I now have 36 cents in my reserve hopper and I am thrilled about it! My payout next month will be better of course, but I'm absolutely tickled with the 36 cents. Yay!

*Christene jumps for joy*
this is my best payout yet!

Congratulations to you all, i've started squidoo at june 12, and my reserve hopper is $8.88. I'm pleased ![]()

Lovin' payday! wow, more than I expected... that'll more than pay for a couple weeks worth of groceries ![]()
Thanks Squidoo!

My payout more than doubled this month, up to $38.15.
Unfortunately, haven't made many sales lately so I don't think I will reach that payout again. I need to start doing some promoting.

I earned my rent again, plus some utilities.

June was my largest amount yet (over $16) and July will be even better than that so in Sept. I will play my first round of golf compliments of Squidoo. Now I just need to get 4 rounds a month -- when you reach a goal set a higher one.
In contrast my adSense account for my 5 blogs had its highest monthly payout as well and it was $7.00 even. Squidoo is by far the better earner.

I was wondering... what's the highest monthly payout anyone has ever gotten from Squidoo and who did it go to and how many lenses did they have at the time? Does anyone know?
Offline
WOO HOO - I hit double digits! Two lenses in top tier for June helped a lot (they've fallen way off since then). But still WOW!
Although its odd - my Royalty Payments on each of my individual lenses that received royalties don't add up to the total on the Squidoo notice - Looks like I'm paid $.25 short. Does anyone else double check the math on their payouts?

All I can say is, Holy Cow! Thanks, Squidoo. ![]()

Aw, shucks --
Squidoo's tentacles are in a twist.
It's black as night. Guess I've to wait a while!

The June payout is another record one for me. Very exciting. ![]()
It's a shame that the July earnings and probably August earnings won't be as good thanks to the Google slap of early july and subsequent downturn in traffic. This has a big effect on adsense earnings and sales.
Offline
This is the best payout yet. I just crossed the $20 threshold.
Now I just gotta wait on that PayPal email to come. :p

Katiyana, do you have any groups? they usually get paid a bit too...
Offline
I started Squidoo on June 9th, and I've got $9.75 in my reserve. On July 31st I sold my first 4 products through amazon. I've also had 1 afilliate sale.
Katiyana, is that how you figure the royalties? I can't tell which of my lens got them, or how much.
Offline
Eelkat has a good question, but no one has answered. I am very curious to the amount of lenses, a person would need, to pay your rent? Like Relache did.
I understand they must be very good lenses as well.
I made $1.06, and I am very happy. I absolutely LOVE Squidoo.
Perhaps the question is too personal, but for those of us who are quite new, it would be interesting to know.
Thanks all, and CONGRATS

Loyalis, I do have 2 groups, only 1 would have been active in June - but I don't see any royalties record for Groups.
Let's me show you the math and you'll see what I mean:
2 lenses @ $5.99 = $11.98
2 lenses @ $1.03 = $ 2.06
1 lens @ $1.28 = $1.28
These are all from the Stats/Royalties pages for my 5 lenses that were active that month. That adds up to $15.32 in my book.
But the notice from Squidoo on my dashboard said the payout would be $15.07 - like the $.25 for that last lens wasn't included perhaps?
(I'm a numbers person so I track these sorts of things out of habit - I have a spreadsheet for it and everything).
Not that I'm complaining - its $15 I didn't have before
its just the way my mind works. Does Squidoo withhold part of our Royalty payments to cover the fees to send them to us perhaps?

i have a spreadsheet too ![]()
Gil told me they "deduct a tiny tiny amount of any royalties paid out in Cash to cover Paypal's processing fee. The amount listed in the reserve hopper does not include the processing fee, since it has not been paid out in cash yet."
Offline
Elee i clicked on your name and saw that you started July, 2007...so your first payment will actually be in September
you will never see $0.00 again...every lens earns something even if it's a small adsense $
congrats on all your affiliate earnings ![]()
Offline
katiyana,
It may be that the lens at $1.28 earned a $0.25 commission from a sale... I had lenses at the other three payment tiers and Squidoo has been paying on a 3-tier system for adsense earnings.
Thus I bet you had 3 lenses at $1.03 and one of them earned a $0.25 commission (which is probably still pending)
just my .02
Offline
I hit $48 and some change! Too cool
5.99 for several lenses. I'm so happy with the new adsense earning!
Question: Has anyone received today's payout in their PayPal account yet?

I haven't yet. I was wondering if it was just me. :p
Probably just hasn't been processed yet. I was just scared that something was wonky with Paypal.
