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.
Well I’m officially now taking orders for custom designed lenses. You can find out more on this lens: Buy a Custom Lens Designed by Noadi.
I’m a long-time Squidoo lensmaster with over 100 lenses, many top ranked. You can check out my lensmaster page to see a sampling of my lenses.
So Payday has come and gone. I did quite well this month, $89.43 which is more than double last month’s total.
I also have some brand new sculpting lenses:
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.
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.

I don’t just write on Squidoo? Of course I have a this blog, a couple others, a website, and a web shop but I also publish articles on Associated Content. They do pay me a little bit for the articles (not as much as Squidoo does for my lenses) but it’s a nice little trickle of money. The big benefit though is that since I often write articles related to my lenses I can link to the lens in the article or link to the article from a lens. This benefits both lenses and articles by creating some backlinks and hopefuly some clickthroughs.
Newest article is 10 Tips for Sculpting in Polymer Clay which I’ve linked to my Polymer Clay Sculpting Tips and Techniques lens.
I started doing some research on branding for my own tiny business (I’m smaller than a small business) so I built a lens around it both to share what I learned and as a reminder to myself of what I need to be doing. So check it out.
Branding your Handmade Products
This goes along with my other two handmade business lenses.
Got a couple brand news lenses on the business side of art rather than the creating side.
Get either the Squidoo Firefox Extension or the Bookmarklet so you can immediately add links to your lenses as you find them online.
I’ve got a bit of an addiction to mystery and suspense stories. Not new stuff though, I like the classics like Raymond Chandler and Agatha Christie. Here’s my collection of lenses on the subject.
