Christmas Lens On Front Page Of Squidoo

It's been almost 2 weeks since I last posted here. So let's see what things have happened with my Squidoo account since.

Some of my lenses have been featured on the front page, including my Halloween lens on Grandma Halloween Costumes and my new one for a Christmas quest called Book Holders for Reading. Actually the book holders lens also got last week a purple star and it's been featured on the front page for the last couple of days already. I'm tickled pink!

I've started making a few Christmas lenses since the 2-3 I already have are making me some random sales. The two lenses I made so far are:

Presents for New Mums
Secret Santa Gift Ideas for Women

My goal is to make 10 Christmas lenses in November, so let's see if I can meet this challenge.

New Halloween Lens On Front Page

I took part in a new quest at Squidoo in listing an already existing (or new) lens as 'best that we made' for Halloween, and I added one that I made towards end of August on Halloween candelabra. It was accepted and the next day I saw it on the homepage. Yeppee! And here it is in action...

Halloween Costumes Lens On Front Page

Remember the lens I posted about just yesterday on the Grandma Halloween Costumes? Well I've sent it in to Squidoo HQ as a completed quest, got 200 points and just now spotted it on the front page. Noticed a post in the Facebook forum that others have seen theirs too, so I refreshed the Squidoo homepage and there was mine too!

Here is the screenshot, my lens is the green one right in the middle with the red arrow above it. Feels great to see it there.

Squidoo Lens Featured On The Front Page

This week a second lens of mine has been featured on the front page. I entered in the second Woot competition and while I didn't win, my lens about 'How to get rid of fruit flies fast' has won a purple star and it's now randomly featured on the main page of Squidoo.

This is a topic that I actually know something about since due to the extra heat in our parts of the world, there are lots of fruit flies in many kitchens, including ours. I've been using various ways to get rid of them, some working better than others, so here I listed a couple that I'm familiar with.

I currently have 209 lenses, and on another note, I've reached 8% commission at Amazon, mostly through my lenses, and this for the second time now. The first time it was last month while I was away on holiday visiting my parents. The months is not yet fully over, and I'm already in the 8% bracket. Next I'll be working towards getting that elusive 8.25%. That's over 1571 products sold, so it's quite a bit until I get there. First, let's make sure I stay in the 8% bracket in the first place.

My Lens On The Front Page Of Squidoo

I'm so thrilled, for the first time ever one of my lenses has been featured on the front page of Squidoo.com itself. The lens is called How to make natural perfume and it's based on one of my (many) hobbies. I love making my own perfume mixes and it's fun to learn about it.

The lens was created a bit over a week ago, and I entered in one of the Squidoo competitions called the Squidcademy Awards. Following that I got the day before yesterday a purple star for it along with 500 squidpoints, and yesterday received my email from Squidoo telling me that it has been selected for the front page.
I rushed to check it out, and indeed, the lens is there, featured every couple of times the page is refreshed. There are many lenses featured on the front page, so featuring them goes through a rotation process.

I took a screenshot of it 'for posterity', so here it is.
