Payday Has Arrived

Bonnie Diczhazy
by on Tue, Jan 15th, 2013

w00t!

Payday is here and it’s a nice one.

Check your BlueBox on your Dashboard to see what you earned this month.

So what are YOU going to spend this months royalty payment on?

Star Wars Tauntaun Sleeping Bag anyone?

    Squidoo earnings go directly towards bills, in this case, car insurance. Thank you for the earning opportunity, Squidoo!

  • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/Lovelifelaughter Lovelifelaughter

    WOOHOOOO, my first ever payday! Okay, so it’s only two dollars, but I can’t tell you how thrilled I am. It means I’ve finally worked it out!

    • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/good4us_all good4us_all

      :) I still remember my first $0.30 – I was over the moon!

      • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/Lovelifelaughter Lovelifelaughter

        It doesn’t even matter that they were little amounts, does it. It’s just the fact that you feel that you’re on your way.

    • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/miaponzo miaponzo

      Hey! We have all been there… it can only get better and better :) I LOVED my first payout! So exciting!!!

      • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/Lovelifelaughter Lovelifelaughter

        It really was! And it motivated me to find out more. Here’s hoping I keep improving. :)

  • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/George_McCasland George_McCasland

    Well, my earning only dropped 60% as a result of the Google Update on November 18th, but I imagine next month that will go down another 80%.

    • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/miaponzo miaponzo

      Why would that be?

  • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/KonaCoffeeBuzz KonaCoffeeBuzz

    Star Wars Tauntaun Sleeping Bag?!!! I’ll take eight!!

  • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/StephenC StephenC

    Can’t wait until Feb for Dec payout! My money goes to my general fund and is used for daily expenses. Squidoo rocks!

  • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/happynutritionist happynutritionist

    Alas, some of it will make up for what hubby no longer gets in his check thanks to the recent changes in taxes, and the rest will help us make it to the next check:-) Looking forward to it showing up in paypal! Thanks so much.

    • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/ElizaHenderson ElizaHenderson

      Hey now that’s something to shoot for! Between tax increase & insurance increase, well, :(

  • http://www.EarningFreeMoney.com/ Louida M

    Woot! Pay Day! My money is going to car repairs. Boo!

  • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/Squidoolinepro Squidoolinepro

    Woot woot; awesome way to start the new year! Thanks so much ;)

  • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/veryirie veryirie

    Most of my writing $ these days goes to help sponsor partial adoption fees for animals in shelters. I also buy materials for sewing and crocheting to donate to animal shelters and animal rescues…….In other words, my money usually goes “to the dogs” (and the cats too!) THANKS to Squidoo, I can help the animals and it’s all a good thing! :)

    • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/getmoreinfo getmoreinfo

      That is such a worthwhile cause too, I think it is great you can help the animals.

    • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/InfoCoop InfoCoop

      I’m well on my way to becoming a crazy cat lady with 5 indoor cats- all rescue animals and I love your idea. Kudos to you!!!

  • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/myspace9 myspace9

    I am very new to squidoo, so today first time I saw $0.77 in reserve bank. So hoping to make more and more. thanks

  • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/mojo_007 mojo_007

    I had a double payday box, and for some reason one will not delete…HELP!!!!!!!!!! I even tried refreshing, logging in and out again, but it will not go away.

    • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/LisaAuch LisaAuch

      Same here, seems a little bug on the dashboard!

  • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/jennifer-lawyer jennifer-lawyer

    This was my first Squidoo payday since I published my first lens ever in November. I was disappointed to see $0.00. :( After a few words of self-encouragement, I will focus on a few new lenses this week. We can only go up from here! :)

    • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/AlishaV AlishaV

      It takes a while to start earning. It’ll happen, just keep working at it and keep up the good thoughts :)

    • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/getmoreinfo getmoreinfo

      Just don’t give up and stay positive, everything will work itself out in time.

    • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/vallain vallain

      The first month is only a partial month for a lens, so no earnings. December will be your first full month with the payout scheduled for February. You need to be ranked in tier 1, 2 or 3 or make some sales from the lens.

    • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/miaponzo miaponzo

      he he.. it takes a while to get money.. :) Don’t worry, it will come if you persist!

  • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/poldepc poldepc

    a little bit disappointed this time; but we keep on working…

  • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/AlishaV AlishaV

    My earnings this month will go to taking care of my small cat rescue and buying a ticket to Burning Man.

    • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/getmoreinfo getmoreinfo

      Ooh your going to burning man, that will be awesome.

  • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/Serenia Serenia

    Hey Bonnie, you are aware that we cannot get rid of the second blue (payday) box in our dashboards aren’t you? And I cant seem to submit a bug report about it either – the submit button is missing…

  • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/paperfacets paperfacets

    I am planning on remodeling parts of our thirty year old house. So my future earnings is going to that too.

  • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/dbodnariuc dbodnariuc

    My best earnings ever, although still far from what I consider ideal. More lenses and this will probably change. But we rely too much on Google, hence nothing is certain.
    Not sure what I want to buy. Maybe pamper the dear ones and myself.

    • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/miaponzo miaponzo

      No matter what Google does, you can stay on top if you forget white hat, black hat, and just concentrate on REAL Valuable content…nothing is better… even for a sales lens. Give value and you will be on top of Google.

    Thank you, Squidoo! :)

  • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/katiecolette katiecolette

    Great Payday! Thank you, Squidoo! Some of the money I made this month will go towards bills and some to Savings. Saving More is my New Year resolution :)

  • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/SquidooDudes SquidooDudes

    Hey Bonnie!
    Payday was awesome today! My second best payday ever! Thank you so much for this platform to work on. I will be making my final payment on my truck. Paid off 7 months early, thanks entirely to last months Halloween payday and now this month! Squidoo is awesome and you can quote me on that!

      Hey there, have u really gotten paid well for being on Squidoo? Also how long did it take you to get paid?

      • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/SquidooDudes SquidooDudes

        Yes, I have lived off my online income since 2008. About 70% of my income comes from the Squidoo platform. It takes awhile to build up. But with hard work and a little creative talent a person can achieve enough earnings to live on. There are many factors of course. Like how much money a month do you need to “live on” for instance.

        • Enid

          Thank you very much SquidooDudes. I would love to look over a few of ur lens if you don’t mind. Coz I am still a newbie at Squidoo. I find it hard to believe that alot of us have been busy posting on f.b. and not getting paid a dime while Squidoo pays generously:-/. Did u need to have any special skills in order to accomplish the task:)?

          ——————————

          • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/SquidooDudes SquidooDudes

            It does take some skill in creating lenses. After you have built several, you start to get an idea of what helps and works. Just keep at it and don’t give up. Read all you can about how to make great lenses. If you have the “will” Squidoo provides the way to do it.

  • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/stargazer00 stargazer00

    I’m buying a new refrigerator. It’s not what I had planned on buying but hey, thanks to Squidoo I have the money to buy it!

  • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/CruiseReady CruiseReady

    Nice payday!

  • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/rommy1984 rommy1984

    How come i didn’t get nothing?? I got at least 6 lenses under rank #1.000 in november, but nothing yet… I’m so sad……. What could be wrong??

    • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/favored1 favored1

      Check you payout level first.

      • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/rommy1984 rommy1984

        Where do i see that?

    I can buy a McDonald’s dipped ice cream cone. Hopefully next month I’ll be able to buy a shake.

    • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/getmoreinfo getmoreinfo

      LOL, I like McDonald ice cream too!

      • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/miaponzo miaponzo

        hahahahahah :) Oh you WILL!!!!

  • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/getmoreinfo getmoreinfo

    Happy Days, more seeds for my flower Garden. Woo Hoo!

  • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/favored1 favored1

    After tithe and charities part is going toward a cookbook.

  • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/DaveStone13 DaveStone13

    Thanks, as always, to Squidoo for giving us a solid, money making platform.

  • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/RiaB RiaB

    I received payment for one of my lenses but I had a couple of other ones that were under 80,000 in rankings and they earned $0 for November. In the past they have been earning about 50 to 60cents each. I am happy the earnings for my one lens was over $5. That’s great! I can’t wait to see what it earned in December! (It’s a seasonal lens) Thanks Bonnie!

  • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/squidoopets squidoopets

    I recently signed my daughter up for Sun Hang Do martial arts, this is the first time in her life I’ve been able to afford an extra-curricular sport for her – all thanks to Squidoo!! My recent pay day wasn’t as big as others, but that’s because I was away for a couple weeks in November. But my trip was paid for with squidoo royalties too! I am very thankful, this program has enhanced my life in so many ways.

  • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/john9229 john9229

    My wish this year, get a free ticket to Disney Land.

  • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/A-Redneck A-Redneck

    Ah this was a long month and I was so happy to see the blue box show up. Mine is going largely on car insurance and medicine.

    • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/miaponzo miaponzo

      Hope you’re alright :)

  • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/OhMe OhMe

    I can’t wait to give the Squidoo Report at our Friends of the Park meeting this coming Monday. Everyone will be so thrilled and appreciative.

  • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/manlalakbay manlalakbay

    I already got mine. Thanks for this Squidoo. I promise I will double my effort here in Squidoo. I will try to accumulate all my earnings and then invest it in my investment. :)

  • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/kab kab

    I’m buying a new car! Okay, it’s not all from this month’s payout, but this money is being added to what I’ve saved for the down payment, and hopefully future payouts pay the monthly payments on it.

  • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/Kylyssa Kylyssa

    It’s going to rent and meds and possibly a new pair of cheap, comfy shoes, my first in over five years! Thank you, Squidoo!

    • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/miaponzo miaponzo

      :)

    My payout will go toward replenishing my savings account after Christmas.

  • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/AstroGremlin AstroGremlin

    Woot! I made a few bucks.

  • MandeeSears

    Paying bills! It feels so good to finally be catching up. Squidoo has made a big difference in our financial situation. Maybe soon I can get ahead!

  • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/Frankster Frankster

    This time the cats need new beds so some of the money will go there and some to food — they just can’t seem to get enough. lol THANKS Squidoo for making and keeping this great site going and to the Lensmaster who donate their royalties to FIV Cat Rescue. They help cover some food every month! Bear hugs, Frankie

    Reading these comments are so motivational. Thanks.

  • http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/SheilaSchnauzies SheilaSchnauzies

    You know what? I brought home a lot of paychecks before I retired, but I have never been prouder of any than I am of my Squidoo paycheck! Certainly it’s not a lot of money (yet!) but I am constantly building for the future. And for the first time in my life, I am being paid for doing what I love – writing! Thank you Squidoo!

    I got myself a much-needed second pair of tennis shoes. :-)
