Wow, it’s payday time again already!
February was a really good month for me, especially the last two weeks. Starting off with Mardi Gras and Valentines Day, my sales were very flat for the first 15 days or so of the month. After that, they really started to take off.
Here’s the recap:
Squidoo Payout ($$ Earned in Jan. and Paid in March):$204.00
CJ (Earned in Feb. - Paid in March) : $480.18
Total: $684.18
Lenses Built : 32 (Weird..this is the same as the number of lenses I built Last Month….)
Total Lenses (as of 3/11/08) : 331
Where the lenses fall: (These numbers should be read as �the number of lenses in the top X,XXX on my dashboard�)
Top 1,000 : 9
Top 5,000 : 30
Top 10,000 : 62
Top 20,000 : 137
Reflections:
The LR numbers above are probably a little low as the LR on some of my top lenses dropped in the last few days through a delayed LR update from Squidoo as well as a number of other factors. Not a big deal as I expect my ‘top-line’ growth to pick back up as we head towards the end of the month.
‘Bottom-line’ growth of my lenses was quite good. the number I have in the top 20,000 increased by 6.2% to 137 from 129. I would really like to see bottom line growth of 10% a month but that is getting harder to do as the sheer number of lenses I have in the top 20k and in my account increases.
Note: I still make sales and significant money from lenses with LR below 20,000. I look at the lenses in my account with an LR of under 20k as having a reasonable shot at hitting one of the top two pay tiers (I know I haven’t updated the Squidconomy lens yet, it’s coming!) and so I measure them accordingly.
For a short month, CJ really pulled through. I had almost zero sales going into Valentines Day. Coming out of Valentines day, CJ really took off and I was able to beat my best month ever (last month) by 20% :).
My Squidoo earnings dropped a bit as there was no big commission boost from Christmas sitting on my dashboard. Sales in Jan were absolutely pathetic (I think my dash made like $6) but they picked up a bit in February and March is looking even better.
So far this month, it’s looking like I have a good shot at breaking the $1,000 mark for the first time, which is very exciting.
How was your Payday this month?

I made about $200 in affiliate earnings. I only earned about $4.00 from Squidoo.
With over 331 sites, I would love for you to tell us your monthly traffic stats. I think that would be really cool to know.
If you click on the ‘earnings’ tab in the top menu you should be able to see what you are looking for 
March was my second consecuritve month over $125 in total Squidoo earnings, this is a trend I’m liking a lot!!
Congrats on your earnings. I hope to be up there with ya someday soon. January’s payout for me was only around $5, but I’m slowly making my way. I guess my earnings for Jan increased by about 500% from the previous month…so if I can do that every month I’d be pretty happy.
