lot of money on Squidoo. I mean, I see the numbers every month, but when you add it all up and see what people are earning for an entire year… it gets a lot more real. We’re not just talking $5 here and $10 there anymore. We’re talking hundreds of dollars a month, thousands of dollars a year.
What’s cool is the recipe for earning: lots of lenses + niche topics + personal recommendations and opinions. Quality and quantity, which is pretty hard to game or cheat.
This means that accounts with lots of junky lenses aren’t cashing out (and in most cases, are pretty invisible). This also means that lensmasters with only 3 or 4 lenses aren’t exactly rolling in dough either, though there are a few exceptions.
So who are the cash cows? The people with, say, 50 or so lenses (Giant Squids, anyone?) that each go deep on a single topic and share personal insights and opinions about it. Sound hard? The good news is that making lenses on Squidoo is an art, and once you learn it, you can scale it easily and quickly.Maybe it’s not such a crazy idea to set aside 20 minutes a day to update your existing lenses and make a few dozen new ones. The pages you make will start to pay off, month in and month out. For you or for charity. And let me tell you: it adds up.
What’s your next lens going to be about? Your cat, the book you’re reading, the movie you just saw, the people who inspire you? "
