Wow, this month was my best ever for earning online. Both eHow and Squidoo have their payday around the 15th of the month. For Squidoo, I made $138 which was a new high for me, plus I was paid $99 for my reward in the Summer Sunshine Contest on Squidoo. The lens that won that for me was Ramona and Beezus: from a Book to a Movie. It was a great contest and the designated charity on the lens (Room to Read) also received $99. Add my $99 to the $138 payday and my Squidoo earnings came to $237 for the month.
On eHow, I haven’t published anything since the site switched to Demand Studios for editing (over 6 months ago). The articles I wrote for that site over a two year timespan continue to earn residuals for me. The September payout was $376.49. The past four months have been fairly stagnant for my earnings on the site. To give it a boost, I should make an effort to build some backlinks for the articles. I’m not complaining, as it is quite nice to receive over $300 a month for past work.
Anyway, the total online earnings from Squidoo and eHow make a grand total of $613.49. It was my best month of online earning so far. That doesn’t even include the couple of dollars that I made from Zazzle products and Zazzle referrals.
If you’d like to see the progression of earning on Squidoo from a few dollars a month up to the current month, bookmark my lens Squidoo Payday – My Earnings Record. Check that lens around the 15th of each month to see how I’m doing. If you are a Squidoo lensmaster, there’s a duel on the lens where you can add your own earnings. It’s interesting to see how well some lensmasters are doing on the site.

WOW!
Very impressing Virginia.
I am proud of you!

Wow! Those are awesome results! I just started writing articles online a few months back and have been writing on Bukisa. I have so far amassed a fortune of $3.16 (!) but I am trying not to feel discouraged as in the beginning, I was averaging less than a penny a day and am now up over a dime a day. I also have had some luck on RedGage, putting links to my Bukisa articles and posting photos. In two weeks there, I have made $6, most of that was a bonus of over $5 for a photo I put on that was chosen for a feature.
Thank you for sharing so openly about your earnings and experiences. I have no idea what I’m doing and any encouragement is always great, so it’s wonderful to hear of someone who is having success.
It pays to be consistent with the Squidoo lenses as I have doubled my income on my last Paypal payment.
