187 Lenses And What Else Is New

It's been a bit quiet here on this blog about Squidoo, and I haven't made as many lenses as before, currently being a shy number away from 200. Reason is that I've been writing an ebook for a client. I've finished now the last chapter, and early next week I'll have to review it, check the layout, fonts and all and hand it over fully to the customer. And get paid. And then I can focus more on Squidoo again. I do want to get to 200 lenses by the end of June when I take off for 2 weeks to visit my parents in Hungary.

My natural perfume lens is still featured on the homepage, I've just seen it now when I logged on to Squidoo. Also for the last 2 weeks sales have started to nicely pick up. Now I get more than just a measly sale or two or three a day. There were days when I had over 10 Amazon sales. Granted, today was only 1 again. Hm, maybe I shouldn't talk about it, I just jinx it.

Latest Squidoo payment just came through on the 10th and I made $432, $40 less than the previous month. On the other hand, I made $100 more on Amazon through the lenses using my own affiliate id. My goal hopefully by the end of the year: to get to 8% commission at Amazon. Now that would bump up the earnings nicely. We'll see.

Here is an interesting graph of my Squidoo earnings to date. Funny how it really took off last October, it practically shot off from almost 0.

Squidoo Earnings Growth

We had the other day a discussion on the Squidutils forum about the earning growth on Squidoo for royalties, and some of us showed our graphics to illustrate that. Mine was an interesting case as the growth is almost non-existent, followed in September by a real shooting to the moon.

I guess it shows the growth since I became much more focused on Squidoo last Steptember. Just as with anything, as long as you pull in the hard work, the rewards won't fail eventually to show up.
