3. Thou shalt not flame, harass, denigrate, spam, malign, or otherwise finger-point and name-call at ANYONE. This one's a biggy. This too can get you banned.

Re: What has been your best Squidoo Payday?

2 paydays ago.
About $13 XD (since then, i've had three cruelly hovering-but-never-quite-first-tier lenses)

Haven't been here a whole year yet, so can't pick a month specifically

Re: What has been your best Squidoo Payday?

I read somewhere that the tier one payout was $16.1, does this imply that to Earn $1,600 one needs 100 tier one lenses

Tier 1 has never been that high.  No, you can earn more with sales.

Re: What has been your best Squidoo Payday?

My record was last month, until I beat it by four bucks this month.  [happy dance]  I'm still making peanuts, but if it keeps going up like this I may have to file a W2 with Squidoo for next year.  big_smile

Re: What has been your best Squidoo Payday?

Mine was also last October as that's when we got a bonus - around $800 for 5 accounts - ahhh the good old days.

Now I am lucky if I get more than $50 a month.

General pool, I believe - but you can use our own affiliate links.

Mine was the payment I've got yesterday - for August I suppose, but very small amount ($10...) Fortunately, my own sites earn me money otherwise big_smile

LOL! Biggest payment was also my first one last month.
$24.67 after six months on Squidoo.
At this rate, I've have that Bugati Veyron by 2045! I'll be 79 then but what the heck!

Re: What has been your best Squidoo Payday?

Very interesting thread even though I have all my lenses set to 100 percent charity. I'm going to go visit y'all's lenses and see how a person manages this excellent feat of making actual money on Squidoo! Thanks!

Re: What has been your best Squidoo Payday?

This past month I reached my goal of over $50/month. I know, no big deal compared to these other lensmasters making up to $70-$1,000/month but it's a start.

Re: What has been your best Squidoo Payday?

After seeing these totals...I'm thinking that I must be doing something wrong...and need to learn more on how to maximize my lense. If anyone has any suggestions Im open to them.

I post my totals on this lens.... http://www.squidoo.com/imade68centsonsquidoo for everyone to see.

Thanks

Re: What has been your best Squidoo Payday?

My best month was October 2008, with $540. Squidoo also paid me for some development I did for them that month, but I guess that doesn't count.

I get an average of $200+ each month.

Looks like October was a good month for many people, because of the 'Bank error in your favor' that Squidoo discovered that month.

My best was the last one.  October 2009.  I make $6.97.  That's the most I've ever made.
