Zach from SquidUber has been an awesome person to work with as well. If you haven’t checked out his squidoo blog then you are missing out on some pretty good stuff.

Pretty cool how if you give people a platform to talk about things they love, it’s easy to find others who want to play .

Thank you all and have an excellent weekend.

First,  a shameless plug. I Answered a question over on the Giant Squid mentor Blog by a fantastic new lensmaster (JigsawForte) on how to expand a niche of lenses to reach a wider audience. If you are a webcomic fan, make sure and check out Jigsaw’s webcomic (It’s the Deadliest one around) at Last Resort.

SquidUber has a cool post on how someone contacted him through one of his lenses to write a paid review! Pretty Cool!

The Squidoo – Ebay Lensbuilding Challenge is in Full Swing! I’ve got 9 lenses done so far with one to go. Much Squid fame and glory awaits the winner, so if you haven’t started yet get to it! There’s still plenty of time to get your lenses done (You’ve got all the rest of this week plus the weekend!).

If you have a squidoo blog, let me know so I can swing by and check it out! I love seeing new lensmasters blogs. If not, why not head over to Squidtop and set up a squidoo blog? The community over there is growing quite nicely and it’s a blast to drop in on other Lensmasters to see what they are doing.

Overall income saw a bit of a drop this month, but not the end of the world by any means as I had a few new affiliate programs start to pan out after going through a bit of a dry spell for finding new ideas. I actually have a new project that I hatched yesterday that I might share with you folks once it pans out.. we’ll see.

May 2008 Earnings: $1,575.64

In April I was trying out some things with PPC and other marketing methods. While the volume was a little higher, the return I was getting on the PPC wasn’t worth the added risk in my opinion. I may give PPC another shot when the mood strikes me in the future, but not right now.

Earnings did increase by about 10% over March Squidoo earnings.

In other news, one of the Lensmasters that Haunts our Chat Room, Zach, has started a new blog about squidoo – Squidüber. He’s off to a pretty good start, you should drop by and see what he’s talking about or snag his RSS feed. Zach is the co-creator of SquidTop with me and is good for bouncing new Squidoo ideas back and forth. Good luck on the new blog Zack!
