Man Bites Blog!

Ye gods! It's only been a few weeks, yet today I spotted $1.62 in the Pending Earnings Section of my Cartoon Sheep Squidoo lens!

What a rush! My first ever passive income stream (or, at least, tinkle). I said I'd let you all know, so there you go. Thanks heaps for your interest and support. Will keep you posted. Off to buy some mixed lollies now. Best regards, P.

Good on you Paul, love the bamboozled kitten, I was coming over for a loan from your newfound wealth but I see you have already spent it.

Let's hope there is a lot more to come.

Good luck.

Thanks, katyzzz! It certainly is a red letter day. I'm sure I can spare a couple of aniseed balls. I never liked them much anyway. Best regards, P.

Fantastic news! Now where's that $1.63 you owe me?

Geez! A man makes his fortune & everyone suddenly comes out of the woodwork!

As my dear mother Barbie Hassing wrote in a calligraphy book that I didn't discover until months after her death: 'If you are successful you win false friends & true enemies. Succeed anyway.'

It was like a message from the afterworld. I tore out the page, put it in a protective plastic sheath & fixed it to my filing cabinet. I read it often.

crazy - you made money off Squidoo? Does it use Google ads?

Dear Cib, I nearly fell off my chair when I got the news. Such a small sum, but such a huge breakthrough after being excommunicated for this life (& probably the next!) by Google AdSense.

Squidoo has a varied suite of monetarising modules that you pick & place. You choose the ones that suit your particular 'lens' content, set your preferences & away you go.

There are Google ads, but Squidoo collects & distributes the loot, so EVIL people like me can participate in the world again.

You also get commissions from ebay, Amazon, travel firms & other stuff that I haven't even looked into. It's completely up to you & it's ridiculoulsly simple.

The big question is: will my $1.62 fortune grow, or was it an anomaly? Watch this space! With best regards & many thanks for your interest. P.

Many thanks, moonglow. Mum wasn't a writer, but she read every story I gave to her & was very supportive. My Dad got me into English. As a Dutch migrant, he was determined to speak his new language perfectly. It rubbed off & now I'm a writer/copywriter. Best regards, P.
