Boo Weekley

If you didn't know Boo Weekley's name before last weekend, I bet you know it now. Boo was typical Boo and entertained everyone with his antics. I already had a Squidoo lens about Boo and thought this would be a great time to spread the word. Check it out HERE Sphere: Related Content

New Squidoo lenses on Alabama legal topics

I have created several new Squidoo lenses about common legal issues that many people have questions about. These are based on Alabama law and only meant to be used as general guides, not as a replacement for legal representation. I am working on several additional lenses and hope to have those up in a few days. If you have any specific topics or requests, please leave a comment and I will accommodate any request if possible.

Squidoo Experiment Update #2

I just received my Squidoo payment for the month of June and was pleasantly surprised. I got $50, up from the $23 last month!!! I did have quite a few more lenses in June than in May, but the payout tier #'s were pretty much on course. I don't think I described the Squidoo payout system in my earlier post, so I'll do that now, or make my best attempt at an explanation.

Squidoo pays out on a tier system made up of 3 "tiers." The tiers are broken down by lens rank with the top tier having the highest lens ranking and so on. There is some debate regarding how Squidoo determines what a certain lens' lens rank is when it sets the payment tiers. I always assumed the lens rank was the average ranking the lens had for the month, but things couldn't be that easy......No, Squidoo apparently feels the need to be somewhat secretive about whether they use lens rank averages or just "randomly" choose one day of the month and take a snapshot of the true lens ranking when making determinations on tiers. I have more to say on this, but will save it for another day....

Here is the breakdown in tiers for the month of June:

Tier 1 - $7.78
Tier 2 - $1.32
Tier 3 - $0.07

I had 4 lenses in the top tier, compared to just 2 in May, so I am pleased with that ratio. I did have quite a few more total lenses in June than I did in May so my payday could have been a LOT better if I had been able to squeeze a few more of those into the second tier, but I'm not going to complain about almost doubling my payment from month 1 to month 2. I can't wait to see the payout for month 3!!!!

Squidoo Experiment Update

Today marked my very 1st payday since being sucked into this thing called Squidoo.com and I have to admit that I am pretty pleased with the results. Payments are delayed 2 months, so today's payday was for the month of May. I only had a few lenses (4-5) published by the end of May, so I wasn't expecting much at all, but I had a $23.76 payday!!!!

Ok, now I know this isn't lottery winnings or anything, but it is $23 more than I had before and I also now have over 100 lenses compared to the 4-5 in May. This Squidoo thing may work out after all.....it better because it is EXTREMELY addictive!!! Sphere: Related Content

Twitter

Ok, has anyone else been bitten by the Twitter bug? I find it so strange that I have just because this is not a site I ever pictured myself being even slightly interested in, but I have found it surprisingly addictive. Check out my Squidoo lens on Twittermania HERE and you can follow my exciting life HERE..............don't expect too much. My life is far from exciting. Sphere: Related Content

Do You Squidoo?

If you are wondering what the hell Squidoo is, you probably aren't alone. I only recently discovered it and I don't remember exactly how, but it is the most addictive thing ever!!!! You can make a "lens" about anything at all that interests you. Lenses are basically the different web pages within Squidoo that everyone creates on any and all subjects. Most of the work is already done for you and you just have to basically arrange everything and come up with a good topic. I know, this sounds completely uninteresting, but trust me.......once you stop, you can't stop. Check out my page @ Squidoo.com Sphere: Related Content

Well, here I am....

Honestly, I have no clear direction for this blog and no idea if anyone will ever see it. I have recently been sucked into the insane depths of "social media" and needed an outlet for my frustrations, observations and just general b.s. that has come along with this journey. Since I have created a Squidoo.com lens or blog about almost everything I can think of in the past couple of months, I thought the only logical thing to do would be to create a blog about these blogs. Stay tuned.....let the games begin.... Sphere: Related Content
