Ever have a deer in the headlights moment?

I sat there staring at the loud glow of my computer screen after clicking on my Zazzle earnings. I couldn't believe that I had actually earned money without even being an artist. I couldn't sell my designs if someone paid me. And yes doing Zazzle to sell designs would have paid me if I were any good.

I first started out at Squidoo doing pages featuring Zazzle designs. I had seen a page where a woman had featured alot of them and they looked great on her page. I thought I could do that. Turns out I can. I didn't expect to really make any money doing it since I had no clue what SEO was or how to really make money doing this. Want to see an example or 3 of what I'm talking about? Then keep reading. I'll list them below.

I am seriously into vampires and I wanted something that I could have fun doing. So I made a lens about Vampire Keds. Sounds weird right? Well Zazzle lets the artists create designs that fit on Keds shoes. How cool is that? So I searched through the designs and picked out quite a bit that I liked and created a lens about them.

Another lens I did was Unique Recipe Binders. I was getting the hang of the Zazzle and Squidoo lenses. I had learned to separate them as I got the links ready. This saved me a lot time and hassle. You can't believe how much time I had lost before this.

There is more, but you get the point. I have finally made money from Squidoo. It was a small goal that will eventually lead to bigger ones.
