March Squidoo Earnings – Closing in on 4 digits

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.

New Squidoo Search by Lensmaster Function

I was just searching around on Squidoo and just for kicks I punched in my Lensmaster name (Loyalis) into the search bar and it returned all of my lenses (plus a few more I’m mentioned in!).

My Squidoo Dashboard Wishlist

I’ve been trying to pound out some lenses today and have been struggling (as usual) with the unwieldy size of my dashboard. Having 300 lenses listed in one place is great for my ego, but not for getting anything productive done. Opening multiple accounts doesn’t really solve much but forcing me to remember more logins [...]
