The Amazon Fitness Lensbuilding Competition between Grayth (troy) and myself has begun as of Sunday and I’ve scored the first Sales with $1.24 currently pending on my dashboard from the 8 lenses I have entered in the competition.
For a blow by blow of traffic stats etc for the lenses in the competiton, official judge and [...]
In the spirit of the payday inspired post here’s a little teaser image of my earnings in my main squidoo account since inception:
Now, every month payday invariably brings about discussion of Lensrank, that magical formula that helps determine how much your lens makes in a month.
Today, lets focus on one aspect of lensrank that is [...]
Our First Sale hit in the Squidoo Quest! It took a little less than 4 weeks for our first sale to come through Amazon, and only with 3 lenses published (have another venture that I’m trying to get off the ground, it’s been a time suck.).
Almost $4.00 from one sale certainly isn’t too shabby.
If we [...]
Every week I’ll provide a brief update to my Squidoo Quest so we can track our progress together.
I’m in the process of creating some charts to summarize all of the statistics on an ongoing basis. Once this is live I’ll let everyone know so they can catch up on any weeks they missed.
Week 1:
Lenses created: [...]
Sweet Pirate Booty! I’ve been so busy the past few weeks that I just realized that i’ve celebrated my second anniversary on Squidoo during the past few weeks!
Some Fun Facts about my time on Squidoo:

I totally missed that Glen published an Interview with The Captain from last year on the Lensroll.com blog. I just re-read through it (we initially did the interview last year sometime) and it’s surprisingly still quite relevant to the way I continue to build lenses today.
Definitely worth a read. I had forgotten I’d written so [...]
As the year is drawing to a close, it’s important to remember that Dec. 31st is generally the last day you have to significantly impact your taxes for the year. One of the great things about making a few bucks online is that you have some options to reduce your tax bill through some smart [...]
Since our little piratey band has grown so much since January (like 800% !) I thought that it was appropriate to take a post and recap what you folks thought were the best posts of the past year as well as some of my personal favorites.

September was a pretty stinky month (relatively) for earnings from Squidoo. Of course, Hurricane Ike decidedly played a role in the drop off in money made from Squidoo. However, October is quickly turning into my best month ever by far.
In fact, I broke the $500 mark in one day for the first time yesterday!
I know [...]
Now that we’ve established that rating swaps for lensrank are not worth your time, let’s talk about why doing (almost) anything for earnings from lensrank aren’t really worth it either.
Let’s take a hypothetical situation. You are a new squidoo lensmaster. You want to turn squidoo into a major income stream of yours, earning $2,000 a [...]
