Disclaimer: It is important that all of you that are reading this review of Squidoo Cash Tsunami know that I didn’t receive any review copy of it nor am I in any way affiliated with the author Troy Nantais.
Note: My goal here is to provide a comprehensive review of the product that might serve you before you make a buying decision.
I have been a Squidoo Lensmaster for quite some time now and I build well over 100 lenses that bring quite nice passive income for me. Like many of you, internet marketers or simply those that are seeking for some additional pocket money, I struggled to get where I am today.
You will realize sooner or later that there are only two things (yes, only 2!) that can separate you from the 99% of the people that are not making any money in the internet. First and most important thing is – be active and persist! Internet marketing takes work – a lot of work. And it takes commitment. Whenever you will read about people telling you that you can make butt-load of money with no effort – run away. Seriously. They are just here for your hard earned money. Second thing that can separate you into that 1% is over complicating things. You can (Casey, me and even the author of this product I review are the living proof) succeed with keeping things clean and simple. Just persist in your efforts and you will be fine. Having said all that – if you stick to what I said, the reward will be much, much greater than anything you can make doing your 9-5 daily routine.
Many of the internet marketers today tend to avoid Squidoo, which is a big mistake in my opinion. The biggest reason why is that is that Squidoo is not your playground. They are changing rules almost in monthly basis and can shut down your Squidoo lenses in the blink of the eye and therefore your cash flow. Yes, you could build dozens of mini sites to promote Amazon products (and I even urge you to take that step later on), but that takes money. 10$ per domain if nothing else. Squidoo is free, well connected to Amazon and has great reputation in Google eyes. My advice is to build a lens about a certain topic and if proves successful you can always extent it on your own website and still have that Squidoo lens for a powerful backlink.
Look at me blabbering…back to the review! There are only few really great e-books about Squidoo and making money from it. In my opinion, Erica Stones e-books are still at the top, but Squidoo Cash Tsunami from Troy Nantais is not far from them (although many of the methods he uses are the same as Ericas). Troy is giving you an in-depth course in details how to earn income from Squidoo – everything you will ever need is in that e-book. And he earns 120$ per day doing so!
He will tell you how to pick hot selling winning products, how to do keyword research in a simple and effective way, how to create a lens and last but not least, how to promote it.
Troy’s methods can be easily done and you can repeat them over and over with great success. E-book comes packed in 40 pages plus in addition you get 8 guided tutorials in mp4 format. Guide is über-newbie-friendly and you will really enjoy his writing, humorous and entertaining, style! Tutorial is divided into 4 Phases – Picking Winning Products, Keyword Research, Build the Lens and Publish and Promote. Each and every phase gets straight to the point and provides you with the solution that you need to overcome any obstacles.
PROS:
- Great guide for absolute beginners at Squidoo that haven’t got their own style.
- Great guide at simplifying things.
- Chapter “How to pick a winning product” is probably the best thing in this tutorial.
CONS:
- It seems that quite some stuff he writes about is a repacked knowledge of what people like Erica Stone already wrote about.
- If you own a copy of “Squid Pro Quo” from Erica Stone, you don’t need this guide.
- If you have already your own style and you are at least semi-familiar with how keyword research goes and how to get traffic, then this guide is of no use to you.
- Doesn’t cover any Squidoo tools that you could use to make your lenses look better (html tools!).
- Chapter Squidoo SEO lacks in-depth knowledge.
Underline: although I mix my methods with Squidoo, I cannot say that Troy’s are worse or better (I simply have slightly different criteria for example for keyword research) – far from it. The best thing about his methods is that he simplifies them to the core and is really good at it (and so can you be!) I would recommend this guide to all beginners at Squidoo and promoting Amazon products. But overall I believe that you could learn more from Erica Stone e-books.
p.s. You can get Squidoo Cash Tsunami here for 17$.
