Noadi's Squidoo Blog

Brand New Lensmaster Page

Noadi — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 00:14:22 +0000

Squidoo just launched a brand new lensmaster page with loads of new features. Here’s a brief list: lens count, sorting by name or lensrank, display favorite lenses, feature up to 5 lenses, offsite links and lens links in an About Me list, neater looking fan club list, and more.

I’ve filled out a lot of the new options so you can check them out on my page:

Yummy Lenses and Something for Halloween

Noadi — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 19:13:11 +0000

I love to cook and I really love good food. I haven’t made too many food lenses yet but I do have a few of my favorite recipes up and plan to add more in the future.

Also I have a new lens on some of my polymer clay creations, a little early Halloween goody.

Payday!!!

Noadi — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 16:49:52 +0000

This was my best month ever for payouts, with the grand total being $170.04 (last month I made $89.43). One of my Squidoo goals was to make enough to cover my student loan payments which are $100 a month, I’ve done that with some leftover this month. If you want more details you can check out my stats lens.

On the downside it looks like payouts per lens went down a little this month again, I’m starting to wonder if the switch over to Glam ads has been as successful as hoped.

Introduction to Sculpting in Polymer Clay

Noadi — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 17:16:26 +0000

I have lots of lenses about sculpting but I hadn’t really put together a real guide to the basics of sculpting. Well I’ve remedied that, check out Introduction to Sculpting in Polymer Clay.

I’ve also contributed my addition to the Squidoo Charity Bake Sale with this lens on Needhams, Maine potato candies.

Payday and New Lenses

Noadi — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 18:45:23 +0000

So Payday has come and gone. I did quite well this month, $89.43 which is more than double last month’s total.

Squid Tips for Artists and Crafters

I just finished a new lens that I plan to expand over time about using Squidoo to promote all things handmade. So check it out.

End of the Month Wrap Up

Noadi — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 23:56:16 +0000

So final lensrank update for June has happened. The major point is that if the payout tiers don’t change I have 17 top tier lenses. If the top tier payout is still around $8.50 that means I’ll make about $150 just for those 17 lenses.

Squid Tip #3 - Squidoo Enhanced Script

Noadi — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 23:08:40 +0000

First get Greasemonkey an add-on for Firefox (if you aren’t using Firefox, shame on you). Then head over to SquidUtils and get the Squidoo Enhanced script. It does all sorts of useful things (mostly in the lens workshop) such as:

Checks each tag in edit mode, and color codes them by number of lenses. Hovering over the tag will tell you the exact number of lenses using the tag.
Adds link to Ping, Backlinks and Health-Check tools.
If lens just published, adds Ping link to green box.
Makes the workshop the full width of a published lens - NEW!
Increases the height of text edit boxes - NEW!

Make sure to thank thefluffanutta for creating such a cool tool for us!
