500 lenses

I hit my 500th published lens yesterday.
It’s been a huge pile of fun, a huge pile of work, and i’ve met people I never would have any other way.
18 months in I still feel like I’m just starting on my Squid Journey here. Every day I learn more and more, the curve never seems to go away.
I haven’t made my million yet but I’m hoping to get there by just jumping straight to 2 million first.

You’re an inspiration to all of us. Only 427 to catch you! Congratulations! What an accomplishment!

I can’t even fathom it at the moment. My current goal is 200 but I’m sure 500 is not to far away. Congratulations on the milestone.

Welcome to the Colossal Squid Club (500 lenses), you are member number 3, we need a few more. LOL
Great to have a member who is NOT from Vancouver Canada

I’m inching up to 200, I can’t even wrap my head around 500 yet! Quite a goal!!!

Congrats! I have about half that and have a hard time keeping everything maintained. You’ll have to write a post on how to keep that many lenses fresh and updated:) Or at least somewhat updated:(

I’m keeping on keeping on. I learn something new each day and am sure by the time I reach 500 I’ll be even older and more gray. I bow to your accomplishment.

Impressive! Personally I would be happy becoming a Squidoo hundred thousand-aire!

And I was feeling pretty good about nearing 50 … 500 feels unreachable, so I’ll focus on 60 then 70 … by the inch it’s a cinch. Kudos to you for such an accomplishment!

Congratulations! I have 490 to go. :/ Really, really, really feels unreachable. But, you are an inspiration! Wishing you many more milestones like this.

Newbie here. Last week my first lens was “Strapped for Cash? Make Money for Christmas Gifts. Why not sell your unused items for cash using the Consignment Pal Resale Shop Directory?”
I was shooting to reach Giant Squid status at 50 lens and now you’ve blown my goal out of the water by 450.
Congrats Captain!!

Best,

Congratulations Captain. It makes my 30 seem puny by comparison. Realizing that every single one of them starts with only a blank page and an idea makes me want to tap into your fount of inspiration. I agree with the person who said that they would like to hear how you manage them. I am finding it a challenge just keeping what I have fresh.
