*The Forum Rules.
Yep, rules. Read 'em. Abide by 'em. Or your sea creature powers may be revoked. Temporarily, or for good.
1. New to the lounge? Get started here. Learn which category to post your note in, and create a forum signature.
2. Spam: just don't do it. Thou also shalt not fill the forums with multiple threads on the same topic or sockpuppet.
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.
4. Squidstaff love interacting with smart front-line people, so they stop by the forums from time to time to hear your ideas and share updates. However, this isn't the place to post bugs or solicit admin action. Please send those requests through our feedback link.
5. The SquidU forum is a place for users to interact, to share ideas and inspiration (and yes, gripes... maybe another lensmaster can help) and have fun with their lenses. Try searching for an answer or visiting The Answer Deck.
Since you've been on Squidoo which month has been your best Payday on Squidoo? And, if you want to share, what was the amount?
(This does not include 3rd party affiliates, or selling lenses...just from Squidoo)
October 6, 2008
YOUR ROYALTIES (08/01/2008 to 08/31/2008)

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
Offline
Well, I haven't had a squidoo payday yet. I hope to have one in the future.
Offline
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
Offline
Tier 1 has never been that high. No, you can earn more with sales.

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. ![]()

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.

I think this one was
have to check my XL when I get home to confirm it.

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 ![]()
Offline
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!

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!
Offline
I am guessing that traffic from search engines is key here
Offline
This month $25 and change! Yay! and I haven't put any serious work in since I started working full time in May. Plus this is the first month that I have generated any 3rd party commissions! Happy Dance ![]()
Offline
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.
Offline
I've had 3 paydays - $0.24 (well - didn't actually get paid that one since it was less than $1) , $24 and then last week $31. Very exciting!

My first payout was this month, and I had one lens make 2 cents, and one lens make $12.48 (($1.27 for La Leche League! Hurray)
Offline
The payday in Oct. 2009 was my highest yet. Hopefully, they will just keep increasing!!! ![]()

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

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.
