A while back, I created a Squidoo lens (lens is the Squidoo equivalent to a web page or a blog posting), outlining how to buy proper disaster preparedness evacuation supplies, and published it under the "how-to" classification. It was very detailed and informative, coming in at just under 3300 words (sans the fluff), and was targeted toward what I believe to be a niche market.
I left it up for nearly three months, and it yielded 54 views and $0 revenue. Before putting it together, I read through a series of Squidoo tips and FAQs on how to build a good lens, drive traffic, and increase Squidoo earnings. I also spent a solid five or six hours researching and writing the freakin' thing, so I was pretty pissed when my efforts didn't yield a single penny.
I've already given you my shpeel on eHow, but just to reiterate, it's one of the few online revenue generating vehicles that has given me near-instant results (which is why I'm hot right now that they still haven't fixed their image uploading issue). This evening, when I came home from work, I decided to tear down my disaster preparedness article from Squidoo, and post it to eHow under How to Create Your Disaster Preparedness Evacuation Kit.
The sucker is far longer than most eHow articles, which may count against me, but at this point, I don't have anything to lose. I'll be sure to let you know how the results compare.
