Squidoo has just released its latest earnings update.
My earnings for the month of September were $15.46.
Some highlights: Computer Game Making For Kids earned $4.67, up from $4.12. Roleplaying With Kids also earned $4.67, up from $4.12. My personal lens, Who Is Jay Shaffstall? earned $.79, up from $.04.
Out of the new lenses that I wrote in my ten day spree, What Is Yuwie? earned $4.67 on its first month. Most of the others were in the $.06 range.
Traffic still seems to be the major factor in the income of a lens. The average lens rank of all my lenses has dropped quite a bit in the past two months, but traffic has held steady after recovering from Google’s slapping Squidoo for spam lenses.
Squidoo still doesn’t replace blogging, but If you have a topic you want to put up a quick single page about, create a Squidoo lens.
Hi Jay =)
Nice post…thanks for sharing this info!
I noticed that you said your top paying lenses were $4.67 and that was up from your last payment of $4.12. Did you not receive a payment in October? The top-tiered lenses that paid out last month (October for August earnings) made $3.32 each (an “ouchie” resulting from the Squidoo Slap late summer).
Squidoo is certainly an excellent “tool” to have in your im- toolbox, isn’t it? Also, not too many “free to use” sites PAY you to have content there!
Thanks for the post, Jay!

Hmm…no, in my royalties section, I see just the November and September payments. Odd!
You might have to change the royalty status to a lower number. I have mine set to $50 but you can set it to a minimum of $1.
