carview!

Now… .04c each x 13 does not equal $10.28, so how my payout ended up $10.28 I have yet to figure out. According to Squidoo, these .04c per lens is because of Google’s ads on the page. Google paid Squidoo .08c and Squidoo than paid me 50% of that.

Squidoo’s Payout levels change every month, for the month of July the payout per lens was:

$4.12 (top 100 lenses)

$0.73 (top 1000 lenses)

$0.04 (top 10,000 lenses)

and if your lens isn’t in the top 10,000 than you don’t get anything for it that month at all!

However those figures do not include affiliate commisions. If you add MoneyMaker modules you make more money, providing that people buy the items you recomend.

I use eBay, Amazon, and CafePress on all of my lenses.

The payout for those is:

eBay 50% of what the seller earned.

Amazon 4% – 7% of the sale price.

CafePress for some reason isn’t listed yet?

You also get $5 when you recommend others, after they join and after they earn thier first $15.

Squidoo says that the average payout for their lensebuilders is $35 per month. Most stay around the $10 range while a few hit $150 per month… and a handful are now making $400 – $500 per month.

As Squidoo gains more popularity these figures are expected to rise.

Well, there you have it…. how I make money on Squidoo. So, while my $10.28 is starting out small, it is something, and if all goes well, it’ll soon be in the triple digits.

So, has anyone else tried this yet? If so, have you started making any money yet? I’d love to hear how others are making out with this.

Woo~Hoo! My first Squidoo pay day!

Posted on Monday, August 6, 2007 | Comments Off on Woo~Hoo! My first Squidoo pay day!

I’ve been building Squidoo lenses since April 2007. Today I just got an announcment on my Squidoo Dashboard. It said:

Payday, Payday! Here’s your Squidcash, earned from 06/01/2006 to 06/30/2006. Congrats, and keep up the great lenses.

OMG! My first payday from Squidoo! I can’t believe it! My lenses are actually making money! When I first startede doing this and I read that you could make money doing it, I laughed. I built my first few lenses just to see if I realy could make money by shareing info on my hobbies, but I didn’t think it’d work. As I got going, I quickly got addicted to building them, and now I’ve got about 40 lenses. I’ve been haveing so much fun here, that I didn’t even think about the money part of it any more. In fact, I forgot that I had come here to try to make some extra money! LOL! Than today they send my first pay-day to my PayPal account. WOW!

I’m making money for doing something I love doing! That is so cool!

As a devoted fan of F.O.W.L. (Feindish Organization of World Larceny), I join in in this goal of having an evil lair, in hopes that NegaDuck, SteelBeak, and the Fearsome Five choose it for their next secret hideout.

What Does “Non-Genre” Mean?

Posted on Wednesday, April 11, 2007 | 1 comment

Many publications say they only accept “Non-Genre Fiction”. A common question writers ask is: “What is Non-Genre Fiction? Doesn’t all fiction have a genre?” I had just read this post and noticed a debate over what is the meaning of Genre Fiction VS Non-Genre Fiction had begun on it’s comments. Being an editor, I think I can be of help here. So, here is my answer to that question. I hope that some of you find it helpful when submitting your future stories to publishers.When a publication says, “they’re non-genre focused”, they mean that they only want literary fiction and will automatically refuse all stories that a genre driven. A genre driven story is one that falls under the following:

Romance

Fantasy

Sci-fi

Horror

(and the many other such genres out there)

Genre driven stories are focused largely on promotion of their genre and the story focuses totally on that genre. I.e., a romance focuses on a girl’s romantic infatuation; a fantasy will focus on the life of elves wizards and he-men type characters fighting evil in a epic quest; sci-fi focuses on alien life forms traveling from one planet to the next and other such sci-fi type things; horror focuses on scaring the pants off the reader

When a publisher say “they’re non-genre focused” they want to see a slice-of-life story about the day (or week or year) in the life of so-and-so… this is what is known as non-genre or literary fiction. The story focuses on real-life type characters in real life type situations; stories that real like they could be the life of the guy next door or the girl down the road. Non-genre stories tell a story that is not dependant on a fantasy quest or the eloquent narration describing the alien landscape or the steamy sex-scenes. They simply tell a story about life and thus have no genre.

Well, that’s what I see it to mean. Feel free to comment on your own veiws as to the meaning of “non-genre”.

666

Posted on Tuesday, April 3, 2007 | Comments Off on 666

I just logged in for the day. First thing I always do is check comments in queue waiting for moderation. Today there were only 2 comments wating for me to approve them. After reading and approving them I checked the spam comment list to see there were ant comments that got stuck in with the spam ones. About 1 or 2 comments get shifted into the spam section and have to be moved to the comment section, so I always check. Well today I got this message:

Caught Spam

Akismet has caught 666 spam for you since you first installed it.

You have no spam currently in the queue. Must be your lucky day. 🙂

Well, if it isn’t a 458 that’s following me around it’s a 666. What is it with these two numbers anyways? Seems like every day one or the other shows up somewhere and sticks out like a sore thumb at me.

Does this ever happen to any of you? If so what number(s)?

A List of POD Publishers

Posted on Sunday, April 1, 2007 | 3 comments

I found this list of Print On Demand publishers and found it quite interesting as I had only heard of a few of them before. Well, you know me, now I must go check them all out and compare them against each other. I am compelled to do nothing less. I haven’t had a chance to study up on these yet, so I can’t vouch for them, but feel free to check them out for yourselves and see what you think of them.

For those interested in POD self-publishing, I also recomend that you first read this:

For the sake of referance, I pasted the first paragraph below:

PRINT ON DEMAND

Print on demand (POD) is the commonly-used term for the digital printing technology that allows a complete book to be printed and bound in a matter of minutes. POD technology makes it easy and cost-effective to produce books one or two at a time or in small lots, rather than in larger print runs of several hundred or several thousand.POD has a number of applications. Commercial and academic publishers use it to print advance reading copies, or when they can’t justify the expense of producing and warehousing a sizeable print run–for instance, to keep backlist books available. Some independent publishers use it as a more economical fulfillment method, trading lower startup costs against smaller per-book profits (due to economies of scale, digitally printed books have a higher unit production cost than books produced in large runs on offset presses). Last but not least, there are the POD-based publishing service providers, which offer a fee-based service that can be described, depending on one’s bias, as either vanity publishing or self-publishing….

Attack of the POD People! They are not evil.

Posted on Sunday, April 1, 2007 | 1 comment

Are you a self publisher? Maybe you have a manuscript you want published, but you are not sure if self-publishing is right for you? I’m a self publisher myself and I’m always looking for ways to improve, so as you can expect I spend a lot of my “blog reading time” looking for blogs that help writers in general and self-publishers esp. Well, today I came across a new blog I hadn’t found before. My search lead me to this post:

POD is not Vanity is not Self Publish

April 1st, 2007 · No Comments

POD is a technology. It’s a way to print books. It’s quite useful for printing small quantities, particularly if there is intermittent demand. LOTS of publishers who are not vanity houses or scam mills use POD technology. University presses spring to mind, as do very small limited runs of very tightly focused books. POD is not evil.

Vanity presses can use POD technology OR they can use webfeed technology. Vanity presses are essentially printers with some support staff. They’ll help you print up nice editions of whatever you want. You pay for this. It’s called vanity because they don’t acquire the book. Acquire means there is an editorial staff choosing particular books to publish. Vanity houses do not maintain lists, issue catalogs or sell books in bookstores. Vanity presses are not evil

Self publishers can use POD technology or webfeed technology. Self publishers are not vanity presses in the everyday sense of the word. They are “vanity” in the sense that there isn’t an acquisition but the two phrases are used to mean different things in publishing. Lots of people self publish for a lot of reasons. Self publishing is not evil.

POD/scam mills are companies set up to persuade you, the author, that printing your book with their company is the equivalent to having it acquired by a publisher. They charge you money. Unlike a respectable vanity press, they don’t copy edit or produce high quality products. They are out to make money on volume. They prey on author’s insecurities and lack of knowledge. POD/scam mills are the scum of the earth.

Whether a company is the scum of the earth depends on how they run their business, not how they print their books.

There are several POD companies that do not try to persuade you that you have but to print up books with them to be on your way to fame and glory. Lulu and CafePress come to mind. There are others I’m sure.

to the authour of this post, I say:

every one with a manuscript should read this post, if you know someone with a manuscript pass this on to them.

Here is the story that I was thinking of when reading A Christmas Carol, and I combined the two to come up with my twisted Christmas Demented Dickens Duck plot:

Star Trek vs Star Wars

Posted on Saturday, March 17, 2007 | 2 comments

The Trekkies and the Jedi Knights have long argued that their series was the greatest, but who is actually right? That is what I would like to find out. Well, I was wondering, when it comes to bloggers, do more bloggers like Star Trek or Star Wars? Which do you think is best? Leave a comment and let me know!

I’m a doctor not a… He’s dead Jim.That’s illogical.

you know who I voted for

however, I almost voted both, because I’m a big fan of Star wars too… though when you get right down to it, I think I like Dr. Who even better and Retief and HGTG and most every other sci-fi anything out there

Blogs for Writers

Posted on Tuesday, March 13, 2007 | 3 comments

I’m planning on doing an update for my Z-List for writers. I’ll be posting the new edition in the next week or so. For now I am searching the net for blogs geared for writers, blogs by writers, blogs about the writing life, blogs that give writing lessons, and other such blogs that would be of interest to novelists everywhere. While most of the blogs I have added thus far are blogs that I read, I am looking for suggestions. What I mean is: If you are a writer and you have a blog for other writers, feel free to leave a comment on this post with a link to your blog so I can check it out. If it fits the type of blog I’m looking for, I’ll add it to the next edition of The Z-List for Writers. I look forward to reading your blogs.

For those of you who don’t know what The Z-List is, here is an explaination:

Like the chain letter, the Z-List contains addresses, but it differant in that it never asks you to buy anything. You don’t even have to buy a stamp. The Z-List is the chain mail for bloggers. It gets a blog pingbacks and inbound links, and helps to send more traffic to the blog, hopefully traffic that well stay on to become regular readers.

Anyone can start a Z-List. It’s easy. Just take a list of Blogs which you enjoy reading, and put them in a post on your own blog. Some say not to add your Blog to the list, while others say to go ahead and put your Blog right on the top of the list. Well, it’s your Blog and your list so you can put links to any Blog you please in it.

With the list you leave a message, asking that the next person to read this post, copies it and pastes it into the next post they make on their own Blog. They are free to add as many Blog links to the list as they like, and they are welcome to remove any links that are already in the list, if they feel that theose Blogs are inappropiate to be linked back to their own Blog.

Most Z-Lists start out with five or ten links, but after being passed on to just ten more bloggers, that Z-List can quickly have 100 or more links in it. The advantage of this is, that for each post, that each Blog in each link, well recieve a ping-back for that post. In other words, their Blog becomes linked to your Blog and your Blog to thiers, making it a win-win situation for both your Blog and their Blog, by raising the inbound link ranking with such places a Technorati and Google, meaning that you Blog moves higher in the ranks on search engins, resulting in more people finding your Blog and giving you more readers. Great huh? Absolutely!

P.$.

I only accept family friendly blogs into my Z-Lists, so blogs that promote sex, porn, hate, racism, violence, hunting, guns, drugs, and other such acts are never added to any of my Z-Lists. If after addition to one of my Z-Lists, I later find that such posts and links have been added to the blog, the blogs link well be removed from all of my Z-Lists.

Please note, that spam posts are deleted automaticlynow, cause I got sick of scrolling through dozens of Porn and sex posts. Blogs that are about or link to sex or porn sites are automaticle scanned and deleted and I never even see them at all now, sobe sure your blog has no sex or porn on it or linked to it, before you post it, because it well never be reviewd if it does.

This is the Z-List for Writers as it originally appeared. As you can see, it was thrown together as I read the blogs, with no rhymn nor reason. The new edition, well be in alphabetical order.
