One Year of Squidoo and 368 Lenses Later
May.14, 2008 in
Site News
I started using Squidoo one year ago today (give or take 24 hours) and in that time I’ve:
- Built 368 lenses (just over 1 a day!)
- Been a Citizen Squid, Giant Squid, Squid Angel, forum mod, and all around Squidoo helper.
- Started a blog about Squidoo (this one)
- Started an auction site for Squidoo Lenses
- Started a lens directory for Squidoo
- Started a chat room for Squidoo
- Started a Squidoo Blog Platform
- Made a TON of new friends!
- Failed miserably at running groups on Squidoo
- Gone from $2 my first payout to over $2,500 in profit from Squidoo last month
- Had a lens earn $1,000 in a single month
- Made 749 posts at Squid U.
- Found out I love teaching people to think.
It’s been a busy year to say the least! And I honestly hope next year is even busier. To everyone who has helped along the way (and there’s a ton of you) : Thank You.

Received your email on your busy year – just wanted to say congrats!
Pretty awesome accomplishment, I must say…now…if only I will be able to follow in your footsteps?
Right now that’s a big LOL.
Again, congratulations and all the best to you!

Wow, 368 lenses is amazing! I joined Squidoo about three months ago and just published my 6th lens last night.

Congrats! By the bye, I Stumbled here. I’ve been putting off visiting the Isle of Squid, but I may just have been lured, now.

Congratulations on your 1 year annivesary at Squidoo. Your lens count is absolutely amazing. I made the mistake of slowing my lens building and have just started to pick things back up recently.
I’m looking forward to reading more tips from you.

That is an amazing amount of content. I think that Squidoo is really addictive. While I don’t have nearly that many pages, I am at about 25 now.

[...] around here though and I think there are a lot of lensmasters pushing against it right now. When I started Squidoo a Year Ago the very tippy top lensmasters in terms of lenses that I knew had between 300-600 lenses (JeffyV [...]

Well done on 1 lens = $1000 per month!
Squidoo is totally addictive – I’ve built 3 lenses in 3 days and only actually intended to do 1 to get more visitors to my website!
